Ultrawide
10 years ago i had a 2k LG ultrawide monitor, no need for software, account, internet it was an excellent monitor able to display two video inputs side by side. Now i own a Samsung Odyssey G9, it was the best value i could find with the panel type (4k+240hz Oled) cheep as i bought returned stock from Ebay, monitor is practically new with film over the screen and not even a finger print, all accessories were included. turn the monitor on once all is connected find half the settings are greyed out, clicking on them brings up a connection screen, i have no intention to connect this device to the internet, i was wanting to use the monitor as a dumb monitor. anyway i looked for the dual input setting but could not find it, checked manual and i must use multi-view, multi-view demands networking :/ being too stubborn i will forgo the feature. this is a kind of PSA and general *removed* but if your looking for a full featured ultrawide dumb monitor then its not the g9 as for whatever reason key features are locked behind networking, others are inbedded in a mobile companion app which needs an account maybe even a mobile number IIRC- as having this app on a SMART MONITOR would make little sense.. one feature that is in the companion app is a statistical screen displaying screen calibration information, something that is necessary for Oled screen and is included and easily accessible in most other brands monitors as it allows the user to have a rough idea of the monitors life span. another nagging issue with the G9 is the screen off and on, it takes awhile about 5 seconds from powering on pc from sleep, secondary monitor is almost instant so its a G9 issue and once the monitor is on a big bar takes up a large portion of the screen for a further 5 seconds displaying useless information, FPS, FreeSynce, picture mode, hdr, virtual aim point and game settings. it just awkwardly sits there defiantly in its vulgarity, ugly "gamer" design cooked up by some boomer. i will begrudgingly use the g9 whilst keeping an eye out for an off brand dumb monitor like AlienWear's offering with the same panel tech.
There are a number of older posts across reddit and other boards talking about ways to get 3440x1440 working on the Odyssey G9. Unfortunately most methods mentioned in these guides and discussions don't seem to work for me in 2023. Does anybody have currently working method of achieving this? Thanks!

Launch the game into the main menu so it creates its config files then close it. 2. Extract the MoguriMod file, and run the installation (MoguriMod_8.3.0.0.exe), select the where the Steam game is installed and proceed with the installation. 3. Extract both files from SRWE download to desktop and run the program. 4. Start Final Fantasy IX with the launcher. 5. In the launcher make sure "Widescreen (16:9)" is checked. 6. Set Resolution to 2560x1440 (1920x1080 might work and 3840x2160 too but not tested) then set Window mode to "Borderless Fullscreen", you might have to lower your desktop refresh rate to see more resolutions. 7. Click Play to start the game. 8. Go back to SRWE with Alt tab and click "Select running application" and choose FF9.exe in the list the click open. 9. Click the the checkbox next to FINAL FANTASY IX on the left of the window or click load profile and use one of the presets bellow at the end of the installation. 10. If you use one of the presets bellow you can just use or tweak them (results depends on your resolution), if so ignore the rest of the steps. 11. If you want to manually tweak it it works as like this: - X: Moves game horizontally (you can use negative values), after changing the number press the set button on the right. Negative value (-100 for example) moves game left, normal value moves game right. - Y: Moves game vertically (don't use this) - Width: This is what you will use to make the game fill your screen while adjusting "X" to keep it centered, start with your desktop Width for this value - Height: Make sure this value is the same as your desktop height resolution (1080p, 1440p etc), always. - Scale: Keep this value at 1 **Abusing the Width value will start stretching, keep this in mind especially if you are a 32:9 user, it might be better to still have a bit of extra black bars on the sides and have most of the screen without stretching.** ___ **Presets** 21:9 3440x1440 Centered (Recommended): https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/695270903474552914/925560023814377522/FF9_Centered.xml 21:9 3440x1440 Adjusted: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/695270903474552914/925560023642439680/FF9.xml 32:9 3840x1080 Adjusted (You might have to tweak it, still recommended to do it manually then save a profile since most 32:9 users seem to be 5120x1440): https://discord.com/channels/695270902857859152/695270903474552914/925593884543823922 ___ **Issues** [1] Issue: My Game still has black bars in some maps even after adjusting. [1] Not an issue: The game uses prerendered backgrounds, when these backgrounds have been fully displayed there is nothing else to show, that is how games used to be back then [2] Issue: My Screenshots come out as 16:9 [2] Solution: Use Windows Snipping Tool by pressing Win Key+Shift+S, then select the area, open Paint (or image editing software) and paste the image there and save, unsure if PrintScreen key works.

Go to the game folder then go to \APK\Binaries\Win64 2. pen the SUWSF rar file and drag the files into the Win64 folder. 3. Download the file from this post and drop it on thw Win64 folder, overwrite when asked. Play. ___ **Tweaking FOV:** Open the SUWSF.ini and find: > Value="(pi / 360) * (aspectratio / (16/9)) *1.0" And adjust *1.0 at the end, examples: > Value="(pi / 360) * (aspectratio / (16/9)) *0.9" > Value="(pi / 360) * (aspectratio / (16/9)) *1.1" Then save and start the game again.
Video Guide: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dKtzROwzyz8 ___ This works for 21:9 and should work for 32:9 as well, so long as you have the right values for 32:9. **Things needed:** - Persona 5 Strikers - Reshade - Cheat Engine ___ 1. Install Reshade to game folder and in Shaders list select Fubax-shaders, in the next screen select AspectRatio.fx and proceed to the next step which should get reshade installed. 2. Start game, load game, main menu, doesn't matter. 3. Open reshade configuration and make sure Aspect Ratio shader is checked (make sure it's not in performance mode (tiny checkbox at bottom right of the window)), then at bottom of Reshade window find the AspectRatio.fx and set the slide of "Correct proportions" to 0.343 (Credits to Katak) -- For 32:9 keep moving the slider Until it reaches the Edge of the screen. 4. [Download the script](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1XnXmDNlpZO29ZORxb0Ten730ySz0UUmY/view?usp=sharing) for Cheat Engine , double click the script file, then in Cheat Engine press the Monitor icon and select Persona 5 Strikers, select yes in the window that appears and then at the bottom of the CE window click the 4 checkboxes. 5. Click the Value of 1.777777... of "Game Aspect Ratio" at the bottom of Cheat Engine, and set to 2.333333333 or 2.34 and press enter -- this should fix the Aspect Ratio for 21:9, for 32:9 you have to change this value until you get it right (sorry don't have a 32:9 to test). 6. You can click the Value for the UI and set it to the same value of "Game Aspect Ratio" and it will look like 16:9 not stretched, or you can leave default so it stretches.
