SH2 Widescreen halp

Post by Aethryix »

Okay, so I wanna play SH2 PC in HD widescreen, but two problems:

-Squ1zZy's patch does not have my resolution (1600x900).
-I don't know how to edit the FOV alone in SH2.

I can hack the resolution with ArtMoney, but the only thing I need is to change the FOV somehow. What do I do?

To change the resolution you like you need a program called XVI32 (http://www.handshake.de/user/chmaas/del ... /xvi32.zip)
Run xvi32.exe and go to "File" then "Open" and find the "sh2pc.exe"
Go to "Search" then "Find" and tick "Hex String"
Type in "80020000E001" don't copy.
For 1600x900 resolution: replace "80 02" with "40 06"
then "E0 01" with "84 03"
To replace click on the numbers to be changed and type them in with the keyboard
go to "File" and "Save"
In game, under Advanced Options, set the resolution to "640x480" and it will run at 1600x900
If the game look stretched exit and rejoin.

EDIT: some screens

That actually helps me out, too. I just figured I would settle with 1280x720 but thanks! Does anyone happen to know if there is any permanent way to solve the multi-core issue? It gets annoying having to alt-tab to the task manager and select affinity every time.

For 1280x720 resolution, use this "00 05 d0 02"

And to permanently set 1 core you need this
http://www.robpol86.com/images/Imagecfg.zip
place it in system32 folder then open CMD
type this in imagecfg -a 0x1 ""
between the "" put your sh2pc.exe location for exemple:

imagecfg -a 0x1 "C:\Program Files\Konami\Silent Hill 2 - Directors Cut\sh2pc.exe"

Press Enter and you should see this:

C:\Program Files\Konami\Silent Hill 2 - Directors Cut\sh2pc.exe contains the fol
lowing configuration information:
Process Affinity Mask: 00000001
C:\Program Files\Konami\Silent Hill 2 - Directors Cut\sh2pc.exe contains a Subsy
stem Version of 4.0
C:\Program Files\Konami\Silent Hill 2 - Directors Cut\sh2pc.exe updated with the
following configuration information:
Process Affinity Mask: 00000001

Enjoy ;)
