This is manual changes that you have to make to these 3 file's in your own game using something like word pad then save start up the game and you are good to go.

I'll give this a try with the ATI card. Report back later



Ok, I made a few minor changes as most of what was there was the same as you posted. No frame gain noticed. Anyway, I forgot about the minidump deal and change all those to no.

Are you sure it helps to alter those CFGs in the main game folder? Just asking, because main.cfg and GFXSettings.cfg also exist in My Documents/SH4, which has traditionally been the place to do it. Also, all my gfx settings are as they should be in the My Documents/SH4/Data/main.cfg, while the one located with the main game has none of them.

I'm thinking the same because the cfg files in the gamefolder is the default settings, while the cfg files in the documentsfolder is the ones being used by the player.

Honestly, I believe this is correct and this is how the game engine sees it to. If you were to select "default settings" in the options screen, the game would read the cfg's in the SH4 folder to make the default selections.

That's how it appears to me, anyway.

The only real visible effects actually occur when the cfg's in the C:/My documents/ folder are changed. There has to be 2 cfg's; one for the players choices, and one for the game to know what the defaults are.
