WipEout® 2048 [PCSF00007] - Vita3K v0.1.9 3523-2d65c332

[@SavingPrivateBob]

Thank you for being literally the only video of this version running well by the way, otherwise I'd probably never know. I tested it a year ago and thought it was a lost cause

[@kujiko88]

Just got through playing for a couple hours testing this out and man, turns out this game is very graphically impressive when it's not on a 5 inch screen. Sadly my laptop can't quite keep up all the time, but I did set a new zone record on Empire Climb of 111 lol. Thanks for sharing this so I can experience the best version of 2048 possible!

[@AuntieAliasing]

It's cool that the entire Wipeout series is playable on PC now. Isn't the Omega Collection version of 2048 just a weird version of 2048 recreated in HD's engine or something?

[@RidgeRacer]

No idea if the Omega Collection switched 2048's engine, but it would make sense seeing as they (apparently) had to make new engine sounds for the 2048 ships, based on real-time synthesis. Who knows though, with such a clean port of HD Fury to 2048 on the Vita, maybe 2048 was originally just on an enhanced Pulse/HD Fury engine

[@coffeebean_tamer]

It's all 3 games Wipeout HD/Fury and Wipeout 2048 remastered in 4k at 60 FPS

[@gameqrfs17]

It works perfectly on wipeout2048 in Japan region! The only problem is that there is a glitch in the DLC play... Crashes on zone courses in HD and blacks out on all courses in FURY...

[@RidgeRacer]

Oh, that's interesting, I actually didn't think to try HD or Fury add-on packs yet. Thank you for the update!

[@Jeroen_Willems]

This is awesome! Mine runs around 15-40fps with the patch on PCSF00015 and 2x resolution. What Vita3k settings would you recommend to make WipeOut run as fast as possible? I've already noticed that Vulkan is many times faster than OpenGL.

[@RidgeRacer]

Yep, just keep it on Vulkan! As for the best settings I'm really not too sure, I just left mine largely at default and was happy with a clean 60 FPS output. Poke around in the settings and see if any of the tooltips mention anything about performance, and play around with them. This is at 4k resolution, that's gonna be the biggest hurdle I'm fairly sure, so just play at 1080p or maybe even native Vita resolution if you want to push 60FPS, or maybe even as many frames as you can. What kind of system configuration are you running it on?

[@RoundTheClockGamer]

Where can i install the .pkg rom and .bin?

[@Kencho27]

so im not the only one who didnt like the Omega soundtrack haha. everyone was praising it in the reviews back then, thought i was crazy for a bit, it really is a downgrade from 2048.

[@RidgeRacer]

That, and the new engine sounds. Absolute rubbish =)

[@kujiko88]

@@RidgeRacer Yeah they went back to the Wipeout HD sounds and it really made the 2048 mode feel less unique as a result. Thanks for this, I can't wait to give this a go.

[@CasepbX]

I thought Omega had some awesome tracks. Great engine sounds too.

[@Kencho27]

@@CasepbX well, not all the tracks are bad, youre right, i just dislike the majority. emika - double edge, soundprank - obsidian and dc breaks - breathe are the only really good ones imo.

[@RidgeRacer]

@@CasepbX @Kencho27 The engine sounds aren't bad in and of themselves, I'll clarify. They're the WipEout HD sounds (if memory serves), which kind of took away a lot from the original 2048 experience, a prequel to the very first WipEout game. The inauguration of anti-gravity racing, using the very earliest in combat-racing capable crafts. The distorted roars of the engines in 2048 resembling current day V6 DOHC engines are truly phenomenal, and I'm quite sad that they were replaced with something much more tame and synthetic =) 2048 also features an automatic gear-shift effect that emits a loud, satisfying clunk, along with a subtle screen-shake. I think they might've removed this in Omega Collection too but I'm not certain, it's been a while since I played it, but in any case that as well complemented the more simple nature of 2048's pre-F3600 race crafts.

[@bluesrike]

I noticed the weapon call-outs change voices. Does that happen even when playing it on an actual Vita?

[@RidgeRacer]

Yes, it's a common bug when picking up weapons & tools in very quick succession.

[@TMengozzi]

How do you apply the 60PS patch, btw ?

[@RidgeRacer]

I used a hex editor to manually replace the values in eboot.bin, laid out here: github.com/Scirvir/game-patches/blob/main/other/WipEout2048.md

[@The-Filter]

@@RidgeRacer Oh man, please can you help me how to find the values in the eboot.bin file? I tried to read the github listing, but I can't find any of the offset numbers and then where, or what to change? Y-Y I downloaded HxD editor to be able to edit in hex, but I can't find the proper offset values in the editor/eboot.bin and don't even know where/what to change. :/ would you create a small video on how to achieve that? >-

[@xl4712]

I get like 15 fps what settings do you have?

[@RidgeRacer]

This is at 4k rendering resolution with all the other defaults, except I patched the game to reach 60fps. You may need to adjust to your computers specifications.

[@YomiDee]

What resolution?

[@RidgeRacer]

I believe for this video, I was playing at 4k internal resolution, downsampled to 1080p (my monitor).

[@SavingPrivateBob]

Hi, man. Do you have Discord? I'm having trouble patching this, I literally cannot map the memory at all. Let me know your username if you're able to help out :)

[@RidgeRacer]

Pardon the late response, KZbin has seen fit to not notify me of anything related to this video. I do not use Discord. However, seems like you got it working =) Great!

[@SavingPrivateBob]

@@RidgeRacer Yes, got to rank 50 already haha Can't get enough of Wipeout

[@RidgeRacer]

@@SavingPrivateBobHonestly, who could? =) Not me for certain.
