Widescreen Gaming Forum

Welcome all!

I recently took the plunge and bought a TH2G

So as going thru some of my reciently purchased games I tried out darwinia. It turns out that it natively supports all of the TH2G resolutions and the game works flawlessly. A great example of how a game should play on the TH2G!






I'm not sure if this is the right place to be posting these pictures, and the Master Games List should be updated as well.

Is this the boxed version, or the Steam version?

Sorry, its the steam version.

Hey Tecno the links to the pics no longer work .. :(
Also please enter our Poll and give us your thoughts on the TH2G (if you haven't already) here ... http://www.widescreengamingforum.com/node/7187

Sorry about the unreliable host, its shared with a friend. A lot of work has gotten it to be somewhat reliable. But still far from 100%

I see the pics now so maybe it was just a quick glitch.

Amazing. Can you do a comparison set for TH2Go and a 4:3. I'd love to add them here:

A full list of the resolutions available.

A lot of people don't give the TH2G a second thought because it is an analog input. But I have to say that my screen has been crystal clear since I have had it.

For those of you who do not know, when you switch to a 4:3 resolution with the TH2G the side monitors turn off and the game plays regularly in the on the center screen.

HOWEVER... When I was conducting this test, when I switched to a 4:3 resolution the picture was clearly analog, bad analog, to the point where the windows had a rough edge to them.

I can honestly say that using the TH2G it is very hard to tell if you are running on analog or digital input, but it is blatantly apparent when you switch to a 4:3 resolution

I asked earlier but didn't really get an answer.

Is this the proper place to update the information about Darwinia, which was my original intent with posting the pictures.

Other options that came to mind is making a new topic in the surround discussions and solutions.

Or, posting a reply to the original detailed report of Darwinia.

I bring this up because as I'm taking a second look at my older games, Psychonauts also has native surround support. Pics to follow, when I know where to put them. :)

Interesting that you've had this experience. I run my center monitor in single-screen mode on the desktop all of the time and game in 4:3 when a game does not support triplehead resolutions. I've never noticed any image quality issues like that (I'm not picky, but it sounds like even I would see it).

The only time the center monitor goes wacky in single-screen mode is I enter my BIOS. Then it's a flickering purple mess, while the other display driven off of the same GPU is blue and steady.

REALLY freaking game?

Are this normal mode screenies?

Nice shots from an unusual game... Anyone tried Defcon from steam? THAT would look awesome on THTG

YOu mean the global war game?

I'm away from home right now, its on my list of games to test out.

Taking into account its made by the same place and the widescreen support is native, I don't anticipate any problems.

I was pleasantly surprised to see darwinia working perfectly aswell. Good news to those who do own darwinia - they are soon to release a patch of the order of 'expansion pack' which adds extra levels and a large graphical overhaul (Not that it wasn't already gorgeous) and there are hints of multiplayer on the horizon. You can already get this update in their 'darwinia for vista' version released 2 weeks ago, but it is due for the steam and older boxed versions too. Another strategy game that works perfectly with TH is supreme commander - aspect ratio is perfect and using ALT+Up cursor changes the menu from space-hogging bottom bar to a C&C fan's sidebar - woop!

Code: Select all

Defcon from steam?

YOu mean the global war game?

yep. really getting into that. on THTG i think it would be awesome!

Wow, a have a non steam version (just) exe from a friend, and I thought it to be a freeware game. :oops:
Maybe i try it in SG gaming (it is only installed on my notebook because of the low performance demand)!
