Display Resolution

As installed, SH3 doesn't offer you a choice for a display resolution setting. The game fixes it at 1024 x 768.
To override this limitation, SH3 modmaker Kegetys has developed a DLL file that permits greater display resolutions when playing SH3. Kegetys' SH3 Resolution Override DLL can be downloaded from one of the following links:

Make sure you read the enclosed instructions to customize the DLL's configuration file, d3d9.cfg.

For Windows XP SP2 users:
We're not finished yet. In order to get Kegetys' DLL to work, you'll also need to install Microsoft's Windows Application Compatibility Toolkit (http://www.microsoft.com/technet/pro...y/default.mspx) and perform the following procedure to customize it for SH3:

On Windows' Start menu, select "All Programs/Microsoft Application Compatibility Toolkit 4.0/Tools" and run the Compatibility Administrator.

When the program opens, make sure "New Database" is highlighted under "Custom Databases", and click the "Fix" button.

In the "Name of program to be fixed" box, type "SH3". Now, click the browse button, and select the sh3.exe in your SH3 install directory. Then click on the "Next" button.

Under "Operating System Modes" select "None" and click the "Next" button.

In the "Compatibility Fixes" box, check DelayDLLInit, and click the "Parameters" button.

In the "Command Line" box, type "d3d9.dll" and click "OK". (You can click the "Test Run" button to make sure it is working). Click the "Next" button.

Click on the "Finish" button. Then click the "Save" button, name it "SH3", and click OK.

On the "File" menu, select "Install".

Close the Compatibilty Administrator.

Enjoy SH3 in high display resolution.
