It's best to resample the image instead of applying a crop to it. Dolphin emulation has rather shoddy screen capture (PNG), especially with widescreen, as their recommended procedure to capture at native tends to leave widescreen images within 640x360, which is wrong for Wii internal resolution. Also the screen capture tool takes a picture of the stretched image that displays in the window instead of the internal native resolution. Also GCN and Wii games have varying native resolutions. It's not one resolution fits all like the {{bp|SNES}} or {{bp|GB}} for examples. Visit ''The Cutting Room Floor'' for more info on that. They don't always exactly fit into those neat resolutions of 640x480 or 854x480. I have noticed this with games such as Super Mario Sunshine (596x480), Paper Mario 2 (not known to me), Super Paper Mario (less than 854 width but still 480 in height from what the {{bp|Wii U}} shows on the game pad), and Super Mario Galaxy (608×456 when not stretched to widescreen). You can try ''Spriter's Resource'', but good luck assembling the pieces accurately! This isn't an easy one to solve I'm afraid. --[[User:Wildgoosespeeder|Wildgoosespeeder]] ([[User talk:Wildgoosespeeder|talk]]) 06:04, 2 July 2016 (UTC)

:I did indeed resample the image (the copy I uploaded is a fresh capture), so I am not sure what you meant by applying a crop. In either case, this is a more troublesome issue than expected! Now that you mention it, I remember someone commenting that Dolphin doesn't dump from internal resolution supposedly due to "incompatibilities with features".

::I was told that the screen capture code wasn't revised to capture correctly because it's still using code from its early days. It's a mess. --[[User:Wildgoosespeeder|Wildgoosespeeder]] ([[User talk:Wildgoosespeeder|talk]]) 06:49, 2 July 2016 (UTC)
