PS2 Widescreen Hack (Hex ISO Codes Only)

[Aroenai]

Aroenai You will need a resolution hack like the ones I am experimenting with, but unfortunately I do not have that game. You can try finding it yourself, I posted a few pages back about nemesis explaining it. Also, the resolution is probably 512x448 so you need to change 512 to 640 to make it full screen progressive.

Found the address in the elf file for changing resolution (0x245590) but there must be another part to it. My guess is the post processing is hard coded for 512x448 (though that should be fixable by finding the address and changing it?) and there must be some video timing thing because it shifts parts of the screen around. Pcsx2 confirms the resolution changed though.

I will see what I can do

Thanks! There's also an alignment issue whenever Issun uses his brush to demonstrate something and when you draw stars for constellations. Both issues can be seen right at the beginning of the game (Issun draws the bridge when you approach; stars appear to the left of where you actually draw them), unless you need a save to skip the intro? Will take a picture tomorrow.


Off topic: Why does the forum think my post has a link if I'm quoting someone who used the (at) symbol?!

How did you get 0x245590? I thought the resolution addresses were yyyyxx24? So the resolution changed for sure? You just changed the x for resolution? Since the screen shifted around (like glitches in resolution hacks i.e. Silent Hill Shattered Memories flashlight), maybe values like these can help them?

nemesis2000 I've been using your ELF hacks to play PS2 games on my 60gb BC PS3. I know that synce has created CB hacks for the Xenosaga games but there is currently no way to use the CB codes for these games on a BC PS3.

If you find some free time to tinker with the Xenosaga games I would be forever grateful!! (Thanks again for Half-Life btw!)

drawing table not showed in hardware mode in pcsx2, so i fixed drawing without drawing table

and looks like drawing works fine with new patch without drawing fix

What are you talking about? SLUS_211.15 shows 00 02 04 24 at file offset 0x245590. Anyway it doesn't help with Okami since it seems like there are other parts of it that are hard coded for 512x448.

Edit: Okami still has an issue


The screen shrinks and is drawn three times when you use the brush. (it's hard to see the third brush shadow, but it's there when you're moving it around)
