Hi, first of all, thanks for all the codes, that's really great work from your part Ralf ^^

I was wondering if you could do the same for the NTSC version of this game, and maybe a widescreen hack too ? I would gladly help and contribute if anything

Thanks.

Ralf@gc-forever · Post by **Ralf@gc-forever** » Wed Nov 19, 2014 7:16 pm

I don't have the US version of MGS TTS so unfortunately I cannot port the codes myself. Anyway, I'll put a PAL widescreen code on my to-do list.

Do you have some tutorial that can help me port them ? You can send me a PM if that's off-topic. Thanks

Hi Ralf, any chance you had the time to have a look at it ?

Ralf@gc-forever · Post by **Ralf@gc-forever** » Thu Jan 15, 2015 3:12 pm

I have tried to make a MGS TTS widescreen code several times without success, but I'll keep trying.

Kayael · Post by **Kayael** » Sat Jan 17, 2015 3:21 pm

Thanks for trying

@Kayael: Sometimes it just takes a little bit longer to make a code. I apologize for the wait.

Wow, I really am impressed you managed to pull this off ! Many thanks and definitely no need for an apologize. I will try this as soon as I can. What does PTR and ASM stand for ?

Ralf@gc-forever · Post by **Ralf@gc-forever** » Tue Apr 07, 2015 7:43 pm

PTR - Pointer code type version
ASM - Assembly instructions version (might be more compatible with Dolphin emulator, Nintendont etc.)

Very sad, but none of them worked with Nintendont. Asm code had no effect. Ptr freeze on Konami logo

Ralf@gc-forever · Post by **Ralf@gc-forever** » Tue Apr 14, 2015 12:41 pm

The code works fine on real GameCube with Action Replay and GeckoOS/WiiRD, so it must be a problem of Nintendont. Anyway, you could try to patch the MGS ISOs directly:

Open the MGS ISOs with a hex editor of your choice, search for the following byte sequence...

7F461E70: 72666C62 744F0000 3F800000 00000000
7F461E80: 43300000 80000000 49A00000 49A80000
7F461E90: 42480000 40000000 00000000 3F800000
7F461EA0: 00000000 00000000 3F800000 3F955555
7F461EB0: BF800000 45000000 45800000 4B7FF000
7F461EC0: 3D4CCCCD 00000000 43300000 80000000
7F461ED0: 00000000 00000000 43300000 80000000

and change the marked hex value from 3F800000 to 3F400000.

7F461E70: 72666C62 744F0000 3F800000 00000000
7F461E80: 43300000 80000000 49A00000 49A80000
7F461E90: 42480000 40000000 00000000 3F800000
7F461EA0: 00000000 00000000 3F400000 3F955555
7F461EB0: BF800000 45000000 45800000 4B7FF000
7F461EC0: 3D4CCCCD 00000000 43300000 80000000
7F461ED0: 00000000 00000000 43300000 80000000

from what i can tell nintendont for whatever reason doesnt allow access to the virtual 0x7F000000 memory regions, the PTR version should work just fine as it is but it appears to crash on access. The ASM version doesnt work because of the same reason as well as nintendont replaces the PADRead function already so the cheat has no effect. by the way thank you so much for all these incredible cheats you put out.

Ralf@gc-forever · Post by **Ralf@gc-forever** » Sat May 16, 2015 10:51 am

The game use a predefined floating-point constant for the aspect ratio, so it doesn't matter which game function is used to apply the patch as long as the aspect ratio constant is overwritten at least one time.

Kayael · Post by **Kayael** » Sun Oct 22, 2017 12:27 am

I might be asking too much, but do you think you can find a code to get rid of the letterboxing during cinematics ? I saw you did that on Eternal Darkness. From what I tried I could only deactivate a few effects but didn't manage to pinpoint the letterbox. That would be awesome. Thanks in advance if you ever consider doing this !
