4:3 Games in to Widescreen resolution Thread...

Goodman · Apr 23, 2010

EDIT:I ask erocker to change my thread title so we can all participated in sharing all the solution/mod we find for all 4:3 games that can be mod/fit in to widescreen resolutions
I'll edit when i find more later...

I bought a 24" widescreen LCD a few weeks ago & now i am having fun of playing games once again...

Anyhow i found a way to play Doom3 in widescreen mode (1920x1080) or any resolutions that you want to play with...

I know it is an old game now but i thought i share the solution to some of you that may not know how & still will like to play Doom3 again.

Playing through doom3 right now.

Looks really great with 8xAA, just wish I had super sampling on my 4890. I know I can set a larger res to scale down, but for some reason scaling isn't available in my CCC.

Anyways, thx for the headsup.

Does anyone use the shader mods at all? :eek:

Yeah their the ones, there are heaps more too, but since Doom 3 never went over a 60fps cap, when you applied the shader mod, which ever one, the system would bogg down to a really low FPS like 20-30fps and that was on like a HD4850, so I stayed away from em, I think Doom 3 is a classic game, still has decent graphic detail as well :toast:

I want it

I had this game up until about a year ago and then sold it for $10.
I want it again because I got my Home Theatre Computer hooked
up and running on the 52" LCD with Dolby Digital. I want to play it all over again.
I have some games I'd trade for it. Far Cry 2, Frontlines Fuel of War, Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter,
Crysis Warhead, and a couple other FPS I can't think of off hand.
I'd trade any two of those for Doom 3 again.
Anyone interested Please PM me. Thanks !

@boise : If you get no response here, you may want to do a [FT] thread in the b/s/t forums. That gets lots of viewers.
