Borderless window for SH4?

treblesum81 · 06-09-15, 04:11 PM

So I'm returning to SH4 after three years away. In the intervening time, I've gone from one screen to three and have gotten very used to gaming on one monitor and using the others for reference and/or watching netflix. I'm looking for a way to get SH4 to run in a borderless window (or even just a screen resolution window) so I can retain the ability to easily task switch without my SH4 completely disappearing or being forced to play in a window much smaller than screen resolution. Is this at all possible?

Thanks.

I don't have a solution but I will bump your thread. I've tried everything and I could never get it to work.

Check windowed mode and lower your resolution a notch.

Yes, I know this trick, but this isn't full screen windowed... On my monitor, I have to reduce the window size all the way down to 1884x1060 to preserve the aspect ratio while not letting it bump into full screen with the edge cut off. This leaves a very noticeable empty space around the edge of the window that I would really love to be rid of.

I have the solution for you

Go to Documents\SH4\data\cfg and open the main cfg file.

In there find

[VIDEO]
Resolution=1920,1050,60,22
DynamicShadows=No
FullScreen=No
Synchronized=No
TextureResolutionHigh=Yes

I have a native resolution of 1920x1080
I changed it to 1920x1050 i have a small border at the top of my screen and that's it. You change it to whatever you like just make sure the option fullscreen is also set at no.

Hope this helps
