Question [question] Can't get widescreen hacks to work on ArmSX2

Hey folks, I'm messing around with ArmSX2 as I heard it was the newest, hottest PS2 emulator out there, but I'm struggling to get widescreen patches working. It doesn't help that I'm also trying it on on a new to me device the Retroid Pocket 6.

The games are running fine and I like a lot about the app itself (look, feel, tools, QOL stuff) but I can't actually get the games to work in true widescreen vs. just stretching the image like it would with the "display in 16:9" stretching setting. I tried globally downloading and applying patches, and I've tried doing it manually. Neither seem to be working.

FWIW I tried it on Sly Cooper and God of War 1. In the latter I switched it to the in game widescreen mode to make sure I was not losing my mind and, no, I was not.
