Ok I've been trying to use the resolution hack of the japanese version with english assets (gbatemp net/threads/utawarerumono-mask-of-deception-full-540p-resolution-hack.481134/), in the english version.
I can't find in the eboot.bin of the english version the hex 2A0EA0E3061DA0E3, so no way to directly change that.
I've tried using for the previous hex values in the japanese eboot, that are directly before those, and searching for them in the english eboot. imgur com / GOiCLEy (japanese patched eboot)
While I can find them the values to the right are very different. imgur com / mK1PpAO (english eboot)
-The game is down res from 960x540 to 672x384, so converting 672 to hex gives 2A0, this coincidences whit the start of the hex you are supposed to replace in the japanese eboot. And of course searching for 2A0 give a ton of results.
-The original hack (puu(dot)sh/xbZja/18f03e21a9.png) required some pretty advanced knowledge, unless someone know how to do it, it can't be done again
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Also I successfully ported the res hack of Mask of Truth, that was easy as there was a text patch with offsets to change, I only had to find the difference in offsets of the to eboots (+2530 in this case).
What I'm going here is that the method for resolution change seems to be different:
#Basically, change first byte of opcode to any value from 0 to 64 to set desired resolution
#Set 3D Resolution to 25%
#0x81C52908: 4620A0E3, 1920A0E3
#Set 3D Resolution to 50%
#0x81C52908: 4620A0E3, 3220A0E3
#Set 3D Resolution to 75%
#0x81C52908: 4620A0E3, 4B20A0E3
#Set 3D Resolution to 100%
0x81C52908: 4620A0E3, 6420A0E3
Maybe this method can be used in Mask of Deception. It seems both games are at 70%(46hex) resolution. But searching for 46 in hex gives again, a ton of results.
