Edit autoexec.cfg^[1]

Run the game at least once.
Open <path-to-game>\autoexec.cfg.
Find the lines "screenwidth and "screenheight".
Change them to the desired values.

Notes

Stretched gameplay by default at resolutions wider than 4:3, use the FOV fix for an unstretched Hor+ image.

HUD and menus are cropped at aspect ratios wider than 4:3 by default. Use one of the in-game resolutions and force the desired one using a DirectX wrapper like dgVoodoo 2.

Issues fixed

Mouse movement jittery/skipping pixels

Wrap the old DirectInput calls into DirectInput 8^[1]
Download the DirectInput 1-7 to 8 wrapper. Extract `dinput.dll` from the downloaded `dinput.zip` to `<path-to-game>`. Go to the mouse options ingame, put the SMOOTHING option all the way to the right, and reduce sensitivity. Increase sensitivity through the mouse's DPI on the mouse driver's control panel.

Vsync broken on Windows 10

Use dgVoodoo 2^[1]

Use crosire's d3d8to9 wrapper^[1]
Download `d3d8.dll` from here. Place it in `<path-to-game>`.

According to System Informer, the game loads d3d8.dll. dgVoodoo2's traces point to Direct3D 8 (e.g: "Direct3DDevice8").
