Since the edit summary has very little space, I'm going to fill in the details here. Both of these problems (and the powersliding bug) are problems that users encountered in the emulator and asked about on the forums or made issue reports about. The custom car bug was frequently encountered and everyone thought it was Dolphin's fault, and many users have been caught running this game with widescreen hacks and asking for help with bugs! The problems are there to preemptively inform them so they will not experience the problem in the first place. They are in the problems area because to a user, it is a problem, and the problems area is where solutions to problems lie. They are however on the bottom, since they are the least important. As for 16:9 being in enhancements, Lucario's logic is not entirely wrong, as you have to do it on the console so it is an issue that would be encountered there as well. But it is wrong in that it can't be an enhancement if it is a feature of the game and not something dolphin is adding to it. Furthermore, the problem of users using the widescreen hack and then having problems with it IS a dolphin-unique problem, and this is meant to address that specifically. So the problems area is the spot it belongs in most. - [[User:MaJoR|MaJoR]] ([[User talk:MaJoR|talk]]) 07:48, 4 November 2015 (CET) | Since the edit summary has very little space, I'm going to fill in the details here.

:I haven't thought of the part where users should turn "widescreen hack" off when using the widescreen mode in the game, hence the problem on emulation side where the widescreen hack exist. I'll give you that. I'm also thinking of a new section titled "User Errors" where we can list common errors that was on the user's side. Then the custom car problem can go there and the two players one ctrl problem in Super Smash Bros. Brawl and possibly others. What's your thoughts on this?

::::::::: Lucario, about the section name, I don't like Emulation Info neither Common Mistakes, but from the point you raised, Emulation Information seems a little better, we may stick with that. About raising it above Problems Section, I think we should (+1 from me), but it's a somewhat big structure change that affects a huge number of pages, I would like to hear from MaJoR and Kolano too before proceeding on that. And about rating the problems, well, that's another user against it, don't waste your time Wildgoosespeeder. - [[User:Jhonn|Jhonn]] ([[User talk:Jhonn|talk]]) | ::::::::: Lucario, about the section name, I don't like Emulation Info neither Common Mistakes, but from the point you raised, Emulation Information seems a little better, we may stick with that.

* The banner is ugly and puts the 16:9 info before anything else as if it was the top priority info in a game page (which clearly it's not the case). | * The banner is ugly and puts the 16:9 info before anything else as if it was the top priority info in a game page (which clearly it's not the case). | ||
