Remove Shaders from Arcana Heart 2

[cloud79]

Hi everyone,

 

I'm trying to launch Arcana Heart 2 game dump using latest TeknoParrot version.

 

Unfortunately, it seems the game has been "reshaded" somehow in order to run fine on recent 16:9 full hd monitors, while preserving aspect ratio.

Basically, the game runs into a portrait with two pink vertical side bars containing also the Game Title (take a look at the screenshot here).

My problem is that I'm running the game into a standard 4:3 CRT Arcade Monitor @31Khz with a maximum resolution of 640*480.

As you can notice, in order to preserve the two pink vertical side bars, the global image is stretched to fit the borders of my CRT 4:3 Monitor.

 

So, the question is, how to remove/crop those side vertical bars and restore the game to its original aspect ratio?

Also, I assume the problem is common with many old TeknoParrot game dumps...

 

Thanks a lot in advance.

 

Best regards.

Is there a d3d8.dll or d3d9.dll in the game folder? If yes rename them to ._dll and try
