Ultra-widescreen hack

Open the .exe with a hex editor such as HxD.
Replace 39 8E E3 3F with one of the following:
26 B4 17 40 for 2560x1080
8E E3 18 40 for 3440x1440
9A 99 19 40 for 3840x1600
Save the changes.

Afraid no ultrawide mate, I can kinda see why since it's mostly prerendered anime cutscenes. Puzzle sequence had black bars even though I set the resolution to my 2560x1080.

Im okay with blackbars as long as it's not stretched without option to change it. Thanks!

Yeah it's not stretched at all, it goes into my resolution but just has bars on the side. I think I'll just hook up my pc to the tv for this one. it's a controller game anyway. I was actually impressed to see they've added the japanese audio for this release :) Norio Wakamoto will bless my ears once again.

Dang it, would be nice to have unlocked aspect ratio =\

It's not the end of the world though. I'm really happy that we got the game on PC at all, and in the end, it's a port of a very, very old game, so yeah, I can't be mad about it not supporting ultrawide ^^

I've tried to modify the EXE with some success, but I'm not an expert by any means. The gameplay and ingame cutscenes look quite good in ultrawide, but every 2D element and anime videos look stretched. Let's hope someone in the WSGF manages to fix it.

im all for ultrawide support, i used to have one.

but dude...come on, you have to realise that this is originally a PS3 game, you should no theres no way there going out of there way to add in ultrawide support.

best anyone will do with a consol game to pc is just make sure it works and runs well then ship it..

Youve got to be crazy to think anyone would go out of there way to do anything like add ultrawide support.

I've tried the hex editor without success, could you help me?

This is why I gave up on surround . 5780x1080 look great , when supported . However , I replaced it with an ultrawide myself w/HDR 2580x1080@75hz . It can go to 1440p also !

No one is complaining, just exchanging information, I'm almost sure we all agree that the game being ported to pc is already great.
Also, you would be surprised by the amount of ancient games that supports ultrawide (because they support various aspect ratios) properly lol
Another thing, developers have gone out of their way to add ultrawide to their games, even monster hunter world (which is a Capcom game, and they never cared about UW) will add support on the next title update (this month I think)

TL DR
Nobody is complaining, everyone (so far) is happy with the game being on PC
