Increase Rendering Resolution

Use nGlide
  1. Download the South Park Glide patch from here.
  2. Extract the contents of southpark_patch.zip (southpark3.sdb, PatchUninstall.bat, and PatchInstall.bat) to <path-to-game>, where SouthPark.exe resides.
  3. Rename SouthPark.exe to SouthPark3.exe.
  4. Double click PatchInstall.bat* to install the patch.
  5. Install nGlide.
  6. Run nGlide from the Start screen/Start menu and change the resolution and other settings.
  7. When starting the game up, choose 3Dfx Custom Driver (Recommended) from the Select Video Driver pop-up.
Set aspect ratio to 4:3 for a letterboxed output or to fit to screen to stretch from 4:3.
*On Windows 10, PatchInstall.bat might fail to patch SouthPark.exe properly, leaving the game unplayable. To fix this, right click PatchInstall.bat and select Edit, then change sdbinst.exe -q "%CD%\southpark3.sdb" to sdbinst.exe -p "%CD%\southpark3.sdb".

Adjust Field of View

Adjust FoV
  1. Go to <path-to-game>, where SouthPark.exe resides.
  2. Open SouthPark.exe (or SouthPark3.exe if you've used the above nGlide patch) in a hex editor, e.g. HxD.
