:Which game? It looks like there are variety cheat description for 16:9 code than I though. [[User:Lucario|Lucario]] ([[User talk:Lucario|talk]]) 23:40, 7 January 2018 (CET) | :Which game?

::[[Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events]] is one game that needs the widescreen hack. I'm sure I've seen it on other more high profile games too, but I can't think of them off the top of my head. Maybe add a <code>|widescreenhack=true</code> or <code>false</code> into the template for 16:9, then have a sentence like "Make sure the widescreen hack is '''disabled''' / '''enabled'''" depending on what it's set to? - [[User:Xerxes|Xerxes]] ([[User talk:Xerxes|talk]]) 09:14, 8 January 2018 (CET) | ::[[Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events]] is one game that needs the widescreen hack.

The sentencing is awkward, I think using an unspecified cheat description is better suited for the code that requires widescreen hack, it may trigger a "not 16:9" category, but that seems okay to me as it's an incomplete code that doesn't do 16:9 yet.

::::I get what you're saying about how the code doesn't technically change the aspect ratio itself, but that's a pretty minor distinction. The point of even having 16:9 codes here as I understand it was because of problems with the widescreen hack, so whether the code itself does the widescreen or it fixes the widescreen hack, it's accomplishing the same goal. It's probably more confusing to have a 16:9 template that doesn't take all the 16:9 codes available. If there's widescreen codes that are just using the default display option of the template and not the nice formatting we've come up with, then why should the template even exist? That's kind of where I'm at with this. ([[Metroid Prime (GC)]] is another game that has a 16:9 code that uses the widescreen hack, as a side note.) - [[User:Xerxes|Xerxes]] ([[User talk:Xerxes|talk]]) 00:01, 9 January 2018 (CET) | ::::I get what you're saying about how the code doesn't technically change the aspect ratio itself, but that's a pretty minor distinction.

:::::An unspecified cheat description still does appears to be suited well for those 16:9 codes on Metroid Prime game. How else are we supposed to make sentence that would make sense across games that need widescreen hack? They have lot variety of 16:9 fix statements, rewriting is going to be hard. I guess we need to edit doc page to explain how automatic cheat description works, tells what "16:9" will do, and when to use it based on whether does the code even do 16:9 (in replacement of widescreen hack), not just 16:9 fixes, and the category will go away only if we have real 16:9 treatment for those that need widescreen hack. We could rename that category into "bugfix" if the "not 16:9" is bit misleading to you. [[User:Lucario|Lucario]] ([[User talk:Lucario|talk]]) 01:24, 9 January 2018 (CET) | |||
::::Maybe we should not try and describe the widescreen codes in a standardized way at all? Just let code submitters fill out whatever they want? - [[User:Xerxes|Xerxes]] ([[User talk:Xerxes|talk]]) 00:51, 9 January 2018 (CET) | ::::Maybe we should not try and describe the widescreen codes in a standardized way at all?

:::::Yes, that's what an unspecified cheat description parameter is for, and as a bonus they can add additional information after "16:9" and they will appear after/under automatic cheat description [[User:Lucario|Lucario]] ([[User talk:Lucario|talk]]) 01:24, 9 January 2018 (CET) | |||
