Solutions & Issues
Widescreen Solution & Issues:

Use the Aleph One port Widescreen resolutions are listed natively in-game or can be set manually in Marathon Preferences located in %LOCALAPPDATA%\AlephOne (this file is made after running the game once). Everything has the correct proportions for all aspect ratios.

For a Hor+ field of view do the following:

  1. Go to Scripts in the installation folder.
  2. Make a new file called FOV.mml
  3. Add this line:
  4. Replace 120 with whatever FOV you want.

Extra and tunnel are FOV settings used for the extravision power-up and the tunnel-vision mode; extra should be higher than your normal FOV while tunnel should be lower.
