How to Achieve Full Screen Aspect Ratio Using Widescreen Hack

Questions and Answers

The Wii console usually uses vert+ when changing aspect ratio to 4:3 and Hor+ for other widescreen resolutions above 16:9, but uses Hor+ instead for full-screen if set on standard. This can be done with Dolphin Emulator to achieve 4:3 with more vertical than the one used on the console like movies, video games and studio logos use such as the New Line Home Entertainment 1994-2010 logos.
