Jagex recently tweeted this. I thought I’d share it here for those who are interested

For Windows

1. Right click the Windows icon (usually in the bottom left corner) and select Open Windows Explorer.
2. Browse to C:\Users\{user}\jagexcache\jagexlauncher\ 
3. Copy the runescape folder, and call it oldschool
   • {user} is the name of the account that actually did the downloadable client install.
4. Go into the oldschool folder, and rename runescape.prm tooldschool.prm (NOTE: if you don’t have file extensions set as visible, you will see “runescape” rather than “runescape.prm” as the file - you’ll need to just rename it to “oldschool”, as the file extension will then stay the same)
5. Right click the oldschool.prmfile and either select ‘edit’ or ‘open with’.
6. If you need to select open with chose any text editor like Notepad or Write.
7. When the file opens find the line that says -Dcom.jagex.config=http://www.runescape.com/k=3/l=$(Language:0)/jav_config.wsand change it to say -Dcom.jagex.config=http://oldschool.runescape.com/jav_config.ws 
8. Language:0 may be :1 :2 etc. This is redundant for oldschool servers as they are English only.
9. Save the file.
10. Copy your shortcut to the downloadable client to a new one, called Old School RuneScape, or similar
11. Edit the new shortcut so that where it says “JagexLauncher.exerunescape” it now says “JagexLauncher.exe oldschool”
12. Open the downloadable client using the new link to get the old school game, or your old link to get the main game!

Mac OSx

1. In Finder click on Applications.
2. Right click on the RuneScape icon.
3. Select ‘Show Package Contents’.
4. Double click on the folder ‘Contents’.
5. Double click on the file Info.plist
6. In the Info.plist file look for the line <string>http://www.runescape.com/k=3/l=$(Language:0)/jav_config.ws</string> and change it to say <string>http://oldschool.runescape.com/jav_config.ws </string>
   • Language:0 may be :1 :2 etc. This is redundant for oldschool servers as they are English only.
7. Save the file.
8. Open the downloadable client as you normally would.

I did it and I'm disappointed. Was hoping for a larger version of the game...

Apparently, if you adjust your resolution a bit it helps make it a lot bigger.
