PSOne Widescreen Patches

[HugoPocked]

@HugoPocked

Thanks for your effort. Have you tried to find ws codes for Silent Hill, MGS and Tomb Raider 1 ?

I don't remember, but when I have time I can try looking for them, I've learned a lot from Mips in the last few months.

In Gran Turismo 2 it is possible to force a maximum Widescreen with the value 00C0 but it will have errors in the races, the value 00F0 is more stable.

@demilich,
I downloaded the latest archive and this cheat was included.

Best regards.

hey thanks for posting these but are you sure these are correct? I tried it on the USA v1.0 GT2 discs and these codes actually stretch the image more instead of 16:9. Has anyone gotten these to work correctly?

You're welcome, do you know hexadecimal? You can modify the 00F0 value to whatever you want, the original value is 0140, just edit that original value according to your 16:9 calculations, The value 00F0 gives me a nice result in the Popstarter PS2, For this reason, I looked for the Widescreen to complement it with a fix that I have created for the black cars graphics in this emulator for Best gameplay in Ps2, but it can be used in any other emulator, This is why I share it.

In this game the resolution is:
320x240 4:3 = 0140 hex
If you want a Widescreen the logical thing would be:
428x240 16:9 = hex 01AC

The value 00F0 stretches the image to give a closer gaming experience in 4:3 TV TRC, But I shared the ram address which is what matters to get a widescreen, the rest is easy.

Try:
Gran Turismo 2 (USA) (v1.0)
SCUS_944.55/SCUS_944.88
8007B2AC 01AC

Can this be converted to an hex patch? I patched the game with the previous one but cutscenes and firs person camera were a real problem.

ok thanks for explaining, that makes sense now. for some reason I thought 00F0 was for 16:9       01AC works perfect. thanks again!

@gamemasterpic Could you do a widescreen patch for metal gear Pal SLES-01734?

The values you posted for the US version are in this version too but if I replace them the game crashes.

@Huho Pocket I patched the game with your code and Played on my Dreamcast, it works like a charm! Thanks.

You can also play it on the PS2 through Popstarter via USB or another device, I created a graphic correction for this game that did not work on Popstarter, If you want to try the game without a disc it is a good option, I can give you the link where I shared the correction code.
