Though the game utilizes SVGA graphics, the videos are 320x240, thus the player IS stretching them to fit the screen this gives me hope that the same can be done for Torin's Passage (although the aspect ratio of the Torin's Passage videos will mean there will always be black bars above and below the videos).ġ. Another game I own, Leisure Suit Larry 7, uses this format AND plays the videos in full screen. Other games utilized the VMD video format, and videos extracted from these games can be played using a vmdplayer which can be downloaded from. According to the data determining how to display the video is contained in a header that would seem to be part of the. VMD format (Video and Music Data, apparently) and have a native resolution of 316x158, thus being twice as wide as it is high. I'll divide my findings between the two games as they are different in how they were constructed (even though the issue at hand is pretty much identical. To this end I've done some more research. I guess my goal in creating this thread was to see if there might be any way to improve the experience today, even if it might not be 100% faithful to the original. I do understand that when the games came out the impetus was to ensure compatibility across a wide array of computers with specs far below those of modern computers, and thus playing videos in a tiny window was probably a great idea. I'm wondering if there might be a way to edit the game so that it plays them in a larger window. The videos definitely play at a small size natively. Thanks for taking a look! Reply 1 of 12, by Gamecollector Here is the resource.cfg for Torin's Passage: Has anyone else figured out how to resize the videos in either of these games to play fullscreen like the rest of the game?įor reference, I am running these in DosBox 0.74, Windows 7 64-bit. I tried some different values for VideoSpeed in Torin's passage (the default is 0, I tried 1, -1, and 500) but it made no difference. I've looked at the resource.cfg files for both games and will post both at the bottom of this message, but I can't find anything that would seem to make a difference in the size of the videos. I've installed both in DosBox and the gameplay is fine, but the video cutscenes in both games play in a very small window on my screen. I've got Torin's Passage and King's Quest 7 on CD and was hoping to relive some old gaming memories.
