There's A Patch For Ikaruga !!!
 

There's a patch for Ikaruga so its runs at 60 Hz.
It's name is "adr-ika.zip".
I need someone who could spread it...

Or try this :
_ open the image (or 1st_read.bin) with an hex editor
_ look for "0B 42 09 00 01 1F 0C 84"
_ change it by "0B 42 09 00 01 1F 30 E0"

I think it might work if you only do that, but if it doesn't :
_ look for "63 74 20 31 32 20 32 30 30 30 20 31 39 3A 32 30"
_ and change it by "00" until "69 6E 00 53 45 4C 45 43 54 2E 70 76 72 00 00"
==> 255796 bytes !

Please, can you mail me the patch?

bubumoko********com

Done.

Put it somewhere so that everybody can get it.

Send me the patch please Megalexxx.
& I'll patch & post the 60hz PAL edition.

Cheers.........

P.S

I'm looking for 60hz patches for these 2 also

Fatal Fury Garou
King of The Fighters 2000

Hi Megalexxx, the patch worked. I just replaced
"0B 42 09 00 01 1F 0C 84"
with
"0B 42 09 00 01 1F 30 E0"
and it worked fine. :)

Thanks a lot!

Cheers Yod@ I'll try this in that case, I'll post it tomorrow all been well.

Again thanks............

I would also like the 60Hz Patch please. A link or in an email.

At least Ikaruga is still good at 50Hz. The boarder are very small and I don't think I can notice any speed decrease when compared to playing it at 60Hz(On a VGA Box).

Does anyone else agree?

Thanks.

Now all we need is 60Hz patches for Garou & KoF2K. These games should be played 60Hz on a TV, not a monitor.

It works a treat.

Thanks Megalexxx & Yod@

I'm posting the patched version on 2 obvious news groups to share it about.

Cheers again.

Yod@ : thanx for testing ! :)

For all of you who can't wait for the patch to be available everywhere, do this :
_ open the image (or 1st_read.bin) with an hex editor
_ look for "0B 42 09 00 01 1F 0C 84"
_ change it by "0B 42 09 00 01 1F 30 E0"

I'll have a look for your patch...

first of all, thanks to everybody for posting this

playing around with the code posted by Megalexxx I found that the same code will also fix the following games (make them run at 60 Hz):

Mark Of The Wolves
Space Channel 5 Part 2
Sakura Wars 4

I don't have KOF 2K to test it, but I think it is highly likely it will work there also

Well...

Have you checked your games are really running 60 Hz ?
I mean, finding this code doesn't mean it will work the same way on other games...

yes, the games now are running at 60 Hz

Ok, thanx for confirming. :)
I'll had that in my PAL Patcher. :)

Just wondering, is there a known 60Hz patch for Sega Rally 2? The existing ones don't seem to work :(

Thanks

Megalexxx, thanks for the 60Hz code. It worked for me on 4 games that I tested.

- Ikaruga,
- Garou: Mark of the Wolves,
- The King of Fighters 2000 (fixed for PAL DCs version).
- Cosmic Smash (JAP)

Does NOT work for:
- Yu Suzuki's Gameworks Volume 1.

I added a new entry into the ADRenalin Patcher (in the "Patch.data" file) and used it to patch the games.

It's about time Garou/KoF2K got 60Hzed.


Just curious, how did you find the code?


- 108dragon.

108dragon : easy !
_ Patch Ikaruga
_ compare original & patched 1st_read.bin

It's easy, and since I've already looked for loads of patches, I recognize now some codes...

Eh im new here and found this while searching info about ntsc patches :P

but i always hated pal conversions on my DC especially with cool games like garou, kof and ikaruga..

Well im happy to confirm that ikaruga and KOF2k work with this trick and the games are now full speed and full screen on my TV :)
I'm gonna try alien front (which i didn't burn for my self yet, so nothing to lose) now.

I will do Fatal fury MOTW usa as soon as i get that game back since some guy borrowed it last week... Anyway thanks for this trick, its not even hard to do.. in fact its easy but it takes about 10 mins per game to open the img and save the changes. Its worth it anyway.

Now its time to enjoy some Kof :)

Megalexxx. I forgot that you already had a patch, so you could compare. I guess it is easy:)

I don't suppose you have any other ideas on how to get new 60Hz codes if you don't have a patched one to compare against, or trying other compared .bin codes from other games?


edit;
---------------------------
FYI, someone(not me) at Isonews posted a link for the Ikaruga 60Hz patch for anyone who still wants it.

Just though I'd let yah know.

108dragon : the Megalex on isonews is ... ME ! :)

I've found some codes by myself, but it's not for frequency, only to have some games work on PAL DC. That's the reason why I made PAL patcher. I added the 50/60 Hz function because it was "easy".

But now, I need help to find more.
If you know stuff, you're welcome ! :)

I fixed Fatal fury motw(us) echelon to NTSC with the 0B 42 09 00 01 1F 30 E0 hexa and it rox i think it runs better than the hooligans jap release.. less straming.

And i fixed Alien front online using the 00 E4 03 A0 00 E4 01 A0 00 hexa.. which runs fine now too on a pal DC.

But i want to fix Tennis2k2 next.. any1 knows the string for that game?

I don't know the String, but here's a link to the patch.

thanks but I donno how to patch such things... yet ;) i also had an hydro thunder ppf.. but the readme only says:


Tutorial:

applyppf DrC-HTp.CDi DRC-HT60.ppf
Note: if the program says that the image size doesnt
match with the original image size, ignore it, and continue.

But i used the same string as for alien front and it worked. yay!

Hi roBx^

This one works for Tennis 2K2
I've tried & tested it

Change = 01 E4 03 A0 02 E4 01 A0 03

To = 00 E4 03 A0 00 E4 01 A0 00

Hope it sorts you out.

hehe i just did that 3 milisecs before :)

Hi Megalexxx,

I was wondering, can you explain what exactly i have to do with this?
I'm using HexEdit, but I can't make out what to do;
I'm using HexEdit, but I can't make out how I can do this.

I am trying because the other code failed me a few times, I burned it using Daemon3.16 and DJ3.5 (copy cd to cd), but that gives me a weird read error, then I tried CloneCD, which completed, but that finished copy skips to the menu at the Sega logo over and over.

Thnx ahead _gian

Are all the CDI's PAL versions? Or are some 60HZ types?

Oh yeah.. Send it to me please..... Thanks MUCHO!

GL : you don't need the 2nd code. 1st code is enough.
Download the patch with 108Dragon's link, then burn Ikaruga with DiscJuggler, last version.

thnx,

I figured it out, the problem was my DJv3.5,
so I used cdi2nero and Nero and that worked too.
