Set that to match your video card / LCD display settings.
As an example, my LCD monitor (old NEC MultiSync 1850E) has a "Native" resolution of 1280x1024. If I look in my Windows "Screen Resolution" dialog, I have it set to that figure, which is "(recommended)". I have my SH4 "Options", "Graphic Settings", "Game Resolution" set to the same at 75Hz refresh, and all dial, menu items, etc., display fine. Your game sounds like it might be set to the "default" of 1024x768, which kind of crams everything into a smaller space...  |
Thanks for the quick response. I’m currently running at its recommended setting 3840X2160 16:9 at 60Hz. I’m running it on my laptop so that should explain the craz dimension. When I first reinstalled SH4 on my current laptop I had to fiddle with the resolution because all the writing was absolutely tiny and unreadable. Now at least it’s readable, but I will play with the resolution again and see if I can get it better.
Edit:
Well that was weird, in the options it said I was running it at the recommended resolution, but when I clicked on it to double check and reselected it, it shrunk everything back to being almost unreadable haha. So apparently I wasn’t on my recommended settings. But I changed it to 1920X1080 16:9 at 60Hz and it’s good now. The writing and icons are still a little small but I will get used to them. And more importantly now I can access my whole crew menu.
