Fixing unplayable games

Hot Shots Tennis
Serial: SCUS-97610
CRC: 72326E67

Patch disables shadows to fix frame rate issues. Shadows are not rendered in HW mode, so this is just a speed boost directed towards that issue.

Ported mrjared123's patch to Japan version. No-interlace code included as well (set interlacing setting to "None")

Code:

Disables shadows rendering. Fixes the image on both hardware (dark tint and broken colours) and software renderers (overbrightness issue, no Autoflush is needed with this patch).

Hy good people,

Could a 25 fps limit patch for PAL Mgs3 (similar to the existing 30 fps NTSC one) be converted/created by you talented people?

The 30 fps patch gives a nice boost on potato hardware, and the PAL one would give a nice extra boost and possibly help achieve full speed in those beautiful, yet demanding cutscenes.

Thanks guys!

Here is a pack of all the King of Fighters 3D patches to attempt to fix the backgrounds.

This is an extraction of what we had in the GameDB, however since Software mode is fixed (and this is basically a sprite based game) we recommend you play the game in software mode.

Hello!
I wonder if someone is able to fix this.
SH Shattered Memories has a variable internal framerate which makes the game very jittery even despite a stable 60 VPS. This can be solved with Cycle Rate 180% - BAM - smooth 60 FPS everywhere. Sadly in a minute, the flashlight becomes very jittery in outside areas for some reason. Not sure, but seems to be connected with deinterlacing since choosing Blend BBW makes it jitter less, but doesnt fix it completely. I wish someone is able to fix that via the cheat code.

Another option may be properly capping the FPS with the cheat code since doing it via the PCSX2 settings makes FMVs 15 FPS and pressing TAB with 50\50 chance breaks loading the gameplay. I think smooth 30 fps are much better than stuttering 40-60.

What do you think guys?
Thanks!

This thread isn't about making computer less wobbly, it's about making games work that never worked. Make your own thread.

That is not about the computer, but I got you. Sorry for posting in the wrong topic.
