Racer_S Hacks
Racer_S (who runs http://www.tocaedit.com/) is probably the most prolific widescreen and Surround hacker on the Internet. He is responsible for more high profile FOV and Camera hacks that anyone else, including hacks for the GTA series, the NFS series, the Race Driver series, Tomb Raider Anniversary and Just Cause. This page is an officially approved collection and mirror of all of his patches.

Rainbow Six: Las Vegas Widescreen .bin Hack
Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic
With the UniWS and the new HUD Hacks, we now have full widescreen support for SW:KOTOR - All made possible by the WSGF. Hit the KOTOR Hack page for all of the details, and links to the HUD files.
Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II
Stevedroid has created new HUD files that fix the map stretching issue in the HUD. Overall, the HUD still stretches, but this removes the glaring flaw of the map not showing the player's actual position. There are HUD files for 16:9 and 16:10. Unzip and place the mipc28x6_p.gui file in the Override folder found under your main KOTOR 2 installation directory.
Tell Tale Games Custom Resolution Tool
Forum member Derrick created a custom resolution tool for episodic adventures made by Tell Tale Games. Visit the Tell Tale Games Custom Resolution Tool Page for more information, and to download the patcher.
Warhammer 40k: Dawn of War, Patch v1.3
Version 1.3 was the last version of "Warhammer 40: Dawn of War" to properly support widescreen (with the camera hack), as well as modding. Version 1.4 broke widescreen support, without providing any real "bug fixes."
To ensure that gamers always have access to widescreen gameplay, we are now hosting v1.3 of the patch. Please note that the "Winter Assault" expanion does force the game up to version 1.4. But, if you still want to play the original in widescreen, the game does allow multiple installs.
You can download the v1.3 patch here.

WSGF Utilities
FOV Calc
FOVCalc was written to aid in determining the best field of view (FOV) for games that require setting the FOV in the .ini configuration file. The stand-along application is no longer in development. For more info on what was, hit the FOV Calc Page. Development is still active on the web-based FOV Calc tool, which is hosted here at the WSGF. FOV Calc.
Game Resolution Switcher
What is Game Resolution Switcher? Game resolution switcher is something I came up with to get rid of an annoyance when gaming on different monitors. While for most people this isn't common, I prefer to game on a bigger screen at home, then the laptop screen when I lug my system to a friends house. This utility allows you to quickly switch the resolution a game runs at to match the desktop resolution.
In the future, it will also allow picking other resolutions without launching the game. In the end, this becomes a timesaver for games that require you to dig into a menu, then quit and relaunch to change the resolution. In addition to the GUI method of changing the resolution, you can also add the program to your startup items so it will change every game quickly and silently. For more info, hit this page.
