Changes:

  • Ported the Sly Trilogy No-Interlacing patches from NTSC-U to PAL (As PAL were only including part of the patches, now they are complete).
  • Unified everything, including authors and descriptions to tidy up.

All of the patches have been tested for all versions of the games.

The patches in this PR as well as the patches for PAL 1.0 (FDA1CBF6) are wrong. The No-Interlacing patch has the address of the No Motion Blur patch. Attached is fixed versions of both.

sly2.zip

The NTSC release also has similar issues. Every single Sly 1/2/3 build needs to be re-checked, they very likely all have the No Motion Blur and No Interlacing entries confused as one patch!

I updated the Pull-request to include not only Sly 2, but the whole trilogy. Should be complete and ready now.

Almost got it. The addresses are correct, but two patches should be separate so you can enable them individually:

Capture

Japan and Korea are also not here, here's the region codes for those:

Sly 1 Japan (SCPS-15036)
Sly 1 Korea (SCKA-20004)
Sly 2 Japan (SCPS-15090)
Sly 2 Korea (SCKA-20044)
Sly 3 Korea (SCKA-20063)

There's also alternate serials for the above due to every country having their own version of Greatest Hits which also need to be taken into account, the addresses being the same. In addition, there's a LOT of demos which almost certainly had these two patches made for them. They're in the game index, and way too many to list here.

I don't see the point of separating the patches as they both aim to make the rendered image as clear as possible and this way it's more user-friendly since they would just need to have the global No-Interlacing option enabled (an idea that was clearly thought out before as we can see by how the patches were added).
As for the versions included, I made sure all the NTSC-U and PAL versions, including the revision of Sly 2 PAL (Not all Greatest Hits/Platinum releases use a different build of the game), are working. If you want to cover the demos and asian releases please feel free to port these patches.

I'm 99.99% sure that the Japanese and Korean versions had their codes in the database already, but here they are anyways:

I have a bunch more for the standalone demos. These are individual-demo discs so patches will work for them. Two of them don't have No Motion Blur patches yet. I also firmly believe that these should be able to be enabled separately, as I've seen some people claim that Adaptive Deinterlacing works for them, and I want to let them use that while also being able to disable motion blur.

I added the Korean and Japanese releases, which I assume you tested.
If you want me to add the demos then please edit your message to include the proper naming of each one (SERIAL_CRC) and let me know.
As for whether we keep Interlacing and Motion Blur together or separate, I'd like to hear another opinion to act as a tie-breaker.

@SlyCooperReloadCoded

Yeah, the no motion blur patches I posted were also made by Meos like the others, and for the no-interlacing patches we didn't have, I remade them, because Sly 1 and 2 use 0x64420008 and Sly 3 uses 0x24420008. I've also updated all the demo patches in my comment with the serials and CRCs.

Okay, demo patches added too, now the trilogy is 100% complete and ready to go.
