PCSX2 - Widescreen Game Patches

[Devina]

Thanks for the Sly 1 patches! I'll take it off my WIP patches for now.

Someone also reported that Sly 2 didn't work with the current widescreen patch, but I can't remember why.

Thanks for the Sly 1 patches! I'll take it off my WIP patches for now.

Someone also reported that Sly 2 didn't work with the current widescreen patch, but I can't remember why.

The issue with sly 2 is that the picture of the winch in the ballroom can not be taken. I have also made a fix for this but I was unable to test it because my disc broke

I could test it myself. How far into the game is this? If it's less than an hour, I can do it.

Also, I tried to make a zoom fix for Persona 3 cutscenes using Nemesis' Persona 4 zoom fix. The point of this is to hide the moonwalkers, as there's some of them in P3 too.

The "003bb974" address is correct, but I'm not sure if everything else is. Unfortunately, the game freezes after the cutscene when you enter your bedroom. Since you seem skilled at stuff like this, could you please look into fixing this issue?

[PsxFan107]

I did actually test that fix in the ballroom and can verify that it works there but I wanted to fully play the game to check if there are no other problems. As for Persona 3, would you mind uploading a save so I can look into this? Also, which version of persona 3 is this?

[Devina]

It should be fixed everywhere since the issue (as I've read) seems to be caused by a viewfinder not being able to zoom in enough. I think I'll take Sly 2 (NTSC-U, at least) off the WIP patches until someone reports further bugs.

As for Persona 3, it's literally the first 10 mins of the game. Yukari shows you your bedroom and the game should freeze. Just remember, this is FES, not vanilla P3.

[PsxFan107]

I just tried P3FES with the codes you posted and it... didn't freeze. I honestly have no idea what is happening.

[Devina]

It should freeze (a blue screen) once you enter the bedroom.

The console log spams me with this:

I'm not having that issue when I enter the bedroom. Could you upload a save state please?

[Devina]

If it's not freezing for you, I doubt a save state will help much, plus there's so many factors and variables involved a save state, such as the version of the emu, other cheats which may be used, etc.

Could you perhaps "remake" the patch, with the knowledge that

patch=1,EE,003bb974,word,3c013fa1 // 80=hor+, a1=moonwalk fix, aa=vert-

is the line which zooms in on cutscenes, and adjust the surrounding lines accordingly?

I think this would work best, as I don't have much confidence in the patch I made.
