    Napple Tale: Arsia in Daydream (NTSC-J)

    Code:
    02353744---43F00000
    02353774---3F400000
    02353778---3F800000
    The game has wrong 4x3 aspect ratio, so it resulted in a weird 16x9, this codes fix it.

    Original 4x3
    Fixed 4x3
    16x9

    60 fps, I haven't tested it in deep, I think it runs a 2x speed, I post it anyways since, maybe/hopefully someday they will be usefull.

    No luck so far.


    Silent Scope v1.000 (2000)(Konami)(PAL)(M5)
    Code:
    02D1FB14---3F400000
    02096A4C---3FAAAAAB
    "Pal" fellows set your game to 60hz in the game options otherwise it won't work.

    This one was super tricky, it has a ton of addresses controling a lot of camera variables, the hud, sky and sightglass are controlled by different addreses than the main 3d world, I got dizzy. X(

    60 fps (useless but here it is)
    Code:
    02D20B44---00000000
    02D20B48---00000000

    Does anyone know what is the master code for Phantasy Star Online Ver 2 (ntscU) to use with AR or CB? It seems the game has some kind of anty cheat protection? I need to test some things on real hardware but the codes don't work.

    A codebreaker was originally required to connect before a patch disc was made. So I know you can use one. Maybe this will help. I think the 'enable code' is what you're looking for
    http://sylverant.net/connecting-to-sylverant/#psov2us

    If you get it to work contact bluecrab and maybe he can make another version of the patch disc with 16:9 and 4:3 options

    Sorry for asking here but I am looking for PS1 widescreen codes (wiki). I found a thread on the pcsx2 forums but it looks like the codes works only with pcsx? anyway if you have any ps1 widescreen codes or a wiki for me would be great :)

    Thanks, that enable code worked.

    Is it possible to merge these into a single ISO modifier/etc? What is the boot process like for the Dreamcast, is it possible to create a loader which will load the main binary from a disc and patch it before executing it?

    It requires a cheating engine that works with raw codes and always a mastercode for each game (encrypted codes may not work). I've stopped using a real PS1 or PS1 on PS2 so I can't help you with that but I'm sure it works, I tried a couple with gameshark and it was ok.

    This has been asked probably 5 times already in this thread. Yes, it's possible. No, nobody has done it yet.

    It's on my want-to-do list, along with a ton of other things. (Yakuza 5 and Xenoblade X just recently came out, both are really great games that are eating into my free time.) If someone else doesn't get to it first, I would love to do it. No idea when that will happen though.

    Rayman 2 - The Great Escape v1.002 (2000)(Ubi Soft)(PAL)(M5)
    Code:
    020C52E0---3FAAAAAB
    HUD SIZE
    Code:
    020C52E4
    The game does actually have an 16:9 option but it stretches the image a bit.

    Ultimately this is usefull for those with ultra wide Tv/ Monitors.

    That artstyle is timeless O_O

    Same as Rayman.

    Esppiral, hopefully you could make these images of PSO in widescreen? They auto-connect to sylverant as well as other features and are the best PSO versions available. Many thanks in advance!

    Download torrent here.

    I wonder how he fixed fsod in v2?
    (BTW, the version that connects directly to Dreamcast-talk had the binaries completely unencrypted, I hope they didn't spend too much time trying to reverse the encryption.)

    Good idea. But if he does find a code, I'd say ask Aleron Ives to make another edition of the disc. Because to patch the binary it'd likely require ripping the cdi, and repacking it. Repacking it might dither the fast loading techniques he used for that release

    Can someone spot the difference?

    I mean except for the framerate counter bad audio sync and some emulator glitches x-D
