Hi all,

I recently upgraded my PC to a widescreen TFT. The problem is I want to run some older games on the system. I am wondering if there are any utilities to crop the the display on the sides to retain the aspect ratio, similiary to cropping to letter box size for movies..

I noticed that the video players can perform this when playing non-widescreen DVDs but I like to know if there any utilities to do this for some of the older games ?

I'm at work so I don't have the link. There is a website that cover a ton of game, from old to new, and how to make them widescreen.

Just do a Google search for widescreen gaming. That's how I found the site. I'm at work, or else I would get a link for you.
