Allow "stretching" of pixels

[michalc]

I would like to play at 800x600, but "stretched". I can briefly do this - I set it in Game Options, and then I click and drag the window bigger. It gets to my perfect size, but then when I release the mouse, the window stays the same size, but in it everything "snaps" back and becomes smaller.

Is there a way to prevent it from snapping back and becoming smaller?

(I have tinkered with the interface size, font size, and resolution, but nothing seems quite as clear to me as just 800x600 but stretched to be a bit bigger somehow!)

I'm on macOS Monterey on an Apple M1 if it's relavent

In the settings, change it from 800x600 to Custom. Then resize the window to whatever size you want, and it should stick.

Or do you mean that you want the game to be rendered at 800x600 but want the display to be stretched by (for example 1.5x) up to 1200x900, or similar?
(Personally I wouldn't want that. Stretching pixel-art games at non-whole factors doesn't look great.)

Ah there isn't a Custom for me, although there is an "Other" that seems to always be selected. No matter which I choose, then resizing doesn't seem to make it stick

Ah this is exactly what I want. It doesn't seem too bad to me when I do it "temporarily" (and I wonder if stretching by whole factors would be ok and would fit on my screen...)
