I've noticed though that the parallax star background disappears in the first game when you do this. The starfield still works in the 1.0.0 release from what I've tested, but release 1.1.0 breaks this, and it remains broken in 1.6.3.

Seems like even now in 2021 the upscaling issues with Gradius 1 are still present. It's interesting that it doesn't break with Gradius 2 or 3, only 1. They're also only present when the resolution is increased. None of the texture filters seem to be affecting it for better or worse.
