About This File

 

Yeahhhh..... this took ages.... it usually does.

This project aims to present GC games in 16:9 to everyone, as easily as possible. Just drop Pre Configured files into Dolphin and enjoy. No need to setup yourself.

Part 2 is here, and man did it almost break me. I could go on about what went into this but who really cares, so I'll get on with it.

I have pre applied all widescreen cheat codes to per game .ini files for Dolphin. Ones that are available to my knowledge at least. There are a few sources for these codes and I made sure to check each one to ensure I was getting the best and most up to date codes. In a nut shell:

  • All codes that are available and working have been applied per game. Many sources checked.
  • As many versions and regions covered as possible. If a game has a code available for multiple versions / regions it has been configured for. Check the version list in the table below to make sure you are using the correct version.
  • Most games tested and some games have been culled from the list if the codes still allowed pop-in and jank.
  • Performance enhancements such as 60Hz for the PAL games that don't allow it to be selectable, have been applied also. If you don't want these simply turn them off.
  • Dolphins Widescreen Hack disabled for all games that do not need it, and enabled for the ones that do. No need to worry if you have it on or not. I've made it idiot proof. 
  • Configured for both Force 16:9 and Stretch to Window. Make your choice.


IMPORTANT: We are hacking widescreen here and where some of these games may look and feel like they were designed for 16:9, others do not. UI and Menus may be a bit misaligned and other relatively minor visual issues. Be a little forgiving. However, anything that was too crappy looking I have not included.
Also, as we are pushing the HW to draw in more geometry, assets etc performance with some games has been impacted. This is especially true for games that have had their draw distance/culling completely disabled, allowing everything, even beyond the FOV to be drawn and rendered. These are few and far between but some key titles do this e.g. Metroid Prime 1 & 2. Some performance scrimping may be needed depending on your PC.

IINSTRUCTIONS

  • I advise using another instance of Dolphin specifically for widescreen.
  • Choose your flavour and download - Forced 16:9 or Stretched to Fit Window
  • Place the .ini files in the GameSettings folder of Dolphin.
  • This will be in your roaming app data on your C drive if you are not using Dolphin in portable mode.
  • Enjoy!!!


In the table below is the list of supported games at the moment. This list will grow as more WS cheats are made. Please check the versions that are usable for each game. Some games have all versions covered and others only have one. Preferred versions are stated as such. 

If a game has multiple (Europe) versions available I have configured for the main PAL version. These can be identified with the 'P' before the numbers in their game ID's for e.g. GPEP08.
