According to the Chinon User's Guide, page 21, "The software games designed for
use with CyberShades require a screen resolution of 320x200. Use the video
software utilities that came with your computer card to set your screen
resolution to 320x200. Certain newer video cards are shipped with utilities that
set the resolution no lower than 640x480; they do not include settings for lower
resolutions. If your video utilities do not allow you to set your monitor to a
resolution of 320x200, please contact the manufacturer of your video card and
ask them to provide you with a utility that will allow you to set your monitor
to this lower resolution."

If you're using them at 640x480, then contact Chinon at once and let them know
how you're doing it, because they say it can't be done.
