This is the lowest I got the game without crashing, Sorry for the delay :/
btw I didn't have any problems with my vita frying so idk what OP is on about, there was no HDR function in Unreal Engine 3 as far as I know.
And if your using a vitamin dumped version, or a pre 1.09 mai dump it may crash at the main menu although for 1.09 mai dumped version, it seems to work just as usual.
Expect anywhere from your regular 15fps-60fps, but usually somewhere inbetween with using oclock vita. In the future I'll post a full tutorial on (https://www.reddit.com/r/vitahacks/) but for now heres the download (https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B_xk-lpxZ-kxS1RiQkt4bUNPSm8)

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

For the resolution change, it seems to crash on any version when editing the coalesed_INT.bin resX, and ResY settings but there are ways to increase/decrease resolution from editing the eboot (I'd asume using a hex editor) as a dude from (https://www.reddit.com/r/vitahacks/comments/637np7/problematic_psp_game_fixes_force_unleashed/) said he was able to edit these. Idk how he did it, might look into it later.
When is your tut coming?

Halving the resolution to PSP levels, while blurry af, it becomes more playable than even before!

I'm tring fiddling with the graphic settings using XComTools but nothing seems to work (I edit the "coalesced_int.bin" but doesn't seem to work: Postprocess is the same, FXAA is not enabled). I'll keep trying.

EDIT: I made it work. Since my game is in Spanish, I need to edit "Coalesced_ESN.bin". I halved the resolution, removed postprocessing and tweaked some other things. Seems to run far better. Still drops under 30FPS but it's a way more consistent experience, at a quality cost.

EDIT: I MADE A TUTORIAL: CLICK HERE: https://gbatemp.net/threads/fixing-borderlands-2.480713

There are two config files in game. One is for game, second is for DLC. Turning off celshading on vita will do nothing. Turn on static shadows and change down resolution. This will fix your game ;-)
You can also turn on better lighting but do NOT turn on HDR! This fry my vita :-(

And again: Im not posting any screenshots because my Vita in cook, fry is broken!
Which option is hdr? I dont want to active it but i just want to find it in the ini. Which voice\line it is? Thanks

if i were to want the map and trophy fixes, textures to be set to medium, have static shadows enabled, cap the FPS at 30 and have the Resolution be 640x368 or 720x408, what would i need to search for and change in hex or .ini?

    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying
