Questions & How To's

I really don't think the ReShade program will work with SoRR. I have found something that will change the colors a bit for those who are interested. It only works for Windows10. If you can see in this link just follow the settings at the bottom. It says "Improving colours on a Dell Inspiron" but i think it could work on any computer.

How can I edit SORR texts and graphics, in order to translate it to brazilian portuguese? I heard that it's possible to edit graphics through Smart FPG Editor, but does it edit both graphics and texts from story?

There's a Russian version available of the game. If you're interested, I could give it to you

Wow, that's nice. Can you send it to me?

Look here, its full of Russian goodies

On the bottom of the list I think it has the files to make SoRR into Russian. So if you just edit those files you might make a full conversion

I've never heard of a 640 x 288 resolution screen. Sounds like a strange choice to run arcade games on as the CRTs that ran arcade games were normally 4:3 resolution as in 320 x 240 or 640 x 480. Some hardware actually was designed around screen stretch and had non square pixels. For instance, Capcom's CPS-2 hardware ran at 384×224, stretched to 4:3 aspect.

The game natively runs at 320 x 240 and can be upscaled in the video options by 2X to 640 x 480, but 640 x 288 would require cutting off 192 pixels on the top and bottom of the screen, or running it at 320 x 240 without upscaling and not having it fill the entire screen... You might have success running SoRR windowed at 640 x 480 and then using something like Sizer (http://www.brianapps.net/sizer/) or ResizeEnable (http://www.digitallis.co.uk/pc/ResizeEnable/) to forcibly gain control of resizing and squeeze it down to 640 x 288, but it'll frankly look awful.

The problem here is your arcade cabinet should have a 4:3 aspect ratio screen. That is the aspect ratio the game was designed around, and anything you do to squeeze it into a non-standard ratio is going to require compromises in the visual quality.

Hi All,

Not really a question, but I thought I'd bring this to the mods attention.

in this thread...

https://sorr.forumotion.net/t27-downloads-streets-of-rage-remake-v5-1-ports-and-soundtrack

the following link...

http://theisozone.com/downloads/xbox/homebrew-games/xstreets-of-rage-remake-v5-final-homebrew-port-for-xbox/

...doesn't work given theisozone.com shutting down

Also for the xbox homebrew port does it need to be updated to v5.1?

I don't have either and was wanting to put on my modded/homebrew original xbox.

If these could be updated that would be great.

Now I have to work out how to add sorr 5.1 to work on my xbox...

Just an update...

I managed to get it (SORRv5) and add the update (xSorRv5 Update1) and get it working with my modded original xbox.

Not sure if it is v5.0 or v5.1 after the update, but I did get a save that has the game 100% unlocked and works fine on my Widescreen CRT TV.

Let me know if anyone needs any links to do the above, I will gladly post them.

Cheers

LMAO!!

Aye, Ive been using Sorr for Xbox360 for a while now, and updated as you mentioned. Also with the edited save file. Im not able to save state though. If you need help running SorMaker Mods just let me know

ok will do, thanks!

Is there a way to control the amount of scanlines? Default is too much. I want to use something like 25%-30% scanline. Also is there a way to preserve 4:3 ratio when switching to fullscreen? The image gets stretched a bit too much. I couldn't find any ini or cfg file for settings either.

BTW I'm new here. Hi.

Maybe your intel graphics settings will allow you to maintain aspect ratio. And for scanlines I think there is no way to increase or decrease those

Why would you want to make SoRR into Russian?
Genuine question.

Genuine question.

Perhaps because a large numbers of SORR players are actually Russian?

I don't think you understood the question.
Besides, I wasn't even asking you. In fact, your answer comes across like a bit of a twatty answer.

Would the best pause delay for optimal gameplay be SoR2, SoR3, Remake, Or Combined? If using combined, would SoR 2 and 1 Characters be able to keep up with SoR 3 Characters?

Also, when using combined. What pause delay do SoR 1 characters use. Since there is no SoR 1 Pause Delay Option?

Hello, how do I get started with SORMaker? Are there any tutorials for people who are day one newbies?

Hello. I'm not sure if still being visited, but will ask anyway.

Recently, my SORR game changed its fullscreen resolution for no reason. I have a 16:9 laptop, but game always launched in a 4:3 format with 800x600 resolution. Which I believe is the expected behavior, since I read here the game doesn't have widescreen support.

But now it is showing fullscreen, and image look bad, like it was stretched to the sides.

Just a side note: some time I ago I installed Steam for other game. But it didn't affect SORR...

Does anybody had this issue, and know how to fix it?

Thanks.

First try launching SORR through Steam, it worked for me when I was having a problem with some games.

Second if the first option does not work right click the SORR EXE, then go to properties, then compatibility tab, then go to change high DPI settings, in there tick both boxes and apply but make sure that both option are on signed into windows top one and the bottom one is on application.

Where can I find the SOR Remake update for my Xbox 360? And how do I run mods on the Xbox 360? I will be glad if anyone share the update

Thanks for the information. But it is still strange... Somehow, one day it got back to normal, even before trying to run it from Steam. Now, it is back again to a full screen wide format. I'm starting to feel that installing Steam messed it up, although there were no changes in my computer in the meantime.

Before trying to run it through Steam (I'm think about uninstalling it), I tried to follow the other suggestion, but couldn't find the exact info you said. I'm running Windows 7, and in the Compatibility tab there is not a High DPI Settings as you mentioned. There is a tick box mentioning High DPI, but even activating it there is no change...

Any other hint?

I remember long time ago, a patch was released and made some bosses reeeally hard, Abadede and Shiva. Abadede was somewhat doable but Shiva was just unfair and frustrating, impossible not to lose continues. I remember the people at the forums complaining a lot about this, I think it was the 5.0b version. Before that I was able to beat the game at Mania, but after the patch it was impossible for me.

My question is: is this fixed in the 5.1 version? Or is there a mod/file/fix for this? I really want to play again at Mania.
