Full Version: Auto Aspect Ratio doesn't actually work?

In the 5.0 video for Dolphin, one of the features advertised was an auto aspect ratio that would change dynamically if the ingame settings allowed for it. However, it would appear that it's either broken or just doesn't work in some games?

Starfox Adventures will randomly swap between 4:3 and 16:9 randomly during gameplay when the Dolphin settings are set to Auto and the ingame is set to widescreen.

SoulCalibur II just plain doesn't work when setting the ingame setting to widescreen and Dolphin set to Auto. So it would seem that the only way to fix this issue is by forcing the aspect ratio in Dolphin's settings. Is there a reason for this? I've seen others with this issue.

EDIT: I'm on the latest dev version.
Yeah, there was a regression at some point (hybrid XFB?) and now it doesn't work as well as it used to.
