I struck gold in the youtube comments section. For years I've been looking for a "Beginner's Guide to Widescreen Hacking" and I finally found it. Youtube user AuToMaNiAk005 wrote a very nice explanation on how he hacks games. You should read the whole thing, paste it into a text file and keep it forever. I've tried hacking a few games with this information, but the only success I've had so far was with Lego Island 2. Like most widescreen hacks, it's not perfect. Some objects will disappear on the edges and the HUD is stretched. And sometimes you'll find weird stuff, like a Brickster-Bot that has been creeping in the main menu the entire time. This also solves another problem I've had: Every time I start the game it runs at 640 x 480. The game seems to always start with the lowest supported resolution. But if you replace every possible resolution with just the one you want, it will start up with that one instead. If anyone is interested, here are the offsets that I found: Both English Versions: - 640 at 0x529D, 480 at 0x52A4 - 800 at 0x52B2, 600 at 0x52B9 - 1024 at 0x52C7, 768 at 0x52CE - 1280 at 0x52DC, 1024 at 0x52E3 - FOV at 0xA495 Note that matching width and height values are 7 bytes apart. Two pairs of resolutions are 21 bytes apart (the difference between 640 location and the 800 location) Spanish Version: - 640 at 0x52FD, 480 at 0x5304 - (I didn't write down the rest. See the note above.) - FOV at 0xA765 I've updated the LI2 Mod Manager tool with a built-in custom resolution setting. (And built-in load time fix, and no intro videos hack.) So far it works with both English versions and a Spanish version. If it does not work for you, send me a message and I'll look into it. I want to make it compatible with every version.
