... but MinGW (compile on Linux!)

Because MSVC is for losers. Also, we support WinXP.

Plugins to make or improve widescreen resolutions support in PC games, add more features and fix bugs. that do way too much.

Differences to main repo

• Unavailable functionality:

  • Not all games are supported
  • Shader-related things like ConsoleGamma
  • DX9 shader paths for GTA III/VC/SA TransparentMenu

• Quirks:

  • Bigger .asi files, not sure why
  • Probably more..?

• Fixes:

  • Windows XP support (the main reason for this fork existing)
  • Dynamic menu scissoring in NFS Underground, pillarboxing crash
  • NFS ProStreet FMV scaling on non-16:9 monitors
  • Some games no longer use graphically taxing defaults

Building

You can find the resulting files in data/*.WidescreenFix/scripts.

The following SUITEs are supported:

• NFSUnderground.WidescreenFix
• NFSUnderground2.WidescreenFix
• NFSMostWanted.WidescreenFix
• NFSCarbon.WidescreenFix
• NFSProStreet.FusionFix
• GTA3.WidescreenFix
• GTAVC.WidescreenFix
• GTASA.WidescreenFix

Premake 5

Requirements:

• Premake 5 (pre-built executable available in this repository root)
• sh
• make
• MinGW

wine premake5.exe gmake
./patch-makefiles.sh
cd build
SUITE=NFSUnderground.WidescreenFix
export AR=i686-w64-mingw32-ar
export CC=i686-w64-mingw32-gcc
export CXX=i686-w64-mingw32-g++
export RESCOMP=i686-w64-mingw32-windres
make -j$(nproc) -f $SUITE.make # add config=debug_win32 for debug

sh

I recommend this path on Windows. You can simply grab busybox-w32 and mingw-lite to get started. This method even allows you to compile right from Windows XP.

Requirements:

• sh
• MinGW

cd build_alt
SUITE=NFSUnderground.WidescreenFix
./$SUITE.sh # or debug_$SUITE.sh, for debug

XP Support

To enable XP support, edit include/targetver.h and change #define WINVER 0x0600 to #define WINVER 0x0501. Note that this requires a MinGW with POSIX threads, I believe. If you want to support CPUs without SSE(2), you should also use a MinGW that isn't compiled with it. You can use a Gentoo i486 chroot for example, or mingw-lite (one of the i486 w98 builds) on Windows.

How to Report Crashes

Open an issue. Try to send some sort of useful crashdump, preferably use a debug .asi.
