Rubini's wide screen mod

[Reece]

Does anyone have any idea as to why this mod will only work on nvidia cards and not on ATI ?:hmmm: Especially since it is a mod to SH3 itself, seems odd that this should not work on any video card, thought it would have been more like a Direct X issue?:-? If we could get pats this obstacle I would like do some testing/modding!:doh:

As far as I can tell, the mod actually stretches the viewable 3d area offscreen (to the right), nvidia cards simply ommit the hidden part, thus showing the stretched remains that then have a different aspect ratio.

If the ATI card interprets the request to render offscreen differently with sh3 it simply wont work the same way :-?

Maybe if the d3d9.dll from the resolution fix would hack something for ATI cards to force the same behavior, but it wasnt made by any one in the subsim community if Im not mistaken :cry:

I don't know where that originated, I had similar thoughts!:hmmm:

:cool::cool: Hmm , what you're guys up to :cool::cool:Wish I could say something, but not at the moment, I have an ATI card so the mod is useless, but really it is no good unless it can go on either card!:-? I'm hoping someone may know what is going on and if it can be fixed, Blackjack may be correct, if so then it may not be fixable within SH3, however it might be possible to change the HiRes mod, but don't know who created it to question the person.:hmmm:

I think the d3d9.dll itself originated from Kegetys, it wasnt just for SH3 in the first place and can modify other games as well.

Im have a pretty basic NVIDIA card and was playing around with the Periscope ui, but it seems to make it work like the other views I would have to relocate all buttons from right to left, an insane task if I dont know which item is where in the menu_1024_768.ini, too much work without a list of gui items, by any chance is there any :06:

There was a menu_1034_768.ini tutorial, but don't know where, maybe someone can post, it might help.:hmmm:
BTW, welcome to Subsim!:yeah:
