Actually, updating my patcher was just 2 lines. So here it is: https://www.dropbox.com/s/sjpw1r7y7606324/AsterixWidescreenPatcha.zip?dl=0 Just quickly tested one level, but I don't see why it shouldn't work.

Does this camera distance thing increase the view distance?

Is there anything I need to do to select widescreen resolutions? Won't work for me (or I'm doing something wrong)

Once you patched the game, you should be able to choose a widescreen resolution in the menue.

pyramidensurfer

The camera distance is the distance between you and the character you're controlling. If you don't increase it, you're pretty close to him, because the widescreen rendering basically crops off the top and the bottom.

This also happens on the map, which I haven't fixed yet.

Alright, you're doing a pretty good job!

Are those shields stretched? D:

Slightly. I don't know if I'll be able to fix that. But if you just patch the resolution in the save file, the entire image is stretched, so I already made major progress. I think I can now finally patch that projection matrix permanently. XXL 2 was harder to patch than XXL 1.

yarnfang

It's a common problem with games when you try to make a wide screen mod that the UI gets stretched

pyramidensurfer

I've actually patched the cameras field of view for XXL 2, instead of moving it further behind the character like in XXL 1. Unfortunately, this means that some objects on side side tend to disappear when they should usually be out of view, like the widescreen hacking in Dolphin.

yarnfang

Yeah, because even though you see more it doesn't render more

yarnfang

The trick to save memory :3c

Shields are fine now.

But the menue is pretty messed up.

This is still going to take a while...
