Forcing 640*480 via Mamewah resolution tool?
« on: June 14, 2006, 04:55:58 am »
How can I quickly force 640*480 with hwstretch 1 on every game using the resolution tool? I don't want to go through every resolution and change every single game.

Reason for this is that some vertical shooters look too small on my big D9200 screen. I don't care that it won't be 100% true to the original ratios...
this is my........BOOMstick!

Tis a shame not to put that screen to it's potential tho, many games will look poor with those settings :(


I agree Minwah. I did buy the D9200 with that in mind. What would you suggest in that case though? It would more or less mean that I would need to go through every resolution in the restool and change the settings per game. I have already made sure that all games should use their native settings. If no ideal setting is found, 640*480 hwstretch 1 will be used.

What would you suggest?

You may have already done it then...the Res Tool if properly configured should pick the best modes for you.

Read my included readme file and it gives you a quick how-to - that should get you on the right tracks (if you're not already!) :)
