You can already do this if you dump the IPL.

It would be cool to open the wii menu with selected disk inserted too.

Could always do it using disc swap

But that takes way more clicks though.

I counted 4 clicks in total. Doesn't seem all that much to me, tbh.

We have the same type of thing for gamecube ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
FWIW I probably wouldn't use it because I don't want to grab/configure a wiimote when I will be using a gamecube controller

The ability to stretch narrow-aspect games to 4:3 with Aspect Ratio set to Force 4:3. And yes I'm aware that the original hardware didn't do this. I would like this feature because many "narrow" GC titles have a lot of circular art that was designed (at one point or another) in 4:3, the aspect can be chosen in the game.ini files unlike fullscreen resolution (currently), the Crop option does not address the proportions, and the Auto aspect option appears to work fine for viewing content as "intended".

This came up briefly in a prior thread I made about a similar topic, and after deliberating on the reasons listed above it makes a lot of functional sense to me that the aspect option is changed in this way.

We use the precise dimensions the game gives the console. If a game gives an aspect ratio and then doesn't use it correctly, then it would be distorted on real hardware and period screens; so emulating that distortion is accurate emulation. Anything beyond that isn't really our problem, and would probably be better approached with per-game AR codes or something.

Noted. I just don't know what else to expect from an aspect setting called "Force 4:3". The contributors did not intend for it to only shrink wider aspects but leave narrower ones untouched, did they? On AR codes, I've never seen one that just stretches the output while not increasing the field of view, but it's an interesting idea I suppose.

The way it's intended to work is that it will display the image using the same aspect ratio as a 4:3 TV, which doesn't necessarily mean that the visible part of the image will be exactly 4:3.
