For example: {Resolution=1680x1050x8} instead of: {Resolution=320x280x8}. Then change the FullPosition varible. Example: {FullPosition=0,0,1680,1050} instead of {FullPosition=0,0,640,480}. Note: If Cube Hopper becomes less than desired playability (ex: shuddering/tearing of screen), then the resolution will have to be lowered. May have to experiment to achieve desired performance/visual ratio.
