Yeah that will work too. But performance is better at high resolutions with artwork enabled when using the D3D renderer. And you can't use HLSL effects when using ddraw.

IIRC the Prescale setting only works with the D3D renderer. When HLSL is enabled it has no effect, the Prescale value found among the HLSL settings takes precedence.
There's a clear difference in "pixel even-ness" at 1280x1024 (my native resolution) between prescale 0 and 3, especially on very low res games.
