Actually, 1280x1024 is one of the few 5:4 ratios in existence, which is why it's one of the worst things ever invented.

Strangely enough, most games have a native format of 1280x??? which is excellent for me, especially if they don't support scaling (I don't mind the stretch that much). But I can see how it's a bad thing to have from a dev's point of view.

The games only allow you to pick a resolution as high as your monitor's. Also, some games actually place a "(native)" marker next to your monitor's native resolution; most of Valve's games do. The resolutions it displays are not pre-built into the game.

Not to sound opinionated, but it should be seen as a bad thing from everyone's point of view. :p

You think my format is terrible? I always enjoyed the "squared" displays to play videogames on my PC but that's just my personal opinion. I only use the widescreen format for my home consoles.

Technically yes, as you get a larger field of view with a wider screen. 16:9 is unconditionally the best standard format for gaming.

Well, at least 20 years ago nobody was minding to play in squared CRTs in their home consoles.

I know, tech evolved and gaming too. Its understandable, but I won't change my display for a 16:9 as long as it keeps doing its duty.

The progress is well going! I finished the Patch-only variant.

Does anybody of you knows a good hoster? I finished the first build for public testing.

Why not sharing it in DropBox? Just a suggestion.

OK. Cool I will share the link when the upload completes.

Hopefully it will work with my Rayman Collector game.

Sure thing. But cuz I didn't have the french or english version of 60 nouveux indetits this game is the only one which is not 100% french or english. (I JUST NEED THE FILES IN PCMAP NOTHING MORE) If I had this..

First public version is up.

OK I finished the Configurator. It will be later included to the setup files. Would be great if a couple of people test that.

Configuration.exe (3,37MB)

Just a question, do I use that exe file anyplace I want or does it needs to be in a specific folder?

Yes. You can place it anywhere.

What did you want us to test about it? I can select a few options in it, yes. That works fine. When I close it, though, nothing special happens. Was something supposed to happen?

It doesn't seem to do anything to my game either.

The Configurator does the settings for my Rayma Mega Patch. Does it do something on my Patch?

I don't own the Patch...

Oh, look, Haruka, what I found on the first post!

Derp boon for us on missing that.

Then he edited posteriorly. I'll check this later.

That's a very awkward use of that word. "Then he edited it just now" would work fine - better to keep it simple.

I'll give this patch a try.

Thanks for the dropbox upload, I'll be giving it a run as well!
