1:1 pixel resolution option

[Dan]

Hi, do you know what option I should select for DS games to make it pixel perfect? Or what resolution I should use? Not sure if it is possible for now all text looks weird compared to original.

Thank you

I've settled on using the 4th screen option as it seems both windows are integer scaled. That and it's less visual clutter so hitting "select" to swap what's on the right quickly is no big deal.

Some of the other screen settings might also be integer scaled, but I'm not a fan of the other layouts so I can't confirm. I know the default one isn't!

the 2nd one might be integer scaled.

I think you're right!

BUT - it depends on how the game window is scaled it seems. At the default windowed resolution of 1080p the only setting that seems to have even integer scaling is option 2. When I alt-enter the game into full screen on my 1440p monitor, it stretches it further and results in uneven pixels (even on setting 2).

So ultimately it seems like 2 is the answer, as long as you stick to 1080p. I had dismissed option 2 on the steam deck because it didn't look right, but it seems this is a result of the lower resolution (however option 4 does scale evenly, which explains my first post).

I'm playing on a 1440p screen (I'm not sure if the game is rendering at that resolution or just upscaling 1080p like the older collections do), I find options 3 & 4 to be integer scaled on both large and small screens.
The main screens are very close in 1 & 2, but the small screens are pretty bad.
Option 5 is the worst one for pixel size consistency.

I haven't tried the Steam version, but based on the Switch one it depends on your resolution.
At 720p (Switch handheld mode and Steam Deck), only screen layout 4 gets you integer scaling.
Meanwhile, at 1080p (Switch docked mode) it's screen layout 2.

Alight, was in 1440 but only 4th option was integer scale on my side and not the smaller screen, only the bigger one. Tried 1080 and option 2 and 4 are perfect 1:1, so I will stick to that.

Option 4 is interger scale for 720p/800p screens, you get the main screen at 3x native ds resolution (meaning pixels are copied in 3x3 grid) and the sub screen at 2x native ds resolution (2x2 grid) side by side. The only reason I jumped on this collection is because no DS emulator on the steam deck has a screen layout similar to option 4, they all stretch the screens to fit either 1:1, 2:1, or 3:1, not 3:2
