Can I make a request for the ntsc-u version of neopets the darkest fairie

I don't know what you're referring to by "proposed" values, but if you're thinking of things like the widescreen helper tool's built-in values, 1.0 (3F800000) would probably be the most likely value to apply to both horizontal and vertical FOVs. 1.0 is way more generic than a lot of other potential FOV values, so it makes sense that it'd apply in more games. But that's not to say that it'll apply to all or even most games. Other widescreen helper values like 447.0 (43DF8000) and 448.0 (43E00000) look like they'd have a higher chance of applying to vertical FOVs, since 448 is often used as an internal height resolution.

FOVs aren't set up in a standardized way across all PS2 games. Every game potentially has a different way of doing FOVs. Having said that, you might have an easier time finding FOVs in certain games if they use the same game engine as another game that already has widescreen hacks available for it.

Many PS2 game developers probably designed in-house game engines that were used for all of their games. So for example, if you're trying to create widescreen hacks for game developer A's second game, and hacks are already available for their first game, there's a moderate chance that the first game's hacks could point you in the right direction to hack the second game. Be careful not to confuse developers with publishers. Publishers like EA have a whole lot of developers under their portfolios, so it's highly likely that their games use a myriad of different game engines. You'd want to look for specific "teams" responsible for given games or series of games. Or try to research games that use popular generic engines like RenderWare.

I really appreciate your help, about the “proposed values”, I was talking about synce’s “Useful Reference/Guide to Viewport Render Expansion” and devina40’s “How to convert .pnachs to other regions (Common widescreen values)”, I’m trying to make an elf hack no luck using cheat engine, these are what I’ve got:
1.- Horizontal fov and some zoom addresses (applying hor fov results messing the game, because 2D stuff stay the same)
2.- I need to find the main hud address or
3.- I need to find the vertical fov address
I’ve tried 447.0 and 448.0 as you proposed in cheat engine then no luck, I think even finding the vertical fov, the game could still result messed up, maybe not.
Thank you very much again.

The update was adjusting the 3d bit after picking a turtle into widescreen as well as the turtle on the level selection. Also the in-game zoom value is now an ASM hack instead of a ram address.
