Requesting updates to Skyward Sword in Wiki

Since depth of field the projection hack is not supported anymore, it should be removed from the wiki and replaced with this Gecko code from here:

Code:

[Gecko]

$Art Style Intensity Modifier [Anarion]

0257A350 00003F83

*This code removes the painterly Depth of Field effect

I have been playing with it a few days and it works better than the projection hack because it does not interfere with first person weapon aiming.

Sounds reasonable to me.

I could add it to the wiki, but does it work with all versions of the game or only a certain version?

Hmm, I can only confirm that it works with the NTSC version, and it does so beautifully. I don't have other versions to test, unfortunately. It could be added as a code for the NTSC version and, if it is confirmed for other regions, the Wiki can be updated to reflect that.
I think we can all agree that at least the projection hack should be removed, as that is no longer a supported feature.

By "the NTSC version", I assume you mean NTSC-U with some certain revision? There are at least five NTSC versions of this game in total, possibly six.

While I do have a PAL copy of this game, I don't have a Wii Remote here so I can't test it right now.

That is not a known good MD5, and you didn't include the revision field, so I'm not sure what revision it is. But I guess I can just put the code on the wiki anyway in the meantime, because I don't like having the projection hack there.

Hello everyone !

I can't edit the wiki page, so i thought i'd post this here (I hope i'm not aginst the rules lol).

The Gecko code to remove the DOF effect doesn't work for a PAL version. If someone could edit the wiki to mention it, please !

Have a nice day !

Done.

It passes the internal checksum verification in both, Dolphin and Wii Backup Manager. That is not a whole ISO checksum but a checksum of the internal game contents.
When you say it is not a good MD5, are you comparing that to an ISO MD5 checksum from one of the databases on the web?
