hex editing elma v1.2 (resolution fix)

[hex]

hello everybody.

im currently playing elma (ive downloaded upgrade from v1.0 to v1.2 very final), on my monitor of 2560*1600 resolution. the resolution i need is not present in ElmaConf12wide (maximum available is 1920*1200), so id need to put it higher.

ive downloaded hex editing programs, but i think id need a decompiler first to see where the resolution setting is located (in elma.exe). then i can hack the file by choosing my own resolution setting.

can you help me? i dont know in what language it is written, so im not even sure where to begin. thanks

that is a seriously fucking massive res.

i suggest maybe turning down your res to play elma?

maybe we could ask to mila to make some personalized resolution in Elma Online

Maybe make wr and share it for him first.. Then ask.

no. turning it down causes me headaches and unprecedented eye fatigue.

just play elma in 1920*1200, it's not like you have to use same res as in windows.

or with 1280x800. Should be good reso for elma with 1xzoom and then both of the numbers are half of the screen's native resolution so probably the pixels won't blur.

[hex]

oh yeah, that works! good idea, zebra.

i've also checked with other resolutions:
1280*800 (available) - normal-sized pixels
1440*900 (available) - normal-sized pixels
1680*1050 (available) - normal-sized pixels
1920*1200 (available) - normal-sized pixels
2560*1600 (twice 1280*800) - bloated pixels
3840*2400 (twice 1920*1200) - bloated pixels
5120*3200 (quad 1280*800) - excessively big pixels
7680*4800 (quad 1920*1200) - excessively big pixels

if someone ever learns to self edit, reply here and i'll be notified by email. thanks

You're crazy...

You're crazy...

I'd say stupid... Noone needs those.

I tried with 12000 x 8000 and sadly I couldn't see anything.

This makes me think about it: has someone ever plugged his comp on a 40"+ TV to play elma? With dolby surround and max big screen, must be insane headbanger experience.

Where the hell could you get a 12000x8000 pixel device?

There were some pic uploaded once of abula playing on a projecter, also there has been some playing on projecter at a few danish elma meetings.

I sometimes play on my 32'' TV.

playing on tv/projector results in bigger image, but not necessarily higher resolution.
normally, pixels are smaller on computer displays. e.g. playing valve portal on wuxga.

remember, svga was deemed enough for quite some time...

It was a joke, it was meant to increase my post count. Actually it was more to ask if someone had ever played on a TV.

[teajay]

I actually did, I have a picture of that somewhere. Looked fun indeed.
