PCSX2 - Widescreen Game Patches
#61
@miseru
All PAL ports are bad/awfully bad ports lol unfortunatly, bloody price we have to pay for living in the EU -.-. If the aspect VP is different for the US version of DDS, the ratio value I have for PAL may need to be changed for the NTSC-U version, yet I can't test it, so one of you will have to.

By the time games reach the EU, they've been code-hacked at least 3 times >.>

@naoan,
Couldn't tell you, PAL games don't support PS (as they fail)

I wouldn't generalize ;P some pal titles actually were correctly rewritten and had additional content added, for others the game engine was already made to work in pal/ntsc regions to be released at same time and in result some pal games actually have lower requirements on pcsx2. The awfull "fatness" is fairy common through in the more known titles/bestsellers through, at least few of them will get a chance for original looks now;P.
Suprising, even while the value was differently calculated in DDS, it still was around 203xxxxx, have an hour or two, gonna try maybe with Magna Carta, through I tried once already without much luck.

edit:
Fail at MC and few other games, but at least Digital Devil Saga 2(NTSC-U) was easy:

Gj guys,

Also, I made a miscalculation somewhere regarding DDS. I provided the wrong aspect values lol. This is why it looked stretched. I've now corrected it and changed the screens to reflect the correction, this also fixes the slight ghosting for PAL versions of this game.

I've also changed the Final Fantasy X patches to 3F2AAAAA, because the original values were showing artifacts at the edges of the screen in certain locations, as it was not being rendered. Such as water, and doors etc, new values fix this.

Unfortunately FPS will take a hit since this game always needed massive power at standard res, and with more onscreen it needs an even more powerful pc Smile
and I'm also still not 100% set on the values I used but its the best I could find (with the amount of free time I have Sad).

I'll post it's been found @ post #66 in the OP, i'll leave it here so they can read your warning about the further requirements, and if you are going to change it.

I've been trying on Arc last night, with no luck. I honestly think I've changed everything visually but the screen's width, i've made characters 4x their size, changed the pov 'camera' position, changed the foliage size, game saturation, even turned the screen upside-down lol. Hopefully I'll get a streak of luck with it later.
