Screenshots

Requirements

• VGA and CRT/LCD which supports 16:9 resolutions(!)
  *my: GF3Ti200(52.16) and SONY 17" CRT
• "GPL Resolutions" by Phil Flack
  You can find it here(RSC Forum).

Sequence(D3D7)

1. Install rastd3d7_16_9.dll from "GPL Resolutions".

   rename it to rastd3d7.dll
   or simple copy it to gpl folder and set its filename to app.ini .
   example)

   [ Graphics ]
   lastRasterizerDLL = rastd3d7_16_9.dll

2. Launch GPL Windowed(*), and set resolutions in the "Option".
   *I recommend "Windowed mode" with starting your wide screen project.

3. Adjust FOV.

   default FOV	= 77.99427
   my FOV setting for 16:9	= 94.49427
   I changed my FOV using "FovEd" by Alex Cameron. Its easy to adjust FOV. You can find it at Stone's FOV-The Pitboard Fixes

Extras

That is very simple thing.

1. Launch "Wide Screen GPL" with Full Screen.
   *I like OGL rasteriser ;) So, I choice rastogl_16_9.dll and set resolutionsto 1280x720 and edit FOV to 94.49427.
2. Adjust CRT's settings such like sizes and positions. :D
   for me, I set height zero and widening and adjust V-H positions.
   After all, I could not get full wides, the sides are run out of CRT rim. :(
   So I could not see some chat messages LOL
   but I get some wide views. ;)
