Hey guys, is it possible that you can implement the patch for the German version so that the patch is no longer deactivated for Hardcore Mode Retroachievements?

Here are the codes for the German version:

I have always played with the codes with the German version and have not experienced any problems.

Is it possible to fix this?

Description:

For "Spyro: A Hero's Tail" SLUS-20884_94C56923.pnach and SLES-52569_6E51213C.pnach, the widescreen patches have a broken patch line that will not be loaded due to using patch=3 which is not a valid option as per Patch.cpp.

The behavior is simply that the line gets ignored as if it doesn't exist.
Since the 3 patch lines use this field as a "patch number", they put each line as 1,2,3, so all 3 lines need to be updated to 0, 1, or 2 depending on what is most appropriate for this patch.

//Widescreen + Extra Perspective
patch=1,EE,003B28C8,extended,3C013F10
patch=2,EE,003B28DC,extended,3C013F10
patch=3,EE,003B2F08,extended,3C013EC0

As I don't have this game, I can't test the impact of the change so am reporting instead of submitting a PR to fix it.

I'm talking of the 4 digit value instead of the usual 8 digit

As said in the title, both games crash on the 3rd level when using widescreen patch.
Camera goes silly and go up and u can see all level from the top...and the game hang.

X-Men 2 - Wolverine's Revenge (E) (SLES-51286)
X2 - Wolverine's Revenge (U) (SLUS_203.37)

SLES-50677_7DE3F9E8 has the wrong serialcode (probably).
The serial is SLES-50822, and the regionalcode is PAL-M3.

DEFA4763 has the serialcode SLES-50677, and the regionalcode PAL-E.

Essentially, whenever you scope in with the sniper and switch to a different weapon, the FOV is reverted to the built in 16:9 and stays reverted until death.

Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne (Japan)
SLPM-65242 9F724384

I Need A Widescreen Patch For SLPM-65183.

After loading the game with widescreen patches enabled (PCSX2 Nightly - v1.7.3532), the game displays that patches are loaded but the aspect ratio is not right. See screenshots for an example.

Wrongly displayed with widescreen enabled and loaded.

Correct look.

Although the message that "3 widescreen patches are active" appears in the top-left corner when booting the game, the WS patch doesn't seem to be doing its job during the actual gameplay.

The game maintains a stretched appearance when running in 16:9. I tried switching back to 4:3 to ensure that it's not my eyes deceiving me, and 16:9 definitely doesn't look correct.

This is what I'm seeing:

Essentially the title. Enabling the WS patch (and no-interlacing patches, for that matter) in this game causes the image to shift to the right of the screen for some reason.

I have tried running the game in the regular 4:3 format with the patches disabled, and it works as intended. In 16:9 with the patches enabled, however, that's a different story. It happens everywhere, both in the menus and during gameplay - and during gameplay it makes it impossible to see what's on the right edge of the screen, as it goes beyond the border.

For SLUS-251419 at least, there seems to be problems with the clip plain in the WS patch, which causes a black void to appear in the middle of the screen in the distance. (Also the UI isn't scaled correctly, it's all around a bad patch)

We will disable the patch or now until somebody can fix it.

After updating my archive with the last commit made here. I realized I never checked if YOU dont have cheats that I have. so thats what this issue is about.

I crossed references with my archive.

Found 72 Game IDs wich cant seem to be found here

Notes:

1. these cheats are PS2RD cheats, so to convert them into what PCSX2 Expects you just have to convert like this:
   ######## @@@@@@@@ -> patch=1,EE,########,extended,@@@@@@@@
2. The Mastercode and any cheat with adress field starting with 9 can be ignored by you, since that's only useful on real hardware

SLES-51584 & SLUS-20693 appears to have the same CRC - 2C1173B0.
2C1173B0 -> "SLES-51584_2C1173B0" & "SLUS-20693_2C1173B0"

Most easily reproducible when going into dual mode, but can also be triggered in dragon universe mode or possibly other ways. Basically the widescreen hack works fine initially but when you lose a battle and hit continue or battle again the widescreen patch disengages and everything becomes stretched. Characters look like Big Chungus Going back to the main menu or character select screen re activates the patch.

After losing a battle and selecting battle again.

See the similarities

I've done some experimenting with Silent's deinterlacing patch which was removed here: 1873233

The last line which says "speed timer" slows down the race clock, but doesn't slow down the actual game/race. So effectively you'll be driving 20% faster and lap times will be 17% lower. This is immediately obvious when doing a license test (immediate gold by huge margin). Leaving out that line "fixes" the clock problem. But the game will still be running too quick. I got it to run "properly" (though unfortunately at 50fps) by simply setting the FPS limit at 83.3%. Combined with another deinterlacing patch by Silent, I've now got this:

// No interlacing
patch=1,EE,204A2A2C,extended,0000102D

// 480p mode in race
patch=1,EE,2035812C,extended,2442003C // (60 fps?)
patch=1,EE,20A57E70,extended,00000001

I should mention that this looks great compared to playing without patches, so even though the 60FPS benefit is lost with my trick, it still looks and functions good.

I had the idea to change the number 3C to 32, but that just causes the exact same problem with the clock. So I'm guessing the PAL build simply doesn't support 60FPS (due to tick rate, perhaps?). Unless nobody has found it up until now...

PCSX2 Version: 1.7.4595

16:9 Widescreen patch for Ratchet & Clank: Up Your Arsenal isn't working for multiplayer. The patch works perfectly fine for Singleplayer however, but when the multiplayer screen is hit, there is a "No patches are found/enabled" notification. The thing is that the patch was working perfectly fine in multiplayer in the earlier builds up until last week.

In the repository there are 3 .pnach that, according to my research, the game with the code SLES-55571 does not exist. If I'm right it can be deleted

Notice the water splashes in the waterfall on the back and the light bloom effect on the floating yellow key above some of the characters. i feel like their position are relative to where the camera is currently looking at. Tested by disabling the WS patch and it fixes the issue.

Here is the video preview:

Here #340 it is indicated that it is a matter of the patch. But if you start a new game without a memory card or start a new game without saving, this error does not occur. It only happens with the game we have saved (this also happens in my game), and it also seems to be something random since it doesn't always happen. Maybe at some point the save game got corrupted. I have seen it on other occasions.
The same thing happens in Jak 3, when selecting the progressive from the menu, the letters become like in Jak 2.

With this solution we will not have problems because it is not necessary to change the progressive mode in the menu. At first it starts in ntsc mode and when you press start in the main menu it will change to 480p, and you can also select 50 hz to have a resolution of 640x512

I tried many things and looking for many different patches online, it's always this one, and it doesn't seem to work for me on this version of the game. The screen is wide but the game isn't adapted to work with it properly.
I'm gonna try v1.40 to see if it works any better

I have completed Captain Templar's campaign from start to finish, as well as several skipped missions for the other characters without any errors. The only "glitch" I found is in Templar's first mission where a couple of planes that fly overhead remain static in the air (it seems that they only fly over the area and cross it, they don't interact with us), in the rest of the missions the ships that fly over and attack us run without any problem.

There are only patches for SCES-50294, but not any other version of the game.

Using the 50fps patch makes it impossible to pass the language selection screen as no controller inputs are recognized. This is the first screen that appears after booting making it impossible to proceed into the game.

The inputs work fine with the patch disabled.

When using widescreen patch builded in emulator or ultrawide patch i find in internet. Textures dont load or something very wrong happened with them. Also WS patch reduce trees drawing :( I check different API, different resolution with native, different setting and nothing but turning off mipmapping can resolve that. I
Original:
With build in emulator widescreen patch:

Also turning off texture filtering fix trees:

Make them less accurate but crisper
And turning off mipmapping fix tires and further textures:

I would argue that that sacrifice is worth it.

The 16:9 widescreen hack loads fine, and in the menu it looks correct, but ingame, the aspect ratio is incorrect and somewhat squished.

What the game and models are supposed to look like (minus the black bars of course)

On current builds of PCSX2 that use the new patches system, the Ratchet 1 widescreen patch does not work because the pnach in the resources zip, every single line is commented out. This was not an issue on cheats_ws builds.

This crash will always happen on the map, Conquest of Nan Zhong for the Shu side. It happens when you take the base next to the poison swamp in the middle of the map, as a cutscene plays. This is unavoidable as that cutscene will play if that specific base falls due to someone else from Shu taking it. I was able to get around this crash by turning off the widescreen patch.

To play this map, you have to use the disc swapping feature to load the original data and then it can be selected in Free Mode or be encountered in a Shu character's Musou mode (Zhuge Liang, Huang Zhong, ect).

This might affect Dynasty Warriors 5 as well, but haven't checked as I don't have the stage unlocked.
