Unlike some games that were "letterboxed" (where the black bars are part of the image), this mod hacks the game’s internal rendering resolution. It changes the camera field of view (FOV) so that the camera zooms out slightly to fill a widescreen canvas without cutting off the top or bottom of the image. mario party 8 widescreen mod
