Spirit of Speed High Resolution Patches Available

For those who enjoyed Spirit of Speed 1937 but found the loss of mirrors at any resolution above 800x600 annoying, there are now two patches available that enable SoS to run, mirrors and all, at 1280x1024 or 1600x1200. (You have to choose which resolution you want. And once you've chosen, that's the ONLY resolution that will support the mirrors.)

In addition, the Mirror patches also reduce the traction of the cars and weaken the brakes, making the cars much less sticky. Also, the skid sounds have been reduced to make it possible to enjoy the extended slides.

The patches can be found HERE, in the SOS1600 and SOS1280 folders.

The patches are built to modify the ORIGINAL car files. So, copy the archives folder from your SoS CD to your hard drive. Copy the unmodified streamliner files into the new archives folder. Also, copy the Spirit of Speed.exe file into this new archives folder.

You can rename the archives folder in your Spirit of Speed folder or, if you want, just overwrite it by copying in the archives folder you've just built from your SoS CD.

Aim the appropriate patch at the Microprose/Spirit of Speed/archives folder and let it do its stuff.

The patch will ask you if you want to start the game. Don't do it from the patch. Close the patch and start SoS normally.

Remember to set the proper resolution in your NotTheRegistry.txt file.

Enjoy!
