Final fantasy XII

[rainrix]

I wonder you guys do to play this game in japanese...

[l_oliveira]

PPFs are for the japanese version.
Plays fine with patches applied and UDMA mode (44.4 MB/s, the original HDL settings)
And about playing the game in japanese .... Gamefaqs ... Gamefaqs ...



Edit: Played fine with UDMA 133 also ... So it seems to have issues only with slow HDD access with this patch.

Wow I'm impressed now ...

Can you post names of files that are being changed with this patch? Only ELF or it there something more?

[crazyc]

The offsets being patched are

FF12HDL1.PPF
0x3b5ad4 - 00 00 00 00
0x3bc038 - 00 00 00 00

FF12HDL2[old].PPF
0x3b5ad4 - 00 00 00 00
0x3b5b00 - 00 00 00 00

Could anyone post the original values and the 16 bytes around them?

Nice find jbl1234. This is for the Japanese version, right?

Which patch did you apply? FF12HDL1.ppf? FF12HDL2[old].ppf? Or both?

yes,the patch for Japanese version,i only apply patch with "FF12HDL2[old].ppf" that work fine,i don't know what different between FF12HDL1.ppf and FF12HDL2[old].ppf,someone says "FF12HDL1.ppf" work fine too.

sorry for my poor english!

original values (if I searched them correctly):

at offset 0x3b5ad4 (values going to be changed in bold)
10 00 B1 FF 15 00 80 14 00 00 B0 FF

at offset 0x3bc038
24 10 43 00 04 00 40 54 52 00 02 3C

at offset 0x3b5b00
50 00 10 3C 06 02 12 0C A0 0F 04 24

I've really impressed. Videos play smoothly with 0.7c (w/ fileops patch) and no speed patches applied.

Hi ^^

I tried the FF12HDL1.ppf and it worked fine for me. I'm using FreeHdloader 3.5.3, no mode activated and I could watch the full Intro menu video, and the the full game intro video without any bug.

Thank you jbl1234, you saved my life ^^ My PS2 just stopped to play DVD copy when I got my second summon ^^

Offset 0x3b5ad4 makes all reads synchronous, but in a different way then before. Offsets 0x3bc038 and 0x3b5b00 are two different ways of removing the 4 msec delay within the busy wait in CdSync.

The offsets in the US demo for SLUS_291.71 are, in the same order as above (untested):

0x2aa310
0x2b0878
0x2aa348

[rainrix]

Do you thnik you can turn this patches into a Hdloader modification?
