Black and White in widescreen

[Hammer]

A lot of people have widescreen monitors today. I didn't see it anywhere on Kayssplace, so I thought I'd share this tweak for Black and White.

It's nice playing this old game I love in widescreen now.

That site is now closed but here is the relevant info.

For widescreen resolutions outside of those shown in the setup program. use regedit to navigate to this key:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Lionhead Studios Ltd\Black & White\BWSetup.
Look for two DWORD values in this key called ScreenH and ScreenW which are screen height and screen width .

Select the decimal  button for the base and enter your desired screen width and height in each DWORD.
1680×1050. works well for me other resolutions by trial and error.
