So my friend recently just got Starcraft and Broodwar but he plays on a widescreen monitor. I've been searching for the custom resolution tweaks but so far all my results have yielded downloads that are no longer hosted.

Can someone link me to a currently working widescreen fix?

There is none. As there are no tweaks for D2/D1 widescreen as well.

if you want to keep the aspect ratio then there are 2 options:

1. Play on windowed mode with iCCup Launcher, with the size of the window 2x. If the window becomes too big to the point the it is cropped, try to adjust your desktop resolution higher (with the same native aspect ratio of your monitor). If you have a VGA software installed (such as nVidia Control Panel), try to create your own resolution to make it fit.

2. Whenever you go play BW, change your monitor aspect ratio to 4:3 on OSD.

You can change ur gfx card driver settings to switch to 4:3 whenever bw is played.

A little off topic, but d2 is pixel based and there is a hack to run it highres/widescreen.
Wouldn't try to play on bnet, but it works.

I have an AMD card and I do not see any feature to adjust aspect ratio for specific profiles.

Someone made a Resolution Expander hack for BW. Although the original DL link is dead for it, I found it on my harddrive.
DL linku: http://www.mediafire.com/?dteslfhkl6odszk

Extract it, open the ResSettings.ini file and change ScreenWidth and ScreenHight values to whatever you want and then run it. Should work fine.

Although I should say that if you plan on playing on iccup, I don't think you can use this and chaos launcher at the same time. Also it'd probably set off any anti-hack you'd have to use.

Shouldn't this be in tech support?

Meh

Quick and easy fix... Take a pair of some really sharp scissors and simply cut the monitor to the correct size. It shouldn't need more than an inch or two from the left and right before it is a perfect square.
Why?
