TechieSaru's retro game enhancement patches

[TechieSaru]

This is an archive of the retro game enhancement patches that I have made. These vary from enhanced widescreen (2D / FMV Fixes ) to effect removals (Letterboxes, blur, etc.), and even 60fps patches.

NOTE: This archive contains PCSX2 patches that are currently not in the PCSX2 community archive. Do NOT request to have them added to the archive. They are being posted independently for a reason.

I will be adding a lot more patches in the future as I am currently in the process of dusting off and polishing a large number of my old patches.

If you find any issues with my patches or have any requests, feel free to contact me via discord.

How to even install the Shinobido patch to bypass hard clear for Kinu outfit? I added to the patch folder and enabled in PCXS2 but I can't get it to work. Are there instructions anywhere? Thank you!

You need to hold L2 + R2 for 3 seconds before starting a mission. You'll hear a sound effect confirming the change.

Thank you for the reply! I've read that was the trick on several forums, but holding L2+R2 for several seconds and pressing start for the mission does not work for me, unfortunately. Does it work on first play through?

IDK what the issue is... Should it be in the cheat, or patch folder?
