Key points
- Gameplay locked to 30 FPS, cutscenes locked to 15 FPS. Requires mod to change cutscenes to 30FPS.
- Max resolution locked to 1280x960. Requires modding to increase to widescreen 1920x1080 or 1920x1200. FMVs are stretched, though there are not a lot of FMVs in the game anyway.
- Only supports Dinput for controllers and default bindings are awkward. Controls should be adjusted. No true analog support.
- It is highly recommended to adjust the default brightness and contrast. Brightness = 4, Contrast = 8, all gamma 1.0 looks fine.
- Shadows looks poor in many cutscenes and the player may want to disable them in the options.

Cheat Engine. Note the two ticked red checkboxes in the bottom left which freeze the FOV values.
- Do NOT download any of the attachments at WSFG (sh4resolution.7z, SH4FOV.rar, SH4FOV euro version.rar). It is possible that they may not actually work (specifically sh4resolution.7z) and contain viruses.[1][2] Even if they do not contain viruses, these attachments are inferior to Nemesis' Wrapper, sh4tool and the Cheat Engine/ArtMoney method.
