Screeen resolution hacks

[SpaceBooger]

Widescreen on these older systems works by squishing everything horizontally, with the idea being that your widescreen TV will stretch it out. Look up anamorphic wide screen for a decent explanation of the idea.

If you play on a 4:3 CRT you should still see more, but everything is going to be squished.

So with that being said. I should probably not use the hack and use the original resolution for the best image (non squished) on my 4:3 CRT correct?

Correct.

Question about these hacks. I am playing on a JVC CRT s-video. I currently am playing through SF3 S2 with the hack enabled. I noticed because of the hack I can not see the version number of the translation patch on the title screen. Do these patches do anything when playing on an old 4:3 CRT or am I just losing some screen because of it?
Thanks

The widescreen patch may not be compatible with the translated version of SF3 (scenario # 2). The patch is intended primarily for the original Japanese version of the game.
