Pentagram Scaler / Resolution Question

[dinglesniff]

Hi guys! Thank you so much for making this, its one of my all time favorite games and was the only reason I kept a PC from 1999 working after all these years until a few years ago.

With that I REALLY want to play the game on my 4k monitor and had a question on the difference between the scalers: point, bilinear, scale2x, 2xSaI, super2xSaI, supereagle, hq.

Do they increase the texture packs? Or are they simply a different scaler to see which version runs smoother?

I would love to play and see more of the map at the higher resolutions, however the script is too small and running and fight is a pain so it seems the sweet spot is:
scalex=1024
scaley=768
&
width=1920
height=1080

What have you guys found to work best on your side?

I wouldn't go higher than 800x600 for the scale value, probably more likely at 640x400. Width and height at whatever you want to. If it is 3 or 4 times the scalex/y you can use the hq scaler as that will scale better.
The different scalers are just different ways to make the tiny pixels look better at being bigger.
