Even my old apple serial port scanner works in …

I don't know, every version of Windows 95 that I've used had 16-bit icons included. I saw a registry hack for enabling high-color icons in a magazine back in the day, and never went back. I know Plus! enables them, but I could've sworn one of the Power Toys did, also. Open regedit, go to "HKEY_ …

Yep, this works. 200p games get 1280x200 in fulscreen, and 240p games get 1280x240 in fullscreen. I also get these resolutions in windowed mode when the game executable in run. Also, there was some vertical scanlines effect. Don't know if this was intentional or not. I'm still setting up my stuff …

Yes, that's named after MAME but people use it for any number of emulators - it does all those super resolutions to great effect.
