Fixed-aspect ratio scaling is what's needed; I use a widescreen, too, and wouldn't mind at all if there were black bars down the sides, rather than a lame extension of the background. Is there a way to have it scale properly? |
| Drake:
Oh, do any of you care whether or not you can see your desktop or whatever? You can use either Sizer or the VSync patch to scale the window. Just take the height of your resolution and multiply by 1.333etc for the width. |

It would be interesting if we could change the screen in widescreen monitors. When games are fullscreen only, I'm stuck with stretched graphics, and they might look bad sometimes (like in Kioh Gyoku) while for some other games the problem is minimal. |

The reason I asked about fixed aspect-ratio scaling is because it's the best solution to running fullscreen apps designed for a 4:3 aspect ratio on a widescreen display, assuming you don't mind the black bars on the screen edges. Unfortunately, a lot of widescreen displays are stupid and won't do this sort of scaling; they'll just blindly stretch the image to cover the whole screen. However, your graphics driver may have an option to do this scaling itself; check the display section of its control panel. For example, I know NVIDIA drivers have this ability, since I use it with my laptop's 1280x800 display. The driver simply uses the GPU's scaling hardware to do this, so there's little or no performance cost. |
