Why it's a suprise for you guys?;P We do it all the time with other codes. That linked thread name is a bit limited dunno why, you can use Action Replay, gameshark etc. not just codebreaker, soo noo need to hunt for it specially. Also for converting codes between formats you can use "omniconvert", hence no reason for raw mastercode if you can just convert widescreen code to choosen format and add to your cheats. As long as the game works ok in pcsx2 it should work in same way, potentially including same bugs as those WS patches aren't always perfect.;c

I can confirm the Final Fantasy X PAL (G) patch also works on French version, so i think it will also works on the other different pal versions.
Just do not forgive to rename the file with the CRC of your own region. (05-10-2012, 02:19 AM)miseru99 Wrote: Why it's a suprise for you guys?;P We do it all the time with other codes.

Of course it is possible to convert the cheats into any format and use them in any way. In fact that is why i posted raw codes and recommend others to do the same. Not to cause any code conversion errors by the not-so-experienced users. Thanks to all for making this possible.

All of the codes I posted here I mostly use them on my PS2, like:
Kingdom Hearts RCOM (Action Replay Max) GQ5T-5QGW-1ZD3P 5GPU-23ME-248P4 Also I wanted to say that it would be a good idea to make 16:10 patches too since there are alot of screen/TVs that use that aspect ratio on today's market, plus the results give a 10% less streched 2D/HUD ellements on the screen and give also 10% less space for garbage on the sides. (maybe a dedicated part?)

@reprep ah well good to know;3, I didn't even checked what that forum was about^_^;
@VIRGIN KLM Well to change the 16:9 patches into 16:10 you simply need some simple math, generally as I wrote somewhere here, and it's also in the guide: Code: If it's a width-based value, multiply by 0.75 to get 16:9 widescreen. If height-based, multiply by 1.333. For 16:10, it's .833 and 1.2 respectfully.Code: 0.75*X=0.833Now just get any float<->hex converter ie. online one from here, copy the hex value from the patch and convert to float Example based to make it simpler Code: comment=Front Mission 5 NTSC-J WS(16:9)Code: comment=Front Mission 5 NTSC-J WS(16:10)And that's all to it. Hope anyone having that 16:10(which in the end isn't really soo popular;P), will be able to convert any patch without any problems by himself.

Thanx miseru99 that's correct though the math is not accurate (as someone else also pointed on the forum, converting float to HEX is a bad idea). You can calculate a value to start with but, to make it even worse, such math won't work universally to every game, for example the game I posted above, KHRCOM, you need slowly-slowly to change the last 3 digits up and down to find the best result for 16:10 by comparing it to 4:3 with Photoshop for example.
EDIT: Ah forgot to mention that when PS2 uses component for it's output (if your TV supports component BUY THAT CABLE, there's a dramatic increase in quality), alot of TVs refuse to strech sompletely the image to full screen leaving some small pillars left and right (simmilar to how PS3 handles fullscreen on PS2 games). 2 of my TVs do that (Sony and LG 1920x1080 native TVs) and I tried to measure the aspect ratio it results. Seems like it's 16:10 (fit on height) so even if the TVs are 16:9 I found it usefull. XD
It's not accurate couse it's rounded as nobody should care about not noticeable differences, the value is stored as float, converting hex/float doesn't decrease the accurancy here, just makes it easier to read for human brain and imagine it easier from what those numbers came.
Pixel exact is good when something like geometry brakes couse it requires a change of 2 or more different values that depend on each other like with DBZ:BT3 WS patch;P, but from what I see KHRCOM is a simple one liner. If it would break from changing the value it would also break from 16:9 already and that's not the case(?). One pixel here or there doesn't really matter couse it's more about blinding thoughts than actually sensed differences, two different people seeking perfect proportions at such small numbers will surely get to completely different "perfect" numbers, hence it's useless waste of time. Comparing pictures is bad to begin with, and not soo exact as you think, couse you see unchanged elements of gui or wider perspective for example which fools our brain into seeing same things differently just like with illusion tricks, characters are also animated making each frame move slightly usually even at pause screen. Math will always be more accurate with stuff like that even awfully rounded/truncated vs human brain. Edit: Anyway fanatics who put too much love into games happens and I'm surely not into fighting with that, just wanna explain that by changing the number with such detail, you just waste more time than it's worth couse even if our eyes see everything on 100%, our brain have it's own "rounding" and "truncating" methods which makes our senses awfully inaccurate in actual use, might as well use simple math without rounding/truncating, it will be surely more accurate, but then again you'll need to check the unpatched value as I doubt anyone cared to make the math exact(hard to belive, but I did in my patches;P, even posted the exact values for 16:9 and 16:10, but they were rounded in the guide, which I used in previous post as a reminder). The EXACT values then would be: 16:9 X=0.75 Y=1.333333 16:10 X=0.833333 Y=1.2 From 16:9 to 16:10(through getting original value and changing to 16:10 would be a bit more "accurate" - in a non visible way) X=1.111111 Y=0.9 And I can pretty much guarantee it'll be more accurate than any eye pic to pic comparing even if it's done at 100x zoom pixel by pixel  .
No.47's widescreen patches - Part I
Important: Because of forum restrictions not all my PNACH files are attached to this post. If you can't find one of the patches listed below you'll find it attached to => my second post <= instead. For some games I posted an "ELF hack" instead of uploading a PNACH patch. These ELF hacks are applied by modifying the game image (more precisely: the game executable) with a HEX editor. Alternatively they can be converted to PNACH patches by using the disassembling tool PS2DIS. I don't have the time to test all the patches extensively. If you notice a problem, let me know. Keep in mind not everything can be patched: For example 2D stuff like menus and pre-rendered cutscenes will be stretched in most cases, you can't do anything against it. In case you wonder why I also made widescreen patches for games that have a built-in widescreen mode: These games are only cropping the image to get widescreen ("vert-"). All my patches are "hor+" with proper 16:9 aspect ratio.

[1] The Sega Rally Championship patch also restores the original "behind the car" camera from the arcade version (which strangely was changed for the otherwise faithful PS2 port). If you like the altered camera of the PS2 port better simply remove or comment out the corresponding line in the patch file. [2] Included in the Ridge Racer 5 patch is an optional camera mod which alters the "car view" camera to show the whole car. By default the mod is disabled, instructions how to enable it can be found in the PNACH file. [3] Hitman 2 Silent Assassin: Some 2D elements are cut off. Can probably be solved by adjusting the corresponding variables. [4] Ratchet & Clank works nicely in widescreen, but besides this PNACH patch you also need to patch one address in the dynamic memory. You can use hyakki's "Widescreen Helper" for that. See the instructions in the PNACH file. [5] The Dark Alliance 1 and 2 patches have one issue: Lights (more generally sprites) can be seen through walls. Fortunately it's not very noticeable because of the bird's eye camera perspective.
