Widescreen-ShadowTH

Modified files for proper widescreen support in Shadow The Hedgehog.

Provides widescreen without any UI stretching weirdness or incorrect overlays.

Please note this is already integrated with Shadow The Hedgehog: Reloaded and Shadow SX. This is a standalone widescreen feature if you want to integrate it with your own mod or the original game.

ROM Validation

Please verify the ROM you are attempting to patch is a 1:1 Shadow The Hedgehog NTSC-U or PAL GameCube ISO.

GCZ/WIA/RVZ or any other format than ISO is not supported. Please convert to ISO, then compare your game to the table below.

You can get your hashes of your ISO by right clicking your game in Dolphin's game list -> Properties -> Verify tab.

ROM	CRC32 Hash	SHA-1 Hash
NTSC-U	f582cf1e	5dc81ad9c97549394e30bedc252bfa37d4db1de0
PAL	db7d8cd9	05b34c82c0fe8aa504539e4dfbba89957c7fc788

Patched ROM Output Validation

Below is the expected outputs after patching your original rom to the widescreen version.

ROM	CRC32 Hash	SHA-1 Hash
NTSC-U	e7bba31d	77bf39a056f9ad0fd06d1d8fbc588d1d6ba14aa5
PAL	d213e6a0	14ba52934be08fc8d49cddd57a0b1ad0ddb16930

Usage / How to Setup

If you are making your own mod...

1. Merge & overwrite files from 'files' with extracted game's 'files'. (See "Extraction of Game" below for how to if you are not familiar)
2. Use the all-in-one (singleplayer only) code below. Do NOT use the xdelta.

If you are just patching the original game and won't be making further dol edits...

1. Download the patch for the region you are using.

shadow-widescreen-ntsc-u.xdelta

shadow-widescreen-pal.xdelta

2. Use any xdelta3 patcher on your .ISO format game - you're done! No Gecko Codes required, as its embedded in the dol.

PC

1. Visit https://shadowthehedgehoghacking.github.io/xdelta-wasm/ or any other xdelta3 patcher of your choice.
2. Specify your original ISO as the Source file.
3. Specify the shadow-widescreen.xdelta file you downloaded as the Patch file.
4. Click Apply Patch: It will then 'download' the patched file as ISO NAME-patched.iso (nothing is actually uploaded/downloaded, it is all done on-device).
5. If you run into errors, likely the ISO is the wrong hash. Double check your original game in Dolphin Verify tab.

Android

1. Download and install the ROM Patcher
2. Place your original Shadow the Hedgehog ROM in ISO format into an accessible folder
3. Download and place the shadow-widescreen-[region].xdelta somewhere UniPatcher will be able to access it.
4. Specify the output file & click the pink floating action button.
5. ISO NAME [PATCHED].iso should be created successfully. If you run into errors, likely the ISO is wrong hash, double check your original game.

Gecko (Not required if you use the xdelta)
