Changing resolution in old games (4:3)

[aluigi]

Just a thread where you can share info about how selecting custom resolutions in (old) games that don't support them.

DethKarz:
open Data\dk.db with a hex editor and put the preferred X and Y resolution as 32bit at offset 0xa4.
For example for 1920x1440 (if you have a 2560x1440) monitor replace those 8 bytes with:
80 07 00 00 a0 05 00 00


Tread Marks
open regedit and select the Tread Marks entry in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Longbow Digital Arts, then set GLBWIDTH and GLBHEIGHT.
For example for 1920x1440 set GLBWIDTH to 0x00000780 (1920) and GLBHEIGHT to 0x000005a0 (1440).



Note about some 4:3 modes like 1920x1440: this specific mode may be not supported by your video card so remember to activate it with CRU and reboot:

Highly suggested to enable the "GPU up-scaling" and the option to "maintain aspect ratio" in your video card configuration.
