Description

Game Name?

Any Wii game

What's the problem? Describe what went wrong.

Going into properties of any Wii game it shows me an option to enable-disable-default Widescreen on the game. I'm trying to disable Widescreen for Mario Party 8 (as I don't like the decorated side bars; I'd rather have black bars), but it happens on any Wii game
I tried disabling Widescreen and it added this to the gameini:

[Wii]
WideScreen = False

Enabling it will set it to true, and it can also be set to default (meaning it would use Dolphin settings) which deletes it from the gameini.
Enabling or disabling Widescreen on properties or gameini doesn't work; it will always use default aspect ratio. I also noticed that this ini isn't even mentioned in the [Unofficial] gameini guide

What steps will reproduce the problem?

Set Wii to 4:3 or 16:9 on Dolphin's Config and manually set a specific game to the other aspect ratio. It will use the default aspect ratio instead of the one specified at the ini.

Which versions of Dolphin did you test on? Does using an older version of Dolphin solve your issue? If yes, which versions of Dolphin used to work?

4.0-2148, 4.0-5805, 4.0-8721
I haven't tried anything below 4.0

What are your PC specifications? (CPU, GPU, Operating System, more)

CPU: Intel Core i5 @ 2.50GHz
Intel HD Graphics 4000
Windows 7
RAM: 4 GB

Is there any other relevant information? (e.g. logs, screenshots,
configuration files)
Nope
