Widescreen Gaming Forum

Just to update everyone on my WideScreen URU.

Unfortunately I have decided not to run the game in widescreen format, as I have tried the patch for URU that was posted in this forum and the image is definitely stretched and looks a little weird to me.

I have added the custom resolution of 960x600, which is a standard 16:10 ratio on my WSXGA+ screen which supports native res of 1680x1050.

When I set that res, then I get this weird thing where I can scroll left and right when I move the mouse to the side of the screens. You know, when you've ...

There could be a hack for realMyst as that's a ...

Thank you so much for this post.

I have been looking for a hack or something for Uru.

I will be getting my new laptop in July and wanted to play Uru on it, but the laptop has a 17" widescreen LCD supporting 1680x1050, and I didn't want the black bars on the left and right hand side.
