Changing Screen Reso.... It can be done !!!!!

[Tikigod]

I did all the instructions as posted on page 4. Everything installed correctly as far as I can tell from instructions. The test launches sh3 as it says after install. But, I'm not finding a 'd3d9.cfg' to change my resolution..I run the app and its still in 1024x768 and I cannot locate this cfg file everyone is talking about...(I even did windows search files/folders and it turned up nothing). I have the sh3.sdb database file that I saved in sh3 root and that is it. I have no folder labeled "video" in sh3/data/cfg/. I cannot open folders with notepad only files so this instruction up above doesn't make sense. Can someone explain to me what I may be doing wrong?

[tommyk]

a zipfile with the d3d9.cfg you are searching?

[Tikigod]

I unzipped it and there is no cfg I open the file in text editor and its scrambled

Strange... OK, I extract it for you...

only the parts BETWEEN the '=' go into d3d9.cfg

where do I save it? in sh3 root?

[tommyk]

yes,

d3d9.cfg
d3d9.dll

go into the main-directory (where the sh3.exe is)

Here comes the readme from the zip

---------------------------------------------------------
·: DX9res v1.0 :·
---------------------------------------------------------

This DLL attempts to override the screen resolution set
by a Direct3D 9 program. To install, extract this archive
to the directory the program is installed to. Do NOT
install the DLL into any system directories.

Edit the cfg file for resolution and other settings.

Note that some games have copyprotection systems that
block this DLL from working, so if you want to use this
with such games you need to remove the protection first.
