People often ask me how to make ZC or ZQ open in windowed-mode, in which case I would send them a link to an old topic where I explained how to do it in detail. I decided it would be beneficial to copy that explanation and make it a pinned topic. So here it is:

How to make ZC or ZQ open in a window:

First make a shortcut for the application, then right-click and go to Properties.
Select the Shortcut tab, like so:

After the target name, type " -res 512 448 big -windowed".

That is for Zelda Classic. Ignore the fact that the screenshot is from ZQuest.
To make ZQuest windowed, type " -windowed -large -scale 1".


(There are other tags that you could use, but this is enough to help those who can't get ZC/ZQ to run in full-screen.)

Or you can just use ZC Launcher :-P

ZC Launcher only increases the programs scale, it doesn't open ZQuest in scale 1 in a large window.

You DO know that you can edit ag.cfg in order to have those parameters? ,scale,large, etc?

should point out that the maximumplaying field size in ZC is only 640x480, increasing the resolution above that starts adding a black border around it.

Wow, I never thought ZQUEST for 1.92 had Large mode. Thought that was a 2.5 feature.
