OG Xbox widescreen hex edits resource/guide?

[demilich]

Anybody know where I can find a guide for this process or a current thread of continued widescreen hex edits?

I'm aware of ps2wide.net and the archived Assembler forums thread.

There's at least one thread on emuxtras for 720p patches, including widescreen for some games, using OgXHD.
The thread is large and still active.

Yeah as mentioned above there is a great thread over at EmuXtras, and then another thread here I posted which had a lot of patches you could download. I was making the thread with the intention that others post their patched .XBE's or detail what hex codes they edited but it didn't get much traction.

Thanks for the link. I see that thread is pretty extensive.
I assumed the 720p patches were for similar resolution like Soul Calibur 2 with its native 720p option & 4:3 aspect ratio.
But it looks like most of these 720p patches render at 1280 x 720 at a 16x9 aspect ratio?

Also is OgXHD hit or miss for 720/widescreen patches?

Not all games can be patched for widescreen iirc.
I'm not concerned about it myself, black bars have never bothered me if the AR is correct.

I need to find the latest hacked 360 emu, pretty sure what I have is April 2018 but I need the late November 2019 patch by Mathieulh, unless there's something even more recent.

I just finished going through most of the thread, 90+ pages.
Looks like since 720p is the priority for those patches, and whether or not they include widescreen, an upgraded xbox is better? I'm sure 720p and widescreen look awesome.

I would honestly prefer 480p with widescreen since I just use a widescreen CRT but does not support 720p unfortunately.
I wonder if @Esppiral is still focusing on widescreen only hex codes or if there is a guide to specifically find widescreen hex codes.

I only have a softmodded Xbox atm and got some 480p games running with the hex codes from PS2wide.net and @Esppiral hex codes from the archived Assembler thread.

thanks for link and what a great way to consolidate your codes!

is there a way to have enable widescreen in games playing on an unmoddded xbox?
Like codes for codebreaker or something...

nope, no such thing exists.
why don't you mod it? onboard flash chips are starting to die (life expectancy is ~20 years) and dvd drives are dying as well

I like to maintain console untouched.
I know it would be easier the other way, but what I can do
