Widescreen mod
_Zac_:
I don't know how to do it or if it's even possible and that's what I'm here to find out.
I'm thinking of making (requesting someone else to make) a widescreen mod so Touhou looks good fullscreen on widescreen moniters.
I think it would be easy to do by keeping the ratio of the playing area the same but making the border where the score and stats are bigger to keep with the ratio of the moniter.
Drake:
No, you would have to alter a hell of a lot in the code to be able to stretch the sides.

Do you not have fixed aspect-ratio scaling? Or are you just trying to put more of your screen area to use?

How about altering the main ratio to 16:9 and redrawing the sides to fit that without changing the playing area? Like instead of 640x480 make the game 853x480 without changing the playing area and redrawing the other area.
So the screen will be drawn like this: http://s958.photobucket.com/albums/ae68/z121231211/?action=view¤t=th853x480.jpg
Or is that still too much work?

Since my screen is a different aspect ratio than the game, it wouldn't look as good.
Drake:
It's the fact that you actually have to edit the window in so it's always there. Changing the graphic and plopping it back in is easy, but the game is still constantly stuck on the same window.
