That "Auto" could be doing a number of things. I was wondering if that is responsible for the NTSC Widescreen Compensation, so it's may be still rendering at 3x Native but the extra pixles that step that was explained in the bug report is done via rescaling? Probably so, but who's responsible, is it implemented in the Auto function of the Fullscreen ..
I guess now I realized, Fullscreen Resolution "Auto" function probably isn't responsible since I wasn't even using Fullscreen in this case, it's probably a separate step, most likely part of Wii Aspect Ratio. EDIT: Yeah I did a test with Wii Aspect 4:3 and original IR, now it makes all sense.
EDIT2:
Well if Wii games can do Widescreen natively, then Widescreen Hack I guess is not needed, now it makes me think, whether Widescren Hack modifies EFB and the game natively renders wider or it's done by scaling? - I didn't play that many Wii games yet on Dolphin despite being early adopter with lots of Wii games for some reason so I have less experience.
EDIT3: I keep asking my self again whether Fullscreen and Auto-Adjust go together at all, logic tells me they should not, when fullscreen is used, auto-adjust would be ignored. Is that so right now?
EDIT4: How come bFullscreen doesn't exist as a GFX Config and it's not inside IsSettingSaveable.cpp - what's special about it?
Again.... Keep in mind: There are a LOT of games that use 4:3 aspect ratio on the Wii that can benefit from this as well, starting with basically all 3D VC games, but also native Wii games (https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/930752-nintendo-wii/64198688) and then we haven't even started talking about GC games yet... removing the Widescreen Hack (however hacky and buggy it is) WILL affect people using this for their games...
And I think (don't know for sure, a dev would have to explain) that the Widescreen hack does something similar to increasing the FOV (field of view) and then stretching the game to fit the screen effectively creating a so called Hor+ widescreen. Problem with this way of increasing FOV is that a lot of games do not expect the extra FOV and do some "culling" which is effectively just not rendering stuff outside the standard FOV and thus miss some graphics outside the default 4:3 area. This is where cheatcodes come in: some codes will just tell the game to not cull anything.
