CrazyOldMan Posted August 25, 2002 Posted August 25, 2002 Is is possible to run EMI in a graphics resolution greater than 640x480? My card supports 1024x768 and I would LOVE to see the game in a higher resolution...can you please tell me how to do it if it is possible?
Jake Posted August 25, 2002 Posted August 25, 2002 Merc was trying to say two things there. First he was trying to say "my avatar is stupid and ugly," and second he was trying to say "the backgrounds in EMI were all rendered ahead of time at 640x480, so enlarging them to a higher resolution would do nothing but make them blurrier and uglier than they already are." I think that was what he was going for. Maybe something about me kicking ass.
Huz Posted August 25, 2002 Posted August 25, 2002 You can enable FSAA (Full Scene Anti-Aliasing) on your card, if it supports it, to give the impression of a higher resolution and make everything all smooth and pretty. Of course, I have no idea how you'd actually go about that. There used to be something about it on Mixnmojo, but it's probably gone now. Useful, eh?
Remi Posted August 25, 2002 Posted August 25, 2002 The newer nVidia driver actually enables it automatically. At least under XP they do.
Benny Posted August 25, 2002 Posted August 25, 2002 Depends on your card. Usually on one of the tabs in display properties>settings>advanced.
Gabez Posted August 25, 2002 Posted August 25, 2002 I hope Full Throttle II will be in a higher resolution. That said, when playing EMI I never felt that I was playing in 640*480 dimensions. I wonder why that was. It would also be super cool if someone could take screenshots of the different graphic modes.
benjoyce Posted August 26, 2002 Posted August 26, 2002 I have an nVidia TNT Pro 32MB video card, does that enable this FSAA method under XP, too. and if yes, which driver should I install.
scabb Posted August 26, 2002 Posted August 26, 2002 Benjoyce, there's no point. And I have the same card, and Im pretty sure it can't do FSAA anyway. If you need the latest drivers get the Detonator drivers from http://nvidia.com
CrazyOldMan Posted August 27, 2002 Author Posted August 27, 2002 I have an ATI Radeon...will that support FSAA?

That said, when playing EMI I never felt that I was playing in 640*480 dimensions. I wonder why that was. Well, all the newer games today (adventure) does have the resolution at 640*480. I wouldn't dream of a higher resolution, since that would only slow down the game. I liked the resolution, and if you have a small monitor - then get a bigger! I thought it was big enough for me.
Gabez Posted August 29, 2002 Posted August 29, 2002 It would be good if you could choose what resolution you wanted. Going up as high as 1024*768! It wouldn't alter speed too much, and I think it would make everything a lot sharper.
ivaj Posted September 2, 2002 Posted September 2, 2002 actually having a higher resolution does require more power, since the computer is drawing more pixels on screen at a single time. But you should be fine with a simple 16mb TNT2.
MeddlingMonk Posted September 2, 2002 Posted September 2, 2002 But TNTs don't do FSAA. You'd need at least a GeForce3 (in the Nvidia line) for that. Don't know about ATIs. Don't much care, either.
Remi Posted September 2, 2002 Posted September 2, 2002 Actually, a lot of nVidia cards can handle FSAA in software mode, which isn't amazingly great, but it works. GeForce2 and after does it in hardware mode.
Governor Phatt Posted September 3, 2002 Posted September 3, 2002 EEk! i Dont understand any of this Computer-Mumbo Jumbo... It makes my brain hurt... But i thought the EMI graphics looked ok...
