Super Mario Sunshine widescreen not working / Gecko Codes not working?

[derdingobaron]

So, I'm currently trying to set up Mario Sunshine to run in widescreen at 60fps. I've tried both the official Dolphin as well as Ishiiruka (where I at least was able to run the game properly at 60fps with a patch).

I have the widescreen hack disabled, Force 16:9 enabled, and tried various Gecko codes that supposedly make the game work in widescreen, notably the "16:9 Widescreen (Region Free)" and another one called "16:9" that was already there when I opened the Gecko codes in Ishiiruka. But the game only gets stretched to 16:9 instead of real widescreen... The aspect ratio is all messed up.

I've also tried applying the "60FPS (Region-Free)" Gecko code and it doesn't work, either. So then I just started enabling random Gecko codes to see if any would work, like "Mute game", and there was still sound, and various others which didn't do a thing. So clearly, no Gecko codes seem to work for me at all. Any suggestions?

Config > Enable Cheats?

Oh man... That did it. I have no idea how I overlooked that

Ishiiruka probably enables this by default as a UX decision. We keep it disabled by default due to some potential side effects.

Okay... Now suddenly Dolphin won't run in widescreen unless I open the graphics config while running the game, then it switches from 4:3 to 16:9. That's with Force 16:9 enabled and with or without the widescreen gecko code. Ishiiruka doesn't have this issue.

Try Stretch to Window instead.
