PCSX2 - Widescreen Game Patches

[No.47]

You probably don't see the screen switching to 16:9 since you're increasing the vertical FOV at the same time (the addresses to change the horizontal and vertical FOV are close to each other). So what you get to see instead is the camera "zooming out".

Also keep in mind that all addresses subsequent to the address responsible for the screen turning green are still possible candidates, even if you can't see any FOV changes (which is no wonder, the screen is green and maybe frozen after all). You need to sort out these addresses since they make it impossible to examine what all the other addresses do.

you can enter codes manually. Create a new entry on codebreaker on your ps2 and find the master code for the game you want, create new code entry for both the master code and the widescreen code and you are done, you don't need to load the codes off the usb drive. The process is explained much better on some ps2 forums which were linked a few pages ago.

Really? reading it all again it seems I need the 'raw' master code, I had the CB master code, now it works, thanks

Where do I paste the code to for FFX to become 16:9?

I can't believe I haven't found this before.

Edit: I found downloads for Pnachs to input but they are NTSC, I'm PAL.

Nevermind, sussed it out, thanks a lot for this =D

Is there any reason why patches for Xenosaga I and III are available for the J version, but not the NTSC? Is there any way we could get them transferred to work on NTSC? I'd love that!

OT but, I though I would let ye know, this method also works for PC games of which don't support widescreen. I patched Final Fantasy 7, and 8 for the PC last night, to support 16:9. Although it is significantly harder to patch the game after you've found the correct values, but it does work.

Did you do this the same way as for PCSX2 ?
Maybe PS1 are possible,too ?

Didn't really get an anwser last time - so maybe this time ?

Last revision of PCSX Reloaded has a built in widescreen hack.

I tested with Jackie Chan Stuntmaster and it worked perfectly.

Here's also the patch for Resident Evil Outbreak NTSC-U but with the game code SLUS 207.65, it uses a different address by both already posted PAL and NTSC versions plus it has a different CRC. (I know it's silly)
