The forwarders cant make a widescreen hack only the emulator. They're probably just using patches.
Yes i think there useing a patch but it doesnt look stretched.
do you know how he made the forwarder as the the only one ive seen is for retroarch and that cannot make reicast forwarders

You can make them with Reicast same forwarder you just manually type in the location of the nro and rom. Like mine is /switch/reicast.nro for the emulator then /reicast/romname for the rom under the bottom tab which says retroarch but it still works.

I've done those widescreen packs, it doesn't look stretched because I am patching the games to display in widescreen.

Calling it "just patches"... The games are carefully hacked one by one to modify the 3D matrix so the game displays in widescreen without clipping or stretching the image.

The app/emulator you're running with the forwarder needs to support being passed command line arguments to do this. Sounds like OpenBOR doesn't, you could ask the dev about it.

Well done, I downloaded nearly all of them! Until my quota ran out, will have to get the rest tomorrow

Has anyone got tony hawk pro skater 2 working perfectly.
the Compatability list at bottom of page says it runs fine but for me it runs awful.

There seems to be a bunch of variables I don’t understand affecting each persons experiences but any way, the ntsc version I got off emu runs too fast, almost double speed sometimes. And the pal modeed version I got of esppiral runs slightly too slow but is preferable to being too fast. Fingers crossed when/if there’s an update these kinks might be ironed out

just about to give Esppiral version a go. will let you know how it goes.
Not gonna try Esppiral version as i know it will run slow coz its the 60fps version not the standard 30fps which is reported to work fine

Handheld or docked makes a difference too, crazy taxi menus load and look just fine in handheld but docked it’s just yellow and impossible to navigate lol (same with blue stinger)
