Try this link for changing resolution http://www.communitymanuals.com/shii...lay_Resolution and for AA/AF You may use Riva Tuner for better settings then nVidia control panel.

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.

I just installed the above method to increase my resolution to 1600 x 1200 and it works great! However, it seems to have changed and degraded the screenshot function. Any ideas?

Yeah the normal print screen will give you a 1024x1024 picture of the center of the screen. Just press the print screen button for tga screenies

The only thing that annoys me about this mod is that you can't alt-tab... and this has caused me to stop using it time and time again because it's just inconvenient. I just crank up AF and AA instead. Though I'll give it another shot when my new graphics card arrives.
