Dreamcast Widescreen Hacks

I've notice it too, Shenmue 2 gives me random reboots on a real Dreamcast, while works flawless on emulators.

I've been playing around 2h Shenmue 1 with the image patched for 16:9 and works flawless on real hardware but shenmue 2 keeps rebooting the console at random.

Someone already did it.

sorry offtopic, but has no clipping? i will try, i had the simple version on 360. pfff.. i must download a hex edit... xD well maybe i also should test shen1... xDD

you should share xdelta patches, more easy to patch hehe

thanks.

ps: ooh shenmue 2 xbox patches are from us version.

 

Can you please help me out guys. Which codes should I use for codebreaker to play in 16:9 and renderfix? -> http://assemblergames.com/l/threads/widescreen-hacks.58620/page-41#post-932526

these are not codebreaker codes. they are hex codes, which means you have to extract a gdi image load your 1st_read.bin to a hexeditor and and go to the replace feature find the given codes and add the ones that are for replace all gdis share the same 1stbin

 

Jep, but it would be great if someone can transfer these codes in codebreaker codes?!

 

@Shenmue_Trilogy the codebreaker shenmue 1 clipping fix works fine

 

i dont know how to convert them. shenmue 1 its ok with the @Esppiral codes so my opinion better make a permant patch. without the need of the codebreaker. i can give you if you want an already patched 1st_read.bin and instructions how to extract and create a gdi if you want. shenmue 2 have problems at the time

 

What code are you refering to?

 

You can't. They don't work on cheat devices for some reason. This SHOULD be the Shenmue 2 EU code, but it doesn't actually do anything: (Includes my notes above the code, in case someone wants to check my work)

It might just be me, but it seems like the game takes slightly longer to load when the code is active. Perhaps it's detecting the change and reloading automatically? I'm not sure. Will investigate further later in the week. There shouldn't be any reason why these won't work from a cheat disc.

 

im also getting the feeling that the game is taking a little more to load im using a hex edited 1st.bin but i thing the result its the same but shenmue2 widescreen codes will make the dc reboot so better not use these codes for now. maybe in the future @Esppiral patch the games with other codes that will make no reboots. although maybe the game became too hard for dc to handle it as widescreen. so in the end maybe shenmue 2 and widescreen is only possible for emulators to handle. i really hope the latter is not true

better than nothing, but yes waiting for a loading cd, that also use this patches on original games.

Does this widescreen code fix the hud, or is it stretched?

 

@Aleron Ives Can you contact Bluecrab and ask him to add that patch option?
