EPTWondering if it was possible. It looks like that's what happened at 3:07 of this video. Anybody know how this shot was taken? I thought playing Starcraft at a higher resolution wasn't possible.

To answer your question, no, SC can't be played at any resolution other than it's standard tiny size. | ||

Doing it would involve pulling more map and sprite data from the RAM to the main screen. While 2D games don't quite work like 3D games, in that they don't have a camera so free movement around the place isn't possible, they do have the map data buffered in RAM, where the visible sections are taken from RAM and drawn on the screen. I imagine a 3rd-party tool to make it work would be similar to a maphack, but instead of changing visibility information, it changes how many pixels of the map are drawn at a time. TL;DR version: The data is all there, it is just a matter of drawing it to the screen. | ||

To answer your question, no, SC can't be played at any resolution other than it's standard tiny size. They can't, because it requires 4 different streams or so and really good synchronization of those 4 (or so streams). It'd be impossible to setup before the action is gone. | ||
