A '''widescreen or , ultrawide and super ultrawide hackhacks''' is an emulator enhancement feature that make older games playable on 16:9, 21:9 or 32:9 aspect ratios '''without stretching'''.

Most video games before mid-2000s were developed for TVs and monitors with 4:3 aspect ratio. If these games are played on 16:9 aspect ratio, the game is either displayed with black bars on each side or stretched to fill the whole screen. Some emulators however provide a widescreen hack option to make these games look nice on modern monitors.
