Truly play EMI in different resolutions

jeunealbert has hacked together a patch that lets you play Escape from Monkey Island in various resolutions, including a 320x200 retro mode. Yikes! Download it, but make sure to read the post about it before you start.

Man, this is like the best thing I've downloaded in the past hour.

Correction: WORST!

Uh, does a higher res really make that much difference?
(I haven't downloaded, I don't wanna mess with it.)

Man, I wouldn't want to play EMI again at any resolution.

Mr Flibble, the background art still appears at the original resolution. Only the models (the 3D characters and objects) are rendered at the higher resolution. They look much smoother.

However, most modern graphics cards use FSAA (Full Scene Anti-Aliasing) to make the game look smoother in any case, so the improvement is fairly marginal. You can see it if you're looking for it, but if you're not in an experimenting mood, it's probably not worth the hassle. :)
