[Feature Request] n64 widescreen support #1046

Open powerpuffboysz opened 1 year ago

powerpuffboysz commented 1 year ago

Would it be possible to add a widescreen system for n64 games? I dont mean supporting games with built in widescreen but some method of adding cheats or patches for games that dont have widescreen natively. Or maybe adding compatibility with project64 enhancement files?

If I'm not mistaken (and I could be as I'm not very familiar with these hacks), the project64 hacks requires an HLE graphics plugin such as GlideN64 in order to work. ares uses either parallel-rdp (on systems supporting Vulkan) or defaults to MAME's RDP implementation as a fallback. Both of these LLE implementations and accurately represent the actual RDP hardware present in the N64 so hacks like this won't work.

Cheat support has been requested multiple times and there is currently an open feature request for it: https://github.com/ares-emulator/ares/issues/167
