can't figure out Swiss cheats

[Diminuendo]

before anyone asks I have read this post here.

I'm trying to get the widescreen code for windwaker to work with swiss' widescreen hack but I have had no luck. This is the code I am using on the NTSC version of the game:

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

Code: Select all

D3MC-RD04-JACXK
G1N3-CXH2-TMF6K

I have ran these codes through GCNcrypt.
I do not have a master code for WindWaker, I couldn't find one. I do not know if this is important.
I would prefer to use the full widescreen mod instead of persp, but if I have no other choice I can settle for persp.
I get a solid green screen or black screen if I use this code.

I would appreciate any help, and I would rather learn what I'm doing wrong so I can fix the problem myself in future.

That code isn't designed to work in conjunction with any other widescreen hack ("Use the following AR codes in the place of the widescreen hack"). It patches the internal FOV to match 16:9 rather than just the projection matrix, fixing the issues with objects being clipped but also introduces other issues like making non-animated characters visible at the sides of cut scenes.

I thought of that. Using no widescreen hack makes no difference.

I also was not sure of this part:

Remember to turn on "Enable cheats" and use the "Force 16:9" Aspect Ratio.

I was thinking the "force 16:9" could of been swiss' equivalent of the widescreen hack

That just forces Dolphin's output window to be wide instead of normal.

well I have tried it with the hack both on and off, if there is anyone who knows what I'm doing wrong I'd appreciate it

I have another question. I have some WiiRD codes that I want to apply through Swiss using a retail disc. Can it be done (I own SDGecko)? I know that Swiss can read GCT files but I don't where I have to put them and how to name them. Thanks for any suggestion.

Cheats engine is broken at the moment (unless if you use an older version where it wasn't broken) or wait for me to fix it.

May I ask what version is ok and what type of cheat codes does it support?
