Sh3 will be one of the few titles I can see myself playing for a long time to come, and it would be disappointing if it would look bad on my shiny new monitor

I have a Samsung 226BW (22" 1680:1050 res). With an nvidia video card I run in perfect 4:3 ratio.

The trick is, and this only seems to work with nVidia cards, to change your nVidia driver's flat panel scaling setting to be "Use NVIDIA scaling with fixed aspect ratio". Easy. And works with all games (16:9 games stay 16:9, 4:3 games stay 4:3).

You do NOT need the resolution fix if doing this (a useless overhead IMHO).
