==Widescreen Support==
James Bond 007: Nightfire on the PC natively supports all widescreen resolutions but crops the image on any resolution other than 4:3. 
A third party patch available at [http://www.NORULEZ.net www.NORULEZ.net] restores full widescreen support to the game by increasing the field of view from 76 to 90 degrees. 
Also available from the website is a free full version copy of the game including multiplayer, hundreds of new maps, mods, 3rd party updates and more.

Warcraft 3

60.234.173.84 — Sun, 03 Oct 2010 09:20:40 GMT

178.64.104.156:

Warcraft 3 by todays standards is an old game, but it is still popular. Larger monitors, 21" or larger, have native resolutions that are not supported by Warcraft 3. There is, of course, a way to force Warcraft 3 (both Reign of Chaos and The Frozen Throne) to run in a high or widescreen resolution. The only way to do this is to do a simple registry edit. I have included a couple of pictures to demonstrate how to do this registry edit. I have done this before in the past and it is safe.

First, we need to open a 'run' window. Go to Start--->Run--->RegEdit. Then follow the below navigation...

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Blizzard Entertainment\Warcraft III\Video

There are two variables that you must change: resheight and reswidth.

Make sure you change the default hex value to decimal value.

Example - 24" widescreen with 1920x1200 resolution.

reswidth = 1920
resheight = 1200

You may have to restart Warcraft 3 for the change to take effect. Thats all there is to it! Have fun playing Warcraft 3 with your monitor's native resolution.

However, '''PLEASE NOTE''' that it won't provide an in-game native resolution support and your in-game view will be stretched. Currently, there's no way to go over it, as it is hardcoded in the game.

In order to get widescreen resolutions or any wanted resolution which is not in the game by default just go to the games location and open the Config.sb file with Editor or Notepad.

Line 4 and 5 should be like this:

<code>
.SX 1024
.SY 768
</code>

Now for changing the resolution just edit these 2 numbers and save. For me it now looks like this since I wanted the resolution to be 1920x1080.

<code>
.SX 1920
.SY 1080
</code>

You might still have to mark it as write protected in properties afterwards.

If your game crashes just retry and it should be fine. If it still crashes you'll have to unmark it as writeprotected again and remove any changes you made in the Config.sb file. For that just use a default resolution like 1024x768.

Chaser

79.164.31.94 — Sat, 20 Feb 2010 12:46:41 GMT

79.164.31.94: /* Game Information */

==Game Information==

'''Chaser''' is a Sci-Fi First Person Shooter game, developed by '''Cauldron HQ''' and released by '''JoWooD Productions'''. This game was seriously underrated for the time, mostly because it came out in the summer of 2003, when '''Grand Theft Auto: Vice City''' was released for PC and every PC-owned gamer played it as a fine replicate to actual summer vacation;) Besides, '''Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne''' was released in October and had stolen the show for the rest of the year. No surprise this game was forgotten - it just wouldn't compete with brands of '''Rockstar Games'''.
Anyway, the game itself was quite good, including astonishing cinematic cutscenes, great deal of story telling and decent gameplay.

==Windows 7 Compatibility==
Chaser works on Windows Se7en. Version 1.0 works fine, but if you patch it to 1.49 (or 1.50) it won't even start.

==Widescreen Support==
Chaser has native widescreen support. It supports both 16:9 & 16:10 resolutions, but I only tried 1920x1080. Since my LCD is 16:9-compatible and doesn't support 1920x1200, I found useless testing it for lower 16:10 resolutions. During the WS-gaming no cutscenes were letterboxed. The HUD, however, is stretched horizontally a bit, which can barely be noticed.

The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind

114.78.183.53 — Mon, 28 Dec 2009 08:03:14 GMT

84.58.66.68:

==Game Information==

The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind is an epic, open-ended single-player game where you create and play any kind of character you can imagine. Be the noble hero embarking on an epic quest, or an insidious thief rising to leadership of his guild. Be a malevolent sorcerer developing the ultimate spell of destruction, or a reverent healer searching for the cure to a plague. Your actions define your character, and your gameplay changes and evolves in response to your actions. Confront the assassins' guild, and they take out a contract on you. Impress them, and they try to recruit you instead. No two sagas are the same in the world of Morrowind.

Players can choose to follow the intriguing main storyline, or set off to explore the huge province of Morrowind and the many interesting people and exotic locations it contains. Vast cities and remote villages dot the landscape, each with its own unique look and feel. Hundreds of quests and adventures await as you interact with characters and learn more. Regardless of whether you play a murdering assassin or a noble knight, the game holds endless possibilities and allows you to revisit the main storyline at any time.

==Widescreen Support==

The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind does not have native support for widescreen resolutions (as of version 1.2.0277). Resolution preferences are stored as keys in the Windows registry, so if you're comfortable with regedit, browse to Bethesda Softworks/Morrowind and edit 'Screen Height' and 'Screen Width' to your preferred values. Make sure you edit in 'decimal' mode, unless you understand hexadecimal.

The third party mod "Morrowind Graphics Extender" adds full widescreen support along with things like anti-aliasing or anisotropic filtering.
