Widescreen resolution

Main game is ~15:9 (3DS aspect ratio) shared to either single or two virtual screens, which can be toggled with F5.
With mode where main screen is bigger, it's possible to freely adjust screens position by holding Alt and the more important screen is brought to bigger screen space (e.g. pausing). It's also possible to manually switch screen places with F6.
If two screen mode is used background space is filled with static image up to selected resolution.
Some assets are directly ported from 3DS version while others are much higher quality. See in-game general screenshot for demonstration, where buttons and text on sides are higher quality than the rest of the assets.

Notes

  1. 1.0 1.1 File/folder structure within this directory reflects the path(s) listed for Windows and/or Steam game data (use Wine regedit to access Windows registry paths). Games with Steam Cloud support may store data in ~/.steam/steam/userdata/<user-id>/388800/ in addition to or instead of this directory. The app ID (388800) may differ in some cases. Treat backslashes as forward slashes. See the glossary page for details.
