This program modifies "falloutw.exe" in memory for the purposes of increasing the visual resolution. It was compiled with "Visual C++ 6.0 -sp6" and should work on most versions of Windows.
Currently Supported versions of the "Falloutw.exe" are:
US 1.1. The EXE used in TeamX's English 1.2 (this executable is the same used in their fallout 1.3.4 patch) . The EXE used in the Fallout Restoration Mod by Wasteland Ghost/TeamX. Polish 1.2/TeamX. Fallout Collection (PC DVD) WHITE LABEL 1.2. Some other versions will also work but will be recognised as one of the versions listed above.
