Widescreen Gaming Forum

Uh... on my PS2...

Go to "System Configuration" -> "Screen Size"

I have three options:

4:3
Full Screen
16:9

So. There is a system level setting for aspect ratio. This is on an SD 4:3 TV, and an SD 16:9 TV. Neither set supports progressive scan, since they're SD.

It might just be a PAL thing.

Right, I forgot about that menu. FYI, that setting only affects PS2 menus - not the games. Even when playing DVDs, you still need to turn on a completely different "16:9" mode from the DVD menu to use widescreen.

Hello,

I am looking for help with setting custom resolutions in Metal Gear Solid (1). There are files mgs.cfg and mgsvideo.cfg but they are not 'text' files - the values probably have to be changed in hex editor, just like for MGS, but I have no idea what and where should be changed. I hope someone here who is more knowledgeable can help me :)

If it helps, I can provide links to cfg files. The default resolution is 640x480. I can theoretically choose 800x600 and 1024x768 in the options menu, but once I do that the game starts crashing and has to be reinstalled. I would be perfectly happy if I could set 1024x768.

If anyone is interested, I found fixed exe file which enables MGS to run in XP/Vista with modern graphics cards (e.g. 8800GT) in hardware accelerated mode.

Any way to fix the aspect ratio ? with text editor we can change resolution but it's stretched. metal gear solid 2 looks must be amazing on pc on 21/9 or triple wide.

hayden your work on silent hill 3 is amazing. i hope you look this thread
