Well, unless the LCD or the video card supports hardware scaling, the
only way is to run "Kobo Deluxe" (final name - "SKobo" was just
temporary) "natively" at a higer resolution. Current versions support
320x240, 640x480, 960x720 and 1280x960. (The other resolutions in the
list are for OpenGL - the current engine support only integer scale
factors.)

The problem with that would be performance, but the last few snapshots
still run pretty well on "reasonable" hardware - at least the game is
playable (IMHO) on a Celeron 333 machine.

If you have h/w accelerated OpenGL, that might eventually solve the
problem. The current Kobo Deluxe version (I'll upload the pre-release
image today) actually has OpenGL support already, but it's more ore
less broken, so it's still disabled in the default configuration.

The latest snapshots can be found at:

(kobo-2001112x something will show up later today - Need to get back to
work now.)
