Reply 1: As for the in-game widescreen option for battalion wars; only black bars are added to the menus and cut-scenes. In game levels are displayed in widescreen see:

: We should investigate those games further before setting force. For example, the menus of those games may still be rendered in 4:3 even with widescreen enabled (like Zelda Wind Waker with AR code). Using Auto in that case would seamlessly switch between 4:3 and 16:9 when needed, while in Force mode the menus would be stretched... - [[User:Jhonn|Jhonn]] ([[User talk:Jhonn|talk]]) 16:50, 2 December 2015 (CET)

::OK, got around to trying these tonight. First off we had been confused on the particular settings, I revised things to align with the actual settings. "Anamorphic" works fine with Auto AR, the "16:9" does not. "16:9" option is weird and seems to more or less output a 16:9 image on a 4:3 display. It outputs incorrectly /w Force 16:9, being stretched to thin. It outputs correctly with Force 4:3, but has black bars on all 4 sides on a widescreen display, so it's not useful. With /w auto it depends on the order you enable things, if "16:9" is activated first it outputs like Force 4:3, but if you enable "Anamorphic" first and then "16:9" it outputs like Force 16:9. I'm going to swap them back to recommending Auto, and leave a note providing details of each in game settings, since I don't think we want a third template just for these two.

Just a heads up, I asked JMC47 and he tested various of those games. Something he said that I think it's important to note somewhere is that "a lot of these games won't change into widescreen until something using a widescreen viewport shows up (3D graphics, usually. Such as the character models in Soul Calibur II's menus.)". [[User:Jhonn|Jhonn]] ([[User talk:Jhonn|talk]]) 05:30, 29 November 2015 (CET)

Yes, many of these titles provide widescreen output inconsistently. This usually seems related to the underlying assets not being suited for 16:9 display. I'm not clear we should worry about this. [[User:Kolano|Kolano]] ([[User talk:Kolano|talk]]) 10:16, 2 December 2015 (CET)

Should boil down the above to some notes to include in the templates description. [[User:Kolano|Kolano]] ([[User talk:Kolano|talk]]) 21:04, 9 December 2016 (CET)
