PCSX2 - Widescreen Game Patches

[Mesenzio]

Thank you!

[DieSkaarj]

I have ported Psychonauts to PAL and put the OPL .cht file up on my github. I am going to try and port the Time Crisis games' widescreen. I reached a snag with the NTSC Stolen patch in that the address the pnach replaces has no data in or around it.

I plan on updating the archive in 2 weeks so everyone, please update or post any hacks you have.

Also, can anyone patch Pirates: The Legend Of Black Kat? Someone wants this game done.
I tried myself but had no luck.

Thanks Devina.

I have just cracked it. I am new to this so it took me a while but I got there in the end

However at the moment it needs a render fix.

Great, I found it for the NTSC-U version too (CRC=4DD2DD77):

patch=1,EE,00152eb0,word,3c013f40 //3c013f80

I seem to be getting an issue where water reflections and parts of hills are disappearing, so I need someone to help make a render fix.

I'm not very experienced in making render fixes. There's a guide here, but I haven't looked into it much (very busy these days):

If anyone can help, I'd appreciate it.

CDD6C078 - Wrath Unleashed
BBAE448F - Stolen
904B7BA0 - Cell Damage Overdrive (Needs HUD fix)

5CCA0737 - Barbarian (added Menu and HUD fixes)
591ABA45 - Beyond Good and Evil
30FABE51 - Time Crisis 2 (Needs an aim fix, aiming is still in 4:3 aspect)

These are all PAL releases.

[Edit - added Stolen and Cell Damage Overdrive.]

[Edit - added Time Crisis 3, Wrath Unleashed, Crisis Zone and Dragon Rage.]

If someone ever has a chance to look, the NTSC WS Patch for Project Snowblind will cause TLB misses and crash the game.

Slot 1 savestate - finish the cutscene and walk through the door (This is the 3rd level of the game iirc)

Hey there,

I have found part of a Bloodrayne (PAL) widescreen hack but it needs a camera fix.

Code:

gametitle=Bloodrayne (PAL-M4) SLES_514.74
comment=Widescreen hack by dieSkaarj

patch=1,EE,002c7c90,word,3c013fab //3c013f80

I investigated that memory area in cheat engine (by transposing the address to: 202c7c90) and found that there are words that have an affect on the cameras' behaviour (mostly ABxx with a four byte offset to the hacks' address). I am not sure if the camera should be recalibrated to work with a widescreen setting. It seems like a lot of hassle for a game that has a widescreen mode built in on the NTSC release.

Anyway I am rambling. Any help or insight is greatly appreciated.

[Edit - I had an epiphany and got the gameplay in 16:9. Patch is attached.]

Spongebob and Incredibles games no longer require a patch to boot properly. These should be removed from the WS patches.
