Didi you enable the mod using JSGME? Or did you just copy the files to the SH3 main directory?


Did you use Hsie's V16B1 patch before enabling the ARB Wide gui mod?

1. Change the Windows desktop resolution to 1024x768
2. Run SH3.exe to start the game
3. In the video setting menu, uncheck the full screen option
4. Save your game settings and exit the game
5. Return your Windows desktop resolution to its normal value
6. Re-run the game and it will appear in a 1024x768 window

I have the same problem, with different widescreen mods. They worked without problem before, on the same configuration.


My only tip is the graphics driver. What graphic card do you use?
