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. -

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. -
