Hi there!!

So I was wondering, would there be a way to force widescreen mode on the cube, just like that Dolphin option? (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3RzjK3uu84Q)

I mean, I have a rather little collection of GC games, but one of them is Zelda Twilight, and as I also have that Component Cable, I sometimes wonder whether or not it would be possible to make a real cube do that Dolphin does, forcing widescreen, through homebrew perhaps? What do you think? I have been told that the cube, due to its specs, wouldn't handle it...

I hear it may be possible - if it is, you'll see it in Swiss one day

Someday... we will just rule the world with swiss...

emu.. you're just sick

oh no!!!!!!!!!! You serious???????? You do it man! You do it!!!!!!!!!
Imagine a cube with a component cable running Twilight Princess (that is already gorgeous in 4:3 streched) in 16:9!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!............ (sorry for the excitement) LOL

But you think the cube could handle it? Well I don't care, even if it lags, I just wanna try and see it!!
It's because... Twilight already looks great with the component, imagine in forced 16:9, like those Dolphin HD videos on youtube...

Do it pleeease!

But, this is just stretched? Original 4:3: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hr5UeNS3F0g

Yeah, sorry, I chose the wrong link lool this one is just stretched yeah, so that's basically what I achieve right now on my television.
Here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VV1upJSDnsk True 16:9 This is what I want!
Check this out! Resident Evil Remake in 16:9!!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aNy1sPQKv-8
They have some bugs, but yet look great!

please emu_kidid! eheheh

Sometimes that looks really awful! Specially after 2:30

It has some bugs yeah, but I believe it depends on the game. Besides, overall it looks great! Don't you think? Check out that resolution! Imagine that on an LCD TV with a component cable!!!!!!! That is what excites me lol

How is it possible to force 16:9 when a Gamecube game was produced in 4:3? Or wasn't it?

i guess it's just possible in an emulator :/

But I would like to be wrong ^^

Earlier in the IRC channel:

Taken from GC? Nice... Sometimes I like to be wrong

Thats really awesome!

No.. way.
Awesome!

Hm.. I guess it's somehow possible after all
Hopefully this does work with all games.

Waaait a minute!! Something tells me that was taken from Dolphin! Unless emu_kidid has already added the 'force widescreen' mode to Swiss...

Emu_kidid, have you?

If you have, for God's sake, let me try it! I want to test it in my Zelda Twilight + Component Cable!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

dude, keep it cool okay?

ok, sorry, I was just excited because I thought there were already new developments. my apologies

ttbb2,

I haven't done anything, that's Extrems who posted that screenshot

You may now try it out:
https://files.extremscorner.org/gamecub ... dehack.zip

Currently, it is always on.

added it to SVN

I can happily say the following:
WOOHOO!

Will try asap.

Wow! Can I already try it??
Edit: can't download the file, it gives me an error :\

it's added to SVN... check it out, compile it.

This is just amazing! I'm interested in exactly how this hack works though, exactly how are we taking a game that was made for 4:3 and making it display a proper 16:9? Do all games work with this or just certain ones?

Can anyone compile this for me? I want to try this out
