    Are you unsatisfied with the in-game full-screen mode? Or are you unable to tolerate distorted and flattened images of different aspect ratios?

    Here's an introduction to a useful tool that you can use to:
    1. Fullscreen and upscale the image maintaining the proper aspect ratio and near-zero input latency.
    2. Faster scaling than the in-game(Alt+Enter) method and can be utilized in any window-mode game.
    3. To enjoy the fancy, classic, retro original Maplestory 2D art that's more clear and without distortion.
    4. I'm too old to blame my presbyopia or shortsighted. Just need a larger field of view to enjoy the game.

    This tool is called Magpie and you can find the download link and info via this link:

    Magpie is a lightweight window scaling tool that comes equipped with various efficient scaling algorithms and filters. Its primary purpose is to enhance game graphics and enable non-fullscreen games to display in fullscreen mode.

    You can download it by clicking the Releases

    Unzip it click Magpie.exe and bring up the first page

    First, set your hotkey or you may want to use Delayed scaling.

    Set up your default profiles(or you may want to create one for Maplroyals) and choose Scaling mode.

    Here, I choose FSR for lower latency and fine picture quality.

    Remember to set the Cursor speed correction to match up upscale game upload_2025-1-15_20-11-1.png


    We know that Mapleroyals client gives an option (Alt+Enter or set Fullscreen in setting menu) that may flatten your game like the picture below


    Compare the former to Magpie's upscale screenshot (FSR for instance)


    You can turn on the in-game overlay to check upscale latency which is acceptable

    If you want better quality and trade off some latency
    Can choose Anime-4k

    Beware this tool is Not supposed to be used as:
    1. Duo attack, since you have only 1 client available. If you want multiple windows with different sizes, you can check this thread: https://royals.ms/forum/threads/resize-mapleroyals-window-mode-with-resizeenable.130391/
    or if you simply want to fix the small window in a large screen resolution problem, you can check this thread: https://royals.ms/forum/threads/how-to-play-mapleroyals-in-a-bigger-client-size.146299/
    2. Enlarge the horizontal view of the screen, you can't take that advantage in this software anyway.
    3. You hate the black border bar on each side of the screen (which is unavoidable if you play Maplroyals in 16:9 monitor)

    Claim:
    This software doesn't do game inputs nor directly communicate with the client. So I guess it's legit to use in-game(Need admin to confirm tho).
