Luigi's Mansion: Luigi's Mansion PAL 60hz Patch

PAL 50 is an infamous format if you live in Europe, and you were into games between the eighties and the mid two thousands.

This hack makes it so it asks the player if they want to change to "Progressive Mode" like other games with official PAL 60 support, changing the resolution from 576i to 480i; and making it run at the original speed it should work, instead of running around 16% slower (In this case, from 25fps to 30).

The most interesting part of the PAL version of Luigi's Mansion is the fact that the Hidden Mansion Mode is much more challenging and has more changes made to it compared to the NTSC-US version, making it the European release a more complete version.

Included are both IPS and xDelta patches, so you can choose.

Huge thanks and credits to Ralf@gc-forever for his original code.


REMEMBER TO ALWAYS MAKE A BACKUP BEFORE PATCHING, JUST IN CASE!

This patch is for the european version of Luigi's Mansion.

There are two patches :xDelta and IPS. You can use LunarIPS and
xDeltaPatcher to patch this ISO.

Once it finishes patching, the game won't run at PAL 50, and instead
it will be a PAL 60 by default.

If you use other dump or a shrunk iso, use IPS.

In case you want to hex edit it yourself:

Original New
Offset Values Values

22CA8 4C 82 00 20 -> 90 0D 00 F8

Notes:

Works on Nintendont, 480p Compatible
The game asks you if you want Progressive Mode.
It activates 480i, but if you force 480p on Nintendont,
when you choose Yes it will instead play at 480p
