PS2 Widescreen Hack (Hex ISO Codes Only)

[jbjoselisto]

there are multiple of 16:9, I believe.

Mortal Kombat Armageddon has unusual resolution 832x448, that helped me to find right hex code

and i noticed that hex code always looks like

yyyyxx24

where yyyy resolution

c002 - 832
8002 - 640
4002 - 576
0002 - 512
e001 - 480
c001 - 448
a001 - 416

and x can vary between 01-10

but as before, maybe xx are 02 in ntsc and 03 in pal?

Nope, I was testing this and xx was 04 for Kingdom Hearts NTSC-U. I can't find the exact value because that would take ages, but instead of that I just replaced all 00020424 to 80020424 (one of them is the resolution hack, but there are too many to look through and find the exact one). It ended up with diagonal like graphics, I can't really explain it. I'm still testing.

[mrjared123]

Ok, I believe that the Kingdom Hearts resolution width is a 00020424 hex value and the height is a af010424 hex value (I'm not really sure about the height, I really f'd up my .iso so I'm going to have to make another one and start fresh to see but I'm positive about the width). I'm going to try to pinpoint the exact value and get back to you. Do you have this game?

EDIT: I found the width value for sure now:

00020424 BF010524 243F0408 1000BD27

Still need to find the height. Changing the width really f'd it up and it is unplayable and looks very weird. Maybe changing the width and height to match makes it not glitch up? Anyways, gonna eat now and I'll be back to find that darn height value...

[jbjoselisto]

there are so many possibilities to test

[mrjared123]

It turns out that the value for height isn't the af010424 that I said earlier, but I knew I had found it when the native resolution height changed. There must be an easier way to do this...

EDIT: Alright, screw Kingdom Hearts. NEMESIS IF YOU SEE THIS, WHAT IS THE yyyy FOR 447? Is it the same as 448? Or is it af01 or something?

EDIT 2: Star Wars Battlefront width:

00020624 7000103C 00000524 443F013C

Can't find the stupid height cause I don't know the stupid 447 stupid hex stupid.

You can use this to convert hex and such Binary/Decimal/Hexadecimal Converter

I found res values in a few games back when I was trying to get them WS patched and changing the values always broke the graphics, regardless of aspect ratio. Prepare for lots of frustration if you're attempting this

[mrjared123]

I'm already pissed off lol

Star Wars Battlefront looks fine, the actual 4:3 screen is pushed over to the left and once it ends, it starts to show the left part of the screen again. So like it shows the 4:3 screen perfectly, it just shows about 1/4 of it again on the right side. Maybe if I change the height, then it can be normal again but I don't know the hex for the 447 pixel height...

I'm trying Kingdom Hearts II -Final Mix- now, probably the only game I want to have a resolution hack for... Luckily it has 448 instead of 447.

[mrjared123]

I tried to find the Kingdom Hearts II -Final Mix- width, I am almost sure that it is in 00020524 OR 00020824 (?). Nothing changes in the other values (besides one just mutes the sound), and with these values the game doesn't even boot up. So there must be a hex that causes it to lock up, but the resolution hack is the same value.

Does anyone else have this game? We can both try to get it.

[nemesis2000]

Is it the same as 448?

yes

[mrjared123]

yes

Thanks for the reply nemesis, I wasn't sure if it was a different. I'm going to try Battlefront first and then maybe Kingdom Hearts.
