This option only appears for the Classic renderer and is recommended to be '''Off''' at all times unless the hardware you are using is incredibly weak making this a necessity.		:'''''Pixel Doubling''''' is the correct terminology for the '''''Detail''''' option in the original game's option menu, with '''Off''' corresponding to High Detail and '''On''' to Low Detail.
