I am looking for GTA Vice City NTSC-U code to disable the post-processing filter (double vision blurry filter). I couldn't find any code via search neither google. Thanks for the help

Is there a widescreen code for
Dragon Ball Z: Sparking! Neo NTSC J
SLPS-25690

Looking in the archive I did not see one.

Looking in the archive I did not see one.

I found a pnach code on youtube by SolidSnake11.
Adding it here for the next archive update w/ the CRC #.
Tested it on ps2 hardware and works in all modes except character gallery mode.

Link in case anyone is interested to see the video.

Adding another CRC # update for:

Dragon Ball Z: Budokai 2 NTSC-U
SLUS-20779

CRC in current archive does not work with ps2rd to run the original disc in widescreen:
2FF8E31F

Correct CRC for ps2 hardware that has been tested and works:
1FB1F8E2

Thanks for demilich for providing me the .elf! Couldn't have done it without them.

Remember to turn on widescreen in the in-game menu.

I am looking for widescreen code for GTA3 NTSC-U and Vice City NTSC-U 3.0 that actually applies widescreen. Couldn't find any.
I tried the code above using pnach patcher and ps2 hardware and thats excatly what happens here: Vertical stretch and zoom. Same goes for this code(from the archive)

Screenshots:

top and bottom cut off

Weird, GTA3 WS patch working just fine here
And I used the exact codes above

Taken from real hardware



Mind you, I'm using OPL w/ inbuilt cheats feature.

Can't speak for VCv3 because I don't have it, but it should work fine as well since only the memory address got shifted.

EDIT: Oh wait, I think I understand what's going on.
Those stretched 4:3 screenshot you posted wasn't how it originally looked, zoom wise.
What these codes do is basically increase the FOV (Field of view) for the widescreen mode, the problem was it will increase the FOV for the 4:3 mode too (hence the zoomed out look, also notice how the Claude/Tommy looks bit compressed).
So, those "cut-off" you saw with widescreen mode on enabled was how the default FOV in 4:3 mode should look like.

Also, these codes were meant to be used with widescreen mode enabled in the game's pause menu anyway.

And for this:

There's an option for this already in the game you know , it's called "Trails". Set it to "Off" to disable the effect.
Unless you're talking about VCS, which AFAIK has no option to remove it.

Ok now understand. Thanks for clarification.
...oh and also thanks for pointing out the trails settings I completely forgot about it.

@Shenmue_Trilogy

Those codes should work. I've tested them myself on original hardware. Also, it may depend on your ps2 console. I've had several games not work on slim models, only on phat models.
Not sure what ps2 model you have.
A second option if you are not sure what the CRC of your GTA Vice City game is, then you can check with PCSX2 by loading the ps2 disc directly.

The only weird thing with GTA 3 widescreen pnach is the aiming with certain weapons make the camera go crazy.
I've also tested the NTSC J region version recently and has the same issue unfortunately.

Yeah I was confused about the zoom level in 4:3 screen ratio. I should have checked 4:3 without patch when comparing to widescreen and patch applied. The codes are working now thx

Can anyone help updating the pnach widescreen code for

Dragon Ball Z Sparking! Meteor (J)(SLPS 25815) NTSC J

It looks like the only mode that doesn't work in widescreen is the story mode unfortunately.
