Hiii !!

I'm glad you're interested, but it's a bit complicated to explain, so I'll do my best:

the first step is to install the maniac patch, if you need help with the installation don't hesitate to let me know! once that's done, creating a game with a different screen ratio is very simple: in your game's folder you have a RPG_RT.ini file. Open it with any text editor, just be careful not to change the format to .txt or anything else, and in it, below “MapEditZoom=0”, add 2 lines:

WinW=X

WinH=X

In place of the X, write the number of pixels you wish to have on your screen. By default, it seems to me that rpg maker 2k3 uses 240*320pixels. To get as close as possible to a 16:9 screen, the resolution of yume nikki 16:9 is 240*416 pixels. Save RPG_RT.ini and if the maniac patch is correctly installed and applied to your game, you're done! Please note, however, that dialogue bubbles will sometimes react strangely with a different resolution, and combat may also have display problems. Note also that if you want to change the resolution of an existing game made on rpg maker 2k3, you run the risk of breaking a lot of maps, animations or events that aren't designed for it! a big part of the work I did on yume nikki 16:9 was to modify a lot of the game's events so that they work in 16:9.

For the menu, it's more complicated, and I strongly advise you not to read my script and try to understand what I've done, because I've done it really badly, and today I'm crying looking at my script on this T v T project.  If need be, I can explain it to you elsewhere than in comments on itchio. If you'd like to check out the script of a menu that's probably better done and inspired by mine, the latest version of the Someday fangame by jojogape contains one! https://jojogape.itch.io/someday( and it's a really good fangame)

Rpg maker 2k3 and the maniac patch are simple tools, but they're sorely lacking in documentation, especially the maniac patch. For the maniac patch, if you want to understand it better, I recommend this site in Polish using a translator. It's a real goldmine on how maniac patch works, even if it's based on older versions. https://www.rmteka.pl/maniacs-patch-rm2k3/

if needed you can contact me on twitter (Youli_Nikki) or Bluesky (youlinikki) !

I hope I've helped !!!!!
