Retinasizer: Makes games compatible with Retina Display

Retinasizer is a new tweak available in Cydia that "forces" certain games to be compatible with the Retina Display of the iPhone 4 and iPod Touch 4G terminals. As you well know, these 2 terminals have a resolution of 960×640, so double the old terminals, and this requires updating the applications with graphic elements that are compatible with this resolution. Unfortunately, the developers are still working on updating their own applications, so not all applications in the AppStore are yet compatible with Retina Display. Retinasizer comes to solve this problem by forcing games compatible with OpenGL ES to run at 960×640 resolution, so as if the graphics were made for Retina Display.

Unfortunately, this tweak does not work with all games, but the developer promises to create a system that will allow us to activate this tweak for any OpenGL ES ready game. Until then, here is the list of games that can be retinasized:

  • Sonic 4 (SEGA)
  • PES 2010 (Konami)
  • Zombie Infection (gameloft)
  • ACE Combat (Namco)
  • Tiger Woods Golf (EA)
  • Sim City Deluxe (EA)
  • Street Fighter 4 (Capcom)
  • Touch Pets: Cats (ngmoco)
  • FAST (SGN)

Retinasizer is 100% free and available in Cydia through the BigBoss repo.
