Patches for 7 games have been added including default settings
modifications for Disney's Treasure Planet to prevent few issues.
Thanks to Prafull for the patches !
What this PR primarily does is to sort out the PAL-E mess.
Some have used PAL-E for Englsh, others for Europa (PAL-M5), and others still for España.
With this PR all PAL-E should refer to English, while the ones referring to Europa have PAL-M5 or something as a code, and the ones referring to España have PAL-S as a code.
Generally only one letter is used for the more common languages; English etc.
So is the case in this PR.
For some PAL-M2 entries in particular, though maybe also for some PAL-M3 entries, there can be 2 or more discs of the same game having this code; it's not necessarily a disc specific code - it only tells how many languages the disc supports.
So is the case in this PR.
Language codes used:
E - English
G - German
I - Italian
S - Spanish
F - French
P - Portuguese
R - Russian
DU - Dutch
NO - Norwegian
SE - Swedish
DA - Danish
FI - Finnish
CZ - Czech
PL - Polish
HR - Croatian
HI - Hindu
This informs PCSX2 which games want to access more than just their own save files so it can load them into the virtual folder memory card.
This includes:
- Multi-disc games which obviously need to access saves from the other disc(s).
- Games that allow importing data from prequels.
- Games that unlock bonuses if they find data from other games in the series, by the same developer, etc.
This is almost certainly not all games that would want to access other saves, but it should cover a lot them.
Game still doesn't look quite right in hardware renderer (too bright)
but the hideous graphics errors are fixed by changing clamp mode. This
game is considered something of a "hidden FPS gem", so it's nice to
think people will be able to play it on PCSX2 now.
using the data from the forums and web site.

Nice easy one to fix. Will need logs from recent SVN ( r5743 or higher) dev builds, not SVN builds in order to fix other versions.
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@5753 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
All "macflag" reads are patched to ensure there's no other issues. I might have a go at the EU one soon (unless somebody can get me a dev build log of it all the way up to the first gate)
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@5739 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
Also 3 patches for ace combat 4 (US). As I'm not aware of any physics problems I'm a bit confused about what this might fixed but the code is executed so it should fix something.
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@5737 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
-Added patch for Drakan (SCES-50006) to improve the corruption problems when using resolution scaling.
-Many comment modifications and console comments explaining that BIOS boot is required for correct language selection.
Thanks for the updates :)
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@5621 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
-Elemental Garde - Fixed up D-Bit so it remembers the microVU state when recompiling, this fixes the bad geometry that was introduced with T/D bit handling.
-WRC Rally Evolved - Changed the XGKick delay to an increased number, solves all remaining SPS problems.
-Crash Twinsanity - Increased XGKick delay resolves geometry issues on Crash, thanks to Autoran1 for debugging this :)
GameDB Changes: Added XGKick hack to Crash Twinsanity auto gamefixes, checked the main entries for the others above have it too.
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@5608 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
Current status: the pad rpc hangs in the second iteration of the main game loop for an unknown reason.
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@5396 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
GSdx Hackfixes: Lego Batman changed to aggressive list, doesn't really fix ingame and breaks the title screens.
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@5328 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
A proper fix for this is not happening nor is it even desirable because of the performance impact it would have, the game seems to unintentionally rely on the RPC arguments remaining in cache until sceSifCallRpc. A slightly better patch is possible, this one eats some extra EE cycles and might theoretically make the game emulate at less than full speed (but probably won't in practice).
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@4957 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
Summary of changes...
Fixed menus and HUD for Spyro: A New Beginning and Spyro: the Eternal Night.
Fixed missing dialogs and reduced the VRam usage a bit for Tales of Legendia ("8-bit textures" help a bit more with Vram/speed). Should be playable now in hardware mode. Thanks to rama for figuring it could be hackfixed this way and the initial patch :)
Half-screen fixes for Ty the Tasmanian Tiger 2, X-men Origins: Wolverine, Call of Duty: World at War - Final Fronts.
Modified the Star Wars: Force Unleashed hackfix a bit, shouldn't have the see-thru objects anymore.
Also modified the Metal Gear Solid 3 and Gran Turismo 4 hackfixes as they needed different skip values for each region (PAL/NTSC). Thanx to avih for the region code... and the free C/C++ lessons :P
The hackfix for Sly 3 was still showing stripes for 3-D and two-player modes, fixed for NTSC version now and hopefully works for PAL one too.
Couple GameDB updates after the gif rewrite.
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@4833 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
it kinda works better if you make the hackfix use the function...
GSdx: Dragon Ball Z Budokai Tenkaichi 2's hackfix works with NTSC version now too.
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@4792 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
The Lord of the Rings: the Third Age (Removing fat stripes on screen).
Digimon Rumble Arena 2 (Half screen issue).
Star Wars - The Force Unleashed (Hiding HUD and 3d issues. Not perfect and NTSC-U only, not sure if it works with PAL).
Star Wars Battlefront 1/2 (Huge VRAM usage issue. NTSC-U only, not sure if it works with others).
Black Hawk Down - Team Sabre (Half screen issue and removes the night vision filter which was broken and using a lot of VRAM).
Minimal changes to other CRC hackfixes and GameDB.
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@4766 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
GameDB: Onimusha 4: Dawn of Dreams playable again with a patch. Minor other updates.
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@4706 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
These nice games should be playable at last.
Thanks to Lana for finding them! :)
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@4623 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
Also added Valkyria Profile 2 Italy to the gamedb and GSdx crc list. By Leucos.
Thanks guys :)
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@4618 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
Also a few changes for Tekken 5, "City at sunset" stage, hopefully there's nothing else wrong with this game anymore.
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@4585 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
Also removed the effect in the burning temple stage which had thin lines over it when using high res.
GameDB: More updates ~_~
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@4562 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
These games will not work with newer PCSX2 versions anymore.
Game database: A few updates
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@4525 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
This should be mandatory but (most probably) timing issues make this break more games than it fixes.
Notable exception: Mana Khemia 1 (going "off campus"), so I added it to the auto gamefix database (Only NTSC so far, anyone got the PAL CRCs?).
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@4512 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
- Added an EE roundmode patch entry for AR Tonelico 2 that fixes a fall through floor bug
- Disabled an exception in the ISO file reader. It now continues working when it runs into incomplete game rips (may need a review).
- Disabled 2 annoying logs :p
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@4307 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
Another round of configuration dialog renovations.
Fixes the leftover "Skipdraw" text when hacks are disabled.
Group the options a bit nicer. Group hardware Anti Aliasing with hacks.
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@3693 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
Long interrupt delays are always bad, no matter how true it is to actual console behavior.
(Issue with running code in block slices.)
Also removed outdated hacks for Devil May Cry PAL :p
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@3629 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
* Add SkipMpeg for Guilty Gear X Accent Core Plus (Issue 761).
* Set SVN EOL props to LF for the GameIndex.dbf file, since that's what PCSX2 uses when it generates and/or modifies the file.
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@3297 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
The other games in the database that are using skipMPEG patches need to be tested to see if they still even need them...
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@3123 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
If you know a game that still needs you to manually select the gamefix in the gamefix panel, the please comment (or fill out an issue).
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@3039 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
So far I've added the tri-ace gamefix to all tri-ace games i know in the database.
The other gamefixes just need to be added to the games in the database (pcsx2 already has the support to load the other gamefixes)
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@3038 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
