1. For Windows 95/98 users, you'll need to copy over the CDSHOCK.exe file from the CDROM directory on the SS1 CD into your SS1 install folder. Then just drag-and-drop it onto the hires patch .exe
2. Override 640x400 instead!. SS1 relies on the 640x480 mapping for displaying cutscenes. If you re-map it to something like 800x600, the cutscenes will become much smaller and uncentred. There's really no use for 640x400, so use it for high-resolutions instead of 640x480; movies will look normal AND you'll be able to run the game at a high-reso

« on: 11. November 2005, 20:03:02 »This is ToxicFrog's High Resolution Patch as discussed here on TTLG.
It adds the following resolutions to System Shock: 800x600, 1024x768 & 1280x1024.
The file you'll want to download is ss1hr.exe.
Make sure your game executable (CDSHOCK.EXE) is not write protected.
Then in windows explorer drag CDSHOCK.EXE onto ss1hr.exe. Follow the onscreen advice.
Alternatively issue the following command in a DOS prompt:
If you're using Mouse2KV, you'll have to edit the cdshock.bat file to avoid issues with your mouse not being able to reach all corners of the screen. In cdshock.bat change "640 480" to the resolution you're going to be using with the patch.
Play with the mouse acceleration until it's a good speed for you.
If you are an owner of a nVIDIA GeForce4 your monitor might give you an "out of range" message, or shut off. In this case please download nVidiaGeForce4_winxpfix.exe, run it and reboot.
If you are running a pure DOS machine and cannot use the win32 binary (ss1hr.exe) there are prepatched versions of CDSHOCK.EXE available below. Backup your original and rename one of the prepatched executables to CDSHOCK.EXE.
The file ss1hr.c is the source code for the patch.
