-'''Notes'''
-{{--}} Going to in-game graphical options is going to make the game run in 4:3 resolution, again. Repeat steps 1-5.
-{{--}} Some two-dimensional elements stretch in widescreen resolutions. Certain two-dimensional elements scale to a 4:3 aspect ratio and crop at the bottom of the screen.
-{{--}} Main menu doesn't display quit option in widescreen resolutions. Game can still be quit using {{key|Alt|F4}}.
-{{--}} Certain text will overlap in widescreen resolutions.
-{{--}} The in-game menus do not stretch and have some cropping at the bottom of the screen in widescreen resolutions. There are slight text-alignment problems with the in-game menus in certain aspect ratios.
-{{--}} In-game subtitles will crop in widescreen resolutions. The subtitles are unreadable in 16:9 aspect ratios.
-{{--}} Using this hack might break the game in the fourth part of chapter 8, if you have any issue turn it off and finish the chapter to use it again.
