How do I use the widescreen hack as a "longscreen" hack for splitscreen games?

I can't see any options for it nor find any info on it at all anywhere, this video is the only place I've seen it even being mentioned.

Turn on the Widescreen hack, set the Aspect Ratio to "Stretch to Window", and (in the case of Clone Wars at least) stretch the window to be twice as tall. And of course increase the internal resolution so it looks nice. And that's all!

Thanks, that works!

Do you know if there's any way to do it without multiple screens?
I have to set my screens to be arranged vertical in the windows display settings in order to stretch the window that far.
Maybe a way to set a custom aspect ratio and use the crop feature? That would make it work in fullscreen too.

If that's not available, is there a place I can make feature requests?

Regardless this works alright though, even if a bit hacky. Thanks again! Smile

We're not really open to cropping shenanigans. It would be a niiiightmare to set up and configure, not to mention the UI for the thing!

The best approach is action replay codes, gecko codes, or game patches. You can crop the screen however you like, even set up online multiplayer with it so different players have different screens. Kirby's Air Ride has received this treatment and it's really great! It's just very involved to set up.
