Umm, wat. The widescreen hack in swiss just patches the FOV in the projection matrix... which is more or less the same as what Dolphin's widescreen hack does, except it does it as the values are passed to the hardware rather than at the time of them being calculated. The end result is the same.
The only reason swiss sometimes looks different from Dolphin is because it also patches the FOV in light projection matrices, which are used mostly for reflections and shadows.
