Forgive my vulgarity, but why in the actual fuck would you want the stretch patch if you're using PPSSPP? It's designed to restore pixel aspect (which is dead wrong for viewing purposes) and I doubt your monitor is PSP resolution to get the actual benefit out of it. All you'd do is make the image squished and not take up the full screen.

Lol, come on man. Calm down. I don't like the image being stretched from the original PSX aspect/pixel ratio. I don't think it looks good at all. Every character sprite looks a little shorter and fatter especially when playing on a big monitor. Using PPSSPP, which I'm VERY familiar with, I can get a 1/2 - 1/4 pixel ratio (which is PERFECT) IF I can get it back to it's original proportions.

I'll give you an example. When playing FFT on ePSXe I set up the emulator so that it EXACTLY doubles the pixel ratio. So, for every original pixel in the game I get 4 on the screen, which leave the proportions perfectly where they should be and looks great. In other words, I'm exactly doubling the resolution. I tell it to NOT go full screen, so I do deal with small black bars at the top and bottom of the image but it's a small price to pay for having perfect pixel ratio. I want to do the same thing with the PSP version since I feel it's superior to the PSX version.

I hope I made this clear enough. It's a lot easier to see what I'm talking about when looking at comparison images.

The topic predates PPSSPP considerably, so, ISO. Though it may be easier to just look for the bytes to change and edit it with a hex editor, since there are so many English versions of WotL that you are likely to pull out every hair on your head trying to get the ISO to patch properly. Unless you already have a Euro ISO, in which case, use Eternal's ppf.

So, can someone please help me with the process of manually fixing the stretching? I'm running PPSSPP so I can't use the livepatch. I've got an extracted ISO and a Hex editor. I'm guessing I need to change some of the values listed here http://ffhacktics.com/wiki/War_of_the_Lions in the EBOOT file? Can someone please tell me exactly which values I'll want to be changing and perhaps give an example of changing one of them with a HEX editor so I can do the rest on my own? I'm using version ULUS 10297 of the game if that helps. Thanks a lot!
