Dreamcast Widescreen Hacks

how many version of virtua tennis exist? i had an old backup that have different widescreen codes than pal and ntsc-u, and is also multilanguage.

i updated my previous message. http://assemblergames.com/l/threads/widescreen-hacks.58620/page-38#post-930150

Could Dave Mirra Freestyle BMX and Capcom vs SNK (both NTSC-U) receive a widecreen patch?

 

i tested a little capcom vs snk 1 jap and you see limit of the stage if you go to one corner, shadows and other elements are moved, ... maybe with time and knowledge can be improved and control the characters limits to try to hide this a little. It needs more research.

the game and stages weren´t designed to have widescreen... street fighter 3 2nd impact had native 16/9 support on arcade version that controls the camera and the limits:



edit: i wanted to fix dead or alive 2 le hud, i found a code, but it will be interesting to put it in the center of the screen... not in the left.

 

HALF LIFE, UNRELEASED, A799F10, V1.004

Code:

02C3D6BC
00363031
02D204A8
00000356
02D32FC8
00000280
02C7CF84
00000280
02D20548
00000280

There is one minor downside to this hack, the loading screen is not centered.

 

Dreams really do come true! I can't believe you finally did it! What worked this time vs the last time you tried and failed to make it work?

Damn this is so awesome, you are the best!

 

That might work for a bunch of other WCE titles because I'm pretty sure the screen dimension rendering is done within the WCE kernel and not the game itself, but it's probably different in many cases

 

if the game plays correct the loading screen is small issue

 

Does the HUD look ok? Unfortunately the screenshots stop before grabbing the HEV suit.

What's the fastest way of entering codes onto the Dreamcast?
I usually enter them manually in codebreaker, is there a easier to doing this and if so what is it?
Thanks in advance.

 

Me too, I don't find the way to enter the codes with dreamshell... Could you help me please.

 

By the way, it seems that the Half life Widescreen hack works with other homebrew-games done with the same engine.

Paranoia looks incredible.

 

Omg! I suspected there would only need to be 1 code to rule them all if widescreen ever was done for the main game. Just all the more incredible seeing as how Paranoia pushes the DC to it's limits. Wow, such a beautiful mod. Nice discovery.

 

i have a custom half-life image is an image made from @TerdFerguson and further optimized by me. also this one its more updated from a previously upload. fully playable, and much better than any other release so far. but the wide screen patches not work for this one can you see it please

I tested it and the same hack works with this version.

I enter the codes manually too. I don't know if there is a faster way to do so.

 

You might be able to edit the cheat disc and manually add your own codes? I mean lets face it, nothing is faster than typing them out on a keyboard, and I doubt any of the cheat discs support the official keyboard, although I would hope they do. I just always assumed they didn't.

I just wish it were possible to edit the executable of the games like you can on other systems. Xbox even has a tool that can force 16:9 aspect ratio.

 

You can do that if the address corresponds to one within the executable, like panzer dragoon anti-AR check fix on Saturn.

However, if the value that has to be fixed is computed from other values, or even other values that can be used for other stuff, then it becomes hard to trace back what to change in the executable and even then it might not only affect the aspect ratio.

It might be possible to incorporate some kind of single code AR routine in the ip.bin though, although that's way beyond most people skills, me included.
