Dolphin keeps throwing an error "fifo is overflown by gather pipe cpu thread is too fast" resulting in  a crash afterwards, probably due too way to many objects having to be displayed at the same time because of the extra width the game needs to take into account so I gave up. Perhaps I'll try and give it another shot, another time...

No rush. Thanks for replying.

remove the last 11 lines if you only want the culling fix without wider viewports

Version 8.2 is out!

I apparently missed some Junks textures by Evil Jerk awhile back, so those were added along with a few more textures. The big change is that DDS packs are slightly higher quality, and now use internal mipmaps. As a result, the DDS pack now requires Dolphin 5.0-3506 or later. Mipmaps are also slightly higher quality, but I doubt any of the quality improvements will be noticeable. Some PNG textures that should not have had alpha were fixed, converting these to DDS with my script means they now use DXT1 compression.

Most packs are online, the full PNG pack is uploading and will be available soon.

Thank you Bighead

So, having acquired an ultrawide monitor several months back, I was pretty excited to try darkludx's 21:9 + enhanced culling code.  I thought it was working perfectly at first, but after a couple minutes of running around colony nine, I noticed an "interesting" behavior...

Spoiler: (Show Spoiler)

At some point, both shulk and fiora began having parts of their models culled randomly depending on where the camera was positioned.  The screenshot is just one example, but if I keep rotating the camera, shulk's model will pop back into, and out of, existence, piece by piece.  And just to confirm, I turned the gecko code off and re-enabled the widescreen hack in dolphin, and had no issues other than the expected stretched ui elements.  It was nice not having any pop-in around the edges of the screen, but something is definitely going wonky with the culling code as it is, or maybe something in the game engine is getting overloaded with so many elements being drawn on screen at once.  Another important note, I also tried running the code with the enhanced view distance patch applied.  I haven't tried it without.

And finally, thanks for yet another pack update Bighead

gamemasterplc is the creator of the Gecko Code 21:9 Ultra Widescreen for Xenoblade Chronicles NTSC-U (SX4E01), I only shared his code here.
I hope that gamemasterplc can check the behavior that Matrix2525 described and he can fix it.

Some minor updates to the barrel I upload a while ago. A couple things bothered me that I fixed up.

If you need it immediately for whatever reason (you probably don't, because barrel), you can use Bighead's tool (hehe) to generate mipmaps or to convert to DDS. It'll make him feel special.

First off, it wasn't my intention to mis-credit anyone, so sorry about that (darkludx, did you always have that asterisk at the bottom of that post? :p). Gamemasterpic, I just tried the new code you posted, and it seems like it does what it says on the tin. The 3D space renders properly in 21:9 without using dolphin's widescreen hack setting, and the clip fix seems to work properly. Detail elements render out to the borders of the screen so there's no pop-in on the edges, and the party characters aren't blinking in and out of existence. The only difference with this code is that all of the UI and other 2D elements are stretched out, which isn't a big deal. I didn't mention it in my previous post, but with the UI aspect fixed with the previous code, you could see other elements of various menus (like the party menu) at the edges of the screen, since they would normally be rendered outside of a 16:9 screenspace and then slide into the screen when they are selected. But issues like that are to be expected when making changes like these. Anyway, thanks for the great work. The new code seems to fix the culling issue completely for 21:9.
