Comes with a RAR file, which includes an ASI plugin intended to fix the resolution and aspect ratio in the arcade racing game "Hugo: Bukkazoom!" (2003), since the game only runs at up to 1280x1024 by default. Source code available here: https://github.com/alphayellow1/AlphaYellowWidescreenFixes/blob/main/source/fixes/HugoBukkazoomWidescreenFix Instructions: 1. Extract all files to the game folder. 2. Download ThirteenAG's Ultimate ASI Loader (32-bit version of dinput8.dll and dinput.dll, both files are required), and also extract it to the game folder. 3. Set the desired resolution in HugoBukkazoomWidescreenFix.ini. 4. Run the game's configuration executable (Config.exe) and select any resolution in the list and click OK to apply it (the actual resolution being saved is the one set in the fix's ini file). - Issues: :-: HUD and menus are stretched. -

All credits go to: lk19 This is a mirror from the author's GitHub page (https://github.com/lukek19/CPAGameFixes), for easier reachability. This widescreen fix contains improvements to the game. Instructions (taken from GitHub): Note: This fix is intended for the retail version of the game only. DO NOT USE IT WITH ANY PRE-PATCHED EXE FILES. The official Russian "portable" edition (the one with bugfixes.dll in the game directory) was not tested, but should be compatible with the fix. It simply has a few of the same patches hardcoded into the game's exe. In this case, please set CompatibilityPatch, NoCD and MakePortable to false, although it shouldn't do any harm to patch the code twice). Please note that the Russian version is not really "portable", as the game stores its savegames and configuration in %appdata%\Disney\DonaldDuck. Copy the folder "Donald" from the CD anywhere on your harddrive (e.g. C:\Games\Donald). In the following this will be referred to as <GameDir>. Copy the folder "Data" from the CD to <GameDir>. From the fix, copy Donald.asi, Donald.ini & ubi.ini to <GameDir>. Also copy \dll\GliDX6vf.dll to <GameDir>\dll. Download Ultimate ASI Loader (Win32 version of dinput.dll), and extract it to <GameDir>. Set up a Direct3D wrapper. Instructions for either dgVoodoo or DDrawCompat can be found below. To change aspect ratio and for advanced options, edit <GameDir>\Alex.ini with a text editor. Setup of Direct3D Wrapper dgVoodoo 2 Download the latest stable version of dgVoodoo from here: https://github.com/dege-diosg/dgVoodoo2/releases Copy dgVoodooCpl.exe & dgVoodoo.conf from the main directory as well as D3DImm.dll & DDraw.dll from the \MS\x86\ subdirectory to <GameDir>. Open the configurator dgVoodooCpl.exe. In the "DirectX" tab under "Resolution", choose "Desktop". Under "Miscellanneous", uncheck "dgVoodoo Watermark". Click "Apply" to save the changes. DDrawCompat Download the latest release of DDrawCompat. Also download DDrawCompat.ini. Copy ddraw.dll and DDrawCompat.ini to <GameDir>. Open DDrawCompat.ini with a text editor. Uncomment (remove the "#") the relevant rows and set the following parameters: AlternatePixelCenter = on DisplayAspectRatio = display LogLevel = none ResolutionScale = display(1) Using a game controller To use XInput devices: Download the latest version of Xidi. Find the Win32 version of dinput.dll and rename it to dinputHooked.dll. Copy dinputHooked.dll to <GameDir>. Download the pre-configured Xidi.ini and place it in <GameDir>. Adjust the the configuration to your own taste. FAQ / Known Issues Weird looking symbols in the top left corner This is actually not a bug. The symbols are actual HUD elements, stored in this position when they are not needed. At 4:3 aspect ratio they are off-screen, but at wider aspect ratios (which the developers never intended) they become visible. If you press "9" on the keyboard, they will magically teleport to their proper position in the HUD. To fix this, one would likely need to edit \Data\World\Levels\MapMonde\MapMonde.sna, which is currently out-of-scope for this patch. Background elements in 2D sidescrolling levels In the sidescrolling levels, the 3D background elements will sometimes clip in and out of view. This is likely related to the game's draw distance and I currently do not have a fix for this. GliDX6vf.dll The included file GliDX6vf.dll has been patched to fix the game's internal frame limiter sometimes altering between 60 and 30 FPS. It is almost identical to the one created by Dege (the author of dgVoodoo) for Rayman 2 and Goin' Quackers. However, I have updated it so that it also works with DDrawCompat. Disable internal frame limiter To disable the game's internal frame synchro completely, you may set DisableInternalSync = true in Donald.ini. In this case, there is no need to replace the game's original GliDX6vf.dll with the one provided in this fix. Please make sure that you are using an external frame limiter (e.g. dgVoodoo/DDrawCompat's built-in functionality) and limit the framerate to 60 FPS to avoid speed-up and crashes. FMVs are too small and stretched Plese refer to the separate FMV Troubleshooting Guide. -
I have both GOG and retail copies of - Empires: Dawn of the Modern World (2003). It can be a struggle to get working on a more modern OS, with modern hardware. In the past, once I finished installing a fresh copy of Windows 11, I would install Empires DOTMW first. That protocol normally worked. I recently installed Empires DOTMW via GOG without any success. After the video intros, I get a black screen. I tried YouTube tutorial - 'How to make Empires Dawn of the Modern World run on Windows 11'. I've installed the 'widescreen patch' for 1920x1080 resolution. I've tried some DXWrapper stuff but to be honest, I'm not sure what I'm doing with that tool. Using GOG Galaxy, you can't install the game with specific compatibility settings, whereas with the retail copy you probably can. You can only run the installed game with specific compatibility settings. I am also under the assumption the GOG version is pre-patched with game patches. Downloaded patches fail to locate the installed GOG game, too. Any suggestions?? Anyone else experiencing the same issue?? Any solutions?? -

Comes with a RAR file, which includes an ASI plugin intended to fix the field of view in the WW2 tactical first-person shooter game "Commandos 4: Strike Force" (2006), since the game's engine, RenderWare, stretches the view at resolutions with an aspect ratio wider than 4:3. Source code available here: https://github.com/alphayellow1/AlphaYellowWidescreenFixes/blob/main/source/fixes/Commandos4StrikeForceFOVFix Instructions: 1. Extract all files to the game folder. 2. Download ThirteenAG's Ultimate ASI Loader (32-bit version of winmm.dll), and also extract it to the game folder. 3. Set the desired resolution to fix the stretching and FOV factor in Commandos4StrikeForceFOVFix.ini. -

You need to have the game CD copied over to C:\, so the executables stay at C:\Racing\Racing\ Edit the registry at HKCU\Front FarEast\Racing\ with RacingCD=C:\Racing\ and RacingDir=C:\Racing\Racing\ Copy over the files of the official patch and then replace the game files with these files. It should theoretically work without the official patch, but untested. The password is in the name of a text file in the archive. -

Since i reinstalled win 10 on my PC after having some issues with my previous install, i can't manage to do it work with bluetooth again. The joystick is even recognized by the OS in a first moment, a pop up comes out asking 'tap to see what to do whit this device' and then it disconnects a couple seconds later.. Current OS is Windows 10 PRO update 1909 The DS4 Windows 3rd party software can't solve the problem either, only wired connection works as normal. i tried to make it work both with the current version v2.15 and a older version that installs a driver now replaced by ViGEmBus and doesn't worked as well. When wired, the OS recognizes the DS4 as a wireless controller on bluetooth tab, but when attempting to connect it wirelessly it doesn't even appear at all.. My dongle is a Orico 4.1 bts and it works just fine for pairing my smart phone. Another thing is that pressing together PS and share buttons doesn't make the OS ask for a pairing code.. It used to work like a charm in the previous win installation, also, i had an Xbox One controller paired with windows before, dunno if it helped somehow to recognize the DS4 as an x360 controller on HID devices before, i even installed the x360 driver recently (recommended for win 7 users) for no avail. And a final observation, the box on bluetooth generic radio properties on device manager tab asking 'allow windows to turn device off to save power' is already unchecked. Any clues? Any help attempt is appreciated. -
Hello everyone, I would like to clarify why my editing in the article on sound is constantly canceled? https://pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Glossary:Sound Here is the evidence on the pictures below about the difference in sound on the spectrograms. As you can probably notice, that on Windows 10 samples are more identical to the original, rather than on Windows 7. Used materials in this tests Source sound Windows 10 on Realtek Windows 10 on Creative G1 Windows 7 on Realtek Windows 7 on Creative G1 The peculiarity of this behavior in terms of sound in Windows 7 was caused by the introduction of DRM at the development stage of Windows Vista, which is also easily confirmed by reading the development literature. To carry out this test, recording through the line input via the built-in sound card with the help of Audacity was used and then the results were transferred to the schedule through the Spek. The conditions were the same (Volume 80% output and input) and the same player Foobar2000 on default settings (no asio/openal and ks with wasapi exclusive for output) was used. For very talented people, I note that the sound system has remained the same since Windows Vista, but has been significantly reworked: https://www.head-fi.org/threads/windows-10-has-better-sound-quality-than-windows-7-on-my-computer-not-necessarily-yours.789224/ Especially it is important for the old and not-so games that use DirectSound. And for those who like to listen to music, and especially in a high quality, because windose 10 does not force you to use all sorts of workarounds crutches mentioned above.

Hello! Since I'm using Windows 10 I am not able to run one of my old games that is SafeDisc protected DRM. I was thinking that I maybe could make a virtual copy of the game and then be able to run the game. At first I was thinking using Alcohol 120 but I read that someone got a virus from downloading it so I'm not sure about downloading it. I was then thinking of daemon tools which seems safer. Does any of you have any experince with copying a SafeDisc game? Or know how to run SafeDisc game on Windows 10? Thank you in advance! -
