Widescreen Gaming Forum

Hey, jackfuste! Two weeks have passed. Any news about Emperor? :bigsmile:
And one more question to you. I'm playing the polish version which contains some language improvements (i.e. diacritical marks). If I compare 2 executables and then replace blocks containing some alphabet and font settings (I've seen a few places like these), will the game work for me with high resolution? How do you think :quest: (So the question boils down to "what are you going to do with that exe?".)
:beer: :onethumb

bump for update :)

Ok. I have registerd me, to say "Thank you" to Jackfuste !!! And I`am one of the peoples, waiting for Emperor in widescreen. And I hope also for Caesar 3.

Perhaps, there are peoples, who now "Seebaer" and Vera, performed a Caesar 3, Pharaho and Zeus Forum in german in the beginning of the 20. Century.
Now, I´am 58 years jung.... I dont need english after school, 40 years ago. But I hope, anywhere can unterstand my terrible english.

Also, looking on german page:

Greetings from Germany


Seebaer

I'm just blown away by this!

I've been having the worst time trying to get Pharaoh to function at all - it refuses to run no matter what I try on my Win7 64-bit machine. I've got it running on a virtual box VM of winXP, with guest editions installed, but it resizes the VM window down to its meagre dimensions. I've tried installing your hack, and the game runs fine, but if I try to change the resolution to "1024 x 768" it goes black for a while, and then reverts... any ideas?

Anyway - great work!

Working suggestion sent by PM :)

Bump for Emperor, Please.

Hi,

I bought zeus and pharoah from gog.com and came straight over here for the widescreen files.

The zeus files work perfectly, thanks!

Unfortunately both the pharoah and cleopatra 7-zip files seem to be corrupted or somehow incorrectly packed. When I unpack them I get a message that the compression method is unsupported and I am using 7-zip to unpack them. Can anyone re-upload the files (I need 1920 x 1200 resolution)?

Thanks again!

Wow! Pharaoh, Cleopatra AND Zeus all in glorious 1920x1200? I am speechless. The game looks so amazing even today.

Is there any chance you hex wizards could conjure up one for Emperor as well? I can send you the 1.01 executable if you'd like to (and I'm allowed - forum rules and all that)

:D

Bump for Emperor, Please.

I have not forgotten about the Emperor. Due to problems with my HDD, I have to redo a widescreen fix again. Some resolution (1680x1050; 1920x1080; 1920x1200) have been made.

Looks great already - I see the sidebar doesn't have the black background as Pharaoh did - your work or does emperor expand it on its own?

Instead of a black background, I found a way to draw textures.

I couldn't resist anymore so I made this account to say millions of THANKS for doing all this.
I can finally replay these games and it seems that they are still looking very good.

Now.. as it seems you are getting better at it... Wait... What I'm talking about.. That 1080p screenshot of Emperor looks perfect... Can you please find time to fix Zeus on 1080p as well !?
Things like:
- the black background areas (since I don't know how to program, just to play in photoshop, I've made a workaround fix)

... Just decided for a visual approach:

Again.. !! millions of thanks !! and let's hope you don't run into more problems...

That's cool. Really gives it a nice finish. :)

Thanks so much for these fixes. I loved both Pharaoh and Zeus back in the day. Played them to death. It's great to be able to play them again.

Does anyone else have the problem in Pharaoh where when you go to the world map it stays in the bottom right corner of the screen on the main map?

Thanks a million Jackfuste for making these fixes! It's really awesome to be able to play these games in high resolution.

Thanks too for posting the zip archive I was able to unpack the files and cleopatra seems to be working now as well.

Hello.

I hope you can "fix" resolution for Caesar 3.

Thanks,
Regards.

Any news on emperor? I'd love to help you test that 1920x1200 version for you. Almost done with my Pharaoh playthrough and I'm running out of scenarios to play :bigsmile:

I`am also waiting for "The Emperor" in 1920x1200. Hopping for download in the next months.
