Maple story 1024*786

More importantly, how would you force it in a game with no 3D rendering whatsoever.

(Silly thread is silly.)

Maple uses Direct Draw, which is the 2D variant of Direct 3D, and it can handle the same filters/shaders as Direct 3D...

Still... gMS Maplestory is retardedly BAD programmed on the engine... that is... the core engine dates back to 2001 when all there was, was only 1st job skills and vic island...

But the core engine doesn't support multi-threading, real-GPU hardware accelleration, is WAY too CPU reliant, and isn't really designed for more graphic-heavy skills other then magic claw and lucky7... let alone if 30 people in 1 screen (squad bosses) start spamming them all together...

Although you CAN notice a REAL speed boost in the 1024 mode of kMS (yes that runs way faster then gMS in 800 mode), it's still not as fast as I would like to see Maple (200+ FPS).
