Quote from: kybard on September 23, 2022, 12:15:23 pmHey everyone. This is my first post, but I've long been a fan of the work done at these forums; FFT's among my favorite all-time games and I love having new ways to play it. It seems like most modding action happens on the PSX version of the game, which makes sense, but the PSX version's main downfall for modern gameplay is the lack of non-stretched widescreen support. If I recall correctly there's a patch for WotL to make the 16:9 look better than it did originally (alongside the slowdown fix).
Anyways, I was hunting around for patches and found out that just a few weeks ago, someone seems to have discovered a widescreen patch for the PSX version. You can find the original post here.
This guy has a (Russian) webpage where he has some of his codes assembled into patches -- which means he also has a Final Fantasy Tactics PSX widescreen patch! (You'll need some kind of translation in place if you don't speak Russian, but the patch is the fourth download link listed and is for the US version.) Buuuut the patch is called "Nose Version", because... the guy also wanted to add noses to every single avatar in the game.
I love the widescreen, but hate the noses -- so after first asking for help, I've instead taken some time to build a PPF that just applies the widescreen codes, but maintains the original profile images. This in combination with any of your favorite PSX mods should create a really nice version of the game to play on modern screens, on your handheld emulation device, etc etc etc!
PPF attached; let me know if you run into any issues. This is my first time trying to do something like this, so it's entirely possible something's wonky here or there, and plus I'm just building off the shoulders of someone else's great work.
Is there any way to merge this with The Lion War of the Lions?
