Black Borders for 4:3 games
Since WBG doesnt support plugins yet i made this little app that gives a blackscreen to use with games that require a 4:3 aspect ratio.
To exit press Escape.

Exactly what I needed for Metal Gear Solid 1 on PC! Complete with the icon and everything!

I just ran this and it keeps showing the Start-button wile the rest around it is black.
On top of that, when closing "Blackie", it removed the whole task-bar visually. As in, it is there, but I can see through it and not use it except for the Start-button which is still visible and usable.

Does this work for games that only work in 16:9 while I have a 21:9 screen?

Sorry guys, after server changes it looks like the files got misplaced, fixed the link.

So, I see the last update on the main program has been three years ago, any chances for Blackie.exe functionality to be built into Windowed Borderless Gaming properly, via plugins or not, one way or the other, or is this project pretty much done and won't be getting any updates in the future?

Yes i'm actually working on implementing the capabillity of addons, we've a option for plugins, in the past, but there was a potential for users to integrate cheat software trough it, by making it a plugin so we removed the option to work on a system that doesnt just allow anything to be used as a plugin. This app is VAC safe and we'd like to keep it that way.

It's been a crazy 3 years, 2 of which i've been overseas, I just got back yesterday from Australia ;-)
So no it's not abandoned :-)

Sorry for hijacking the thread, if the app doesn't work for you here is an authotkey script achieving about the same thing

Incidentally i've been working on something much better for the past few weeks ;-)
It'll add actual borders and not just put a black window behind it. (at least that's what i think this did)
It'll also let you add bezels, and perhaps overlays so if you want scan-lines, you could do that.
And @Nathidraws it won't have an icon xD

Hiya! Just wondering if there was any news on this plan since it's been a year and this would be such an amazing option to have.
