haven't found it anywhere, so I thought i'd share on how to run sh3 on notebooks with 1024x600 screens.
1st. find the options file in your documents sh3 folder.
2nd, edit it (it's a txt file - notepad will do), and change "Windowed=No" to Yes.
3rd. right click uoyr screen, choose settings, and slect advanced. there, deselect the box that says "hide display modes that this monitor cannot display properly", and finally select 1024x762, which will put you in scroll down mode.
You have to scroll down to see the lower part of the screen, but let's face it - the gameplay is not so lightning fast that it can't be done ;)
Alternatively - connect an external monitor that supports 1024x768 if you have the option.
Tried it on my Samsung NC10 netbook, and it works, although it runs too slowly to be playable (though i might give it another shot with the settings tweaked a bit, but i'm playing SH1 right now and sailing my faithful S-38).
by the way: yay! 1st post here ;)
