I think it's about time I uploaded my junk. My testing wasn't too thorough at about 10 min per game (menu/cutscene/gameplay) but it did catch several mistakes and I was able to fix all but one (Ico).
Below lies my updated progress report.
All .pnach files are in the ZIP archives attached at the bottom. If you notice any problems caused by the patches please PM me. If you'd like to get started patching yourself, check out
the beginner's guide.
2012/07/14 UPDATE: I've uploaded a new ZIP containing many changes. Some new patches have been added, some old ones fixed, and some removed (only if ELF patch is superior). Major changes include:
- Final Fantasy X and X-2 patches removed; ELF patch has render fix
- Kagero II Dark Illusion patch removed; ELF patch has proper widescreen
- Xenosaga II and III patches fixed; now with proper widescreen + render fix
- Many new patches, including Maken Shao which also removes GSdx glitches
synce's NTSC-J widescreen patches

Failed; cheat patching impossible (7+):
Some games are simply impossible to patch for 'proper' widescreen with Cheat Engine due to their memory management. You must use alternative methods like ELF patching. Here's a list of my games falling into this category. I'll probably never patch these, along with anything that has a lot of 2D or prerendered art (Persona, Odin Sphere, etc).
- Baroque (WIP patch here)
- Dark Cloud
- Red Ninja Kekka no Mai (WIP patch here)
- Reiselied Ephemeral Fantasia
- Ryu ga Gotoku
- Ryu ga Gotoku 2
- Valkyrie Profile Silmeria (zoom hack here)
Widescreen Helper (4+)
hyakki created
a program that can automatically patch some problematic games not easily patchable by Cheat Engine or ELF. The program is always being updated to support more games, but to play just the four games listed below in 16:9 widescreen, use these settings:
Find 3F4CCCCD, Replace 3F19999A
- Onimusha 3
- Shin Onimusha Dawn of Dreams
- Shadow Hearts 2 Director's Cut
- Shadow Hearts 3 From the New World
Ico WS Patcher (1)
miseru99 has created a widescreen patcher that works with all versions of Ico, another pesky game that can't easily be patched using Cheat Engine. You can download it
here.
ELF Patching (30+)
nemesis2000 of psx-scene discovered you can patch games to support widescreen via their executable (ELF) files. The files looks something like this on your PS2 disc: SLPM_650.77. This method can patch games that are impossible to patch with Cheat Engine.
Just extract and hex edit the appropriate file with the updated values, save the file as something like SLPM_650.77-wide.elf, drag and drop your ISO into PCSX2, then drag and drop the ELF file to start the game. I recommend HXD for hex editing.
Note: Remember that modifying the ELF will usually change the game's CRC - if the game has any CRC hacks in gsdx (or cheats) they will become disabled. So if you're curious why your game suddenly looks like crap, that's why. Check out miseru's awesome patcher to fix this problem. Also, if PCSX2 crashes while launching the ELF, try renaming the root folder to English (no symbols or kanji).
Below you will find ELF patches created, altered, or simply verified by me to work with NTSC-J. To understand where these values come from,
this might be useful to you. Do not try patching these games in Cheat Engine - it's impossible I tells ya! Well, except FFX/X-2 if you don't mind missing graphics. And some Simple 2000 games (eg, Daibijin).

*Originally patched by nemesis2000. Big props to him especially for the Demento hack, which out of sheer luck and boredom I found out could be used for Devil May Cry among other games, including some not listed (so try this one before others!)
