Over-riding Screen resolution?

[CapnScurvy]

On an XP Operating System follow the path "My Documents/SH4/data/cfg" folders to find the "main.cfg" file.

On a Vista OS (and anything newer) the path will be a little different. Open "YourComputersName/Documents/SH4/data/cfg". Opening the file "main.cfg" with Windows Notepad will allow you to change the resolution that the game uses.

Look for the [VIDEO] section, then "Resolution=". On my system, the default resolution is given as "Resolution=1024,768,60,22". The third value is the Refresh Rate, the 4th is the Color Depth. I don't know why its set to 22 and not 32, just leave it alone. "Save" your changes, and exit the file.

I found this option useful when I was messing around with a game resolution that my 32" TV couldn't recognize or render, yet the resolution was "offered" in the "Graphic Settings" of the game. I chose the resolution then exited to Windows, restarting with the new resolution. Upon restarting the screen went black. I had to either use "Task Manager" to get out of the game, or shut the computer down with a restart. Resetting the resolution of the game to the default 1024,768 parameter in the "main.cfg" file allowed the game to be displayed once again!
