16:9 Widescreen Gecko Code
The built-in Widescreen Hack causes clipping issues. The following Gecko codes work as a replacement, causing fewer issues. To avoid conflicts, make sure that Widescreen Hack is disabled while using these codes. Note that as of 5.0-11476, using this code with Aspect Ratio set to Auto will cause the aspect ratio to flicker between 4:3 and 16:9 at certain points and angles.

Swap player models
You can play as several other characters by simply swapping out c001.ptm in the files\game\ptm folder with another PTM file (renamed as c001.ptm), after extracting the ISO via Dolphin. Be sure to make a backup of the original PTM files. Be advised that some animations, such as the idle animation, might be missing since they weren't programmed for versus mode (they'll suddenly T-pose instead). Check the /PTM/ section for character file associations.
