Widescreen Gaming Forum

Hi everybody, I'm french and I'm experiencing HTPC on my Pioneer 435 FDE plasma television.

My plasma television only have a hdmi input which only allows 720p or 1080i as HDTV resolution.

I have a radeon 9800 pro with the catalyst 5.6 and my resolution in DVI on my plasma TV is 1216x684 @ 60Hz (the driver allows to have personalized resolution compatible with 720p in order not to have extra zones out out of the screen).

I tried yesterday for the first time the UniWS patcher for NFSU2 @ resolution of 1280x720 and it doesn't work on my plasma tv ?
The program failed to lauch with an error code ?

It does work on my 19" CRT screen in VGA mode and in 1280x720 resolution.

It comes from my plasma tv (and maybe the catalyst 5.6).

Do you have any idea ?

thanks and sorry for my english...

Does anyone have a version of patches.ini that works for either the Simcity 4 rush hour or the deluxe edition? The patches.ini posted here only works for the original simcity 4. I am trying to get UniWS to work in 1680x1050 resolution for those two newer versions of simcity 4.

Thanks guys

I am also looking for a patcher or CFG file to use widescreen for SimCity Deluxe so if anyone one is working on one please let us know as I would be happy to test!

[quote][quote]can anyone suggest a way to put Pro Evolution Soccer 4 in 16:10 resolutions? :wink:

seconded.

....and third'd

...and fourthed (?). No really, please.

Fifth'd.

I've played a ton of games, but have never seen a game that could benefit from widescreen more than Pro Evo 4/WE8

After patching Need for speed underground 1, to 1280x800 (16:10) screen is a little to high (my car is 10 pixels higher in 1280x800 16:10-laptop than 1280x960 4x3-CRT). I maked the precise comparison in photoshop. :?

Here is a config I made for 1680x1050:

I can make others if you request a specific resolution.

Hello,

mjrpes, can you make 1920x1200 for simcity 4 deluxe edition for me? thanks.

Any game or just Sim City ? .... :shock: :D

Wow, it's been a while. Sorry for the wait.

I wasn't able to test it, so please post back if it does/doesn't work.

If Wogg gets a few minutes (or mjrpes or whoever), I have an idea. Rather than constantly having to update this program (which sounds cool, I haven't used it), how about a nice tutorial on hex editing for resolution?

Teach a man to fish and whatnot.

I know with one game, I think it was Vampire Bloodlines, someone had made a patch that didn't work for me, but had typed out how they had hacked it. I reversed engineered the hack and was able to hex edit the relevant .dll file myself.

Anyway, I think this could help the community really expand the heck out of this utility.
