[Discussion] 60FPS patches for PSP games that run at 30FPS

[Donel]

@solitarius: Wow, I can't believe it, Gran Turismo looks so much better without that screen shake *_*
The code for Tekken needs a refresh rate of 20 to work.

Thank you very much!


@Kabuto_Kun: As I said above, it worked just fine =)
Would you, by any chance, have a cheat code for fixing the light glows through objects that can be seen on Syphon Filter games?

EDIT: Your cheat code for Burnout Legends causes some issues in the menus that are not related to the game speed: https://github.com/hrydgard/ppsspp/issues/9221
You could disable the cheat for the menus as a workaround, since it causes tons of problems. 60 fps in the menus is not necessary anyway.

Kabuto_Kun can you make a 60 fps code for phantasy Star portable 2 infinity

I have a couple of game fixes/cheats/hacks that I haven't posted anywhere: MotorStorm sound/crash fix and performance improvements (migh work for PSVita too), Test Drive Unlimited performance/unbuffered rendering fix, Driver 76 performance improvements/line glitches fix, GTA LCS/VCS unbuffered rendering fix and more. I'm just busy/lazy to spent some time to write all the needed details for them. If there is interest on these I will do my best to post them soon

PLEASE, upload the "MotorStorm sound/crash fix and performance improvements" XD

Using cheats is same on all platforms, the only differences are:
- mobiles doesn't come with standard text editors so cheat menu doesn't have an option to open ini file, you have to install some app that can read ini files(some text editors might be limited to txt) then find and edit your game ini file in memstick\PSP\Cheats,
- memstick folder location is different for each platform ie on android it's your sdcard(name can vary between devices).

I guess first difference could be made way easier for mobile users if anyone would just pack all the patches(at least those known to work perfectly without causing issues) into cheat.db;p(format of this file is simple, same like ini files, but require _S/_G lines above cheat list for each game). That way it would just require copying database file into correct folder and pressing import in cheat menu.
~ Not really into maintaining such database myself, but just found importing was skipping first cheat and fixed it;p.

Apologies for bringing up what is probably the most requested game, but my understanding of the process for this isn't very good.

Is it theoretically possible for MHP3rd HD to run at 60fps without the side effects such as double speed animations, bodies disappearing, stamina draining faster etc. if somebody was willing to spend a lot of time tweaking the patch?

Or will it always have problems no matter how much time is spent?

This code for FF type 0 works but it screwed up the camera. i can use it for the normal lock on stuff. but i cant use it to change direction.it just stucked on that lock mode.it just keep locking on to some random chocobos on world map for example.holding R1 button or keep tapping it doesnt do anything

Please someone with the right skills make a patch for Ratchet & Clank: Size Matters (EU) and Secret Agent Clank (EU)

Jeanne d'Arc weird 40/40 fps got corrected today which partially disables 60fps patch from here, so if anyone's interested here's a new one:

Code:

_S UCUS-98700 _G Jeanne d'Arc _C0 60 fps _L 0xE0011420 0x0000921E _L 0x2000921C 0x1000000E _C0 60 fps [Disable] _L 0x2000921C 0x1420000E

This completely skips the code that was patched previously, so it doesn't really matter if earlier 60fps patch was disabled before activating new one or not.

[nex86]

Is there a patch for Crisis core?

*Cheat Status: No issues??
- The cheat must be enabled before starting the game or it won't work.
- There are custom versions of these WWE games around the internet (WWE 12,13,14, etc), these cheats should work with them too as long as those custom versions use as a base one of the game releases/regions with a 60FPS cheat available above.


The next games are native 60FPS, but because they need relatively powerful hardware to be playable, I'll post 30 FPS cheats for them.

Cheat updated to v2 on: Jun. 7, 2017
*Cheat Status:
- The game already runs at 60FPS by default, but it uses an internal Vsync that makes the game run at a fixed 30FPS when it can't keep a stable/solid 60FPS. You can use the 60FPS [No Vsync] cheat to disable it, which can make the game run better if you are running the game on a real PSP/PSVita/PSTV; it doesn't make any difference for PPSSPP.
- The 30FPS cheat can be used on PPSSPP (not for real PSP/Vita) to allow low powered devices (Android generally) to run the game at a stable 30FPS, so it's easier to achieve fullspeed. You MUST set a high PSP CPU speed for it to work as it should, so go to PPSSPP Settings>System and set it to a fixed value of 666Mhz at least.
- The same cheats can be used with the USA and EUR releases of the final game (both game BINs have the same MD5 checksum). Maybe the same cheats work for the JAP release but I didn't test it.


Driver 76 also has a 30FPS cheat that can be found here.

If you reduce the maximum internal resolution of a game on real hardware, does the image get stretched as a result, or are you able to crop the aspect ratio?

But there is something that is not well known from what I can see from some research: the PSP SLIM and later models actually doubled the PSP1000 VRAM to 4MB, but this additional 2 MB can't be used for games, only for homebrew. This is a confirmed fact and you can read details on how to unlock it here and here (on this one the user Mills seems to have been tried something with this some time ago).

The real question is, is it possible to unlock the extra VRAM for retail games using the same process with a kernel module? If the answer is yes, then increasing the internal resolution of some PSP games for PSP SLIM users should be totally possible.

EDIT:
It works! After reading the linked info, I unlocked the additional 2mb of VRAM on my PSP3000 (now it has 4 mb in total available for retail games) and higher internal resolutions are not showing garbage on screen and the games are not freezing anymore: I was playing GTA LCS at 720x408 on my PSP (1.5x the resolution of 480x272, but the game runs at 512x320 by default).

Of course the PSP screen is 480x272, a hardware limitation which can't be fixed via software, so what I did works as some kind of downsampling on PSPs; but for example if someone changes the emulated screen resolution of the PSVita (only if additional VRAM can be unlocked for it too), we might be able to play some games at PSVita native resolution (Vita has double resolution but with quadruple pixels in total, which is too much even with the extra VRAM). TV Out with PSPs could also get resolution benefits from this. This is still based on game-specific hacks, but I'm trying to detect patterns on how the games set their resolution.

I Got the 4 MB VRAM working and they used it in ONELua (a homebrew lua interpreter). It only works when connecting the PSP to a TV and it uses 720x480p

What games did you unlock? It would be awesome to test with a TV cable.

The games will store textures in VRAM untill it is full, and then they will use main RAM (it is much slower).
Using default resolution, a game should use the 4MB VRAM to store more textures instead of using the main RAM... And it should run faster in theory.

Is it really possible to unlock fps for PS1 games? It will also be awesome to force texture filters .

I'm also waiting for ratchet and clank cheat, love that game.

I wonder if this would be usable on the PSP to save some of that limited VRAM.

Fun fact: Most of the textures in WipEout Pulse are in TGA format, just compacted together. I actually took a lot of these textures, upscaled them with xBRZ and then saved them as PNG's. After running them through AdvDef, OptiPNG and PNGout, they were significantly smaller than the original TGA textures despite being higher resolution. Unfortunately, getting the game to run using PNG textures would require its engine to be reprogrammed, and it would probably still need to use VRAM to decompress them into regular bitmaps first. Bleh.

...and it would probably still need to use VRAM to decompress them into regular bitmaps first. Bleh.

Yeah.. The game engine is surelly programmed to load the images at a particular quality, and they will use the same VRAM/RAM as the original ones, even if you save the textures in 2 colors tga, and reduce the size a lot.
