Overview
Play vertically instead of horizontal
Introduction
Are you an old school rhythm game player and can’t adjust to the horizontal scrolling? Can’t play long enough because your eyes hurt with this scheme.
Here’s how a new way to play the game vertically.
Rotating via Display drivers
In this case, I’m using nvidia drivers. AMD definitely have this option, you just need to know how they do it.
Go to Nvidia Control Panel, under Display >> Rotate DIsplay. Choose the monitor you will play Muse Dash on and select this option:
Hit apply.
If you are a DDR player, choose the portrait flipped (you also need to flip the controls to correct it)
Fixing size
When you run Muse Dash right now, it will look cut off depending on your current monitor’s resolution and muse dash’s resolution.
You have 3 options to fix the sizing of Muse dash:
1) If you have a 4K/1440p Monitor
This is the easiest option because 4K is twice the width/height of a 1080p dimension. You just need to drop Muse Dash resolution to 1080p and it will scale perfectly.
If you have a 1440p monitor, you need to drop Muse Dash’s resolution to 1280×720 instead to properly scale it.
See my setup below
2) If you have a 1080p monitor only and your graphics card can handle Muse Dash @ 4K
Use Nvidia’s DSR and select 4X and hit apply. (AMD’s equivalent is called Virtual Super Resolution)
Note: Selecting any other DSR factors apart from 4x will result to a blurry experience.
Set your resolution on the monitor you will play Muse Dash to 4K (3840 x 2160) and then set your Muse Dash’s resolution to 1080p
3) If you own a monitor that is not 16:9
If you have ultra widescreen and such, it might be hard to find a way to properly scale the size of Muse Dash on fullscreen so my only solution is to play it on windowed.
Enjoy
This trick made me able to play Muse Dash for longer periods without hurting/straining my eyes.
Now hopefully you can now beat those 8+ songs.
Probably the main reason why I wasn’t into taiko, Adjusting from vertical scroll rhythm games to horizontal scroll is hard.
