01. LOTR:The Return of the King
02. TMNT Mutant Melee
03. Dynasty Warriors 5
04. Cold Fear
05. Rayman 3
06. Indigo Prophecy
07. Kabus 22
08. The Suffering: Ties That Bind
09. Obscure 2
10. Outcry
11. StillLife
12. The Da Vinci Code
13. Enter The Matrix

It seems all the games above don't work with ini or registry, only hack? Any idea? THX in advance.

I own Still Life and Indigo Prophecy, so I can look around on those, but likely they were just never designed with advanced options in mind.

Still Life is probably just a rendered background plate, so widescreen would mean stretching almost for sure, I would guess.

Well, I think stretching is better than a 4:3 full screen resolution in WS monitor. :lol:

The Suffering and The Suffering: Ties That Bind can both be played in windowed mode.

Protip :) :

Use Windows XP-s Zune skin because it's quite dark. (download it for free) Also, use a dark wallpaper, so the surrounding sreen area won't irritate your eyes while you are playing.

A problem is, that 1280x1024 is 4:3 resolution in fullscreen but in window mode the image looks a bit vertically streched.
Regarding pixel count, 1280x960 would be truly 4:3.

These older games are the reason why I bought a 16:10 monitor instead of a 16:9 one.

Ive been trying to get Return of The King working in a custom Resolution all day, after trying to locate the correct file to HEX edit eventually i discovered the resolution was being controlled by a .ini file in My Documents (yeah didnt think to look there first lol)

unfortunately there is only a line for Width though

[Video]
AdapterNumber=0
Width=640
Gamma=0.850000
Enable32Bit=1
EnableShadows=1
EnableSimpleShadows=0
AlternateCameras=1
LowResTexture=0
SfxMode=2

i tried changing the Width line to 1920 but this just resulted in the Resolution going to 1280x960 (the max ingame option i get)

so perhaps a solution to this game wont ever be found, which is a shame because it still looks amazing given its age
