is there true NFSU2 1680x1050 support?

Depends on what you mean by 'true' support. It's not supported natively, but it appears there are ways to make it work.

Here's what I turned up with the search function.

Multi-Game Widescreen Fixer

Yes, MotoGP '07 supports widescreen natively.

Patch the game with the official patch. You can do it without the patch as well, but the method is slightly different than listed below, and I only played it once before patching so I can't outline the 'unpatched' method.

Splinter Cell: Detailed Report

Point taken. I'm still playing the game, I had almost forgotten how good it is. I'll nab some more screens at the correct FOV and fix this report up over the weekend probably.

Splinter Cell: Detailed Report

Yes, I would agree that the keypad misalignment is a major flaw, They're all over the place in the game.

You're right about the cut-scene, it should say FOV=86, not FOV=75. Fixed it. I put in higher numbers for the screens to better demonstrate the change made, but listed the correct numbers in ...

Splinter Cell: Detailed Report

No widescreen resolutions were natively supported. Only 4:3 and 5:4 were selectable from the game menu. The .ini resolution hack is required for widescreen, but the FOV setting only changes cut-scenes. I also found this to be very odd, but tested it extensively with consistent results. Nothing I did ...

Test Drive Unlimited: Detailed Report

Ouch, my bad, I can't believe I didn't notice the menus were anamorphic :oops:

I've edited the report to include the corrections and grading information. Thank you :)

Might you explain the grading rubrick to me via PM so I can try and grade the next one?

Splinter Cell: Double Agent - Cannot get widescreen.

Yes, painstakingly. I finally found a config file that allowed me to set the resolution, but it doesn't correctly address the FOV. The file I had to edit was not listed in the solution or in the DR, it was found in a separate location all together (detailed in my post). Nothing I changed in the ...

Splinter Cell: Double Agent - Cannot get widescreen.

I have a 22" widescreen, 1680x1050 native (16:10). I have tried the custom resolution hack in the confirmed solutions section. No joy. I've also tried editing every single resolution that I could find in all the .ini files found in the Offline folder with no better results.

Double Agent is ...
