The 480p Games Hex List Options

[AdoptedDeV]

****THIS IS NOT A HEX REQUEST THREAD****
Lets stop the clutter before it starts.
Thanks already to the peeps who have contributed. I hope you dont mind I've edited this post to add your contributions (with credits) for others convience.


Alright I've seen you guys mention more then a few times we should post a list of hex strings we've acquired and maybe ask one of the Mods to Pin it, maybe this can be it. And since the search feature is kinda ugly during peak hours I was sorta forced to scan threads for my beloved codes I failed to write down a day or two before so why not Kick start things a little bit yeah? Sorry its so short, this is just ten minutes work. Please feel free to share any other hex codes you've found for other games, not listed here. Also please state what video standard your using IE PAL (Europe) or NTSC (USA) or NTSC-J (Japan) I know a hex exists for Breakdown (jap) but I'm unable to locate it ATM.

Yea man AdoptedDeV you are the man exactly what i suggested a while ago, perfectio! And now i suggest this is added to and a sticky made right now!!
Good job again
Great initiative, make a rule of no hex requests, idiots would turn it into a eight page list of "have you got the hex values for game X??" "Whats a hex??" and "Wheres the hex for mS menus!?!? lol i can see it.
Make sticky, and get a good source goin!

Someone please tell me why this thread isn't stickied yet?

[chadwhack]

anyone test that hitman3 ntsc yet?

[Nathan561]

Wicked!

Hey Progscan, have you taken a look at Kung Fu Chaos and Extreme-G. They're both pretty good 480i only games.

[ProgScan]

Where most game are just too lazy to initialize the device properly, Kung Fu Chaos specificaly use field rendering in an half sized back buffer. I managed to get some results but there are a lot of device changes, render in texture and strech to the back buffer of these textures. It's really a tricky one to patch properly.

Maybe when i'll be an old retired man, I'll try to beat that challenge...

[AdoptedDeV]

updated list w/ new submissions... progscan that url comes up as all *'s.

[opjose]

Yes Hitman 3 (Contracts) NTSC patch works just great thank you.

[Dreamcazman]

Hey I just realised that a hexedit can be made to Hitman 3 to run in widescreen. Is there any chance the same can be done for Manhunt?

Damn sloppy programmers making the game 4:3 only
