720p Games Patches(Ips) Thread

Hello everyone, some may be familiar with the 720p patches thread on the Emuxtras website. I want to make a thread here as well so they won't be lost. Many patches have been made(by various contributors) with many (near) perfect conversions. Some games require a 128MB or even a CPU modded Xbox, like the ones made by N64 Freak. But many also run on the a standard 64MB Xbox.

IPS patches are really small (just a few KB's) and only contain the modified hex values and on what position in the binary they should be modified. You will need an application that can apply IPS patches if you want to use them. You can use Lunar IPS https://fusoya.eludevisibility.org/lips/ but there are also others.

Because the patches are only a few KB's this means it is also a good candidate to patch them directly on the Xbox in XBMC. This is also why I have named the patches after the game ID's and denoted the target Xbox (64MB, 128MB CPU) to facilitate this.

There is a project called python-ips( https://pypi.org/project/python-ips/) which runs on python version 2.7 (supported on XBMC) which seems to apply the patches correctly and can create backups. I might look into creating a XBMC python script that incorporates python-ips. But unfortunately I probably won't have too much time to do it and since I am unfamiliar with the XBMC specific syntax it will take a while.

However if someone wants to pick this up before me than that is fine. This also goes for other making additional patches. Some of the better games that seem to run amazingly were made by Silverrock see videos of Doom 3 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MZf3CqUc_hs)  and Darkwatch (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jhOPzUNW7Bo)

I will add the patches  here soon. You can check them out on Emuxtras if you want them now. here are some screenshots of some of the games.

Anyone know of a 720p or widescreen patch for Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind? I do see that you can play an original Xbox Morrowind disc on the Xbox ONE now. I tried it out and it looks really cool. Unfortunately, I can't transfer my saved game from my OG Xbox.

EDIT: Found it here - https://www.mediafire.com/folder/km5c9do7ti5pu/GREPO#n3dwid6cj2fqn

pretty damn sweet, how did you manage to solve the HUD problem? maybe same could be applied to other games which have same HUD trouble.

Usually it's just 3 byte location in the beggining of the list that change the game to works at 720p
All the others byte's location or doesn't do nothing or breaks the game
It's a matter of find the right byte location. It's not difficult at all but it's very time consuming

Thanks SilveRock for posting these as .xbe i can drop these in very easily..i haven't a clue how to add IPS files into the games already installed.Any more .xbe 720p files out there?


Yes I've more to share soon
Also I'm trying to fix the HUD for other ones as I did to Splinter Cell Chaos Theory

I managed to make Silent Hill 4 work at 720p changing the byte location = 9189/1570116 Plus window View
The framerate is pretty good but unfortunately de HUD is not resized and there's a lot graphical glitches out of the hud area
The byte 9751 also change it but with even more glitches

Anyway if someone wanna try it here it is. Only for 128mb Xbox (64mb doesn't work at all)
