This will have an impact on the performance of those games!
When starting the game in docked mode, it starts with a lower resolution and looks really blurry, but if you take the switch out of the dock and put it back in, it will change to a higher resolution.
You CANNOT press the PLUS button during or after the process because it will result in reverting to a low resolution.
Yes, this means that you CAN’T access the map while playing the game if you don’t want to be getting the switch out of and into the dock every time you press the PLUS button.
SAVING the game will also result in going back to a lower resolution!
I took some screenshots and video footage to show the difference, and honestly, to me it makes a huge difference in clarity.

[Link to a video](https://youtu.be/ljOoTNPcMCA), unfortunately youtube’s compression will do it’s thing but you can definietly still tell a difference.
It also works for the other games in the trilogy!

This is big, thanks!
So why does this happen exactly
What an awful port. Thanks for the advice!
What a cool system
Tangentially related but is there any way in handheld mode to reduce the awful ghosting resulting from the taa used by the game? Also, is it expected that the ground haze thing doesn’t work in handheld?
Gonna hijack this here how is gta trilogy on switch? I know it’s old but does it it feel like I should play it elsewhere?
I know it’s a terrible re-release, but is it still worth it to pick it up on sale? I’ve never played the older gta titles before. What’s your guys’ experience with the game?
clearly he want some pizza
Am I blind or can anyone else not tell the difference between the high and low res photos?
this gotta be the dumbest port in existence
I just wish SA gets a reverse engineered port. I’m sick of this shit.
Any other games with identical or similar hacks to get better resolution?
