@Devina
I've noticed widescreen hacks for some games and variants of them (like demos/expansions) that I've previously posted within this thread are missing from the widescreen archive. Any chance they could be added?

I'm guessing you've intentionally excluded demos from the archive. But as someone who's spent countless hours porting my hacks to and from demos, I'd really appreciate them being included in the archive. Btw some of them aren't solely demos. For instance, one of Frequency's demos is both a demo and an online expansion (achieved by swapping in the offline game disc after launching the expansion). Many of these demos also have significant (sometimes major) differences compared to final retail versions.

I should note that starting with Official U.S. PlayStation Magazine Demo Disc 056, every single NTSC-U multi-game demo disc from thereon has used the same startup ELF file. So... Hitman 2 and dozens (possibly hundreds) of magazine/KIOSK/network adapter demo discs share the same game CRC: 0x7656425F. To deal with that, I grouped all of their hacks into a single pnach file and used E-type codes to prevent conflicts.

Thanks .

May I request a patch for Spy Fiction (NTSC-U)? Great game!

[Devina]

Archive updated.

@Aced14: I prefer to avoid demos, unless necessary. I did what you said in your post, tho.

@Vedita BR II: Did you check the archive? It's there.

[Vedita BR II]

I tested Merceneries - Playground of Destruction and Headhunter (both NTSC-U) are too "wide" with the patches...

@Devina: Yes, but i dind't found on 1st time, it was hid from me lol

[Devina]

That's weird. You have a 16:9 monitor, right? Not 16:10?

You should take screencaps.

[FlatOut]

ElHecht included a 16:10 version for both Mercenaries PoD and Headhunter, so if that is the issue, just remove the // infront of the 16:10 patches and put them infront of the 16:9 ones.

[RhinoKneel]

Tweaked one value from nemesis2000's pnach for Dark Cloud 2 from the default zip and now have it running 21:9
Yes, I am insane

I do wish there was values discovered to adjust some UI width as it certainly gets stretched out at this ratio.

^ Can you please make that a .pnach, and perhaps make an NTSC-U patch?
