Hi all,

I've been using Dolphin 5.0 (latest revision) on my Surface Laptop 3, but since my laptop has a 3:2 aspect ratio I've had trouble making games take up the whole screen, specifically with Wii games. What worked with GCN games was setting the Aspect Ratio to Stretch to Window and then enabling Widescreen Hack. However, when I tried doing the same thing with Wii games, it results in the rendered graphics being squashed/stretched.

Is there any way for me to make Wii games render properly in 3:2?

Not without some kind of cheat code, the games weren't meant to run at that aspect ratio.

well you could try turning on Crop but that will cut a bit off the sides, as most games are made to be run in 4:3

So the whyscreen hack allows any aspect ratio, so if you turn on the widescreen hack and stretch to window, it should allow a 3:2 aspect ratio. ...probably. See the widescreen hack is just that, a hack, and while it works in most games, there are LOTS of games it doesn't work. The game you are trying is probably one of those. For that, you'll need something tailored specifically to the game, and for that you need an action replay or gecko code!
