Re: ResHex: Resolution to Hex Calculator

FYI I just got the same warning in IE. No warning in FF.

Thanks for the response! I've tested it in all three major browsers now, and I haven't had the problem anymore.

Little while since I've been around, but I've been pretty busy over the past month at work, logging a lot of hours at the end ...

Re: ResHex: Resolution to Hex Calculator

Version 0.61 is finally out!

Sorry for the delay. I had it finished last weekend but had issues creating an installer that would automatically resolve dependencies. This guy is good to go now, though!

I'm also looking into why Chrome is giving warnings when downloading. The file is flagged as "Not ...

Re: Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain Widescreen Patcher

Unfortunately I won't be supporting this any longer, but that wasn't ever a planned feature anyway.

I've got another project I'm starting preliminary work on which would hopefully reduce the instances of things like that (The FOV fix breaking) for future games. I know that's a no consolation for ...

Re: ResHex: Resolution to Hex Calculator

I am currently brainstorming a bigger application which would make patching games without widescreen support easier.

For those on this forum that do such things, if you have any specific ideas let me know. I'd like to build a tool specifically for the task of making widescreen mods easier.

Re: Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain Widescreen Patcher

ehi Chris, sorry I can ask you another question ot? There are other ways to get on the various AC image in 1280x1024 in fullscreen and not stretched? Or even a way to zoom the image, even by drivers? (I have a 270X).
I can not play no AC for this reason!

What are AC images? Assassin's Creed? I'm ...

Re: Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain Widescreen Patcher

Glad to hear it's still useful. I can't believe I missed the config. I don't even remember updating 0.21a. I write so much software between work and personal projects that it blends together, and I've literally been sick for two weeks and am only back to normal this week.

Re: Fallout 4 Eyefinity/Surround

So... this thread is really scattered. Any chance someone in the know could do a write up and consolidate the information in a new topic or have an admin update the original post?

I'd potentially take a stab at an automated patcher. It doesn't look like it would be that difficult. I scanned ...

Re: Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain Widescreen Patcher

Unfortunately not. Talking with jackfuste, he informed me that would require cracking the game. I have no interest in that. It only patches the game to support different aspect ratios.

He's probably right, but I had originally wanted to take a stab at it anyway. I never got around to it since I ...

Re: ResHex: Resolution to Hex Calculator

For completeness:

The horizontal/vertical values are simple the raw hex values of the numbers input in the horizontal/vertical boxes. So if you put 1920 in the vertical box, you'll see the hex value 8007.

Going backwards...

80 07 == 07 80 (Converted to big endian... Normal left to right view that ...

Re: ResHex: Resolution to Hex Calculator

v0.51 is working great, at least the part I can make sense of. Now I don't have to remember that 3440x1440 is 8EE31840 and 2560x1080 is 26B41740. Cheers !

Re: ResHex: Resolution to Hex Calculator

Updated!

I apologize for putting out something that didn't work. I used QT so I wouldn't be reliant on MS libraries, but I screwed it up anyway! The file size is slightly increased, but I think it's worth the trade off.

Anyway, the updated files are standalone and don't have any dependencies on ...

Re: ResHex: Resolution to Hex Calculator

Yikes! Sorry for the problems. I ran it on my machine and it was fine. It's the first time I've distributed software this way.

I'll set up a W7 VM and try to re-release today. I'm out from work sick today with what feels like the flu, but I'm fine as long as I keep the fever down.

Re: Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain- 21:9 support broke

I want to apologize openly to NightBits.

I researched QiHoo 360 and Bkav and they're notorious for false positives. They shouldn't even be on VirusTotal.

I haven't used his/her utility, but I believe it's safe.

Re: Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain- 21:9 support broke


1. Its not a virus
2. To use it you need to patch the ORIGINAL executable (not an already modified one)

5. These resolutions are the most commonly used ...
