Dragon Ball Z Budokai 3 widescreen patch disengages when choosing battle again or continue

[BParks21]

Most easily reproducible when going into dual mode, but can also be triggered in dragon universe mode or possibly other ways. Basically the widescreen hack works fine initially but when you lose a battle and hit continue or battle again the widescreen patch disengages and everything becomes stretched. Characters look like Big Chungus Going back to the main menu or character select screen re activates the patch.

We don't create the patches, you will need to ask whoever original made the patch to fix it.

If you consider this gamebreaking we can disable the patch, otherwise there's not much we can do here.

Who made it?

no idea, probably somebody on the forum, I would start there anyways https://forums.pcsx2.net/Thread-PCSX2-Widescreen-Game-Patches

Idk I'll try to figure out who made it. I would just disable it for now tbh. Doesn't work right.

@ke5koB Will this patch be included in a future pcsx2 update with the new patches format?

[ke5koB]

If you check it out and confirm that it works, then probably the PCSX2 devs will add it in future updates

Seems to work fine now.
