other game regions need to be ported but it will take time let me know; also this "old codes" in post are not necessary anymore.

*UPDATE MAY 6 2021: Corrected codes, add new features, change quick hud combo button more easy access, add european version
Devil may cry (Japan) SLPM_650.38;1) Game CRC = 0x96B2F56D
Devil May Cry (USA) SLUS_202.16;1) Game CRC = 0x79B8A95F

+ No HUD Mod clean gameplay image (bypass blurry upperscreen)
* Quick show hud (Right Analog Up + R1) or (Right Analog Up in battles)
* Bosses Hud show keep pressing (Right Analog down) untill boss bar fill
+ No interleacing
+ USA / EUROPE version Controller changed layout to "JAPAN / HD" ports version (old lilypad config not necessary)
+ Cinematic cutscenes black bar turn off
+ new value widescreen code (enable in PCSX2 FMV Aspect Ratio Override to "4:3" for correct videos aspect)

!! in HW mode enable: PCSX2 > Config > Video (GS) > Plugin settings > "Enable HW HAcks" > Advanced Settings > "half-pixel offset" = (Normal Vertex) for more clearer image.
or fine tune "Texture Offsets" according upscaling resolution example: 3x native 1080p = x:100 y:200 !!
!! in HW mode some effects missing (PCSX2 bug) (example: orbs circle signs or intro cutscene trish ligthing hand)
workaround: press start in gameplay for effects reappear or change to SW with F9 then back to HW, in cutscenes press F9 before cut start then back to HW !!
- Europe version NTSC 60hz code works ok gameplay speed match other editions, but some videos and cutscenes has crash-audio dsync, require audio sync code/hack (code not available untill find better solution)
- subtitle captions are blurry because low resolution fonts - textures

recomended version PCSX2 1.7 dev builds look here ;For disable codes put a "//" tag starting line each code block. some gameplay test : Here

Devil May Cry 3 - Dante's Awakening (Special Edition) (Japan) SLPM_661.60;1) Game CRC = 0x79C952B0

!! for correct videos aspect ratio enable in PCSX2 config "FMV Aspect Ratio Override" to 4:3 !!
!! Europe version choose NTSC 60hz option or game will speed up !!
+Tweak Game effects (image more clearer withow lossing important effects)
*(remove partial gameplay blur and other related effects, but preserve bloom, depth field, custom blur, door transitions and other effects in special cutscenes/scenarios)
+Hack main menu slow, noise texture and some scenarios slowness
*(looks like "unknow register", function, effect, was bottlenecking gs, removed and no visual/gameplay changes was observed)
+New No interleacing (bypass function call)
+Progressive mode 224p (is a field renderer game)
+another widescreen code + 2d art correct aspect ratio (text still is streched missinng code/address)
-main characters have black line accross face (PCSX2 scaling Bug)
[s]-JAPAN and Europe version only share addresses for "no interleacing values codeblock" maybe this "codeblock" works for
USA version too, but other codeblocks need to be ported. ported* UPDATED May 18 2021.

Game tested to 4 level with no crash or problems (still no fully tested); about removing all post-effects
it will make game pale (almost like pc/other ports), game pass differents effects values per each cut-scene/scenario,
camera position, etc configured by original programmers, so i guessing why other ports are missing/wrong/guessing a lot of this effects,
(check this video comparasion) PS2 vs HD ports DMC3 HERE
still i hope a remake by Hideaki Itsuno and team for make good port to new consoles/pc,
but if you want to test no effects look in PCSX forums "cheats thread" a code available there; apart, i still looking for info
to port "style switcher mod" but no info are available "the old PCSX2 code from sepertiem is missing from web".

Could you do one pnach for Devil May Cry 3 Vanilla USA (the non Special Edition) just like you did for SE, with progressive renderer, 4:3 menus and HUD, etc.

And also, I found the code for PCSX2 StyleSwitcher in case you still want it.

since we're talking about dmc
Requesting again:

Devil may cry 3 trial version
SLPM-60251
CRC: 6DF67D50

the demo has some neat stuff
@Vergil Kills could you share the style switcher code?

Hello everyone,
i retaking slowly a lot of codes left unfinished couple months ago, now using new format for .pnach files,.

Burnout 3 - Takedown (Europe, Australia) (En,Es,Nl,Sv) SLES_525.84;1) Game CRC = 0x75BECC18
Burnout Revenge (Europe) (Fn,Du,Es,It,Sw) SLES_535.06;1) Game CRC = 0x2CAC3DBC
Burnout Dominator (Europe) (En,Fr,De,Es,It) SLES_546.27;1) Game CRC = 0x8C9576B4

+Re-enable disabled and autoboot in progressive scan mode
+Disable PAL mode selectors (DesPalettized)
+Extend resolution 640x448 > 640x480 (480p)

*this series not need for interlaced codes, USA version runs 60hz in "full frame mode"and have progressive scan modes with combo button, but PAL versions this was disabled in code, so reenabling disabled functions and erase\ bypass PAL selector, extend resolution to 640x480

@Vergil Kills \ Vermilli0n_Fury : i going take a look....

Devil May Cry 3 - Dante's Awakening (USA) (En,Ja,Ko) Game CRC = 0x0BED0AF9
Devil May Cry 3 - Trial Version (Japan) (En,Ja) (Taikenban) Game CRC = 0x6DF67D50

+ported Europe codes to USA version (disabling some post-effects)
+disable interlacing by calling ntsc-progressive.
+alternate widescreen codes for gameplay

This game series are "field rendered type game 512x256"; demo version has another function for posteffects in unknow area, i will take time to find it.

quick update 2023, this codes need to be updated, for special edition series codes already updated check PS2 Improvements code, patch list

@ Vergil Kills " I found the code for PCSX2 StyleSwitcher in case you still want it. ", yes, it wold be nice to have best version in PCSX2with styleswitcher mode instead use regular ports released till now.

thank you bro! game looks great!

hi, it seems there is a difference in the way the codes work depending on the games, i think it's related to the different types of interlacing but i'm still wondering:
for some games the pcsx2 window displays that the game is in progressive after applying the codes, but for other games the pcsx2 window displays that they are still interlaced after applying the codes, I tested with Shadow of Rome and the only effect that the codes seems to have is to remove the shaking but does not change the image quality (or too slightly) and the resolution of the screenshots does not change either (512x224 for Shadow of Rome) while that games for which the pcsx2 window displays that the game is in progressive after applying the codes have significantly better image quality, does that mean that some games can't really be non-interlaced but only have bob deinterlacing without shaking at most, or am I just misunderstanding?

Is there a GTA San Andreas no interlace code for PAL SLES-52541 version?

I made the port that Mensa published on page 7 but with the new versions of pcsx2 I haven't noticed anything. Is this:

[No-Interlacing]
gsinterlacemode=1
patch=1,EE,005498FC,word,00000000

CRC A1B3F232

Onimusha Blade Warriors NTSC (SLUS-20710)

Energy Airforce PAL and NTSC-J, the one I uploaded the other day broke FMVs and had silly requirements, these new ones don't seem to break anything and just work.
