Higher Resolution in FF8

(1/23) > >>

Alhexx:
Is it possible to increase FF8's screen resolution via hacking some files (perhaps FF8.exe) ? If anyone knows, please let me know,too :wink:

I've had questions about that too :wink:

Jari's right: You'd need a DirectX layer that filtered calls through, translating them into a higher res.

It'd be a LOT of work for (possibly) no end result, so nobody's taken it on yet...

Goku7:
I'm not a graphic programmer, so this is a shot in the dark:

What about updating the midi config ver. 2 program to allow for higher resolution, then adding a simple resolution scale code in the .exe that came with it?

Would that work, or am I just restating the obvious??

ficedula:
No, it wouldn't work ... not that easily.

The midi program filters DirectMusic calls ... they're totally separate to DirectDraw/Direct3D so it doesn't give you any head start whatsoever using the music configurator.

You'd need to do the same SORT of thing, but to DDraw ... except DDraw is far, far bigger than DMusic, so it's a lot of work ... plus it might not even work, since DDraw is pretty sensitive to hacks.
