Hacking ROM Hack DRAGON BALL Z: KAKAROT

Can there be a 60 fps patch or a handheld boost in resolution to 720p or a graphics patch? This game needs either of the three, I am surprised how much I enjoy it.

I wonder this too, though reverse NX with the docked flag. Def helps straighten out some edges and maybe some more.
There is a 60 fps cheat in the 60 fps discord/thread. but it's only jap version.

Would really appreciate an input from Masagrator.

Indeed reverse Nx does sharpen things a bit but I need my switch to be charged while playing and it kind of defies the purpose of gaming on a handheld.

a 60fps patch will have the same effect

How so? What do you mean? docked is 60 fps you mean? 60 fps doesn't change anything to the aliasing and texture sharpness etc.

you clearly haven't used any 60fps mods and don't understand they use much more power than 30fps which is the reason most switch games even run at 30fps. a 60fps patch will still require handheld mode to be at least set to docked speeds if not higher depending on the game

Oh wait I totally read that different. I understand what you mean. It was about regarding power consumption.

 

[vanraz86]

Actually no, there are graphics hacks which do not require overclocking the console to Dock levels, hence no need to have it charged while playing.

What is more important, even more than 60pfs hack, to sharpen a bit the graphics in handheld.

So please, if anyone can help, let us know. Much appreciated!

you are not going to be playing this game at 60 fps in handheld speeds unless you like horrible frame drops. same for graphic mods. if you think otherwise then you clearly don't mod games much

Graphics mods for oc speed though should be possible.

docked mode only slightly improves the graphics and already kicks the gpu requirement to 768 but yes there is room for graphic improvements just not at handheld speeds

It's all a trade-off. Do you want better graphics, higher resolutions and faster framerates? Well, the main trade-off here is battery life. All these changes you want to make require more power. This also means more heat is produced, which might lead to damaged internal components if it gets hot enough. You can't eat your cake and have it too.

I gave up, reversenx and playing with charger...

idk why you didn't think the charger would have been the case for the mods regardless. thats basically something you have to accept when using graphic mods and 60 FPS patches

Edit - will share again if fixed to work 100% of the time

und 500p as I recall. Overclo

Made a quick 60fps mod. Not tested for more than 5 minutes and I'm not going to play this game through at the moment, so won't be doing anything else with it.

60fps is unlocked and resolution is dropped by 20% in both docked and portable. That's 900p reduced to 720p in docked, I forget the exact portable value but it's reduced to around 500p as I recall. Overclocking is advised to get the best out of it obviously.

thank you very much for this!
Is it possible to have a hack to display 720p portable with a slight gpu increase, without needing to have reverseNX? Normal fps, of course

do you even realize what you just asked? reversenx doesn't suddenly make it require dock clock speeds. what reversenx does with that patch is the exact same as what you were wanting from the start

so while it works in general a big issue is it only works until you enter a story cutscene because they are still locked to 30FPS and will keep the game locked into 30FPS until you restart the game again.

Thank you. Is it impossible to replace the story video with a high-definition file for PC or ps4 when the video quality is too low?

What's the point of replacing it with a hi-def version when you're already dropping the resolution to get everything to run at 60fps? Best case, you end up with something analogous to Final Fantasy VII, where the cutscenes are beautiful and compared to them, the in-game character models look like they were made with Play-Doh and a machete (for different reasons, of course). Worst case, the hi-def video gets downscaled just like everything else and it makes no difference that you swapped the video for a higher definition one to begin with. Plus, this is Dragon Ball we're talking about. It's not like it's super detail-rich and will actually benefit from a higher resolution.
