Monitor got fried during a power outage...
My old monitor, had it for 10 years, died yesterday after a power outage in my neighborhood. Was working just fine, then the power went out. When they fixed the problem, my monitor wouldn't power up.
So I took the VGA cable from my monitor and connected it to my TV. Worked like a dream. No audio though. So I had to run out and pick up a 6ft 3.5mm audio cable. And while I was at it, I picked up a moderately priced wireless keyboard and mouse.
Now I'm using my TV as a monitor and speakers. And there's just a few final concerns. It's a widescreen. Do I need to track down widescreen patches for all my older games?
For instance, I have BGtutu installed, up to ToB, with the G3 fix and tweak packs insalled. I think one of them has widescreen support options. But which one?
I know Torment has a widescreen patch, and I have that one, but what about Morrowind, Starcraft and the Warcrafts?
If I can't find widescreen patches will the game simple stretch to fill the screen, or will I have a letter box effect?
