FINALLY, after a very bizarre problem that i couldnt solve involving overlapping on Demul with the widescreen hack activated, Ziming sent me gdi images with the widescreen hack preloaded.
And it looks absolutely immense!! I didnt think it was that big of a deal, and it wouldnt enhance my gaming experience of Shenmue on an emulator, but boy was i wrong! Mr357 was saying to me about how circles appeared more "oval" shaped and things like that, and i could sort of see it, but i wasnt that fussed since i wasnt able to activate it either way. But now, i just love it and i have to say a massive thank you to Esppiral for this. I will thank you again during all of the weekly playthroughs on Twitch, as well as Ziming setting up a link to here. Here are some comparison shots with some thoughts:

When playing this in a 16:9 aspect on a 50" LCD TV you can see how much more sleek and slim the entire picture looks, as well as how Ryo hasnt been eating pies all the live long day. It looks so much more closer to its original than it ever has done.

I dont think the pictures do this one justice, but the notebook also looks far more thin, and less as intrusive on the screen. It looks as if its standing more upright and less stretched, distorting the image. This in return make the text look a lot more neat and well presented.

The final image is the one where people had been saying for weeks during the streams where you can see the purpose and difference this at its best. Circular objects go from looking oval shaped and stretched, to perfectly circular, and again, just make the game feel and look much more neat and sleek.
I know the pictures may not look much different, or even that much of a big deal, but trust me, when playing the games it feels miles different, and if anyone is running Shenmue through an emulator in widescreen mode then you need this hack.
Thank you again Esppiral!
