PS2 Widescreen Hack (Hex ISO Codes Only)

[synce]

Damn, WA5 patch isn't working for me. I'm not sure if it's the version difference or pcsx2. Of all my games it's the only one that can't quick boot from the elf (even untouched elf). It always goes to browser first then I need to click the disc

When I apply the patch I get the same graphic glitch I was getting when I changed other values



I'd like to hear from others

EDIT: Edited the ISO directly and now I get widescreen but the glitch is still present unless I switch to software mode. If anyone manages to run in it hardware mode, or better yet without rebuilding the ISO, let me know



EDIT 2: Same thing with WA4. Very odd

Looks like you have the Marker near the camera's POV.

I'll test a copy.

Thanks, that's on pcsx2 right? And what's up with the last shot?

Maybe the JP ver has some kind of anti-mod measures, or the code is very different. I'll mess around with it a bit more today

UPDATE: Figured it out. Definitely a pcsx2 problem, not region difference.

That's my real PS2 running on my TV.
The last shot is the Random Battle transition.

Beautiful!

Edit: Can you get a closeup of him facing the camera? It help if you back the camera into a wall.

Thanks for reminding me nemesis. Edited the gsdx real quick and it works great now, but only if I load the rebuilt ISO. For some reason pcsx2 refuses to launch WA4 and 5 and from the ELF. (unrelated to the patch)

I get this error: (R5900) Re-executed ELF Entry point (ignored) [addr=0x00100008]

Will contact pcsx2 team about it

Great job on the patches btw

@synce
Are your Xenosaga patches just for Japanese region?

HG's code also works for Castlevania: Curse of Darkness

Yes, but I'm sure someone can port it easily. The new patches have been uploaded here: PCSX2 - Widescreen Game Patches

Speaking of porting, the WA4 elf hack was a total bitch. Had to search by 4 bytes because so much was different between US/JP
