PCSX2 - Widescreen Game Patches

[nemesis2000]

This Sonic Heroes patch has the benefit of unstretching the HUD compared to the current patch in the archive and is much shorter. This patch does it by patching RenderWare functions to scale the aspect ratio and frustum

Proper modifying of aspect ratio through rw functions doesn't require any frustrum modification at all

[gamemasterplc]

Mine scales the aspect ratio in a different way which requires frustum hacking and prevents the left-aligned HUD problem. If i did modify the values when RwCameraSetViewWindow was called the HUD would be left-aligned.

Mine scales the aspect ratio in a different way.

the only right way is the way that described in rw sdk

Pac-Man World 2 has a built in widescreen but it's skewed.

The built-in widescreen can only be activated by hacking.

Built in widescreen (NTSC-U) V1.1

This is raw format code for SLUS 20224 (v1.1). Can you guys please could try to improve it (as PsxFan107 said, this is skewed) and archive it as pnach file?

So can you do this for other games like FFX ?

[gamemasterplc]

No as I don't have any other PS2 games.

The "force english" in the FFX International widescreen patch in Devina's pack wasn't working for me so i changed a few lines in the pnach file

@Gamemaster perhaps you could share your method for finding the address. A HUD/GUI fix is a very desired patch and perhaps your method is one that could be applied to more games.

***This game could not be patched with "Controller Remapper 1.20" to fix the annoying "Left/Right Inverted" on the right joystick camera control.  The NTSC version was impossible to patch and get working ....................... So I used the PAL version of the game and added the Controller Remapper 1.20 .pnach values into the patch file, EVERYTHING WORKS, (Open PS2 Loader version 973_All, will give an error when I try to use a VMC (virtual memory card), so I must now save to the real memory card ............................. Finally fixed this game, the PAL version has a 50/60 hertz selector so its as good as the NTSC version, without further patching.

I haven't encountered anyother problematic games like the one above with Controller Remapper 1.20, however, I'm testing just a few other problematic games right now, and will add some patches below, in less than a few hours from now.
..............................................................................................................
..............................................................................................................
Altered Beast (Inverted Left/Right and Up/Down Fix + Widescreen)
Devil May Cry 3 SE Pal 50/60 Hertz Option (Inverted Left/Right Fix + Widescreen)
Galerians Ash (Inverted Up/Down Fix + Widescreen)
Okage - Shadow King (Inverted L1/R1 and Left/Right Fix + Widescreen)
Musashi - Samurai Legend (Inverted up/down and Left/Right Fix + Widescreen)
Naruto - Uzumaki Chronicles 1 and 2 (Inverted up/down and Left/Right Fix + Widescreen)

CHEAT FIX FOR CONTROLS (using the CHT folder of Open PS2 Loader, which is using a .cht cheat file)
Dot Hack 1, 2, 3, 4 (apply the widescreen hack first from the archive in the opening post, D-Pad to Left Joystick Switch, fixes the Left Joystick problem of moving in straight lines when you try to move left or right)
Steel Dragon EX (d-pad to Left Joystick for the 2D shooter that is included, this is the Japanese version, your only going to apply the patch to "SHIEN1.ELF" using the pnach patcher)

(EDIT::Turns out Dragon Quest 5 Eng 1.2 has the decrypted elf file, so mastercode finder was able to work, only problem is, the game does not identify that the cheat is enabled, lots of things were probably rewritten during the translations, fortunately the L1/R1 camera is not inverted, only the Right Joystick's Left/Right)

(current version of OPL 973 gives you the Cheat Option to Auto Select for each individual game, versus the older version of OPL, which gave an error message if you enabled the option and the game had no cheat file you was trying to play, so the setup is easier)

It just so happened the aspect ratio reading function read the 2D pane scale as well in Sonic Heroes.
