This hex patch as those of you following the '480p Games Hex List' thread will know allows many interlaced games to run in 480p that were previously unpatched.
Replace:
8B 57 28 50 8B 47 30 50 8B 47 2C 51 8B 4F 04 52
with:
50 8B 47 30 50 8B 47 2C 51 8B 4F 04 90 6A 00 90
*Please always backup your original xbe*
Background
The majority of games call CreateDevice(x,x,x,x,x,x,x). A struct _D3DPRESENT_PARAMETERS_ is passed to the 6th x.
This describes the presentation parameters for the game. _D3DPRESENT_PARAMETERS_ contains among other things a Dword - 'Flags'. Flags is what all previous 480i -> 480p patches have been patching (20h (interlaced) to 00 (autoselect) or 40 (progressive). Within the CreateDevice call the _D3DPRESENT_PARAMETERS_ struct is broken down, 'Flags' being the 11th value is stored at +28h.
Below you can see that the original XBE moves +28h to edx (mov edx, [edi+28h]), this however isn't 'pushed' (push edx)
until just before the SetVideoMode call, this means the the 1st arg of the SetVideoMode call is the Dword value for 'Flags'.
So changing the code to 'push' a value of 0 instead of the original edx / +28h value it will cause 480i / p autoselect.
To do this I had to first 'nop' (do nothing) out 8B 57 28 with 90 90 90 and then move everything around. From the original XBE you can see that push edx (52 as hex) is one hex32 value. However Push 0 is (6A 00) so requires 2 hex32 values. I was not possible to simple do a push 0 at the location of 90 90 90 since it needed to be in the same place as the original push edx.
CODE
Original XBE
8B 57 28 mov edx, [edi+28h]
50 push eax
8B 47 30 mov eax, [edi+30h]
50 push eax
8B 47 2C mov eax, [edi+2Ch]
51 push ecx
8B 4F 04 mov ecx, [edi+4]
52 push edx
8B 57 28 50 8B 47 30-50 8B 47 2C 51 8B 4F 04 52
Patched XBE
50 push eax
8B 47 30 mov eax, [edi+30h]
50 push eax
8B 47 2C mov eax, [edi+2Ch]
51 push ecx
8B 4F 04 mov ecx, [edi+4]
90 nop
6A 00 push 0
90 nop
50 8B 47 30 50 8B 47 2C 51 8B 4F 04 90 6A 00

you would need to push a vaule of 20 instead of 0

I don't want 480P disabled totally. Only for a few specific games. I should explain. An example would be the game 'Serious Sam' which is 480p. It works just fine when I play from the game disc with my chip disabled. Here's the weird part. If I play it with my chip on and launching from avalaunch or unleashx, the video becomes scrambled. If I disable 480p like you said twisted, then it indeed works BUT I still want 480P for all my other games.
I discovered that 480P was the problem when I did the hex edit to enable 480p in Metal Slug 3. When I launched it, it scrambled the exact same way that serious sam did. I obviously undid the hex-edit after that. This is my quandry.

What do you mean with scrambled: absolutely no recognizable picture, or artifacts that increase when there is motion.
If the latter is the case, than you probably refer to "de-interlace" problems, given by the fact that most video's are interlaced (i.e. 480i) by nature. When they are played back in progressive scan (i.e. 480p) the result is that adjacent lines have a temporal difference of 30 miliseconds as they originate from two different fields, resulting in "sawtooth" edges.

So raydn, is there any parameter there that specifies 720p or 1080i modes? I realize changing the actual resolution may cause many issues with a game, including scaling issues, collision detection problems, slow framerates, etc. however I'd still like to try it and see for myself.
Post by: raydn on March 31, 2005, 06:31:00 AM
I would recommend searching the xbe for 280h followed by 1E0h, and changing them at that location. Using this ^ method i did get I-Ninja to run at 720p, looked very crisp, only noticble problem was with the in game text and and intro vids. 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.
Post by: twistedsymphony on March 31, 2005, 08:38:00 AM
That's really friggin cool!Any chance you know where the string is for how much memory the game uses? 720p patches along with 128MB memory patches could make for some kick ass patches for popular games
You would be a God among men if you were able to 720p & 128MB patch Halo 2, PGR 2, or Splinter Cell 3

The first two values of D3DPRESENT_PARAMETERS specify the height and width of the backbuffer. This would be 640 (280h) x 480 (1E0h) for 480i/p. You would need to change the 280h to 500h and 1E0h to 2D0h for 720p. It is unlikely it will be possible to make it work by patching at this location simply because many games rely on these two values for placement of menus and text amoung other things.
I would recommend searching the xbe for 280h followed by 1E0h, and changing them at that location. Using this ^ method i did get I-Ninja to run at 720p, looked very crisp, only noticble problem was with the in game text and and intro vids.

This is too cool. This would be the first major breakthrough in the video section, since the vga bios were released. I would look into upgrading my xbox ram if 720p were possible via hex editing. Keep up the good work raydn, i'm extremely excited to see where you take this.

Anyhow I looked at the files and there is actuall an xbox.cgf file on the disc, and it has the following lines:
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
I thought this was really odd for an Xbox game... must be very PC-ish in nature. Anyhow, changing interlaced to false makes the game crash before it even boots, and commenting it out defaults it to interlaced :angry:
Any ideas? I didn't check for the hex yet, because at this point I am assuming this file is the key.
Edit: I tried changing the word to PROGRESSIVE, but that had no effect.

500h is 1280

interesting side note - though pal games are 'suposed to be higher res' than ntsc and this is listed in the xdk help. pal = 720 x 576, ntsc 640 x 480 it often the case that all games are 640 x 480

I understand what resolutions each stand for, my question is what to search for. When i do a text search for 280h, i find nothing. Someone else asked this question earlier to you, and you said it is a text search in ida, and that the hex equivalent is 80 02. I've tried search for both but cannot find it. What is ida? Is it not software like hex workshop?
Anyway, all i want to do is search for the 640 x 480 res, and change it to 720 x 1280. You mentioned to change the 280h to 500h and 1E0h to 2D0h for 720p.
I cannot even find these values to change them.
I realize that there is problems when changing these setting, and it will more then likely crash, but i would like to mess with it some.

IDA is a 'Windows or Linux hosted multi-processor disassembler and debugger'. Take a look here. It's helpful since it supports XBE files. Using an xbox 'FLIRT' file (its on the web somewhere) it will display most of the xapi functions.
A search for 280 will turn up nothing in a normal hex editor simple reason is that from a debuger to a hex editor the value is reversed. So 280 is 80 20 in hex. If you just want to change the backbuffer size try searching in a hex editor for somthing similar to 66 C7 46 04 80 02 66 C7 46 06 E0 01 since 280h is nearly always followed by 1E0h in the XBE (note: the hex not in bold will not be the same in other XBE files).
In IDA select 'IDA View-A' search (, 280h) ;)

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

Post by: raydn on April 16, 2005, 10:09:00 AM
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.

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!

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

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.

This is really strange.
Ran Configmagic and changed the region from 4 to 1, played MoH:EA and it was in prog scan. Changed the region back to 4, tried it again and it was still in prog scan.

Gret stuff silvermax - you're on fire!
Post em in the 480p hex list thread , not as many people read this one.
If you need any more info look for a number of my posts. A little trick i found out is if you find a game giving you grief with patching only to either 480i or 480p and not autoselect (00) is to nop the complete line out with 90's
btw the holy grail is to 'widescreen' soulcalibur II for 720p mode. I tried again today and still having no luck even found a new setvideomode to patch but kept kicking me back to dash for some reason

The situation with soul caliber II in 720 is that it is cropped 4:3. I was thinking that it was running 10x11 (add / or 100h) but now i think about it it might just require a render buffer width being changed from 640 to 1280. Might give it another look over at some point.

Just a thought but would it be possible to use some of these methods being used here to fix some of the PAL games that have Hi Def or ProScan issues? For example the PAL version of Enter The Matrix will not run when 720p and 1080i is enabled on your Xbox however the NTSC version runs the game in HD fine.
Another problem is the PAL versions of GTA games. Although they play in 480p they are all screwed up to look at on screen.

i've read about that too..
as far as i can tell, it has both of the examples you gave me. i'm using hex workshop to search for them, and they both pull up. i have to take the spaces out of your examples to find any thing, but after i do, it finds them both. i don't have a lot of experience with any of this, but i'm a quick learner. i noticed that taking out the spaces changed some of the "letter" values, does that make a difference?
raydn, you seem to be the guy to talk to, i hope i can make this as easy as possible for you. any assistance i get from you or anyone here is really cool.
thanks in advance

I will twist the above around in a short while for you and magic up a patch that should help you out, nothing to hard. Just make sure that you do have the xbox in ntsc mode and 480p is enables in the dash
basically this 8B 46 28 needs to be nopped (90s) and a 50 later in the line needs to become 6A 00. You might be able to figure this one out... so you have 90 90 push the remaing hex along one and change one of them 50s at the end to 6a 00. hex should still be same length.
I'll post back later when i check which one it is.

maybe a dumb question, but would that TW2006 fix above work on the pal version to get 480p operational ? all Tiger Wood pal versions have been 480i only so far.
Does anyone out there have the Pal version ? I never bothered after 2004 because of the probs I had with Tiger WOods pal.

probably worth trying, jo. if anyone has an answer, raydn would be the one.
speaking of which, i did try again, and finally got it to work reliably. had to tinker with evox a bit. my video mode was set to default, which usually works. so i didn't really think much of it. the weird thing was that, after i edited the hex code, it worked under unleash just fine. so, i tried going to evox and playing from there, with the trainer. i got the squiggly lines again. the oddest thing was that when i IGR'd my box, i would get the squigglies (technical terminology?) again. if i turned my box off and turned it back on, unleashx would play it just fine. only when i soft rest did i get the problems. no big deal, it works great now, but i've never run in to that before.
just thought i'd throw that out there.
thanks again, raydn, keep it up.

I'm just going to stick with the workaround of disabling 480p in the dash.
I apologize raydn for jacking your thread.
I have the same problem on Metal Slug 3 PAl patched for progressive and few game like Panzer Dragon Orta, my tv indicate that the signal is 720x480P but i've this scrambled screen too (but only on very few game).

Hello, I've read this topic i think it's very interesting, specially information about 480p->720p patching.
First of all, thanks to Raidn for all this information.
Here is my question/trouble:
I've Chessmaster game, patched it succesfully, so it's working now in progressive mode (480p).
I think that a chess game doesn't need a lot of resources for working properly, so I've tried to patch it to run at 720p with no success.
Here are the changes that i've made:
Original (IDA-view-A) ->
seg000:00033D79 mov ds:dword_2AF8D8, 280h
seg000:00033D83 mov ds:dword_2AF8DC, 1E0h
Patched->
seg000:00033D79 mov ds:dword_2AF8D8, 500h
seg000:00033D83 mov ds:dword_2AF8DC, 2D0h
So, that's it in hex view:
00 C7 05 D8 F8 2A 00 80 02 00 00 C7 05 DC F8 2A 00 E0 01 00 00 A3 E8 F8
->
00 C7 05 D8 F8 2A 00 00 05 00 00 C7 05 DC F8 2A 00 D0 02 00 00 A3 E8 F8
With this changes I get a black screen and the game doesn't initialize freezing the xbox .
Any help will be apreciate!

Can someone please patch Egg-Mania Eggstrem Madness to 480p.
I´ve got a Crystal Edition with 1000GB HD and Tsop Flash.
I can play all games on it. But with Egg Mania I´ve got a problem.
With every mode (NTSC,PAL,PAL60...) I´ve startet the game the game isn´t in color. It´s in Black And White.
With the Av Cable its with color.
It would be very nice if someone can make a patch like the 480p patch for XYANIDE (in use with ppf-omatic patcher.....etc..) and upload it?

speaking of which, i did try again, and finally got it to work reliably. had to tinker with evox a bit. my video mode was set to default, which usually works. so i didn't really think much of it. the weird thing was that, after i edited the hex code, it worked under unleash just fine. so, i tried going to evox and playing from there, with the trainer. i got the squiggly lines again. the oddest thing was that when i IGR'd my box, i would get the squigglies (technical terminology?) again. if i turned my box off and turned it back on, unleashx would play it just fine. only when i soft rest did i get the problems. no big deal, it works great now, but i've never run in to that before.
just thought i'd throw that out there.
thanks again, raydn, keep it up.

I found it exactly as listed, but spread over two different lines. Is this relevant?
I changed to alternate Hex but I still get a Black Screen.
Any advice?

This is the Serious Sam main menu:
I can't find any matching hex strings so I have no idea where to try to edit.
I'm just going to stick with the workaround of disabling 480p in the dash.
I apologize raydn for jacking your thread.
I have the same problem on Metal Slug 3 PAl patched for progressive and few game like Panzer Dragon Orta, my tv indicate that the signal is 720x480P but i've this scrambled screen too (but only on very few game).
I dsicover that the playstation emulator pcsx for xbox have the same problem, if i activat e480p or 720p -> scrambled

I've Xyanide well working on 480P now, but the problem is that i get black borders on top and below. Is there a way to hex edit and get a full screen? (something related to pixel aspect ratio?)
I hate widescreen (letterbox) on a non widescreen TV (mine) too.

First of all, thanks to Raidn for all this information.
Here is my question/trouble:
I've Chessmaster game, patched it succesfully, so it's working now in progressive mode (480p).
I think that a chess game doesn't need a lot of resources for working properly, so I've tried to patch it to run at 720p with no success.
Here are the changes that i've made:
Original (IDA-view-A) ->
seg000:00033D79 mov ds:dword_2AF8D8, 280h
seg000:00033D83 mov ds:dword_2AF8DC, 1E0h
Patched->
seg000:00033D79 mov ds:dword_2AF8D8, 500h
seg000:00033D83 mov ds:dword_2AF8DC, 2D0h
So, that's it in hex view:
00 C7 05 D8 F8 2A 00 80 02 00 00 C7 05 DC F8 2A 00 E0 01 00 00 A3 E8 F8
->
00 C7 05 D8 F8 2A 00 00 05 00 00 C7 05 DC F8 2A 00 D0 02 00 00 A3 E8 F8
With this changes I get a black screen and the game doesn't initialize freezing the xbox .
Any help will be apreciate!

Has anyone tried to patch the msdashboard to 720p or it's offsprings like thclite? I am not able to find the correct strings to edit.
Do you have the pre-requisite cables? Have a look at this

I´ve got a Crystal Edition with 1000GB HD and Tsop Flash.
I can play all games on it. But with Egg Mania I´ve got a problem.
With every mode (NTSC,PAL,PAL60...) I´ve startet the game the game isn´t in color. It´s in Black And White.
With the Av Cable its with color.
It would be very nice if someone can make a patch like the 480p patch for XYANIDE (in use with ppf-omatic patcher.....etc..) and upload it?
