D3D8 game doesn't stretch from 4:3 to 16:9 #168

Closed weewoo-meow closed 1 year ago

Hello

My game called Torrente On-Line (it is in Spanish, won't blame anyone for not knowing it) doesn't stretch even if configured. It uses D3D8 according to Ghidra.

My config:

Can someone point out if I misconfigured something?

elishacloud commented 1 year ago

All .dll from used are from this project or custom game libraries unless d3d8.dll which I sourced it from https://github.com/crosire/d3d8to9

You don't actually need that library as dxwrapper includes that already.

It uses D3D8 according to Ghidra.

Actually it appears that it is using D3D9, based on the logs. I suspect that is because you are using https://github.com/crosire/d3d8to9 to covert it to D3D9. Again, you can do that with dxwrapper instead.

Can someone point out if I misconfigured something?

Well, there are a lot of settings enabled that probably don't need to be. But unfortunately there is no option in dxwrapper to force D3D8 games into 16:9.

Ok, I changed the file to d3d8.dll from your repo's release and put it in the game folder.

Is it possible to stretch to 16:9 by using D3D8 to D3D9 properly?

elishacloud commented 1 year ago

Ok, I changed the file to d3d8.dll from your repo's release and put it in the game folder.

Ok, the logs look good.

Is it possible to stretch to 16:9 by using D3D8 to D3D9 properly?

No, not with dxwrapper. Dxwrapper can only stretch older DirectDraw games. However, you may be able to stretch the game using your monitor/TV controls to switch to 16:9. Depending on your monitor settings.

Another option, if you have Nvidia you may be able to do that through the Nvidia Control Panel. I can do this via Nvidia on my desktop.

If you have Nvidia, check out this page:

https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Glossary:Scaling#GPU.2FDisplay_scaling When the game uses d3d9, you could also try to force things with specialk

I will take a look, thank you so much.
