Another widescreen newbie with problems

@ SUBLYNX

THX mate, i got Infinite screen but i can' get it to work properly. I do it as shown in the video, and i get somewhat like a bigger window, but it's not filled with the game. It just a white frame but the game content stays in it at it's old size, connected to the upper left corner. The rest of the frame is filled with whatever content i was looking at before, it looks like a seethrough-effect. So i have the game in the upper left corner at its old size, and two rectangulars, one at the bottom and one on the right side, all inside that white "frame" that seems to show me the new window size. It gives me a new, bigger window but it does not fill it with the game. I tried to make a screenshot of this but all i get out is pure black for some reason i do not know...

Any idea what may be the problem? (Besides my stupidity)

Oh man that is strange... Never seen the program do something like that. What does it do if you try to make another non- SH3 window bigger?

edit: for screenshots use alt+printscrn key combination. The old SH3 way does not work with InfiniteScreen screenshots.

Do you have InfiniteScreen's window size at "infinite"?

@ SUBLYNX

Yes, "infinite" is activated. I tried it with another old game: "The shells of fury" . The window allows me to make it bigger in height, and fills up the window with the game. But if do this for width, the window refuses and jumps back to its original size. Strange things happen here..

I get that "jumping back" too, with Microsoft Excel, but not with SH3

Here's my d3d9.ini file. I've been using InfiniteScreen for so long that I can't remember anymore what was the situation with this file back then.

[GLOBAL]
DebugLog=false

[ENGINE]
DisplayWidth=1366
DisplayHeight=768
Refreshrate=false

[LOADSCREENS]
tx=0.01635
ty=0.0
sx=0.0
sy=0.00
maxscale=true

[EFFECTS]
Ocean=false

Are your DisplayWidth and DisplayHeight set to the size you want to use?

errrr....whats that d3d9 file about and where do i find it ? And what do i have to do with it ?

Oh my, my bad. That's the 1st question I should have asked.

Every widescreen solution needs a d3d9.ini and a d3d9.dll file.
