Essential improvements
Sui's fix
- A simple wrapper made to simplify running the game on widescreen monitors.
- Fire Warrior is stretched when using a non-4:3 resolution. Sui's fix compensates by increasing the FOV, though the image will still be somewhat stretched and distorted. The WSGF.com solution provides a more accurate image, but requires a hex editor.
