Unfortunately it doesn't work very well. But theres also a foreign one:

I was wondering if anyone knew where one could download the hack for the second high resolution starcraft. Its not very useful for melee, that is to say it wouldn't be legal to play this way so there is no point in using it, but it would be pretty cool to play UMS or watch replays using this.

Video not available, but just looking at the preview looks awesome! I saw their past versions and looks like they've made a lot of progress from the first versions. What kind of problems are in the hack though?

i managed to get this to work on vista. problem is it runs really slow and every action that i do lags by like 3 seconds which pretty much makes it unplayable. i wonder if there is some way to fix this, cause the actual huge resolution works great and it's fucking awesome.

seems what they are doing is that since the resolution is 4 times as big, the normal mouse click interface can't be used cause broodwar doesn't know where you are clicking. so the mouse they have in game doesn't click on broodwar, but all mouse movements are harvested by the program, and the program acts as an intermediary.

problem is, the program recording your mouseclicks takes a hella long time to pipe them into broodwar, which creates the lag. it seems like a typical mouse/keyboard logger thing.

Seeing Starcraft like this just makes me imagine how awesome SC II will be.

I could watch a replay at 1200x800 with no problems. But I tried a custom game vs a comp and it fucked up badly (Messed up colors and interface not responding, had to close Starcraft).

I don't think thats how it works at all. Mine works without lag on XP. its just a problem due to the constantly moving minimap and building placement. But playable still.

There are two videos up on YouTube like this but the guy had to stitch videos together, this would make it so much easier

sorry, starcraft 2 will not be very awesome, at least compared to BW.

Anyways, this is only good for obsing or watching replays.

I got it to work, it lags like hell though. =[
Maybe it's my processor. Not sure though, cause SC shouldn't take that much CPU to run, and a 3rd party program pushing it to 100% is kinda insane, or maybe I don't know what I'm talking about

See this is what I'm talking about. All the people complaining about the first one sucking. What we really need to do is find out where to get a copy of the second high resolution starcraft hack and see if that one is any better.

Whoever can read korean would be doing a great service to us all to help track down the program demonstrated in the second video.

The one that is dl-able works perfectly for me, but it is weird because on high res you can't see what is clicked on (as in when you click on the hatchery it doesn't say "Zerg Hatchery" at the bottom of the screen. Just kinda weird if you ask me, but other than that it is great
