Multiple Resolutions and Auto Scaling
This version features four main resolution settings.
 * 320x240 (The original resolution and the one most characters are made in)
 * 640x480 (The resolution used by Hires mugen characters and stages)
 * 1280x720 (The resolution used by KFM720 and the one most likely to be popular among users of this version)
 * 1920x1080 (The highest setting, but to enjoy these to the fullest it takes a strong cpu, because mugen ignores the video card, and a full HD TV)

This Version will automatically scale game components (like characters and stages) to fit in the playing field based on there native resolution which is set in their DEF file. If for some reason (like it being a older character) the native resolution is not set it appears to assume it is 320x240 and will scale it appropriately. The Scale factors from the original size are:
 * 320x240 > 640x480 = 2 times
 * 320x240 > 1280x720 = 4 times
 * 320x240 > 1920x1080 = 6 times
