Any way to increase window/resolution sizes of RPGMaker VX Ace games on Windows 10?

[Mr. Jizzard The Tentacle Wizard]

I have so many great games I bought that were made on this engine, and they are such a pain to try to play because the tiny size of the window (it hurts my eyes trying to see graphics that tiny). I have tried lots of different solutions, but nothing really worked. If somebody has a suggestion I'd love to hear it, thanks.

Yes, you can use Yanfly's Core Script, and increase the resolution to a maximum of 640*480. There might be other ways, but that's the one I know of that works.

Thanks for your input, but that's still really small, isn't it? I remember some really nice RPGMaker games called 'Forever Home' and 'Last Dream' that had really nice window sizes/resolutions. I'm hoping to be able to get 'em that big.

I do believe that there was once a DLL that one could of acquired back in 2011 to 2014 that would allow for higher resolutions, but that has long since gone the way of the dodo and if ya didn't get it then, you're not supposed to be able to get it now (I don't see why though-PC displays are getting larger and more complex and it only seems fair to allow everyone to have the larger resolution without having to migrate to JavaScript-powered MV).

Press left Alt + Enter to Zoom to fullscreen Mode.
Or press F1 to open a Menu and select Fullscreen there but than you have to close and open the Game again.

The Script you ment was a mess and totally lagy and got also some bugs. It got discontinued before it reached a viable and reliable state.

But you can change the standard 17x13 544x416 Pixel resolution to 20x15Maptiles 640x480Pixel when you insert this as new Script into the Scripteditor in Materials Section:

Graphics.resize_screen(640, 480)

I'll keep that little tidbit in mind from here onward...

Hey...it's me again. I just bought yet ANOTHER small-screen RPGMaker game this Halloween Sale! So I'd like to try that script you posted: Graphics.resize_screen(640, 480)

But problem is, I'm a total nub when it comes to this stuff, how do I add a script to an already completed game? All the tutorials I can find are about adding scripts to your own RPGMaker project.

This game is also made with VX Ace.

Yeah, unfortunately, without a way of removing the encryption, you can't do this unless there's some debug console script in place that would let you do this from a console input akin to some games like Unreal. I would simply ask in the game discussion thread if that could be implemented instead.

You mean the game's community hub? I would, but unfortunately Aldorlea Games seems to have a pretty poor track record of keeping any kind of promise at all, as I asked them half a year ago to add a guide for one of their games as DLC (they actually agreed) and it still isn't there in the store. Wish there was some kind of epic hack for the engine to force larger resolutions...lol. Am I allowed to say that here? Anyways, many thanks for the reply!

You dont change the resolution of Projects of others and you are not supposed to insert any Scripts into them.

You can Play in Windowed Mode in normal resolution or you Zoom that to your Monitor Size in the Way i explained above. Did it work?

Changing the Resolutionm of Pixel Games will change the Visible Area around the Player,
and thats nothing good, because the artists and developers of that game designed the maps and areas specialy for that resolution, changing that would make things visible which should not be visible, or simply look ugly because of that, Pictures could be cut of at some points or stretch and look different and not optimal.

Edit:
Like i said you can change the Resolution of the Games you create to the max of 640x480.
You cant change the Resolution of Games others made. Even if you could, i would not recomment it.

If you want much more Freedom in terms of Screen resolution, than i would recomment checking out the Demo of RPG Maker MV.
