Virual Console and widescreen hack...almost perfect :/

Maybe this is a known issue, but I thought I'd report it. As the title states, Widescreen hack works "almost" perfectly. For some reason though, the hack only opens up to the right. Instead of unlocking from the center, it unlocks only the right side. So the result is the games origin is on the left side of the screen. 2d textures are unaffected, and stretch as expected, but anything rendered is stuck on the left. Thought this could maybe be fixed in future revisions. Currently using 4.0-6889.
TLDR: Virtual Console needs to widescreen hack from the center of the screen, not the left.
Resolution: 2560x1080(21:9) Issue not exclusive to this res. *EDIT*: only mildly apparent in 16:9 Also models are stretched beyond 16:9
Resolution: 2560x1080(21:9) UPDATE: Wider spects make it more apparent(why you think 16:9 looks fin, also some games are unnaffected(Mario Kart 64 is unaffected)

I've only just started trying out the VC, so I'm not sure, but I would atleast asume as much.

i've never seen the issue before, Dolphin holds a repository of old dev versions, try an older one a few revisions back

It doesn't seem to be apparent in the last stable release(4.0.2) but some games don't work on that version(smash 64, y u no work) Going back dev versions and 'so far' the issue is still apparent. What version are you usig that doesn't have said issue?
EDIT: So apparently it's even in the last stable version. It may be that 16:9 is only slightly apparent, so you may think its ok, but it's not, I'd recheck if I were you...just toggle widescreen hack on and off i ngame and you'll see. anything above it becomes apparent.

That's just how it works; it's not Dolphin's problem. You could correct with the free camera though.

The global widescreen hack on graphics settings is random, because it tries to be universal. But every game have his own way to handle aspect ratio.
A better way to do this is specific 16:9 AR code for each game, if it exists.
