Would it be possible to make one for XP that retains a custom resolution? Because it hasn't been done yet (from my searching) and it would be very helpful :)

Great script by the way :thumb:

It's different and more complicated for XP, I've started one but not finished yet.

This is quite useful, light and pretty much plug and play...

I made something a little while ago this could profit from for Raven's game... when I get back home, I'll look into that and shove it in here if I'm right, and maybe you have a use for it :)

This is great, big fan of anything using Win32 to edit the functionality of the engine.

I tried this and the intro video I had was playing in the regular small window in the upper left hand corner.

I'm using VX Ace.

**Location:** France

Well yes, scripts that display video and scripts that take screenshot may be incompatible. :/

I´m new to RPG Maker VX and RGSS, can someone explain me how to use the script and where I have to put it?
I tried to copy the script in an empty script in RPG Maker but nothing happen. I think there is something else I have to do.

Thanks

Press F5 to use the new fullscreen mode. And RTFM ;)

Thank you for this script. This is a very good mod to the way full screen is handled. The old way was so horrible compared to this.

Have you finished the XP version of this? I'd even be willing to help you create it. I'm pretty familiar with coding for XP, but I don't know alot about the Win32 calls. :smile:

I want a script that will fullscreen an RPGXP game, while maintaining the 3:4 aspect ratio by placing black borders at the sides. With my widescreen monitor, it stretches to 16:9, and this looks terrible.

**Location:** France

No I haven't continued it, I prefer to work on more useful scripts.
I mean, nowadays 16/9 monitors can handle 4/3 diplay without stretching and/or graphics cards have a "fit in" option too.
