surround gaming

[Nappe1]

I'll recomend Track Mania. it is awesome and it supports narrower and wider aspect ratios than 4:3

(uses the given resolution to select FOV. )

I played Battlefield for several hours on Saturday at a LAN party...

Apart from Motion sickness I experienced for a short while when flying around, this game is simply amazing in Surround!!!!!!

Every part of the game feels so much more immersive.

Thank you so much for the hack!

deffinitely. for me battlefield has been THE best game to play on sg. I DO lvoe sg gaming but by far battlefield has that spark to make sg what sg is. absolutely amazing.

btw n/e one know if the parhelia can take vid in? like so I can hook up my playstation 2 to play games on my comp.... my bro is hoggin out 50" tv with gaycube and 24/7 cartoons. is it possibel to hook up the ps2? and if so what kinda software do I need?

[Enak]

Nope... no vid in on P.

Try a happauge card.

Game request...

Quite an old one but still gets played!

Supreme Snowboarding!

It will run in wide aspect ratios, but FOV is wrong and due to DX7 limitations resolution max is 1920x 480 unless you use software video.

Can you have a look and see if the FOV can be adjusted?

Hello,
Another one - Hot Wheels - World Race.... it's also quite old so you can get quite cheap now ... from the game set up menu you can select resolutions up to 3840x 1024 but with the usual FOV problem !

I'm sure this would be great fun in surround as the tracks are quite way-out .... loops and jumps etc.

You must run it with compatibility mode set to Win 98 (in the shortcut properties)

Cheers,

paddie ama give that hotwheels a try

[Paddy the wak]

Great ... ..... I do hope you are successful as I think it would be really good in surround with the correct FOV.

Call of Duty

I only heard about getting CAll of Duty Demo in Surround Gaming.
What is about the Full Version?
Does it run in 2400x600 aswell, any FOV problem necessary?

[Paddy the wak]

Call of Duty ... Full Version does work in surround ...
Only works at 1920x480 though .....

Find the config.cfg file in the "Main" folder of COD and edit these four lines to read ...

seta r_mode "-1"
seta r_customheight "480"
seta r_customwidth "1920"
seta cg_fov "143"

I know the resolution isn't where we would like it to be but it is way way better than playing on one monitor.... don't forget to apply FAA-16x and the HUD fix in Powerdesk.

also take a look here ...

Hi Wingie,
Is that Taxi Racer New York 2 ?
and is the texture problem a big problem ?

Cheers,
Paddywak

yeah call of duty works in sg no problem sept for the crappy res, but multiplayer it does NOT work in sg, it resets the fov every new game round :/ made it very irritating to switch this wonderfull game from single player to multiplayer and back to 1 monitor :@:@:@
