The Polar Express Widescreen (and other 6th gen games)

Post by Senior Senpai »

I've made a similar thread on PCgamingwiki's forum, because I was unable to make an account here. I was kindly told how to make an account, so I did, and I hope I have more success here. Anyways.

Hello there. I have recently bought a retail copy of The Polar Express for PC, since the holiday season is upon us. And it, like many 6th generation games, doesn't have a Wiki page, much less any sort of fixes or hacks. I would've taken this thread to WSGF, but unless I can't find it the link to do so, I wasn't able to sign up to make the thread, so this may be helpful here.

Alright, according to this game's intro videos, it seems to be using RenderWare, which may be a well documented engine at this point. What I would like to know is if anyone would know how to make the game play in widescreen instead of stretched from 4:3, since playing in windowed mode is apparently out of the question. Ideally, what I'd like to do is learn how to widescreen hack games, which does seem like an involved process, and don't want to bother others for what is a rather niche title.

Any and all help would be appreciated. If I posted this in the wrong section, feel free to move it.

Thank you, and happy holidays!
