Okay.. Editing my original post. Sorry about this. Finally found some more info. I'm going to dig up the work-around that riq posted and see what happens.

Right now, I'm just trying to get the following to scale properly in iPhone 4 Simulator.
```
CCSprite *bg = [CCSprite spriteWithFile:@"mainMenu.png"];
[self addChild:bg];
```

Alright. Here is how I got my hi res sprite to display properly in 0.99.4 on both iphone 4 (displays hi res) and iphone 3g (displays lo res).

Note: I have image.png and image@2x.png in the Resources.

In the scene:
```
CCSprite *bg = [CCSprite spriteWithFile:@"image.png"];
bg.position = ccp(size.width/2, size.height/2);
[self addChild:bg];
```
In the AppDelegate
```
[director setContentScaleFactor:[[UIScreen mainScreen] scale]];
```
Only works on iPhone simulators, does not scale properly on iPad.

Is there a better / recommended way to accomplish this?
