Widescreen Hack Fix (involves a backup-loader)

[tueidj]

That's because it's copied from swiss.

I can't seem to get this working, can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

I do the following:

1. Open FIX94's autoboot dol file in dolphin

2. Once it loads 33% I tab out, change disc-->Wind Waker iso

3. Game loads fine, but no difference in aspect ratio to what I normally get with Dolphin's built in widescreen hack (the HUD is still squashed). Have tried all combinations of settings in dolphin's Graphics/Force AR/Widescreen Hack and Wii tab (don't think the latter would have any effect) to no avail

4. Note that when I try this method, it detects my old save file (previously mentioned you'd need to start over)

I have also tried getting the latest dol/elf/iso files through EmuCR, and upon loading it gives me a "Fatal DVD Error", after changing ISO and setting widescreen it throws out a few more errors but it loads, still no change in aspect ratio. Trying various iso/elf/dol from the google code repo, I get a range of errors and black screens at best. I'm running latest build 3.5-1501

Forget about that stupid Swiss GC .. Use this code to run Wind Waker in widescreen:

16:9 Aspect Ratio (Widescreen) - NTSC

D3MC-RD04-JACXK

G1N3-CXH2-TMF6K


16:9 Aspect Ratio (Widescreen) - PAL

KNVC-VY59-WXF91

FM7X-QJAM-48NGB


The hack is only effective in the game itself, not in the menu .. The benefit using this code is, that objects are fully rendered. With Swiss-GC and Dolphin's widescreen-hack, things like grass, trees and people disappear once they are outside of the 4:3 field ..

Many thanks, it works wonderfully!

I can live with the stretched HUD as long as the 4:3 pop-in is gone (I thought swiss fixed that).

To get none-streched HUD you could try to combine SwissGC with this AR-code ..
I never tested it on Wind Waker .. In some games SwissGC disables this widescreen-AR-code ..
Do you have any other GCN games you want to play in widescreen?

[vertigo142]

I only have WW, Mario Party and Mario Kart at the moment, and only have the desire to play WW right now, but I might pick up Mario Sunshine. Will try combining with swiss soon

vertigo142, there is a widescreen option in swiss that you have to enable before starting the game. Did you enable that option? Without it enabled, swiss won't do anything.

It does afaik

[FIX94]

the swiss version I made there doesnt do a full patch, thats why the hud is still from 4:3, if you guys got some interest in the full patch here you go:

Amazing auto patch, thank you @FIX94.

The full version make shadows bug on Smash Bros Melee, the old one works ok, but I think it's cool have two patchs.


I just found a way to keep your configuration, shadercache and cheat.

It might work with GC Ntsc games only: ( since the swiss.dol is modded to work with Ntsc games only )

1st) Open dolphin and select the game that you want use swiss, for example Super Smash Bros Melee, load the game for 5 seconds and then press "Stop" on dolphin to close the game. ( default hotkey to stop emulation is Esc ) don't close dolphin ok.

2nd) Open the "swiss_dolphin_autoboot.dol" ( File -> Open or Ctrl+O )

3rd) Once it loads 33% tab out, change disc-->Super Smash Bros Melee.


Note: The auto swiss will always use the ini of the last game loaded ok.


Enjoy.
