Really? That's never happened me before!

I'll try do it again and get it on record but I bet it won't happen again now

I'm kinda curious to see that, that's never happened to me either!

I did it properly on Xbox and got it on video. Feck you Knaaren

Nice! I have to try it myself sometime on PS2.

Just make sure to go right of him like that to have more change of making it. Sometimes you're literally over him but the games physics will still knock you back even though you're past him. He's probably just got weird programming since you're not expected to pass him or maybe that was their attempt to try stop people passing him. It didn't work though

If you try copy the timing in the video you'll make it on PS2

It didn't work on GC for me, it will probably work in other systems, so I'll try them out later on.
Strange how physics work in different versions of this game though.

Yeah it's kind of strange. It's to do with the actual hardware running the game I think that makes it different. Was it the NTSC version of the GC yeah?

Yup. I actually tested the PAL version on the jump in the FC part 2 also but that didn't work either. Hmmm....maybe the angle was off? Maybe I should change Dolphin's region, but I don't think that would work either, if it could be done.

I can test it on my real GC but I don't have an NTSC save for Dolphin and it's so much effort to clear 4 levels just to test one thing

True, unless you know how to SJ through entire levels quickly

Or a PAL save would work

Yes that might work too

I'll find a save file online or something. It's only to try that one thing anyway

Alright, whichever works for you

I can't start right now on the third save file or the PS2 version. I didn't realize one of my videos had been deleted. I have to do that part all over again....sigh

So after fixing the widescreen issue on Xbox after I found out how to make the game widescreen I noticed something interesting. The GameCube has the exact same issue I faced on Xbox where the sides don't render properly in widescreen.

Video from actual GameCube console: Why is this? Well it's very simple actually, the PS2 isn't actually true 16:9 and there's less visible on screen than the other versions.

PS2: GC: Notice how you can see a lot more on both edges of the screen on GameCube? This is with a capture card and no overscan hence the black borders so you can literally see everything that is being rendered.

I find that interesting now actually, I wonder if the PS2 developers noticed the issue and that was their "quick" fix for it.

EDIT: I had the same picture twice accidentally, fixed it

Wow, the GC version actually shows raindrops on the "camera"? Nice touch!
This is interesting. If this is actually the case in all versions, then I wonder if your hex edit just disables culling altogether, rather than widening the angle beyond which it occurs…

I'm thinking it widens the angle because it's the same value as the screen port width, but I guess I can do some testing with it just set higher than 00 but lower than 1C then we'll know if it still happens but further out

EDIT: The rain on the camera is cool though

Yeah, it looks pretty cool, though it's still not as cool as the blur effect in my opinion.

OK so I done a test and the cutting does widen as I change the code, however by the time it hits 12 (which is 10 less than 1C in hex) It's already happening outside the screen so maybe setting this to 12 will be less strenuous on the Xbox

The HMF blur looks cool on PS2 though yeah
