UniWS: Discussion Help

Daryl · Post by **Daryl** » 15 Jun 2005, 12:41

Hi everybody, I'm french and I'm experiencing HTPC on my Pioneer 435 FDE plasma television.

My plasma television only have a hdmi input which only allows 720p or 1080i as HDTV resolution.

I have a radeon 9800 pro with the catalyst 5.6 and my resolution in DVI on my plasma TV is 1216x684 @ 60Hz (the driver allows to have personalized resolution compatible with 720p in order not to have extra zones out out of the screen).

I tried yesterday for the first time the UniWS patcher for NFSU2 @ resolution of 1280x720 and it doesn't work on my plasma tv ?
The program failed to lauch with an error code ?

It does work on my 19" CRT screen in VGA mode and in 1280x720 resolution.

It comes from my plasma tv (and maybe the catalyst 5.6).

Do you have any idea ?

thanks and sorry for my english...

Does anyone have a version of patches.ini that works for either the Simcity 4 rush hour or the deluxe edition? The patches.ini posted here only works for the original simcity 4. I am trying to get UniWS to work in 1680x1050 resolution for those two newer versions of simcity 4.

Thanks guys

I am also looking for a patcher or CFG file to use widescreen for SimCity Deluxe so if anyone one is working on one please let us know as I would be happy to test!

[quote][quote]can anyone suggest a way to put Pro Evolution Soccer 4 in 16:10 resolutions? :wink:

seconded.

....and third'd

...and fourthed (?). No really, please.

Fifth'd.

I've played a ton of games, but have never seen a game that could benefit from widescreen more than Pro Evo 4/WE8

After patching Need for speed underground 1, to 1280x800 (16:10) screen is a little to high (my car is 10 pixels higher in 1280x800 16:10-laptop than 1280x960 4x3-CRT). I maked the precise comparison in photoshop. :?

Here is a config I made for 1680x1050:

I can make others if you request a specific resolution.

Any game or just Sim City ? .... :shock: :D

Wow, it's been a while. Sorry for the wait.

I wasn't able to test it, so please post back if it does/doesn't work.

If Wogg gets a few minutes (or mjrpes or whoever), I have an idea. Rather than constantly having to update this program (which sounds cool, I haven't used it), how about a nice tutorial on hex editing for resolution?

Teach a man to fish and whatnot.

I know with one game, I think it was Vampire Bloodlines, someone had made a patch that didn't work for me, but had typed out how they had hacked it. I reversed engineered the hack and was able to hex edit the relevant .dll file myself.

Anyway, I think this could help the community really expand the heck out of this utility.

Wogg hasn't been on the board in a while, due to demands from his work and life. But, there are other coders on. Hopefully someone can help. There was a mini-tutorial in one of the 06 EA Sports threads, either Tiger Woods or NBA. Paradigm gave a little insight, but I agree a full tutorial would be nice.

Hmmm, I like that idea. I only know the very basics of hex editing myself, so I'm sure other people can pick up my 'skills' quite easily.

I've written up a small tutorial in the howto section of this site:

Alright, I've updated the PATCHES.INI file in an attempt to fix the Prince of Persia problem you guys have been having. It works for some people and not others.. eh.

Please download the PATCHES.INI again from the link above in my previous post and overwrite the one you downloaded before.

Run UNIWS.EXE, set it to Prince of Persia, find the folder, and UNDO the patch if you can. Then go ahead and patch.

Hope it works.

Can anyone help me to get Prince Of Persia - Sands of Time to work in widescreen. At first I tried using the 'POPWS -set 1680 1050' file but it didn't work. It actually made the game limited to 600x800.

So I downloaded the UNIWS.EXE, set it to Prince of Persia, and found the folder. But the option to "Undo Patch" is greyed out. I also can't type in a new resolution. Am I doing something wrong here? Do I need a cracked POP.exe, and if so where would I find it? Thanks for any help.

I may be wrong but I think you do need a cracked POP.exe ... get one here ... http://spacetarget.com/games/pc_prince_of_persia.shtml

Thanks for the link. Ok, I tried it again but the game doesn't want to run at 1680x1050. Here's what I did. . .

I downloaded the cracked exe., copied it in the game directory, and made sure that the game works without the CD. . . .

Then I opened UWS Patcher, set the new resolution to 1608x1050, and clicked "patch." Then I went into the game and found the new resolution available. But when I set it to use 1680x1050, the game crashes.

I even tried removing the patch and checking that the game still runs at 1280x1024 and it did. So I set the patch again and tried to use 1680x1050 but it still crashed.

Anyone know why?

Thanks again for the help. :)

By the way, "where is the link above in my previous post" that you are referring to, Wogg?

Help anyone? :(

Revivalist, here it is. Or just go to the download page and download uniws.

When I run UniWS, I can't enter anything in the "new resolution" fields. It seems that while it *looks* like there are two text boxes there, they aren't actually enabled. This means I can't patch KotOR, which means I'm sad.
Am I missing something? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
