I'd recommend NOT playing the PCSX2 version in widescreen. I know that the option is available in-game if I complete it once, but is using the cheat to disable it for my first go-through worth it, or should I man up and earn my way to that option? I also found a "cheat" to turn off the grain effect.

BEST SETTINGS PCSX2 SILENT HILL 2 PATCH
I also know of a widescreen patch for the game, but as the game was designed for a 4:3 aspect ratio I also know that this can cause some issues when rendering things that would normally be offscreen (especially in cutscenes) - I am wondering if the anomalies are minor enough to make running in widescreen worthwhile or if I should keep it in the original aspect ratio. I understand that the game used some off-spec methods to obtain certain graphical effects that can sometimes cause issues in emulation, so I am wondering if any particular renderer is optimal. I am wondering if anyone has experience tweaking PCSX2 for optimal performance with the game.

Now, years later my home gaming setup is significantly changed and my PS2 is packed away in storage meaning that working through my PS2 backlog requires emulation. I have owned the PS2 version of Silent Hill 2 since its release, but because I am stupid and I have terrible taste I have never really played it beyond the point of finding the radio.
