Widescreen Gaming Forum

Okay it seems like all of us have changed in game settings before trying the hex editor which may be messing with it.

Has anyone attempted the hex editor before ever changing the in game settings?

Or has anyone tried to uninstall and reinstall the game to do it?

I would do it, but i am afraid to lose my franchise save.

I did it and didn't lose anything... It was suposed to replace 800x600 so I just changed it back to 1600x1200 and the game looks ok.. NOt as great as 1680x1050 would =D

Please could someone confirm it works by showing us some screenshots ... :wink:

Already tried this, the game resets the .ini to 800 x 600 whenever you input a widescreen resolution, checked both the menus and the gameplay (still stretch)

Does not work. Please put that guy on probation for false posts =D

Madden 07 uses an internal database for its settings, so even if the .ini file is deleted, it's able to write back a default .ini file.

I am assuming this is in settings.db - has anyone checked this file out? The path should be C:Documents and SettingsMy DocumentsMadden NFL 07Systemsettings.db

I might give this a shot later today, but wanted to throw it out there in case anyone else wanted to try. It should go without saying that the original should be backed up, and you'll need a hex editor.

While I agree that the settings.db file may have some answers within it, we need a program that is capable of opening this file for editing. I tried to open it with some of the programs out there that have been designed to edit EA Sports files, but none of them worked. If you find one that works though, let me know.

I can LIVE with 1600 x 1200 in this game if I have to, but I would love to find a way to get it up to 1920 x 1200.

I don't know of any programs written specifically to open this file. The programs written to edit EA Sports and other proprietary file formats are written by using a hex editor to decipher the file first.

i can open the file with notepad but changing the resolution settings doesnt work

tried it with tw07, nhl07, and madden07

I too got the samw error, I am usinga Gateway 21' fpd2185w and the game launches in a tiny screen in the middle?? Any thoughts?
