Hello everybody..

Been playing Settlers 1 for some time now (after Settlers 5 was a bit less fun)

Game works great, but I prefer to play it in window mode..

Now I want the window to be bigger.. Any way to do this ? Scale the window to 1024*768 ? (I tried advmame2x and advmame3x options... but that seems to work in full screen ? It does seem to work when I load up the game, when it's in low res mode, but as soon as I switch to SVGA mode it's not bigger..)

Thanks, but that's full screen, But I want it in a window..

I've got a 3 monitor setup, I want to be able to play it whilst still being able to watch my email or whatever else is running. Full screen "disables the other 2 screens (no more desktop..)..

Is allready set for 1024*768, but it looks like it's for full screen as well..

Try the hwscale parameter. But this will only work with hw accelerated modes (overlay, ddraw...).
