Custom 4:3 Resolutions?

Recommended Posts

Hi! Long time no see!

I haven't played KOTOR since early 2020-ish and now I have a serious urge to give it another shot and I wonder whether it is possible to run KOTOR games on custom 4:3 resolutions? In my case, 1440x1080? Preferably on the GOG version of the games.

I don't know how to Google this since it always gives me tutorials for widescreen but I really want to try it the old way, it has some flavor to it honestly (just finished Warcraft 3 like that and it was awesome).

Also, if I somehow achieve it, do any mods break on 4:3 resolutions? Of course I exclude the widescreen fixes...

There are a few mods that probably assume that everyone is playing on a 16:9 widescreen nowadays.

I, like you, play at a 4:3. The possible issues are mainly aesthetics with cameras shot being framed for a 16:9 picture, from what I understand. I don't have any info instead about playing the game at 4:3 custom resolutions.

Well my best shot was to use gamescope (since I am on Linux) and just to render at 1280x1024 integer so I get black bars on the sides and thin ones above and below the game window as well. 

I honestly believe that the shooting minigame might work better on 4:3 as well due to the screen proportions. I will have to get there to know of course.

And about the camera shots being framed at 16:9, isn't that a regular feature? I gave the game like an hour or so with TSLRCM, Community Patch and N-DReW's Bug Fix Collection and the only issue I have so far with the aesthetics is how the holograms have overlapping issues which I believe is fixed in some other mod (edit: just found one lol).
