Zelda Twilight Princess v2 Hyrule Field Patch

[TheWearyGamer]

I was having some trouble with slowdown on Twilight Princess's Hyrule Field (Issue 7825). The usual patch led to a bunch of write access errors with the v2 rom at launch (being for v1) but I think I found the codepoints for v2. Please tell me if it works on your end as well.

Code:

$Hyrule Field Speed Hack for v2
0x80040C38:dword:0x60000000
0x80040C54:dword:0x60000000

0x80040C88:dword:0x60000000

0x80040D30:dword:0x60000000

It seems to work here but i think it handles less addresses than the other similar hacks? For example the v1 hack is:

0x80040DE8:dword:0x60000000
0x80040E04:dword:0x60000000

Initially they were like yours but they were further optimized like above. See the conversation here:

You're right. I was only looking at the initial post of that issue, and missed some of the later replies. The updated code would be below, but I haven't tested beyond starting the game yet. On a related note, both this and the final version of the original patch are (no surprise) pretty hacky.

It seems to be working fine from a bit of testing and does what it says, that is good enough i think compared to something that doesn't work at all. I will include it in my gameini pr, thanks TheWearyGamer.

I'm slightly confused. Which code is for NTSC 1.0?

Use vs1 and if it doesn't work for you vs2.

Let's put it this way:

I'm pretty sure that's wrong. Twilight Hack was compatible with v2 of Twilight Princess, so v2 of Twilight Princess must've existed back in 2008 when Twilight Hack was released. Nintendo Selects wasn't introduced until 2011.

Well I thought the older releases (v1.0) used the vs1 patch while the newer releases like the Nintendo Selects use the vs2 patch.
I bought my versions both GameCube and Wii at launch, so I must have 1.0 and I'm using the vs1 patch.

what does this hack anyway? and why does it even slow down?

is there a new patch for the PAL version?
