DK Jungle Beat in widescreen?

Hello,

I would like to know if the Swiss widescreen option is working with DK Jungle Beat?
So far I have done some testing with the PAL and USA iso, and with an original PAL disc : Neither options ("Persp" and "Yes") are working. The game is still in 4:3 if compared when running under Dolphin with the widescreen hack active: The field of view is larger on the left and right side.

On a side note, It is the same with Dancing Stage Mario Mix : No widescreen with either options...


I forget to mention, I'm using the latest Swiss from Github...

The GC hardware can't tell the TV that it's outputting a widescreen signal, you have to force 16:9 on your TV as well. If the widescreen hack works, the picture shouldn't be distorted in game due to stretching (except for the HUD if you use perp mode).

It is distorted in 16:9 and, as I said, the field of view is the same with or without the option active, so I think it is not working with DKJB...

I'm doing some screenshots right know... ;-)

So...

With "Persp" or "Yes": distorted, DK is wider and the bongos in the help pop-up are not circular...

Running under Dolphin: ok, DK is just right, the bongos are circular and there is more space on the left and right side...

I didn't noticed earlier, but there are some artefacts if "Yes" is selected as widescreen option. For exemple, the center is blackened on the start splash:
