WW-43DB-Patcher is a Wii homebrew application patches the WiiWare aspect ratio database (43DB) to allow access to 16:9 aspect ratio in WiiWare titles where 4:3 is enforced. It does this by stubbing all entries in the vWii System Menu U8 archive, without modifying the System Menu TMD.
A backup of the unpatched System Menu U8 archive content file is created at sd:/ww-43db-patcher_bkp/<content_id>.app, which should be copied to a safe location. The application can also restore this backup if it is available on the SD card.
However, if the U8 archive has been modified and its hash no longer matches the one from the System Menu TMD, the backup generation and restoring features will not work. This application is only compatible with Wii U consoles. Thanks to InvoxiPlayGames for testing and providing the icon.
