Many Valkyrie Profile 2 Silmeria Codes hacked

[Maori-Jigglypuff]

I have reprogrammed small Instruction Areas (Work far from finished) of Valkyrie Profile 2 Silmeria with following Results yet:

1) No black Borders

2) Disable Sun and its Cones

3) Disable the very bright Sky or Background like in Shadow of the Colossus

4) Character/World Brightness Modifier

5) Enhance Game Sharpness to Maximum

6) No Shadow

7) Camera Zoom Out

Although the Codes are 100% correct they are working only about 1 Minute and then the Game freezes.As some of you might know the Game
has a Protection and my Question is did someone already try to disable this Protection ? I will try to disable or complete Rewrite the
responsible Areas when i have a more powerful Computer.This Game also runs very slow on my Notebook like Shadow of the Colossus.

Second Question: "Radiata Stories" und "Rogue Galaxy" possibly have the same Protection like Valkyrie Profile 2 ?

Radiata Stories have the same kind of protection afaik, RG shouldn't. Here is something for VP2.

OK, some Addresses beginning with D or E must be Joker Addresses.Looks interesting.For NTSC Version.
Will try to find out later how this is exactly working.Thanks a lot.

I tried the above GameGuard code and the game started freezing about halfway through, suggesting the code wasn't working fully. I had to abandon that playthrough.

The best Solution is to reprogramm the Block which is responsible for freezing the Game.I mean to use MIPS Instructions
without preceding Addresses with a D or E.Besides this Game has a second Protection which causes for instance the black
Borders Codeblock to relocate in Memory and probably some other Instruction Blocks.

Haven't you requested infinite Health and Grip for Shadow of the Colossus some time ago ?
I also have released a Patch for the NTSC Version of SotC:

You can try it if you are interested.Hope it works for you.

Did you manage to figure out how to disable the cheat protection?

[StriFe]

Even if it's not a cheat, it is a patch-ish. Post it in the proper subforum Maori https://forums.pcsx2.net/Thread-Post-you...tches-here
