Pharaoh, Zeus...on widescreen

revcr · Post by **revcr** » 19 Oct 2012, 05:17

I just found this hoping i could find a fix for my pharaoh game, and I DID. First off i want to thank everyone who made that possible.

I did not know Emperor i just played zeus and pharaoh and loved them.

My hope is to wait for the widescreen fix for Emperor before i even try it.

Any news on that fix?

Sneaky bastard snuck in the files without writing here. *fetches torch and pitchfork and sits down to play Emperor*

He did, but that was two weeks after he'd created the fix. Still highly grateful of course :)

So he did! the forum (is as usual) messing up the page counts - heck it took my a reload of the site to see your last three comments at all...

Either way - Whoo!

Thanks Jack for Emperor .. it's perfect.
On the Zeus fix.. I managed with the limited knowledge i have to change your 1920x1200 fix to suit mine resolution 1080p (changed 4 values). The thing is I don't like that light blue color (lower right corner).
I'm asking you: How do I remove it so I can get my workaround_fix to work in that corner (at what offset should i change the new values with the old ones) [OR] You said that you learned how to draw so can you draw my rectangle there?

Can anyone supply a mirror or re-upload of the Zeus/Poseidon exe? The drop box link results in a 509 error for max bandwidth consumption.

Massively appreciate the effort put into this, especially after so much time has passed since these games were released. I too would like to add my voice to those asking for Caesar 3 to be patched.

Also could I request a resolution? 1024x600 would be really useful for my netbook, then I can play at 1920x1200 at home and keep things going once I go out. Pharaoh or Emperor at 1024x600 would be really useful!

Many thanks!

Thank you so much for these releases!!! I was dreaming for years about such thing as HD resolution on those games... Sadly my favorite is... Caesar 3. Any chances to make patch for this one too? Or maybe you ould just explain me how exactly you are doing it (I've tried visiting your website, but Its in italian, so I dont understand anything)? Im a web developer, have good knowledge of php, mysql ect, but sadly no experience at all in software development. So anyway any chances you could help me with caesar 3 in any way?
THanks a lot!!!

I don't understand what I'm doing wrong, but when I copy and replace both the exe and the data files, Emperor gets stuck on a black screen and I can't do anything on PC apart from long pressing the power button...

My laptop screen resolution is 1366x768 and I tried the 1360x768 file in the 7z archive.

Any tips? Thanks in advance!

Make sure that your display supports 1360x768x16bit.
