Good Morning all,

Has anyone figured out how to get Midtown Madness to allow more than
640X480 resolution when using a TNT or TNT2 card?

I have checked everything I can think of, including the read-me, but it
doesn't address this specific issue.

The Video troubleshooting section in the readme is extensive (that's
scary to begin with).

When a MICROSOFT game can't handle DirectX properly, where are we
headed?

Thanks for any assistance!

-Larry

Copy and replace this text in your VIDEO.CFG file located in the game directory.
I've replaced all the 320 resolutions with the 3 standard hi-re modes.  My
Viper770 AGP Ultra plays the game at 1600x1200 at full detail and shadows and
it's smooth as silk.

Backup your old file first just in case we don't have the same cards.

Simply copying this to the video.cfg will not work because the carriage
return are missing (they show up as back boxes in standard ASCII). You need
to copy those black boxes (from opening up your video.cfg using Notepad)
after every line because the formatting in WordPad or MSWord isn't accepted
by Midtown Madness.
