I just want to play in a rectangle instead of a box, and, despite my shitty PC still being able to run Cave Story +, the original lags heavily.
How can I play with 14:9 fullscreen support, and how do I fix the occasional lag? (

Alright, Crotchstick, I'm here to help. First of all, are you talking about widescreen in Cave Story+ or in the original?
If you're talking about +, the Steam version does not use widescreen. There's not an option for it or anything.
If you're talking about the original game, there are a few ways to go about doing this. One way is to play a fan project such as Doukutsu.rs, since that supports widescreen by default. Another way is through Clownacy's Mod Loader, which is a dll that is has options such as widescreen, changing the ost, and several other things. Depending on what you wanna do, I can help you from there. Do any of these interest you?

Thx. Now I won't have to play with a boxed screen. (The occasional lag is still to be dealt with though.)

I assume that lag you're talking about is Cave Story's default 50fps the original vanilla version had. It's not lag, the original game ran at 50fps so that it would be able to run on every computer back in the time it first came out. Clownacy's mod loader lets you set it to 60fps.
I mean, unless you are like those goofy goobers who ENJOY playing Cave Story at 50fps....silly geese

Nah, I have 60fps set to true, and it still lags.

You have the sound.dll in the main directory, yes?

dsound.dll? Yes, I do. (Unless you meant something else.)

No, I meant that. I guess the framerate thing is a mystery, you might have to continue to fiddle around in the graphics_enhancement to see what works. Either way though, please enjoy your new copy of Cave Story!
