			This is awessome! Hey , its possible hack the resolution of games like Resident Evil and tomb raider? You need only change the vdp1 resolution to 320 x 224 to 640 x 224

		paul_met		Oct 14, 2015
			For Resident Evil just will not work to increase the resolution. There are background images only 320x240. But for Tomb Raider maybe is possible. I have not tried.

			Yes i know the RE use low res on background but the main idea in this case is see how VDP1 will run a game like RE using high resolution see if the framerate will be nice or not. RE is a low poly game maybe can run with a nice framerate on 640x224 or 512x224.

			Saturn does not support 512 pixels for horizon resolution. It is useless. Here is how looks the image in resolution of 640x240 (single- and double-interlaces):

		luisoft		Oct 14, 2015
			NICE!!!!!!! Hey and the framerate? Slowdowns the game or same speed? Can you create a manual how to do this vdps hacks? I want to try it too . Tnx for the tests

		paul_met		Oct 16, 2015
			It is necessary to set a breakpoint on a memory write to address "0x5F80000" and look for the address where the value is written in charge of screen resolution. But before that, I advise you to check out the chapter "TV screen mode register" in manual of VDP2.

		vbt		Nov 8, 2015

			Looking Dead or Alive on yabuse the game run at 704x240 maybe using this resolution can fix the bug pallete in SFIII

		paul_met		Nov 26, 2015
			Norse by Norsewest (Lost Vikings 2) - resolution 352x240. The characters panel had to move down due to the fact that under it was constantly flickering garbage. In SSF hack does not work, alas.
