Laptops are wasting lots of screen space by using 16:9, but it the same for 8+ years.. there are only few new exceptions. Some 1280x800 and 1920x1200 in ultra mobile machines and some Surface Thinkpad clones etc, but they usually using some very strange akward resolution, which is not supported by …

Its not that easy, even some ATI cards drivers support that, but lots too old or too new Nvidia drivers for example for XP removed this feature, im not sure if Nvidia 9x drivers have this feature.. 4:3 monitor is less hassle, fail proof or maybe someone can make some even box cheap pass through box …

Did you make sure that your desktop color mode matches the game color mode? If the game runs in 16 bit color, then set your desktop to 16 bit color. Yeah is not such simple and these sort of games usually complain when color depth mode is not right for them.

If you mean some unofficial 3D Drivers, its probably hardest task as you can get.. and nobody yet done it.. even Vmware Windows 98 driver is 2D only, Virtualbox had some very basic experimental Direct3D patch in the past.. if remember correctly but it wasnt good.. There is only some small hack to …
