hi guys!!

Besides my main problem of not having the sound controller detected by windows, I’m having another hard time here…

my games won’t run fullscreen. they are running on a compressed little square in the center of the monitor, no matter the resolution I choose in the game setup . why is that?

thanx for the attention, and best regards.

You’ll have to choose a res that fits the TR’s 5:3 aspect ratio… if you did that, it could be the game you’re playing.  Try a different one and see if the wide ratio works on it.

i think the aspect ratio is 4:3. but that’s just poking at sticks. Anywho, even if a game doesn’t support widescreen, you can always ‘cheat’ using the magnify button (the button on the lower right side of the screen with the magnifying glass on it) to ‘expand’ the games into a widescreen aspect ratio.  However, the only drawback for this is that it’s basically out of proportion, and most characters/menus will now appear flat.  Just try it out, you may/may not like it.

Hit Ctrl + F while running the game and it will go full screen.

actually, I think TR’s aspect ratio is 16:9. anyway, the games are going fullscreen, but they run in this little square in the center, surrounded by black. the zoom button doesn’t work for that, and using Ctrl+F don’t do it either.

1280/768= 1.666666
15/9=1.6666666

15/9 = 5/3 so the aspect ratio of the TR is 5:3.

ooooooh yeah!!
