PCSX2 - Widescreen Game Patches

[Devina]

^ The idea is good, but it causes a garbage freeze-frame side effect on each side whenever an FMV plays... it looks kind of bad. Do you know if it happens for all FMVs?

Also, the bad side effect may also simply be a result of PCSX2. Switching from hardware to software mode and back with F9 fixes it by returning it to black.

I converted the Starwars Battlefront 2 NTSC pnach to Pal. This suffers the same issue as the NTSC version in that it still needs a full render fix.
This games also uses the same pnach code as the NTSC version, 02F4B541

gametitle=Star Wars: Battlefront 2 (PAL) SLES_535.01
patch=1,EE,005B074C,word,3c013f2b //partial render fix

patch=1,EE,00582814,word,3c013f40 //hor fov

nope, in software the same effect, that is why my patch is vert- only

Keep pressing F9 repeatedly, and it should turn black eventually.
I'd like to see if it looks normal on a real PS2.

The Atelier Iris 3 Grand Phantasm (NTSC) (4CCC9212) by nemesis2000 has various issues:

-Needs render fix    
-Breaks 'burst' state With patch:     Without:    
-Black bars in some scenes move from left to right as the character moves (happens in all alterworld entrances and in some small rooms)        
-Moonwalker syndrome (no screenie, it only happens in some cutscenes)

Just pointing out so it's noted
