SuperMonkey ball worked at 720p until the game started at which point it crashed out with a blue screen displaying an out of memory error

Raydn, I did find a only 1 similar string in the hex file at position 5691Ah, which I changed accordingly:

00 7E 05 BE 80 02 00 00 81 FF E0 01
00 7E 05 BE 00 05 00 00 81 FF D0 02

But this did not give the 720p as you mentioned (I double checked my Xbox settings and did a check with Enter the Matrix in 720p)

At which position did you change the XBE?

[raydn]

Opps. Since it didnt work correctly i never recorded the changes i made to super monkey ball. So can't help much atm.

Just a quick word - the setvideomode patch is only intended to patch to 480i/p from interlaced not to other resolutions. I never used anything as complex as this patch to fiddle with that.

changing the res with this patch will most likely not work since something earlier in the code will reqire the display dimentions eg rendering. It would be wrong to think you can patch the game to 720p with this patch imo.

You are right raydn, this was a long shot.

But since I have 128Mb in my box, I thought I should give it a try.

Keep on the good work!

I just got Dead to Rights 2 and was so very disappointed to see it is 480i. What I don't get is that the first one was 480p for certain... Silly Namco, they made iNinja 480i and you guys get it running in 720p, haha.

  LOL

I just had a look the XBE of Dead To Rights 2 - I have never seen an XBE like this one before. Don't expect this to be patched anytime soon!


The mad thing is that the xbox.cfg has the values in it.

SetBkInt32 MODE_WIDTH 640
SetBkInt32 MODE_HEIGHT 480
SetBkInt32 MODE_COLOR_DEPTH 32
SetBkInt32 MODE_Z_DEPTH 32
SetBkBool FULLSCREEN TRUE
SetBkBool INTERLACED TRUE
SetBkInt32 MODE_REFRESH_RATE 60

...but this crashes the game before it loads. I couldnt find any signiture check on the cfg file.


 Have to say I think only hope will be a look at the PC version when that comes out or mayb someone else has more luck.

yes, i also noticed this , i got the default.xbe, checked several hex edits, none were successful for dead to rights 2, i hope it gets a hex edit!

Pls let me know progressive Code for Dead to Rights 2

[twistedsymphony]

Is this code supposed to set the video mode permanently to 480p or should it auto select 480p/i?

I ask because I just picked up Headhunter redemption this is the first game I've tried to patch with this. it works great in 480p but it locks up when I try to run in 480i... a shame there isn't an easy patch available.

So changing the code to 'push' a value of 0 instead of the original edx / +28h value it will cause 480i / p autoselect.

raydn,

I grabbed the default.xbe from I-Ninja and ran it through IDA Pro with the Xbox flirt (Xbox.sig in sig folder) loaded up and I do a text search for 280h and it comes up with nothing.

What am I doing wrong?

I want to patch the game to 720p to see how it looks.

I'm new to using IDA so go easy on me

[raydn]

At the weekend if I get time ill try attempt the I-Ninja 720p patch again and post it here for anyone interested.

basically make sure you are in IDA View-A and do a search (ALT-T) for , 280h

Hi,

Thanks, it does indeed.

Here's one that doesn't work though -

Medal of Honour: European Assault

Tried the old hex edits and nothing, then tried this one and it did infact find and change the code but when I ran the game it was still in 480i.

Well done EA. :angry:

I got the US version and it runs in 480p, I take it you have the PAL version?

This seems to be a common trend with EA, do they have something against the PAL market or something?  :huh:

NTSC game, PAL Xbox.

It just seemed wierd that, of all the hex codes for prog scan, only this one actually found the string but it still ran in 480i.
