Do please reply to Monolith's post (and while you're at it, re-read mine). Arguments like "It's cool we should have it" just don't cut the cake, really, and it's too bad only the skeptical side (and Evilmike with his well-written post being on his own side) seems to be posting well-written arguments that aren't made up of one (sometimes cryptic) line. This isn't just about "omg bigger resolution cooolllll" like some people seem to be arguing - higher resolutions have genuine effects on the gameplay, and if you're concerned about the game's playability and not just its GFX, it could be wise to spend some time to consider the gameplay side, and post a good argument against the skeptic side. It's hard to take most of the replies here seriously.

If you're just concerned about the GFX and don't care for the gameplay arguments, you're probably better off playing another game that looks better than an eight-year old game.

I would like to give Birdie's point some attention, too. I'm not sure how this utility would work, if it would just hack the JJ2 registry or if it would do certain things through gameplay. Either way, if you've got a tool that edits certain things only in certain modes/resolutions, it will probably - especially if it's a registry edit (just a matter of copying and pasting) - be not too hard to crack the utility to make it work under all modes. Send it to some friends and you're done. I hope it will be possible to create a resolution changer that works according to Evilmike's, Violet's and other people's suggestions, but I fear it won't. But I'm not Black Ninja.
