Cry some more!
Hello all;
I just got me a pretty 19" LCD widescreen monitor, and I'm reconfiguring all my games to work with it. Recent games usually support 1440x900 out of the box, or can be coaxed into doing it with a few tricks. There is a great site just about that, and it's ridiculously good.
The thing is, Wing Commander games are so old that they're not included. So I'm starting a thread in which we can debate a list solutions related to WC and widescreen.
I managed to set my nVidia card to stop scaling up the older games, and that avoids horizontal stretching. The problem is that A) that doesn't fix DOSBox and B) games ran outside it will be too small in the center of my screen.
What we need is some solution that scales up the image (in order to fill the monitor vertically) without changing the 4:3 aspect ratio. We also need the optimum DOSBox config to support that.
Anyone has a solution for those issues?
