Black Screen when using upscaling options on more recent IIDX versions
Expected behavior
Game should display at custom resolution
Current behavior
Black screen. Game still runs though. Lights react on my FPS controller and game sounds play just no visuals.
Detailed Description
Configuring gfx.scale_back_buffer causes IIDX to display a black screen. I tested it with 23 Copula, 24 Sinobuz, and 25 Cannonballers. The option does however function as intended when I tested it with 12 Happy Sky. I tried using a fresh copy of these games and it still didn't work.

Thanks for the detailed report. Just letting you know that I was able to reproduce this in a Win10 VM with IIDX 24 and our current master branch. The issue will be updated as we progress.

Update: This issue affects all IIDX games supporting HD and SD mode, so 20+. Because of changes in the rendering engine and how it handles rendering for HD/SD mode, the old code does not work anymore (causing the black screen). To resolve this, a new and more complex implementation is requried to handle the upscaling and keeping the old solution required for pre 20 in place.
