x720p Posted October 1, 2018 Report Share Posted October 1, 2018 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. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viggen66 Posted February 4, 2019 Report Share Posted February 4, 2019 On your videos is only a 128 upgraded xbox or also a upgraded cpu? Is it worthwhile the ram upgrade? Do games run much slower? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

golimar Posted August 18, 2019 Report Share Posted August 18, 2019 (edited) I've heard of people modding their system to play games like Virtua Cop 3 but for playing games at 720p? First time I'm hearing of this. Wow. Edited August 18, 2019 by golimar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
puntja Posted September 24, 2019 Report Share Posted September 24, 2019 Those screenshots look really nice! Unfortunately I don't have a 1ghz 128mb ram xbox, so I stick with 480p and widescreen patches I found a couple of widescreen patches on ps2wide, but it's just a couple over there. do you guys have a suggestion where I can find more?

malarrya Posted January 6, 2020 Report Share Posted January 6, 2020 (edited) 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.

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 7 hours ago, David McKenna said: 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?
