The current widescreen patch, while functional, has the HUD and the radar unaffected. I include pnach files for 1.03 and 3.00 that make the widescreen appear more like ThirteenAG's widescreen mod on PC, thus fixing the HUD and radar. It also has the added benefit of not glitching the emergency vehicles. I also include a Silentpatch lite that adds cosmetic and QOL enhancements, similar to the PC version, while leaving game mechanics otherwise untouched, so it wouldn't trigger RetroAchievements' anticheat system.

(For best results, turn the ingame widescreen option on, but that does not affect the radar/HUD whether on or off)

Hi mate, I've noticed a bug that is inherited from the nemesis code that this patch incorporates. When you go too fast, errors still appear on the sides, although they are less noticeable, they still persist. Regardless of the camera we choose.

Two questions, is this on both of the versions I've supplied patches to? And if so, since i know you had yours patched for that issue, i was wondering... this one and yours had the emergency vehicles patched, but while yours doesnt have the stuff on the sides, this one has a perfect HUD/RADAR... what if we could incorporate all of it?

Presently, the 3 main games have a bad HUD/RADAR, but games like VCS amd LCS actually look great with the patches they have supplied.

Yes, it's in both versions because it takes the same current patch as a base with some fixes and then added the 2D elements of the HUD. I haven't taken any of that, I've created it from scratch and there are no such errors. The only thing I'm doing is testing it thoroughly with several saves that I have on memory cards from that time. So far it seems to be working fine.
I'm sharing the port of the PAL versions so you can check that it's bug-free.
You can replace the old code with this one when you check it
