I have a Crt 17" monitor , and it works very well, but in the future i will buy a new Lcd, and the crt could be impossible to find.

Redwine don´t buy two computers, buy two Lcd monitors ...:rotfl: are small and easy to hide, or is possible put it on the wall like a picture.
You dont know another of my problems.... i am tired to fight with my kid for the computer !! :rotfl:

As Jaxa mentioned, you can download it from Terrapin web site....

Extrange, Crtl + F11 must take the screen into the SH3 main folder, may be you have a mod wich had changed the keyboard map ?

Be ware with Shift + F11, it take a continuous screen shots as a machinegun....

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.

Motion blur and ghosting are completely different things. You are referring to motion blur. Ghosting is impossible if you are using DVI.

I've posted more extensively about LCDs elsewhere but for now I'll repeat:

1. For applications like that avoid any 6-bit LCD monitor like the plague as they cannot show the full colour spectrum. They use dithering to try to compensate but that sacrifices sharpness.

2. Don't trust any manufacturer's claimed contrast ratio. They lie. Only trust quality independant reviews.

I did it exactly as you described, but with no results.:hmm:
I can't check it now, because I must do GWX beta tests without any modifications of the game.
