Are you using this patch?

gametitle=Shadow the Hedgehog SLES_532.42
comment=Widescreen Hack
//Ported to PAL by Nik1895
patch=1,EE,207D1088,extended,3F199999 // 3F9DA591 chaos control fov
patch=1,EE,20847E98,extended,3FAAAAAA // 3F800000 main fov

Make sure it's "3FAAAAAA" (exactly that), and there's not a typo in there.

@Pixelise, seems that the patch not works fine when is patched with PS2 Patch Engine, it makes the screen too many stretched in the PS2.
In the other hand i modified a little one value of the patch for more better accuracy, the original makes the screen a little narrow in the emulator.

I converted the patch to the PS2RD format and works fine, well the font fix not works fine even in the emulator, in some menus are out of the screen.
This is how looks fine with the PS2RD integrated of the OPL running in the internal HDD:

I need see what happens with the PS2 Patch Engine, and the font fixes,

Well, happy new year

Best regards.

I wish I had widescreen KOF Maximum Impact Regulation A (NTSC-J). I love this game and it has great graphics. Why have not they done yet?

I checked again the game Shadow the Hedgehog for patch it with PS2 Patch Engine and definitely the patch not works well
with this method in the PS2, is needed use the RAW codes.

I improved the pnach patch with better accurate widescreen, and i fixed the font for both patches, the pnach and the ps2rd:

Formula One 2001 needs an improved WS patch. There are some 3D graphical artifacts caused by the current one. Removing the 1st line under "Render Fix" removed the artifacts after rebooting the game. I didn't notice any difference with it removed, so I'm not sure what it did

Code:

gametitle=Formula One 2001 (U)(SCUS-97150)

So since I figured a decent way of having both the original hacks along with the tweak I made for 21:9 monitors, I thought I should share what I've done so far. Kept 16:9 codes as the active ones, but all you'd need to do is switch the slashes over if you want it for a 21:9 display.

Code:

gametitle=Dark Cloud 2 (SCUS-97213)
