^ Nemesis, if you've been working on anything lately, please post your patches here or update your changelog.

I almost missed your Syphon Filter Dark Mirror and Logan's Shadow codes because you never notified it. :/

I added them to the archive.

I'm interested in your updated Haunting Ground and Silent Hill 3 PC patches so please release them.
I tried playing Silent Hill 3 on PC and the FOV tool didn't work, so I'd love to see if yours will.

Indeed. Warned.

@nemesis2000:

Recently I was playing Return to Castle Wolfenstein, using your widescreen patch. I played through a couple of levels and the patch is working beautifully, with one minor flaw: If you look through the binoculars, sniper scope or use one of the mounted machine guns, the FOV is distorted.

nope, because cutscenes zoom in HG is glitchy and not stable
in SH3 all exept FOV fix also is glitchy, not stable and not ready

FOV value in SH3 on PC is identical to the PS2 version

Code:

find
00 AE47613F

replace
00 C3F5283F

Oh well, thanks for trying anyway.

Since you're interested in Haunting Ground, you may want to check out Rule of Rose.
Game could use an FMV fix and black bar fix. Looks really good in HD and widescreen patched.

It letterboxes whenever a scene happens, or when Jennifer examines anything.

I tested your new patch briefly (on a real console) and everything seems to work now, awesome! I had one random freeze, but I don't think your patch was the reason...

[Ratchet 2,3 & Deadlocked stuff]

Again thanks for taking a look! As you certainly noticed, patching Ratchet 2 and 3 messes up the HUD/GUI, since only some parts are affected by the FOV change while others remain unchanged. It's a pity since Ratchet Deadlocked, the "worst" of the PS2 Ratchet games doesn't have these issues...

As for Ratchet 2 and 3, parts of the GUI are using the same value (3F1EB852) as the gameplay FOV, so they are patched as well when batch replacing. I hoped that maybe only one ISO address would be used for the whole game (unlike the gameplay FOV) and tracked down some addresses in the ISO image for Ratchet 3:

0x8E2A07F0 - save symbol message
0x8E2A3B4C - weapon wheel
0x8E2E8304 - HUD (health status etc.)

Not patching those addresses fixes the messed up GUI, but only for the first level. And finding from hundreds of candidate addresses those that should not be patched seems impossible...

Alternatively, the unpatched parts from the GUI could be patched as well to match the rest. But I wasn't able to patch them, maybe they can't be patched at all?

Do you have any ideas regarding that problem? Or is patching Ratchet 2 & 3 properly simply not possible?

---

BTW, they same happens with the Ratchet 1 hack, although only the Options menu etc. is affected and it can be easily overlooked, especially since the in-game HUD isn't affected at all. As for Ratchet Deadlocked, it seems besides the in-game FOV nothing else is affected.

Just for reference:

Ratchet & Clank - Going Commando (NTSC-U)
- works, but messed up HUD/GUI

Code:

value 1

find
0F3F 013C 69EA 2134
replace with
3F3F 013C 3BE3 2134

value 2

find
1E3F 013C 52B8 2134
replace with
533F 013C 73A0 2134

Ratchet & Clank - Up your Arsenal (NTSC-U)
- works, but messed up HUD/GUI
Ratchet Deadlocked (NTSC-U)
- works perfectly (?)

Code:

value 1

find
1E3F 013C 52B8 2134
replace with
533F 013C 73A0 2134

value 2

find
0E3F013C 71152134
replace with
3D3F013C F3712134

even if it possible it'll take a hell lot of time
