Methodology #1 (Bowi. January 2023)

 * Run games inside RPCS3. (I dumped my own games.)
 * Install ReShade (basic) and use the included "Depth Buffer" monitoring to deduce resolution.
 * Switch between Anti-Aliasing ON/OFF sometimes in order to verify whether resolutions are properly captured. Note: Anti-Aliasing never caused problem during my analysis.
 * Repeat the same tests for 480p 4:3, 480p 16:9, 720p, and 1080p (1080p is not always possible since some games were not compatible on real hardware)
 * Take screenshots using ReShade's feature.
 * Screenshots while in fullscreen are more convenient.
 * Reshade can simultaneously make two versions of the same frame: with overlay, and without overlay.

Limitations: This method does not account for games using multiple resolutions during gameplay, like Linger in Shadows.
