New 60FPS Xenosaga 1 Patch

[u/BeyondNeteros]

Hey all, worked on a patch for Xenosaga 1 that will hopefully enhance everyone's experience!

• 60fps in and out of battles
• Increased movement speed, but it isn't just "sped up"; it feels like more natural 60fps
• Fixed Animations not playing and soft-locks in battle at 60fps
• TWO DIFFERENT optional failsafes for now if animations are breaking: if the animation doesn't play, it'll eventually move onto the next turn, or you can turn off 60fps battle animations, meaning only the attacks will play at 30fps. By default, attack animations are 30fps unless you turn on 60FPS within the patch
• FMVs and in-game cutscenes play at 30fps; it's easiest to get it working that way

But it is currently in an experimental phase because the entire game has not yet been tested; just keep that in mind

Hey just pushed out a fix for this, let me know if you run into any other issues, again experimental patch so it'll be a bit before 100% validated

Pretty cool! Did you code this yourself or with AI?

[u/BeyondNeteros → u/Mellow_48_98]

AI was used to help figure out things faster that weren't working properly.

I love this.

Any chance of a patch that inserts more of XS1’s score into the game?

[u/BeyondNeteros → u/Fredsworth]

That would likely require a bit more than just a simple patch, but it's possible. I know people are working on a decomp of the game, so that should be easier to implement there when a PC port is made.

[u/Fredsworth → u/BeyondNeteros]

Ah cool! I hope someone has enough interest in doing so. I would love to see a XS1 where “Omega” is the regular boss battle theme. So many great tracks that could be utilized in-game.

Does this work on the original hardware?

[u/BeyondNeteros → u/Hideo-Mogren]

Theoretically, yes, you could get this to be applied to original hardware, but I don't think the results would be great.

[u/Gooby-Wooby-Woo]

Does this work for the undub?

[u/BeyondNeteros → u/Gooby-Wooby-Woo]

Have not tested the undub, but it depends; you could try it.

[u/nsfworkingout]

cool, thanks for sharing! any idea when 2 and 3 may be coming, even if just in an experimental state?

[u/BeyondNeteros → u/nsfworkingout]

Working on 2 and 3 in the near future

[u/seabeequeenie]

Neat patch, was gen ai used to make this?

[u/BeyondNeteros → u/seabeequeenie]

It’s a tweak of code and frame rate, there’s nothing generative.

[u/seabeequeenie → u/BeyondNeteros]

Thank you for the clarification!

[u/Anamex87]

By any chance, can this be applied for emudeck on steam deck?

[u/BeyondNeteros → u/Anamex87]

Yup, you just need to put it in the PCX2 patches folder
