Did you know that Tomb Raider 1-3 Remastered technically supports 4:3?

This is just a heads up for those who don't know, or are maybe curious. This remaster collection supports a wide range of aspect ratios with no additional setting changes needed. I have tested this game on 16:9, 21:9 and even a 4:3 flatscreen and the games will just work in the monitors' native aspect ratios. Try playing the game in original graphics mode with a 4:3 monitor. It will look like the OG games. HD mode works too.

Hmm now i have the Wish to see the remastered Graphics on a CRT :D

There are sreenshots of TR1 Remastered in my gallery (marked with 4:3 in the comments to make them easy to find) that were taken at 1280*1024 from a Dell 19' 4:3 LCD monitor. Direct captures, not photos. I did also try the game on a CRT VGA monitor and the classic 30FPS mode feels less laggy.

i love 4:3, how did you manage to set it?

How the modern graphics look like on the CRT monitor? Id love to see some off screen videos

There is nothing to do.

I used a VGA to DVI adaptor for the monitor. It just detected as a secondary display.

I started TR1-3R and hit "alt+enter" to go into windowed mode. I grabbed the window and moved it to my 4:3 Dell LCD monitor and hit "alt+enter" again to go back into fullscreen.

This game will just anamorphicly auto adjust to whatever aspect ratio the monitor is. There's no settings to change or con files to edit.

Oh and also. I am using Linux Mint and Proton through Steam. But id on;t think that matters.

And the Modern graphics look pretty nice in 4:3, but they look a little muddy on a CRT VGA monitor. The originals look vibrant. I think the HD graphics look better on a LCD display!

Do you mean the games? I thought these games were made from the Mac source codes? The Remastered collection seems to auto adjust to monitor refresh rates and aspect rations automatically.

No, they used the original source code. I guess the original and remastered run parallel allow it to be switched between each other. And yeah since it renders at the users current resolution, aspect ratio will be automatic as well. So if the user is current resolution is a 4:3 resolution aspect ration, it will be as so.
Very versatile, 1:1 clarity and simple.

Thanks for the technical explanation. I only made this thread to report that the classic mode can be displayed in 4:3, but you need a 4:3 monitor, or you can put the screen into windowed mode and size it to be 4:3. The collection also supports extra wide monitors too.
