Game Modification: 60 FPS Hacks and Patches

[biolizard89]

If anyone's interested, I was able to create the framerate hack for Starfox Assault (USA version).  Runs pretty nicely, although a few subtle glitches are introduced.

AR codes:

Cool stuff! We really need to get these archived somewhere.

[StripTheSoul]

Nice! Games like that really need 60 FPS

[Aleron Ives]

How about putting them on the wiki page for each game?

Or directly within the game ini

That's what I wanted to say but it seemed so obvious I was sure it would be stupid and people would laugh at me... just like that one day in high school. Every day, actually *sigh*

Great work biolizard89!

I would love to see the following 30fps games transformed into smooth 60fps monsters
- Luigi's Mansion
- Waverace Blue Storm
- Sonic Colors

All these games would GREATLY benefit from the bump in framerate!

[StripTheSoul]

Aw man, you say it. Sonic Colors just feels like a broken game at 30 FPS...

[Jodeth]

Meh. My AMD Phenom II can't handle SMS at 60fps... even on the lowest res. Looks like I'll be sticking with 30 until I go Intel. Fortunately that'll be within a couple months. F yeah! Well at least the game ran at 60 on the airstrip... just nowhere else; enough to f***ing tease me! xD

Not exactly related to Dolphin, but the PC version of Sonic Generations has been hacked extensively to support mods. Some people are working on porting Colors stages to it (I think a level pack for Tropical Resort has been released). I mention this because Sonic Generations PC version supports 60fps, so you can keep an eye out for the Colors level porting projects in case a 60fps hack for the Wii version doesn't end up happening.

Love these 60fps hacks. There are even some of N64 games for use with Project64, someone hacked Banjo Kazooie and Tooie to run at 60fps (though I ran into some glitches with Tooie hanging during certain cutscenes). And of course PPSSPP and PCSX2 has some as well (particularly the Kingdom Hearts games). Was fantastic playing Sunshine at such a smooth framerate, it's a bit jarring going back to 30fps Sunshine after getting used to Galaxy's buttery smooth framerate. The Zelda games and Xenoblade would be glorious at 60fps, though i'm not sure I look forward to the PC i'd need to play them at that framerate (and i've got a 4670k).
