PCSX2 - Widescreen Game Patches

[xan1242]

Couldn't find information about this anywhere. ProStreet on PS2 still has its widescreen mode, but the menu option for it was removed and it can't be enabled using the game / console. It works exactly like all other versions of the game.

Code:

gametitle = Need for Speed ProStreet (NTSC-U)[SLUS-21658]
comment = Created by Aero_

// Widescreen Mode for 16:9
patch=1,EE,00A98038,byte,01

Heh, should've expected YOUR inquisition! 

Funnily enough I took a look at this exact thing right today, made a patch and thought of putting it here. Looks like you beat me to it!

While your patch will work, it's risky because it depends that the user profile is always loaded at that address (which it will be on PCSX2, but it may not be on a real PS2).

A safer way to patch it is to patch DALOptions::GetWidescreen to always return 1 (which can be found in DALOptions::GetInt as case 5065 in the PS2 version).

Code:

// NFS ProStreet ReleaseOpt NTSC-U (CRC: DD3CE71B)
// by xan1242/Xanvier

// force widescreen -- make DALOptions::GetWidescreen always return 1
patch=1,EE,00168A10,word,24020001 // li v0, 1

And another one for the MilestoneOpt (aka debug build) that is leftover on the disc as 04PROST.BIN.

Code:

// NFS ProStreet MilestoneOpt/Debug NTSC-U (CRC: A72C6613)
// by xan1242/Xanvier

// force widescreen -- make DALOptions::GetWidescreen always return 1
patch=1,EE,0016C310,word,24020001

EDIT: I could extend this code even further to get the aspect ratio from the PS2 internal settings to make it work as intended. It'd be completely unnecessary but kinda cool as it's supposed to work that way (hence why there is no menu option).

Onimusha Dawn of Dreams only has a widescreen patch only for the first disc (of two) from what I can see unless somehow its picked up during the disc swaps.
 The cheats_ws.zip has the (Disc 1) FE44479E pnach but not the (Disc 2) FFDE85E9 pnach codes.

Any Chance that boot the game with EE Set to interpreter and then changing it back to Recompilear after the game was loaded will help?

If so,
please add this here

Is there any widescreen patch for Jak Daxter 1 that doesn't stretch vertical as the native widescreen of the game?

[EnthusiaFan7225]

I notice that R: Racing Evolution's 16:9 aspect ratio is cropped from the 4:3 aspect ratio. And I don't see a widescreen PNACH with 16:9 with 4:3 FOV camera for NTSC-J/NTSC/PAL versions.
I tried to find the value to change the FOV via Cheat Engine, but I can't seem to find it as there is no proper tutorial on how to change it. If anyone could please help find the value and create a PNACH for this game, to match the FOV based on the 4:3 aspect ratio for 16:9 aspect ratio, then that would be really appreciated.

sorry, isn't there a widescreen hack for Tekken Tag Tournament "844B58EE"? not "40DA9BB8" and "06979F19".

Colin McRae Rally 3 NTSC
SLUS-20502
CRC - AA294EDC

Code:

patch=1,EE,002CA9D4,byte,01

NTSC version has got widescreen functions left from the PAL version. They are hidden for the performance reasons probably, as the regular 4:3 NTSC viewport is zoomed in when compared with the PAL one.

EDIT: Patch has been replaced with a better version. Old one had to be executed before starting the game. New one does work straight after activation. If you want to disable the widescreen, turn off the patch and go to the graphics settings in game to reset the widescreen flag.
