No.

or... I strongly believe the viewable play area (e.g. the area in which you can see the level, players, bullets, and such) should not be allowed to go above the original default of the game (640x480) in multiplayer games. The reason for this is that it would allow certain people (like those who downloaded the program) to have an unfair advantage over others who are playing using the default. If you don't believe this point, try dueling someone who is playing at 640x480 while you play at 400x300.

If you want a utility that increases the size of the window, but keeps the play area no larger than 640x480, then that's fine. To get an idea of the sort of thing I'm talking about, press F3 while in-game in JJ2. Also being able to play split-screen with all the screens at 640x480 might be nice.

If you're playing on a TFT display and are concerned about quality, then don't play fullscreen. Either that or make sure you are playing at a resolution that is a direct multiple of 2 of the fixed resolution of your TFT display. I suppose one way a resolution changer could help would be to allow those resolutions that are those direct multiples of 2, but again so long as the play area does not exceed 640x480 for the above stated reason.


And I would like to hear some reasonable counter-arguments to Frank's post. Most of what I seem to be hearing is along the lines of "oh, stop whining, it'll be alright" without any real points (presumably because those people want the advantage).
