I am wondering is it possible to modify view distance and zoom in a ps2 title by editing it with a hex editor? Take dynasty warriors 5 for example, I'd love to zoom out the view some more, its so damn close to the character its like looking right up their ***** half the time. Makes it fairly hard to see what your doing especally when the view does a very sloppy job of following you, if you turn around u have to hit L1 to change the view otherwise it'll stay looking at where you were.

Anyway is this even possible? or am I getting my hopes up for nothing?

it would depend if the engine actually supports it for one

someone more experienced would be able to answer your question, im sure someone will be along

try searching the zoom, zoom in and out until you find it, move a bit, search for it, then try editing it at a greater distance than "allowed" and see if that works.
