Does anyone know how to play Prince of Persia: Warrior Within in widescreen on the pc? The only resolution I can get to show in widescreen is 640x480 which looks like crap.

i'm playing on 1280x920, not really widescreen, but looks ok. Wish someone would *cough* hack *cough* the exe to add widescreen resolutions (I'd prefer 1680x1050).

It would seem that a configuaration change should work as I look at the configuration,txt and my custom video is listed corectly. But I can'nt select it from the game. Anyone know the trick?

I'm currently having the same problem with this game.

Does anyone know if it's the same engine as the previous Prince of Persia game? In that case, we could look for those solutions instead...

Yep looks like the same engine. I don't have the game myself but looked at a cracked EXE it looks like more or less the same patch should work. I've updating my modified patches.ini, download it and give it a go if you like :)

Same deal as the POP1 patch, you'll need a cracked EXE to apply it.

I've found a cracked .exe, but am still unsure what to do next...

How did you get those resolutions? The two .ini files in the game folder don't appear to have much to do with game settings.

It doesn't look like there's any difference between the 1600x1200 and 1920x1200. Check the sides and corner and they pretty much match up.

Right. You've got a cracked .exe file. Go into the directory where the game .exe is and create a folder called "backup" (you can call it whatever you want, but I tend to stick to that) and move the current game .exe into that folder for safekeeping.

Then copy the cracked .exe to where the game .exe used to be.

Go look in this thread and this thread for the two other files you need:

(or the direct links, but read the posts in the threads, so you know what to do)

the patches.ini file


and Wogg's UniWS

then follow the instructions in the threads to patch the .exe file to run in widescreen.

Hope this clears it up. Good luck. :D

another thing to note is that when playing in 16:9 or 16:10 resolutions, the games 2D health and sands of time bar is cut off. Sadly this game was not coded to be played in Widescreen properly
