By the way, virtua striker 3 with hacks has kept me up two nights in a row =)

I've only found a zoom modifier for the arcade/naomi version of the game, but I do have a widescreen Hack for the Dreamcast version which is basically the same, so if you want it I can share it.

Oh, And I have no ideaof how to patch the binaries directly, maybe someone with better knowledge can help in that field.

cheers.

Edit.

Virtua Athlete 2K v1.003 (2000)(Sega)(PAL)(M4) Widescreen+ black bars removal.

Code:

Absolutely beautiful, thanks man!
The mayor differences of the two versions are the additional 1500m event and 4-player compatibility on the DC (which makes it superior).
I've been looking into making trainers/scripts that auto patch the addresses when started.
The next step would be something more of a general approach where the script can take an address value pair an patch it to demul (if it a rom has been booted).
This would make a nice addition to any emulation front-end!

Again thanks!

This is amazing! Fantastic work, I'm definitely gonna use this when playing these games!

It's my fav. feature in Dolphin emulator; the ability to play 4:3 games in true widescreen, without any stretching. I don't see as much culling as many gamecube / dreamcast games have: great!

these are excellent! how about dolphin blue, metal slug 6, and VF4?

thanks!

Dolphin blue.

Code:

2C3F2E2C
43B90000
2C3F2190
3FAA9FBE
2C3F2E6C
43B90000
2C3F215C
43F00000

I need to figure out a way to fix the hud in Virtua fighter 4+ the hack behaves differently depending on the version of demul you use.

For Metal SLug, it is a 100% 2D game so it is not possible to make it widescreen, sorry.

Mmmmm..... forget what I said about Metal Slug.

Metal Slug 6

Code:

2CE93478
3F400000
2CE9347C
3F8872B0

It may have clipping in some areas due to the way the graphics were intended to be displayed

Hi, I am new here and tried to set widescreen hack to vs3 but am not able to do this.
I installed cheatengine
DEmul: Config->Video-> aspect ratio: 16:9
Start game.
In Cheat Engine opened process demul (there were always 2 processes?!)
Clicked "add address manually" and added this 4 addresses from list and set to 4 bytes

But only value from first and third adress was set, the others were 0 and cant be checked.

Can someone please help me? :-)
