I understand your frustration, @ad-si. Squeak has a high-res/demo mode that somewhat works on Windows when auto-upscaling is disabled. But none of the release VMs support it officially. There's a branch for adding high-res support, but development has stalled at some point unfortunately. Maybe @krono can provide a quick status update? The Pharo community is currently working on Bloc which is supposed to provide high-res graphics I think.
