About This Project

The following project is a Reloaded II Mod Loader mod that provides a set of essential features for running Sonic Heroes in 2019, mainly in the graphics department.

Features

Widescreen & Tallscreen Support

Normally Sonic Heroes only allows you to use a few hardcoded resolutions, all constrained to the 4:3 aspect ratio. Graphics Essentials meanwhile allows you to use both play the game in wide and tall screen modes.

Fast Stage Load Times

Enabled by default

Normally the game has to wait until the titlecards finish playing to allow you to start the level. Graphics Essentials allows you to bypass that wait.

Other Features

• Uncapping 2P Framerate: 2P is no longer limited to 30FPS!
• Custom Window Styles: Resizable & Borderless Windows
• High Aspect Ratio Crashfix: Normally when running on very wide resolutions such as 5760x1080, the game would crash when loading a stage. Not anymore.
• Complete Launcher Replacement: The configuration file for this mod replaces the game's settings file completely.

How to Use

A. Install Reloaded mods as usual. (Extract to mod directory)

B. Enable mod and run the game. (This auto-generates the config files)

C. Adjust configuration. (If necessary).
