I have a problem with the widescreen patch used for Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence. The patch otherwise works fine but whenever I look at bodies of water in the game, the water texture only shows in the 4:3 frame and not in the 16:9 one.
I'm on the NTSC-U version of the game and using this patch:  SLUS-21359_053D2239


gametitle=Metal Gear Solid 3 - Subsistence (SLUS_21359)

I just checked and found out that these cheat patches are currently being used in the emulator as an „official” 16:9 patch. I have found this and this that also describes the problem, but does not seem to be a definitive solution yet. But you can make a new request here for a complete 16:9 patch with water effect fix and everything that goes with it. Try your luck and hope that someone will deal with it who knows how.

I found the solution by putting this code into a .pnach file, for anyone in the future having this issue:

The „solution” was found by the person who generated these codes and you were only made aware of it. As i said, it seems to be an incomplete solution, not yet a final one. Nevertheless, i am pleased that it has helped you a little. Keep an eye on the widescreen thread anyway.
