BGII and others with the same engine

I wanted to replay BGII but didn't find any solution here to play it widescreen :(

even worse, it wasn't playable at all on 1280*1024 on my monitor (native 1680*1050) because of grave visual glitches

but google to the resque:

first findings seems positive and wow what a view!!!
it possible works on BG1 with exp, BG2 with or without exp, ID1 with expansion, ID2, PS:T (probably all the same engine)

many happy playings

About what I figured. Useful for the lower widescreen resolutions. Not so useful for the larger ones. :)

No 4:3 HUD Scaling. :(

Non-standard widescreen resolutions do not display fullscreen. EX. 1280x800

This is 1280 by 720. My guess is that this would be the most used widescreen resolution.

Torment would most likely look the best because of the larger sized characters. I will see if I can get some BG or ID pics up.

Better HUD. Smaller characters.
