Silent Hill Origins Patch?

[ThePriest909]

Need some help to make or (even better) find a pcsx2 patch for "Silent Hill Origins"...
I tried the patch creation tutorial (pinned thread) but no luck....
Anyone able to help?

EDIT:

Patch ID: A8D83239.pnach

[refraction]

the patch for Silent Hill is quite complex. Which region is your game for?

[ThePriest909]

Hi refraction, thanks for replying!

It's Europe.


According to the pinned tutorial this is what I did.... no luck though.

gametitle=SILENT HILL ORIGINS
comment=Skips Video (sceMpegIsEnd)
//Skip Videos
patch=0,EE,002f9948,word,24020001

[bositman]

Yeah when he said it's complex it means it does not follow the scempegisend pattern,so you'll need someone with advanced knowledge to do it

[ThePriest909]

Yeap. Obviously it is complex.
I posted the code just as additional info.

Ill see if i can find the patch tonight for the japanese version (might be US, cant remember) unless Prafull gets here with it first.

but as i said, its very complicaited and its unlikely to work on your version.

[Federelli]

Since i'm not in japan i got the US version, if that patch could be provided it will certainly be appreciated, see how the game goes in pscx2 .

//experimental movie skip :P
//patch=0,EE,001b02c4,word,00000000

there you go, have fun, be warned tho, the movie skip causes sound to dissapear as well

The Preist: your version is US not Europe, its the same CRC as the US one.

[ThePriest909]

A huge THANKS Refraction!!!!!!!!
I'll be back with some feedback in a few moments.


EDIT--------------------------------------------------------------------------

I was able to move a few steps forward by using the code but... ....
The game will either crash or stop after a console warning "bad start code 1b3, will manually skip stream".

[refraction]

Then you need to uncomment the video skip patch (the // infront of the last line) It will cause problems on the first level with sound, but should be ok apart from that

[Federelli]

Tyvm for the patch refraction, will try it later when i can .

Tried it, it gets to the ratio select screen now, but it hangs upon button press, even with movie skip part enabled.

[Prafull]

I am back!!!!

Silent hill origins ?? Zerospu= evil, peops spu= ok

Dont complain about missing textures, movies and sounds though. []

[Federelli]

Joo Speak Teh Trooth!

'I get bad start code 1b3, will manuall skip stream" as typed, as the audience warning video tries to end, with or without skip patch. It's weird it kinda enters a loop trying to get to the next part.

[ThePriest909]

Yeap... same here... The "//" thing doesn't work either....
I had some time to play around with the code and I noticed that the last line doesn't really makes any difference. The video will either get in a loop or cause a crash with or without the last line...

[refraction]

okay, it must have been the other lines i got rid of lol

prafull, you got them? xD

[Federelli]

Bad refraction! :P, codemaster yet patch nub!

I am now stuck with another session of blocky psp graphics on this game :P.

[refraction]

this is all the stuff i had in the patch, have a play

[ThePriest909]

And yes it finally works!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...... but....
I had to remove the "//" from the last 2 lines.

[spike1977]

ehi, lock on the screen to select 4:3 or 16:9 screen?
Why?

Doh! Pcsx2 doesn't work without joypad buahuahuahua

[ThePriest909]

Spike delete the "//" infront of the last 2 lines.
I had the same problem. It works.
It's a bit "slow" though.
