PES in widescreen?

[Titch]

I recentyl bought a widescreen 16:10 monitor...is there any way to change the resolution to fit?

maybe something along the lines of 1680 x 1050

 

[Titch]

anyone?

i have a laptop with a 15,4 widescreen tft, and i play in 1280x800 (best resolution suported by the monitor). You just need to change it in the screen options ingame.

lauch the 'settings.exe' app and check

i play pes on my widescreen tv on the ps2 and it annoys me greatly cos the players are all squashed up and fat. They should have a widescreen mode! I mean most people have them now...

Playing on widescreen sucks... We have a big plasma screen downstairs, and the ball moves really fast and you completely lose orientation and stuff...

 

[Titch]

anything guys?

 

[CtrlAltDel]

nada

as for the tv boys, switch your tv to 4x3 mode
i've done that for a few ps2 games, granted most are fine

Darn...didn't know PES4 doesn't go widescreen on a plasma 16:9!! Hopefully some of the newer games like GT4 will!

Can you play in a window Titch? Maybe that will help.

I play PES4 on my widescreen TV with no problem at all.

I just change the picture mode to 16:9 and it's crystal clear.

I recycle this old thread: are there any news about this trouble?
I have to play the PES5 demo on my widescreen OR in a 1024x768 window (and all becomes very small) OR stretched to fit all the panel...
Can I hope for a widescreen feature in full game?

I have a Samsung 32" Wide Screen since March and I change the size of the screen from Wide to Panorama , and its the perfect thing to do when I´m not playing Xbox that is the only thing that fit well on the Wide resolution , I dont know if all the TV´s support this but its good for the PS2 better than de 4 X 3 .

Also works on PC connecting via S-Video , and if you keep with your problem on the PC Widescreen Monitor , search on Download.com ther is some few programs that fit your image into your monitor i cannot recomend one because i dont have a widescreen monitor on my PC , good luck.

 

[JunMisugi]

ther is some few programs that fit your image into your monitor

How do they work? Do they stretch, do they crop?
Because PES is not able to produce a 16:10 image, right? :unsure:

That's not because of the widescreen, but the relatively low resolution of your tv screen.
Plasma tv's have no greater resolution that any good normal tv screen, since all tv's are made with broadcast resolution in mind - not dvd/movie resolution.

Computer screens are meant to run a much higher resolution at a much higher refresh rate. So playing on a tv (any tv) always means a sacrifice in frames per sec and refresh rate, and so on.

If you take the actual game out of it, Konami seem to spend little time on options like widescreen or surround sound for that matter. Although this dont take anything away from the game it wouldnt hurt to bring these things in to add more to the overall atmosphere. Along with better commentary. Its time Konami leave the limitations of the PS2 and bring the game forward a few years to implement the new hardware

Keep in mind that I am using NTSC standards here.
You have no clue what you are talking about. I don't want to explain it all so I will use sources.

native resolution - The resolution at which a TV or monitor is designed to display images. Image signals higher or lower than a specified native resolution must be converted to be displayed accurately. For example, a TV with a native resolution of 1080i can display 1080i images but may upconvert 480p images to 1080i. In contrast, a TV with a native resolution of 480p must downconvert a 1080i signal to 480p for display. CRT-based projection TVs can have more than one native resolution, but fixed-pixel displays such as LCD and DLP are limited to display one resolution and convert all others.

The fix is in
Welcome to the confusing world of fixed-pixel displays. All fixed-pixel TVs--including every flat-panel LCD and plasma as well as rear-projection microdisplays that use DLP, LCD, and LCoS technology--have a certain number of pixels, known as the native resolution, that they use to create the picture. With these types of displays, the native resolution is the absolute limit on the amount of detail you'll see. Fixed-pixel displays follow a few basic rules:

1. No matter the resolution of the source material, whether VHS, DVD, or HDTV, a fixed-pixel display will always convert, or scale, it to fit its native resolution.
2. If the incoming source has more pixels than the display's native resolution, you will lose some visible detail and sharpness, though often what you're left with still looks pretty good.
3. If the incoming source has fewer pixels than the native resolution, you're not getting any benefit from the extra resolution. In almost every case, extra pixels will not make a lower-resolution source look better. All other things being equal, the same DVD shown on an EDTV plasma and an HDTV plasma will have the same amount of detail.

Now that you might grasp some of this, I will start by making a guide to TV's.
SDTV - Standard Definition Television, displays 480i only
EDTV - Enhanced Definition Television, displays both 480i and 480p
HDTV - High Definition Television, displays 480i, 480p, and 720p or 1080i or both.

Plasma TV's are only EDTV's or HDTV's making your staement false as they are both higher resolutions than any SDTV or as you put, "any good normal TV"

Broadcast TV is in 480i, for SDTV's. Some stations also have 720p and 1080i available for those who own HDTV's. DVD's are in 480p.
The PS2 can do both 480i and 480p (1080i for GT4 only) if the developer programs the game to have the option. PES has no option for 480p and is only 480i, meaning that when played on a TV with a native resolution of 480p or higher, the game might look worse as the image is being upscaled for the TV's native resolution.
