Here the two presently existing patches for Final Fantasy XII US NTSC.

The Jevahose patch works flawlessly with some fmv skip and audio stutter.
It can be fix with Codebreaker cheat.

The Brendo patch is the one from CrazyC 3pts patch.
But i dont see any improvment with this one and it freeze at loading a save game using CB cheats.

P.S. Result can be different for ya !!!

Brendo PPF Patch
Jevahose PPF Patch

Codebreakers Cheats

Master Code (Must be On)
904497A0 0C112590

(Perfect movie reply on HDL, Hold R3 while FMV playing)
(Release R3 as soon as the fmv fade)
E002FFFB 0056BADC
003B0034 00000001
003B0140 00000001
E002FFFB 1056BADC (E002FFFD 0056BADC) => If u dont want to hold R3, but press R3 once and press L3 while fmv fades out.
003B0034 00000000
003B0140 00000000

If u want to change the button to hold while fmv playing, just replace the FFFB in the first and fourth line by these following...

Bit 00 => FFFE => Select
Bit 01 => FFFD => L3
Bit 02 => FFFB => R3
Bit 03 => FFF7 => Start
Bit 04 => FFEF => Up
Bit 05 => FFDF => Right
Bit 06 => FFBF => Down
Bit 07 => FF7F => Left
Bit 08 => FEFF => L2
Bit 09 => FDFF => R2
Bit 10 => FBFF => L1
Bit 11 => F7FF => R1
Bit 12 => EFFF => Triangle
Bit 13 => DFFF => Circle
Bit 14 => BFFF => Cross
Bit 15 => 7FFF => Square

*Day 1 for Final Fantasy XII*

Here's the day 1 from codebreaker site wich gives different master code and all the "official codes".

OK, i made some test and u cannot use the DAY1 master code with the "perfect movie".

U have to create another game title and enter those CB codes Provide.

The CODE is also in RAW format and can be use with Toxic OS.

PSOne Exploit Users (ULE):
Load Codebreaker.ELF
Under Option : Auto-Eject => ON
Start the game.
Put a retail PS2 game disc
Press X
As soon as the screen goes black press eject on the PS2.
Put ur PSOne trigger game.
Wait ULE to load, select HDLoader, select the game.
Enjoy

If u have any comment, PM me. No Reply Please

Enjoy.

Yes you can use day1 just go and edit the master code instead of making a new cheat file

[slicer74]

Yeah if u wish to use the other cheat from day 1.

Like i said, u cannot use the MASTER CODE FROM DAY 1.

CrazyC 3pts patch with perl, no need for apps/tools to get this thing working it can be done in the system itself.

Now patch it( This should work on Windows, MacOS X, QNX( and other unixes as well as Linux ))

perl -pi.$$ -e 's,\x15\x00\x80\x14\x00\x00\xB0\xFF,\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\xB0\xFF,g' ffxii.iso

I'm really stupid when it comes to this but can Someone tell me or direct me to a thread on how to apply these patches to the game?

Edit: Nevermind, I ended up finding a way to apply the patches

[Andrew Joy]

I had a go with the Jevahose PPF Patch and it works fine apart from a small amount of skiping in any FMVs i used modes 1 and 3 with hd loader then i aplyed the patch with winhiip, ( you can also load it to the hdd with winhiip if you want to).

I am happy with the results now if i could only buy the pal verson, as i had to convert this one and altho its playing it just looks a bit different :P.

Realy if you use this method the skiping is not all that bad so try this first so you dont have to mess around with all the codes and button holding.

Hi. Sorry to post in what appears to be a dead thread although it is stickyied.

Right now I am using the patch to play this with HDL and its makes sound skip quite a bit in FMV.

I was wondering if there was any way to get it working perfectly or close to perfect. Right now I am using HDL 0.8b but can also use others.

I see above that someone talks about altering code but I would need that explained to me so I can understand a little better. IF there is a way to edit the ISO files for the game I can do that to as I have previous experance with Hexadecimal editing and the such.

Any help is greatly appricated. Thanks!

[slicer74]

C'mon, re-read the first post...

[bunta126]

Do these patches have to be applied to the official iso?

I have already burned this game to disc and deleted the iso I burnt it from (been playing from disc previously) now I'm using HDL I want to be able to run it from HDD. If I create an iso from the disc I burnt can I patch that or will it not work?

Easier than that, put the game in the DVD drive of the PC, connect the PS2 HDD to the PC, use winhiip to install the game directly in the HDD, use winhiip to patch the game.

[bunta126]

I tried applying the Jevahose ppf to my iso but that didn't work.

I then used a hex editor on my iso and found the strings in barf's post and edited them manually which seems to have worked fine

Does anyone know what the hex strings to search for and edit are in the Jevahose patch? Seeing as it is supposed to be better than the CrazyC patch it may work if I search for them manually. That codebreaker code in the first post didn't work for me using the CrazyC patch.

[Random21]

Rather play it on the dvd if it skips..

It stutters and lags like shit on the hdd.

[Johnny_T]

I can't believe there is no way to make it work since GT4 was also very hard to crack and took a while. but FFX 12 should be at least as popular as GT4 and ppl are already giving up on this

[TheShadowRunner]

come on guys, search a little, FFXII plays absolutely fine on HDD with jevahose's patch + cheat codes for FMVs.
Later,

[dlanor]

Today I developed a new cheat code that combines the enabling of HDL support and the manual FMV unstutter command (pressing R3) into a single code. Of course you must also have a 'Master Code' as always, but apart from that only one 5-line code is needed. That code, and the accompanying 'Master Code' is given in four different forms below. The first two forms use raw and CB format for the US version (SLUS_209.63), while the second two forms use raw and CB format for the British version (SLES_543.54). If you use CB I recommend using the CB format rather than raw format, as I have found the latter unreliable.

Note that this new code is not a brand new innovation, as it's based on the older ones, combining some features and eliminating a minor (effectless) bug. The latter is the reason why it can have the same effect with lesser code, as the old unstutter fix has some redundant code lines. Since the unstutter method is basically the same, you MUST still avoid pressing R3 outside of the FMV movies, as that might cause the game to crash.

Note also that the intention with this new code is that it should be used with completely unpatched ISOs, as it includes both the HDL support and the FMV unstutter features. Using it with a US ISO patched with the Jevahose patch should also work fine, but if used with the CrazyC patch, that patch and these cheat codes will interfere with each other, and the resulting FMV stutter will not 'obey' the unstutter button.

Here are the codes for the US FF12 version SLUS_209.63

Raw format for US FF12:
-----------------------

Master Code:
904497A0 0C112590

HDL support with R3 FMV unstutter:
003AFDC4 00000000
E001FFFB 0056BADC
003B0034 00000001
E001FFFB 1056BADC
003B0034 00000000


CB format for US FF12:
----------------------

Master Code:
9A283B3F 18F74897

HDL support with R3 FMV unstutter:
0AE74D08 00000000
EA5480B9 98CB7EE7
0A574D0D 00000001
EA5480B9 68CB7EE7
0A574D0D 00000000

Here are the codes for the UK FF12 version SLES_543.54

Raw format for UK FF12:
-----------------------

Master Code:
9044D7E0 0C1135A0

HDL support with R3 FMV unstutter:
003B129C 00000000
E001FFFB 0056FBDC
003B150C 00000001
E001FFFB 1056FBDC
003B150C 00000000


CB format for UK FF12:
----------------------

Master Code:
9A683BFF 18B7B847

HDL support with R3 FMV unstutter:
0ACF4D33 00000000
EA5480B9 98F4BFE7
0A3F4D30 00000001
EA5480B9 68F4BFE7
0A3F4D30 00000000

I have now tested all variants of the codes given above as follows:
For US FF12 I tested the pre-release leak version of US FF12 SLUS_209.63, as that is the only US version available to me.
For UK FF12 I tested the official release version of UK FF12 SLES_543.54, as that is the version I bought myself. (Swedish stores always stock UK versions.)
The Raw format codes were all tested with ToxicOS, using its cheat engine
The CB format codes were all tested with HDL 0.8b, using CodeBreaker v9.2

Edit:
I reformatted the code listings and removed some redundant text to make the whole thing a bit clearer.

WOW, great work dlanor.... I can't wait to try this.

[peekpoke]

@dlanor

First of all, thank you for your work! I'm having probs on my v7 with matrix infinity.. With these codes my unpatched iso doesn't work.. also with the patched one i've the same prob, black screen of death .. i'm sure that i've typed the codes exactly ...

I use a v7 myself, so that's not it, and while I do have a different mod-chip (DMS4pro), I don't see why that should interfere either.

With these codes my unpatched iso doesn't work..

What ISO ? Please specify the proper ID code, so I at least know what region your game belongs to...

Also, how did you make/acquire that ISO, and have you tested that ISO by any other means ? (eg: CD-R)

also with the patched one i've the same prob,

Again I have to ask: What ISO ?
Patched how ?

black screen of death .. i'm sure that i've typed the codes exactly ...

What codes ?
I gave 4 different code sets, and you can only use one of them, so which one was that ?


Sorry, but I can't give you any effective help due to the total lack of detail in your report. Please supply the additional details needed, and I'll try to check it out.
