PCSX2 - Widescreen Game Patches

[ggxxtonghao]

Original Widescreen hack by nemesis2000

[ElHecht]

If you directly change the horizontal value and walk around in gameplay (especially when climbing stairs), the camera will distort and characters will be fat again. If you want to see what I mean, disable the second line, play the game, and rotate the camera a lot.

The current widescreen patch has a zoom (vert-) value which fixes this.
But it's vert- widescreen, so it kind of sucks. I don't know, maybe ElHecht or Nemesis could look at it. It's an interesting glitch.

Modifying the horizontal fov causes character popups in cut-scenes. gameplay looks ok. I put both versions (hor+ and ver-) in a pnach file. imho this game should be played with ver- modification.

Thank you ElHecht, I'm looking forward to trying it out and seeing how it look

I felt like I wanted to give something back to the everyone on the board for the awesome work you've been doing, so I've tried to do a widescreen hack of "Makai Kingdom: Chronicles of the Sacred Tome" myself. After a lot of trail and error I think I've done it. The 2D sprites are still stretched and unfortunately, I'm not sure if there's anything I can do about it, I'm still learning.

Here it is anyway though, if anybody is interested

Needs a render fix, if you zoom in with the standard rifle (4x zoom), some items on the edge of the screen will disappear, very noticeable in mission 5, in the city.

If it is not much to ask, could you also make a hex codes for Project Snowblind NTSC version? I just received a second controller and would like to test multiplayer, but devina's .pnach won't help me on this occasion as it patches singleplayer only

I only have the PAL version of the game. Sending the elf's won't help much cause you need a memory dump for each elf when it's loaded. Did you try the pal hex codes ? They might work for the ntsc version, too.

Yeah, I had a feeling my patch was a few lines off.
I had trouble porting the offsets. Sorry about that.
I really don't want to give it another go or else I'll get a headache, so I'll leave it to ElHecht.

I worte a little comment at the end of the patch to explain why you can't just modify the values. the current ntsc patch will overwrite game code ... and nobody knows what this will cause ...

Needs a render fix, if you zoom in with the standard rifle (4x zoom), some items on the edge of the screen will disappear, such as the window on the building in the screen shot.

Also I was unable to convert over nemesis2000's menu fix, so there is still fat soldiers in the soldier select screen.

Wow, some great progress, guys!

Modifying the horizontal fov causes character popups in cut-scenes. gameplay looks ok. I put both versions (hor+ and ver-) in a pnach file. imho this game should be played with ver- modification.

Trapt (PAL-E) (SLES-53824)

Is it just the first cutscene? I like patches to be as hor+ as possible.
If the pop-ups are mainly only in the first cutscene, then I think we should keep it hor+.
I plan on doing a Trapt playthrough later on, so I can test it.
I ported it to NTSC-U anyhow.

Nice job on Maikai Kingdom. I will also port it to NTSC-U, along with Wreckless to get them off the requests.

do ya'll think that these kind of patches could fix black or liney cutscenes in some games?
