However, after I added multithreading to the image processing stage, the process takes around half a second on my PC (1st gen Ryzen 5 at stock speeds). Patching the EXE and resizing images: During the testing phase, this took around 3 seconds.The program finishes pretty much right after clinking the button. Patching just the EXE without resizing any images: Instantaneous.I would like to add support for more versions but to do so, I need to know where I can find them. Currently, only the GOG, and English CD versions published by both Sierra and Sold Out are supported.

I have placed the source code under a Modified BSD 4-Clause license and you can find it on GitHubп»ї. Is this open source? What language did you use? The second is for an optional increase to the maximum number of sprites that can exist on a game's map at once to 2x the original limit.ДЇinally, this program can also automatically resize the game's background images to fit the new resolution. The first is a fix for the inability to switch the game into windowed mode if you have customised the game's resolution. You can optionally apply two additional patches to the game as well. In short, this utility will give you a modified copy of Emperor's EXE that will run at the resolution you specified and which has all of the fixes that are present in the last EXEs Jack released. Once done, it will create a modified copy of that EXE that you can drop into the location you installed the game.

To do this, this resolution customiser needs an unmodified copy of the game's EXE. It also resizes various elements of the game's UI to fit the new resolution. It does so by modifying the 1024x768 option so that it will instead run the game at the resolution you specified. This program gives you the ability to change what resolution the game runs at. With this guide, it was now easier for people to create their own fixes.ДЄnd that is where this project comes in.

This meant that his fixes as they stand have varying levels of quality and some resolution options simply never had fixes created.ДЄ small area of progress here came from another Widescreen Gaming Forum member named Mario who, on the 4th of September, 2018, uploaded his own modifications for Zeus and Emperor that came with a guide describing how he created his fixes.

Another thing that can be seen is that he became better at modifying the resolutions over time, ultimately adding some fixes to the UI in his latest mods that weren't present in earlier versions. While a massive improvement over the default options, the main issue was that Jack was for the most part the only one making these fixes and any resolution not already available had to be requested. From there, he went on to upload a number of packs and fixes containing edits for all 4 of the Impressions Studios' 2D City Building strategy games to run on a number of common resolutions and whatever resolutions users requested. This started to change on the 5th of February, 2012 when a Widescreen Gaming Forum member named JackFuste uploaded copies of Pharaoh's EXE that he had modified to run on a few widescreen resolutions. The switch to LCD further caused issues due to their blurring images that run outside their native resolutions, as well as the adoption of widescreen aspect ratios meaning that 4:3 resolutions are stretched and distorted.

Though this was manageable at the time due to these being the most common resolutions used then, screens have since gotten bigger and denser. By default, Emperor only allow you to choose between two resolutions: 800ењ†x768. This is especially required for LCD monitors in that running a game outside it's native resolution creates a blurry image. With the wide variety of screen sizes and resolutions available, it is important for a game to be able to give the player options.
