4:3 No Scanlines?

[Castor Troy]

Any way to play in 4:3 but without scanlines? I want the game to fill up the full height of my monitor.

What's dumb is every game in the collection is stuck in that box instead of proper 4:3...
Except for Operation C, the Gameboy game, the one that had the smallest screen out of all of them is the only one with full 4:3

I as well was surprised at the lack of this very option. I'm assuming it would not take much effort to provide via an update, but I have the feeling this will not happen soon if at all.

Yeah, they didn't really think the options through. I want 4:3, fitted to the top and bottom border, with no scanlines.

The scanlines wouldn't be so bad if they looked real, but they're super dark making it difficult to see small shots.

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.
