Programs not runnig because of WVGA ? Not anymore ! W VGA FIX 2

[fotoingo]

Hey !
A while ago I owned a Toshiba G900 which also had a WVGA Screen.
Many programms had problems with this screen especially emulators.

So I searched and found -WVGA FIX- a programm written from Cotulla for the G900 which emulates a VGAscreen. So I was able to use mostly every program.

A week ago I received my X1 and tried WVGA Fix ! It didnt work...
After some searching i found a improved Version -WVGA FIX 2- now supporting all WM 5, 6, 6.1 and WVGA devices.

This little Program virtually "cuts" the pixels bigger than VGA from your device.
Dont get scared.. This only happens as long as you run the program.
Those pixels get black and the program emulates a VGA screen.
When you choose to get back to WVGA everything is fine again :-)

So most programms (not only emulators) will work fine on our nice WVGA screen.

I thought some people here will love this tool too.

PS:Install the cert first, then WVGA FIX2 second.

Cheers !

All credits for this tool -> Cotulla

that helps quite a bit with the emulators. however my main issue is the performance. with sound all the games run really slow. which emulator do you guys use and how do they run performance wise?

another question regarding wvga-fix.:
when i activate it the clicks arent registerd in the right location anymore. its quite hard to start programs then and navigate. that could be an issue with scumm and games that require on screen navigation

this program will be uber great if only it has somekind of profiles to automatically switch between wvga and vga mode whenever specific programs executed.

1. I play play most games without sound. Works really nice. With sounds some emulators can lag. Try to find "your" best settings ;-)

2. The clicks (when using programs ! ) are in the right places. Scumm and everything else will work fine. This happens only in WVGA-FIX-2.

Greets !

Haha, that would be nice but at the current state it still helps a LOT ;-)

Maybe someone will develop something like that ?

I don't think this works for me
When I run VGA games they just shrink to the default VGA size and I'm left with about a quarter of my screen black at the bottom
The games run perfect but they do not fill the screen.
Is this app supposed to reduce the resolution of the X1 to VGA and therefore make VGA games etc run full screen?
What are the 2 cabs for???
