Widescreen resolution

Widescreen fix[4]
  1. Download this archive.
  2. Extract the exe pertaining to your screen aspect ratio in the game installation folder.
  3. Open TIJ.exe with a hex editor such as HxD.
  4. Press Ctrl+F and find the hex values 80 02 00 00 75 2C 81 7D D0 E0 01.
  5. Replace the 80 02 and E0 01 values with:
    • 8004 and 6003 for 1152x864
    • 0005 and D002 for 1280x720
    • 0005 and 0003 for 1280x768
    • 0005 and 2003 for 1280x800
    • 0005 and C003 for 1280x960

    • 8007 and B004 for 1920x1200
    • 000A and A005 for 2560x1440
    • More values available here
  6. Save the changes.
  7. It's recommended to set scaling mode to fullscreen in the GPU control panel to avoid issues with the UI and menus when playing in widescreen.
  8. Run the game and set 640x480 resolution.

Alternative Method

  1. If modifying the main game executable directly isn't desired, it is possible to change the screen resolution from within Windows while the game is running. This will cause the game to use this resolution for the duration of the session.

Notes

If the game modification is done incorrectly, this may corrupt the game files.

Windowed

Force windowed[5]
  1. Download and run DxWnd.
  2. Click on Edit, then Add.
  3. Set Path to any .exe file in <path-to-game>\code\exes\.
  4. Set the window position and size.
  5. Set Desktop for borderless fullscreen windowed.
  6. Click on Video tab, set Initial resolution.
  7. Type in the desktop's resolution beside it.
  8. Click on Input tab, set No mouse events generation.
  9. Click OK, then File and Save.

Notes

Each .exe file must be added to DxWnd individually.
