I am playing World Racing 2 for PC... partially emulated on my PC. This sounds weird, but it's running with programs that translate code from an old GPU and sound card!

I have WR2 set to 640x480 windowed at max settings, wrapped to Vulkan with DXVK to fix the game's awful flashing and frame stutter issues on modern Windows and/or GPUs.

I then used a program called Magpie to rescale the window to 4K with its Lottes-CRT scaling mode, plus some tweaks Magpie lets you do to whatever shaders you've picked (In my case, Lottes-CRT).

For audio I'm using Creative ALchemy modded with the restriction remover, so I can get the EAX effects and better positionality WR2 supports.
