"hort +" the way ratchet is moved up a little in the left thumb you have there. Â Was used in the PS2's version of Need For Speed Hot Pursuit 2, and the same value was not used in the xbox or game cube version by comparison ................
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vP7uPMt8GJs&t=134s ..................... that so much is not an issue, because it makes the game look much better.
(I have to compare the game here to the original, because I'm at a loss one two points)
"hort +", is normal and not a result of your patch because, the patch does nothing I am using ... then the position of ratchet will look the same without applying the patch, I'll have to test that, because, atm, it looks different after patching (The Patched Games I am using from the patches you made with the removed values appear to give the "hort +" in the same position you reference in the left thumb)
........................
........................
I'll have to test the "hort +" with the original game ................. so far said the original game corrects the vertical axis by .75, and your patch does not address this issue, or am I mistaken? (Right now, the good side of your patch is the "hort +" issue, that is an improvement, if that is what is happening)

The images I posted were of the built-in widescreen without my widescreen patch.
The "thumbnail" on the left was a horizontal stretch not Hor +.
My patch forces the in-game widescreen on and bypasses the ".75 vertical correction" and produces proper hor+.
I am trying to work with No.47 to resolve this issue currently, so please stop interfering.

horizontal +, in the same way you referenced it............well, I only ever played ratchet and clank 2/3, first using the original widescreen patch in the archive, and, apparently that was damaged goods to begin with. Â So not using the patch at all, makes the game look much better..................that is the lesson I am learning right now........LMAO
still i'm almost finished updating the original files on my ps2, plus the controller patch for ratchet and clank2, BRB

I can see the edge of the rock that ratchet stands on in the beginning of 3, and the left rocket booster in the same frame, with the widescreen patch applied, that I edited. Right now, I can't align the screen to illustrate this example with the original games, so it does something, going to double check that fact.
......
......
sorry about that, and by all means this issue is resolved in my opinion, I just wanted to clarify your statement of the patch you made doing nothing for the benefit of other users, with a verifiable example, ratchet and clank 3 for example (see above, between the dots) (that is removing the value grouping that pnach won't write to iso with... ... ... ...the checksum values in the patches will not allow Ratchet and Clank 2 to boot, but causes a black screen... ... ... ...the statement you made about the patch writing to blank space and doing nothing because this value was removed, is false) (I ended up patching both my ratchet 2 and 3 games using the modified versions of your original patch)
(anyway good work, btw, you choose to reply to my statement, so don't keep beating on me, use a private message next time, if your conversation does not concern the topic or this discussion) (I'll try to avoid you next time, but remember I only replied to you, to address this issue for other users, so not only for my benefit) (again thanks for your good work)
There is a problem with the patch on an actual system and No.47 and I will resolve it. Please stop involving yourself in this matter.

Hm, after adding the code the game starts "cropped" (probably same as vert- but also the HUD is partially cut off). The bolt counter is some really high value right from the beginning and is updated every second or so...

I will double-check this, the result doesn't seem to make any sense
It is correct, trust me. Just tell me what the number is.
1058977874 = first unpatched hor FOV value
Right from the beginning. Does not change after the first cutscene... hope this helps!
EDIT: I've to go now. Will check back later!
The code I game you had the wrong address. It should have been 200C00F8 not 200C00FC. Also, it would help if someone could test the codes via a cheat disc to see if there is a difference. I'm too tired to carry on for now.

Tested it with the new address, results:
The game starts in hor+ (HUD not cropped). Before the first cutscene the bold counter is
After the first cutscene (vert-):
The bold counter stays at the second value for the entire first level.
When the second planet begins (hor+), the bold counter was back to counting as usual (it showed 8946).
Interestingly, when you die the game is back to vert-; however if you enter and exit the vendor machine, it's hor+ again (I tested this several times, it's always the same). In any case, the bold counter was just counting the bolds...
