Graphics Settings
Resolution
0x0 is the resolution it is a byte. Its ordered in lowest resolution (640 x 480) to highest resolution of your monitor. This is probably the most simplest, but complex setting in this list.
Example: 0 = 640 x 480 1 = 800 x 600
and the rest of the values you'll have to pull from the monitor.

1 = 510 - 765
2 = 765 - 1020

Covers the rest of the file, but I'm personally not going to go though all 73 of them and see what saves and what doesn't. I know Draw Objects and things save but I'm ending my journey here.
