There should be two registry keys that do it. Not sure what they are (don't have the game installed, and can't remember what they were from the solution). But I know it can be done.

Try typing GTA into Find in Regedit - of course, as always, registry editing is at your own risk. :)

This is the registry key you want:
Code:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREDMA Design LtdGTA2Screen

Then you should find the references:

"window_width" and "window_height" and change them to the res you want.

Thanks for the trick. The games looks fine in widescreen when you first try it!

Unfortunatly, if you attempt to get a mission by phone, only the first line of text is displayed, which makes the game unplayable...
Here's what I'm talking about :


Did I miss something?
