The Correct Way to Play Melee in Widescreen

If you're using Dolphin's "Widescreen Hack" option, you're doing it wrong.

"Melee is a 4:3 game" This is 73:60 erasure

[Spore_Money]

I love how it looks but it always throws off my visual assumption of how far the blast zone actually is lol

[MrNoobNub]

Truly glorious. After so much Brawl, Project M and Ultimate, (yes i play brawl yes im stupid) this is like heaven to me.

[CptCanondorf]

Thank you for this! Hate seeing that white box flash on my friends streams lol, spamming this video to all of them

Note: these instructions are for people with standard 16:9 or monitors only. For 21:9, use this code instead:

peak thumbnail, thanks for doing this so i can spam this on my local scene to use this one xd

[LucasAtFlash]

Oh my god, thank you!!! i didnt know what to search to get rid of the black borders on the background. thanks alot!!!

[twelvevoltage]

Glad you made this because I know a bunch of people didn't know or still don't. Hell I'm a Slippi kid and it took me a couple years to find out.

[vvuukk]

this feels like seeing for the first time omg

[larryflaco]

i think the patch should have a update fixing some hud issues (training mode and some stage and some stage and fighter select clipping)
i play melee for single and multiplayer and seeing the ui just not be moved its pretty jarring but when i play a 1v1 on slippi the game is absolutory stunning in 16:9

[KyoakuNaKira]

What about the botched writing for the bonuses in Classic etc.?

[NanoNutrino]

I cannot get this to work properly. If you switch between 1:27 and 1:28 you'll notice that melee is stretched wider than it should in 1:27. Your solution solves this, however, I can't replicate it. The menus look fine, the UI looks fine too except melee looks stretched wide in game still. Circles are not circles but oval. It's particularly obvious with the barrel building on the left. My barrel build is stretched too wide despite doing everything right. If I use the Analog 16:9 the game looks fine but the UI is too thin.

Edit: I've done tests just to verify. I've been trying to do this on my personal melee Dolphin (non slippi) it's the latest Ishiiruka.1142 build, this solution works for the slippi downloaded version, which is fine, but I found this video because I wanted to do this for non Slippi Melee. I'd use the slippi dolphin if I could non slippify it.

[databased]

This would be perfect for the shorts format! Still, great video.

[balkyrie]

What a great video. I learned something new

[larryflaco]

hax made his own 16:9 patch for 1.03 witch is dabateably better then the current patch supported on slippi
(idk if the blast zones are diffrent i need to look into that)

[shy]

another issue not brought up is the characters suddenly vanishing when they go out of bounds on the stage camera when the Widescreen hack is enabled

[denzeltheeternalunderstudy]

The only thing I don’t like about widescreen is the magnifying glass when your off screen appear where it would in 4:3

[bibbyboxx]

I did this and it works great, but in training mode I can see part of the menu on the left hand side of the screen without pressing start to bring it up (I guess cause the regular aspect ratio has it off-screen). Is there any way to prevent this? A similar thing happens for me on results screens.

[kathleenharriott-zs]

do you have the code for the "center align 2p hud" ?

[Benjididas]

For some reasons, when i use that cheat code, it doesnt change anything :( if you got a solution
