I'm actually quite satisfied that the calculations I've got are correct. If for example you plug some values into the widescreen FOV calculator I linked, going from 800x600 with fov 90 to something weird like 800x480, it gives an equivalent FOV of 102.68038349182, which my code calculates 102.68038 for, and maintains the same vertical FOV (68.038696) in both cases.

This isn't a theory - I've cross-checked it with multiple different sources, going from widescreen to non-widescreen, and with variable sbar heights, and it's consistent in all cases. Using 640x432 as a baseline maintains the same vertical FOV for all different values of sbar height too, which is also important to get right.

My code is also consistent for "tallscreen" modes like 300x676, making horizontal FOV constant but allowing vertical FOV to stretch the height, and again it maintains the same FOV for all values of sbar height. I haven't yet checked how the QuakeSpasm code behaves in that scenario, but even though nobody will ever actually use such a mode, it is important for verifying correctness.

... I was able to duplicate the 4:3 scaling error. Looks like attempting to scale to 16:9 on a native 4:3.

Regarding FOV, the expectation is that fov_x would be the same at all video aspects, with or without sbar. In other words the view is cropped vertically rather than horizontally in all cases. This is seen in the animations.

Fortunately the Mobility died on my switchable graphics HP, and when the Intel took over I realized it had a 1366x768 mode for testing.

aspect ratio correction and GDI non-power-of-two really fixed this time. Probably.

Why does it need to be a setup program?

[qbism]

A zip is also available . Installer is easier for most users.

[Spirit]

Any chance that you could add the (zipped) source to the zip? Or provide a accompanying standalone source zip for each release?

[qbism]

For a source code zip, click on "download snapshot".
The "history" link will allow browsing and snapshot download at any previous release.

sorry to dig up an old thread but
mh's method pertains IF the sbar is NOt an overlay?
so the quakespasm code should work only if the sbar is an overlay
