1024x768 resolution on First Decade?

[HiDef 0]

Hi all, I am interested in buying the First Decade game pack particularly for the new WinXP compatibility with all those old, great games (I have the original disks for all but the first C&C game). I am interested to know if you can set the resolution to 1024x768 on games like Red Alert or Tiberian Sun. If it’s not possible to do this in the menus, is it possible to edit a file in the game’s directory to get this resolution? (I know you can do this with the original Tiberian Sun game, but it keeps crashing even with patch 2.03 and running sun.exe in Windows 98/ME compatibility mode). Thanks in advance for any help.

Also, will mods for TSun like Covert Ops II work with the First Decade version of TSun?

If they're MIX based, yes. And XCC Mod Launcher should work as well.

Otherwise, no.

 

RA and TD are limited to 640x480.

Modify sun.ini to change TibSun's resolution.

So all the original configuration files like sun.ini are still included in the First Decade? They haven't modified the original game's files too much? I just want to be certain that I can change the res in TSun in the First Decade.

Yeah, sun.ini and all of the normal files are there, shouldnt have too many problems.

Thanks, am ordering from fishpond.co.nz today. NZ$72 seems like a good price.

So Red Alert and Tiberian Dawn are definitely limited to 640x480? There is definitely no workarounds to get even 800x600 from these games? Would be great to have a higher res

Definately limited unfortunately. Just think, its far better than the DOS versions though

Ahh C&C and RA DOS in all of its 320 x 240 glory :lol:

 

Even if you found away to push the res up in C&C or RA it would look strange.

dude if u want high rez up to 1600x1200 just go to ur c&c 95 folder and in the text file called conquer.ini were it says rezalution=0 change that number to 1600x1200 and it should work fine. you can also change the sound bitrate to 32 bit by changing the number from 16 to 32.
