Thanks buddy :)
thanks for this!
That's just to much work to get the game to fit your res.
I wish someone would make a program that auto tunes old games to fit your display res.
Too much work, really? Not at all, it takes like 2 minutes.
The UltraHigh setting has to be changed before every game. Even selecting Read Only doesn't work. Each time you play the game it turns off Read Only and changes the second set of TextureDetail and SkinDetail back to High.
