PCSX2 - Widescreen Game Patches

[Devina]

Is there a better pnach out there for "Final Fantasy X International (SLPS-25088)"?

The one I have currently is "widescreen" but it has tons of disappearing geometry on the sides, something the NTSC U normal FFX never had with the widescreen patch.

Check the one in the archive (I ported it a few months ago).
Should fix the majority of render problems.

Requesting 4 games (all NTSC-U):

- Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone
- Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets
- Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban
- Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire

Order of the Phoenix and Half Blood Prince already feature in-game 16:9.

As he forgot to mention, he is looking for 16:10 widescreen patch

No requesting 16:10 patches, it's one of the rules. >_<

[StriFe]

why the hell is that? :o some players have still a 16:10 monitor. It's a bit weird to forbid something like that.

[Devina]

Because we have almost 670 patches and they're all defaulted to 16:9, with over 95% of them lacking 16:10 support.

16:10 only complicates things... It's just better to phase it out entirely.

16:10 PCSX2 users should just use 16:9 and accept the teeny black bars on the top and bottom until they eventually get a 16:9 monitor.

For 16:9 you need only find the X axis of the viewport. For 16:10 you need to find both the X, and Y axis, and alter both. People looking for 16:10 can have a look for themselves. There's a small algorithm for finding the 16:10 values also, but I can't remember what it is atm, it's here somewhere, but the Y address is usually in the same general area as the X address.

So for example: if the current 16:9 X address started with 203 then search in the 203xxxxx area for the corresponding Y one.

That sounds a bit arrogant, to decide for others what they should do. Would I be correct to guess that you don't have a 16:10 monitor? Also, saying "no, it's against the rules" isn't really a good answer after you (probably) wrote the rules yourself earlier.

I would fully understand, however, if you don't want to get into 16:10 patches. As you said, it's going to be a hell of a lot of work to start maintaining also 16:10 patches, and you don't owe nothing to no one, and so it's a perfectly valid choice of you to not want to get into it.

If I were you, I would just recommend that whoever wants 16:10 patches, just start porting/maintaining them himself, since you're not interested in taking this on you.

[Devina]

I'm not trying to decide anything for 16:10 users, it's just my advice. And yeah, I'd rather not get into it.

What's more arrogant, me refusing to support 16:10, or other people requesting extra effort to support an aspect ratio that's being phased out? It can go both ways...

Just remember it's the aspect ratio I'm not fond of, not the person, so don't take it personally any 16:10 users.
