hqx ("high quality scale") is a set of 3 image upscaling algorithms developed by Maxim Stepin. The algorithms are hq2x, hq3x, and hq4x, which magnify by a factor of 2, 3, and 4 respectively. It was initially created in 2003 for the Super NES emulator ZSNES,[1] and is used in emulators such as Nestopia, F. CEUXSnes9x., and Snes9x.
