Midnight Club 3: Dub Edition Remix - 16:9 Widescreen HUD "Fix"

- Sorry, no fancy video today folks. I honestly couldn't be bothered.
Patch for the US version of MC3: Remix (Tick Enable Widescreen Patches in PCSX2 to fix 3D rendering):
drive.google.com/file/d/1QYbv...
To call this a fix would be quite disingenuous. It more-so is a workaround than it is an actual fix. MC3s HUD size is dependant on the game's internal resolution (as are the other R* San Diego AGE games, see MC2 PC).
Therefore, I simply instructed the game to run at a higher internal res (640x480 as opposed to 512x448). This meant the UI properly scaled to 16:9 now. There were a lot of upscaling bugs I had to go and manually fix though.
Do NOT use this patch on actual hardware, as it most likely will just break your game. PCSX2s software mode also becomes unuseable.
There still are issues - mainly, headlights are cut off near the right side of the screen. This bug also affected other post processing effects, but those I had managed to fix. Spent a lot of time looking into the headlights though and couldn't find anything worthwile. However, I personally got used to it pretty quickly. The text in the pause menu also is misaligned, but that probably can be solved without too much effort. Will update this if and when I do.
Lastly, on newer PCSX2 builds, whenever you go over 25 mph for the first time during a game session, the emulator might start using up a shitton of VRAM for a second. It doesn't occur on older non-Qt PCSX2 builds, so I really don't know what that's all about.
I wish there was a better way of going about this, but MC3s HUD code sucks, and fixing it manually might just be outside of my wheelhouse. I spent a grueling amount of hours looking into HUD scaling independant of internal res, all resulting in mere futility. I'd rather not waste any more time on this. So yeah, definitely use this at your own risk - but all things considered, I would rather have a nice looking UI than not.
On a sidenote, some more music removed from Midnight Club 3 has been discovered recently (alongside deleted music for a shitton of other titles, such as the NFS Underground games), and so, I will update the Soundtrack Restoration mod soon in order to reflect these new findings. (I also plan on revising some of the finish loops and censoring the explicit tracks to keep everything consistent).
So be on the look out for that, my dearest friends.
I'd be happy to listen to em heh.
Do you think you can also make a Tutorial on how to Add More Songs to the Game?
Or at least tell us what Programs and/or Tools you use for that?
I would love to be able to play with my Own Songs, but I could never do it, STREAMS.DAT and .rstm Files are a Real Headache and I hope you can tell us how you do it.
I would be infinitely grateful with you.
I'll love to see a growing modding community of this game, I wonder how it will be in few months/years. Excellent work buddy, keep going.
If it's possible to also make all the new added songs have the same volume as the old songs thatd be amazing!! some new songs have very low volume
@@dytak_gaming which ones? i went through the trouble of comparing audio gains to make volumes between new and old songs consistent and cant recall a song that sounded much quieter than the og songs
everytime you release one of these updates, i experience a wave of dopamaine. keep it up!
Mans making midnight club 3 remastered with all these fixes
bless you for making and releasing this 🙏
Amazing. First a proper burnout revenge patch, and now midnight club 3. It looks closer to how a native xbox copy of the game looked like in a widescreen tv thanks to the hud fix. Eager to replay the game with this fix!
Edit: Silly me, wrote paradise instead of revenge lmao
Amazing man, imagine if this game had a pc version it would be a mod colossus
I don't know how to thank you, is there any way I can donate to show my appreciation? Fuck, also can't wait for your new soundtrack restoration mod, you are doing god's work man. Love you. Here's hoping it comes soon!
0:14 The biggest crime is skipping Jimmy Eat World!
However, i aprove of the next song!
my introduction to the band!!
Yoooo sick video man, I really love the fact that this game is STILL holding strong years upon years later! You happen too have this patch for 60fps as well? or the patch codes for the HUD fix?
Even after you told me this couldn't work, I knew I was right to believe in you
It would be nice if it worked on the PS2 itself, a dream
Yeah, I do wish it worked on a real PS2 as well for the widescreen hud hack.
Finally, someone did this because this was biggest issue with the game. I just wish someone did some AI upscale on the HUD or something
i think it exists? i may be wrong
@@ninjaskillzytI don’t think a 4K AI Upscale for the HUD exists
@@MrIDGAF There exists a texture mod pack and the hud there is pretty neat tbh. If you want 4k upscale you could run the extracted textures through something like Topaz Gigapixel AI but I don't think PCSX2 would handle those higher quality textures well. Dunno though.
@@zekion. I know there’s a texture mod pack, but I didn’t know about the HUD. There isn’t a CZcams video about it
@@MrIDGAF There is now czcams.com/video/v4CVrCSwA4o/video.html
Absolutely incredible!
Impressive job 👍
Nice to see It! great job
hey that's pretty great
while it does make the ingame driving hud perfect, it does fuck with some menu ui elements like the car tuning menu ingame looking awful
still, this is cool as fuck and i gotta appreciate someone making a patch like this for mc3
Why didn't I discover your channel much earlier?!?! please deal more with mc3 !
Is there any way to make the minimap and spedometer more like a circle, like in the xbox version?
Thank you for this mod, and the soundtrack expansion as well! MC3 is my favorite racer of all time and it means the world to me that such a dedicated fanbase still exists to it.
About to be close to the vanilla Xbox version of MC3 DUB.
Hey man about the cut music restored video
Like how did you extract streams.dat file from the game and again repack it back??i tried quick bms and iripper but didnt budge😢
Thank you very much!
Awesome :)
Why have I never been able to find the song used in the intro comparison sequence here ?
Can you do tutorial for how to put the codes in your previous video that fix Blur please ?
Insane
Would it be possible to create a weather mod? Like for example you can choose which time and weather type the race will be?
definetly possible, but don't expect a fancy ui
need help with widescreen patch tried everything and nothing is working have it in cheats folder and enabled cheats but it isnt working
THE MADLAD DID IT
First I wanna thank you for your contribution, second i have a question
I’ve installed the fix but now my game is all misaligned, how can i fix this ?
Yes, I’ve read the description
you just place the pnach in your cheats folder and enable the widescreen patch option in the pcsx2 settings
A real ultra widescreen would be perfect for this game
Also, we could fix the engine sounds being bugged out when a car leaves the garage.
can i put the remove motion blur cheat too?
thanks
since you included the disable motion blur option here, should I remove the original patch from your last video? do you know if it interferes in any way?
i dont think it does, but the old patch is no longer necessary
Hey dude, how do you fix the hud? Is it it a memory edit/cheat or are you exporting the hud textures and adjusting them?
please read the description
does this persist in ps2 that uses OPL?
swag
Nice
what is that intro music
Did you ever release the Burnout 3 impact time sound mod? Haven't been able to find it.
he ghosted us
this is epic, but I don't remember there being an r33?
u can put r33 rear lights onto r34
Anyone have a hub fix for 21:9
Real cool mayne!, honestly I would like to see a full UI texture update. I would do it since I know how to build textures and all that (done it on my channel @stereotypicalnerdgamer, but it would take so much time by myself. That's why we need Rockstar to do a full on remaster of this game lol.
Edit: renamed my channel to The Eclipse
Hey I have a video downloaded called "GTA V PS3 Prototype Build" that seems to be from your channel. Do you still have the files that you showcased in that video / willing to send them? I archive stuff like this very actively, let me know!
He lost them
@@JonasTisell That's unfortunate. Oddly enough I can't find any mention of this build online anymore other than this guy's video which isn't even public anymore.
@@monstersponge9096 It was buried rather quickly before it could gain traction. You can search 2011/2012 GTA V build and theres a couple posts on forums and youtube talking about it
@@JonasTisell Thanks I'll look into this.
Can you do a tutorial on how to rip assets from MCLA and get noclip
THIS
amazing man, but pls show how i can do this
my game crashes after the intro credits pls help
If you going to make a video about the mod. Can you at least make a tutorial on how to do it?
Sorry for the question but where do i need to put this file?
the cheats folder in your PCSX2 directory
@@supertype1792 Thanks nice patch
Link?
Are you alive??
So this fixed the UI for me, but then made everything else W I D E
What setting would cause this? ATM I have to choose between stretched UI or stretched game and it's pretty scuffed
Edit: I'm an idiot and realised it needs to be added to the original. No harm done ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
please read the description
What do you mean ? My game is all misaligned now, what am i doing wrong ?
Supercar gt video pls
