Are these things that can be fixed?
So I got a few things about the game that I wanna know if I can fix. If there is an options button to change this, let me know and i'll mention how much of an idiot I am.

#1: Full screen for the anniversary collection game itself? Is there a way to do that?

#2: Increase the resolution on the older games.

#3: Rebinding the controls with a controller for Castlevania 1, cause some idiot swapped the A and B button. (The other key-binding for my controller work fine)

#4: Is this collection honestly better then just emulation and roms?

1) From what I've heard, Alt + Enter works. Never tried it though since I prefer windowed.
2) You can increase it, but you'll have to have scanlines. Don't ask me what the devs of this collection were thinking when they decided to give you the option of max resolution with scanlines, but no option for max resolution without scanlines.
3) I know for a fact you can change controls on a keyboard, I don't have a controller so have nothing to say on that.
4) No. Buying this collection just means you want to legally have all games that are included. Emulators are better, but you just want to play the games, this collection does the job.

Thank you, honestly took me a while to realize the option menu was the right trigger on my controller. There I was able to find fixes to everything I was looking for... yes I am an idiot.

If you would like to turn the scanlines from disturbing to normal and nice you can:

  1. right click on the game in steam,
  2. click browse local files then
  3. right click on the game.exe file then
  4. click properties then
  5. compatibility, then
  6. Change settings for all users, then
  7. select "disable full screen optimizations", then
  8. click "Change high DPI settings", then
  9. check both boxes under "Program DPI" and "High DPI scaling override" and make sure "scaling performed by:" is set to "Application".
  10. Click Apply, then OK. then launch the game

That's what I did and it fixed the uneven and unusable scanlines issue. Scanlines look correct now. same fix also works for Castlevania Anniversary Collection, It improves the scanlines in Sega Mega Drive Classics and Megaman Legacy Collection as well. It might even work on other games where proper, accurate scaling is imperative or Windows scaling interferes with certain aspects of presentation.
Thank You!! :happystar2022:
