ROM Hack RELEASE Crash Team Racing 720p Handheld Patch

[masagrator]

Support is dropped! Use ReverseNX instead.

This patch changes resolution in handheld mode from 854x480 to 1280x720.
Just put "exefs_patches" to main folder of your CFW & restart console.
OC is recommended.

If you want to change resolution to different values, go to this site
https://gregstoll.com/~gregstoll/floattohex/
Check "Swap endianness"
Write your dimension to "Float value:" and press "Convert to hex"

Delete "0x" from the beginning of "Hex value:" and with Hex editor replace your 4-byte value with correct dimension:

00 00 34 44 -> 720
00 00 A0 44 -> 1280

Save & replace file.

Four patches to download - for 1.0.2, 1.0.3, 1.0.4 and 1.0.5 version of game.

if I was using sx os would that folder go inside the sx os folder, or root directory of the sd card?

Wow, I will give it a shot. I'm assuming the only side effect of this would be holding a hotter console. Nice, Thanks!!

Any impact in performance?

Any impact in performance?

From what I checked, if you are not using OC, the first track is 24-30 FPS. It's playable, but not a smooth experience.
If game is not utilizing 460 MHz GPU, then OCing it to 460Mhz should be enough.

Is it possible a 900p patch for docked mode?

 

[masagrator]

Is it possible a 900p patch for docked mode?

It's possible to set. I don't know if it will work because 720p has some more values in different instructions, so maybe it's blocked to send image in this resolution.

Sorry. I was thinking this is Trilogy topic.
So code is not from this game. But issue stays the same.
This instructions are responsible for ingame resolution (this is from 1.0.3)

Can you try 540p? 720p still have some drops on 460 OC and i dont want to overclock more , tried to modify but the game glitches

 

[masagrator]

Just change

00 00 A0 44

to

00007044

And

00 00 34 44

to

00000744

I had 854x720 in first try and it was working, so You're doing something wrong, I think.

Can someone link me to guide on how to OC, while playing games. I can thought you could only OC, when using Emulators.
