Widescreen Gaming Forum

OMG I DID IT!! I HACKED WIDESCREEN!!!

i'll post screens next..

but unforuantely, its the same widescreen like in demo, its chopped abit on the top and bottom, but u still see more horizontally.

i realize that this trick also works for pretty much every single game out there. its the same concept as universal hacking program, but except this allows u so that u can hack encrypted games.

how to do it (requires basic game memory hacking knowledge):

use Artmoney, or whatever memory poking program,

except for finding the value for money, find the value for the Y resolution (eg. find the "600" in 800x600, then change res to 1024x768, then search for 768".) u'll prolly get like 12 addresses, but change them all, to say 720, when ur X res is at 1280. now u have widescreen , tada!!!!!

however, since i'm still a newbie at this. people who know how to make DMA trainers (finding the breakpoints) can make a program to hack this custom reoslution so that u dont have to find + poke the value everytime u load the game

what would be EVEN better, to make games TRUE widescreen (no chopping) using this method is to be able to find the value for FOV. this is MUCH MUCH harder b/c games usually dont tell u what the FOV is, and in games like prince of persia, the FOV keeps changing when u change camera views (same in NFSMW).

But people like racer_s have done it, so its possible

good work chaps good work, now can someone show us n00bs about how to do it in more details? or even better host the reg files or something?

go to that post here, and post like crazy.
once a day if you can, even if it's just to say 2 words about enabling widescreen.

the Quickest Way to be ignored is to do nothing

Actually, it DOES work. A bit cumbersome but great, except for the streched UI.

Sorry for the low quality setup in which I play but I have only a GF4600 with my 2005FPW. This is still really playable.

The same with full settings (I mean the max for a GF4600... half the settings like FSAA and shadows are not availables).

But with those settings, I'm around 5FPS :P, while with previous settings I was around 30FPS, and 45FPS in 1024x768. Setting even lower quality does not improve FPS.

Pics broke dude.

Other than that im guessing the file you want to look for the res #'s in is the .exe correct?

First off, props for fuc847 for even getting a widescreen resolution.

Although, the instructions aren't very clear. I'm sure we would all love it if you wrote a quick, snappy article that gets the job done.

Im just trying to be funny, not meanin to be a dorksack and post something stupid. But the pics arent workin for us so im guessing he posted them somewhere he can see them and we cant. (login kinda place)

Though i would like to know a little more details on what to hack here. Id love to play through the remaining 45% with widescreen.
