SOLUTIONS BELOW
I haven't booted up Dolphin for a while and decided to update it to the latest development version. The aspect ratios on multiple games have been different and not what I set it to. I set it to "force 16:9" but each game seems to be 4:3 or cropped to some other ratio. All games have my native resolution set for "fullscreen resolution", which is 1600x900. On a side note I never needed to use widescreen hack and turning it on doesn't do anything and the games before this problem came up played in 16:9. I'm not sure if this is related to Dolphin, my AMD drivers, or Windows so if anybody has any ideas I'd like some feedback please. Normal PC games work just fine on my native resolution.
Games that I have tried that are affected:
Sonic Riders (NTSC) - GC
007 Agent Under Fire (NTSC) - GC
Spongebob Squarepants: Battle for Bikini Bottom (NTSC) - GC
F-Zero GX (NTSC) - GC
Wii Music (NTSC) - Wii
Super Smash Bros. Melee (NTSC) - GC
Super Mario Galaxy (NTSC) - Wii
007 Nightfire (NTSC) - GC
Games that I have tried that are NOT affected:
Wii Sports (NTSC) - Wii
AMD FX-8350 (3.5 GHz)
AMD Radeon HD 7850 (1GB)
8GB RAM
Windows 7 Professional (64-bit)
Dolphin 4.0-7624 (x64)

If you want the original behaviour, select a 16:9 resolution and then use "stretch to window" instead of "16:9".
