Access to cheats used for widescreen

[hellbringer616]

I'm a member over at the Dolphin forums and i was wondering if i can extract the cheat database files from your guys files to use with Dolphin? and if i may, how i can go about doing it.

Your widescreen hacks are far superior to the one that comes with Dolphin and I'd like to use them with my emulator, which i can, however, if i do i cannot use texture packs as Dolphin thinks i am running a different game then i actually am (of course)

Probably be best to contact the Authors first or directly PM emukidid or extrems.
Not my call, it would definately be best get hold of them, hope that helps!

they aren't cheats, but rather a series of patches developed by Extrems.
The patch routines live in here:
http://code.google.com/p/swiss-gc/sourc ... /patcher.c (look at Patch_WideAspect)
The function replacements (sometimes entire functions are replaced, sometimes just snippets):
http://code.google.com/p/swiss-gc/sourc ... atches/gx/
http://code.google.com/p/swiss-gc/sourc ... tches/mtx/

These functions (in the two above dirs) are mostly copied into the 0x80001800 area and hooked to from the original functions with a variety of variables in use.

The problem with Dolphin's widescreen hack is that it doesn't patch C_MTXLightPerspective(). If it did nearly all the complaints about it not working properly would be fixed.

I found some AR codes here and was wondering if they'd work, I've been habving troubles getting cheats on swiss and was hoping that I could use it with swiss' widescreen hack, this one is for Wind Waker

16:9 Aspect Ratio Fix

The widescreen hack causes certain objects to disappear at the edges of the screen. Use the following AR Codes in the place of the widescreen hack to achieve widescreen with fewer problems. Remember to turn on "Enable cheats" and use the "Force 16:9" Aspect Ratio.
NTSC

D3MC-RD04-JACXK
G1N3-CXH2-TMF6K

PAL

KNVC-VY59-WXF91
FM7X-QJAM-48NGB

It would work for that specific game only, it's not a generic patch.

How exactly do you use Swiss with Dolphin?

I was able to load the swiss dol file, switch disc to Metal Gear Solid The Twin Snakes, edit the necessary settings of Swiss for widescreen, and tell it to boot the game, however, it seems to freeze at 100% booting the game, and nothing happens.
