Crap, I was almost ready to post this one :lol:

== Screen change ==

Anamorphic.


== Supported resolutions ==

1280x768 is unsupported.
TripleHead and faux TH resolutions are unsupported.

Custom res's are a no-go. There's a prefs.xml somewhere in your username's AppData folder, but there is no way to bypass the launcher app :( (maw.exe = launcher+game)

Maybe hacking Maw.bin would help ?


== Aspect ratio support ==

16:9 & 16:10 are natively supported.
15:9 & TH are not.


== HUD stretch ==

None.

Don't be, and thank you !
You shouldn't bother uploading comparison screenies of intro logos really... Be sure to check out the DR template next time, it's easier for readers to find synthetic info in a more-or-less standardized form. ;)

==Grading==

Calculated grade: C+

Lack of 1280x768 is a consequential flaw

CCE: 100%
