Apologies for the 5-month old bump (hasn't been 6 yet! ), but I was thinking this is the best place to post a question like this. I'm using the texture pack, and it's great, but I'm sure we all know how many issues arise when we try to run this game with widescreen hacks.
But take a look at this:
As you can see, the person in the video is running the game with 16:9 hacks, but all UI elements are being stretched from 4:3. And this is a good thing. This completely gets rid of the ugly transition issues, the black bars not going across the screen in cut scenes, and more. And you'll notice the rest of the game is properly widescreen - Mario isn't being stretched and there's no pop-in.
But here's the thing: it seems like no one can replicate this. If you go and read the comments, it looks like a few other Dolphin users asked the video poster how he got it to look like this for his recording, and he doesn't seem to know, although he was using Ishiiruka 381. The strangest part is that he didn't change his configuration since the video, but now he can't get it to run that perfectly again. Very strange.
And here's the strangest part: If you ran this cheat on a real Gamecube, the desired effects are achieved. Take a look at these screenshots.
This suggests that a certain change to Dolphin's accuracy could have broken the widescreen cheat, but if nothing else, the video and screenshots prove it's possible. The how and why is yet to be discovered. I think this pack deserves true widescreen support, so I hope a solution is found!
