God Of War Widescreen Patch Pcsx2 Link

The PS2 version of God of War renders the game in a 4:3 aspect ratio by default. Simply forcing your emulator to "Widescreen" usually results in a stretched image (Kratos looks short and fat).

To get a proper 16:9 image without distortion, you have two primary methods. Method 1 is highly recommended as it is the easiest and most stable.

Patch Code:

//16:9 Widescreen
patch=1,EE,001a5df8,word,3c0243c0
patch=1,EE,001a5dfc,word,44820000
patch=1,EE,001a5e04,word,461e0003
patch=1,EE,001a5e24,word,3c040000
patch=1,EE,001a5e28,word,3c0335a2
patch=1,EE,001a5e2c,word,8c630000
patch=1,EE,001a5e38,word,00000000

If the automatic patch fails (which happens sometimes with European PAL versions or poorly dumped ISOs), you must download the .pnach files manually.

Step 1: Find your Game’s CRC

Step 2: Download or Create the Patch

Step 3: Write the Hex Codes Open the .pnach file in Notepad. For God of War, the raw code looks something like this (simplified):

//God of War Widescreen fix by nemesis2000
patch=1,EE,001A3D38,word,3C013F40 // Render fix
patch=1,EE,001C5A50,word,3C024400 // Aspect ratio

Note: Do not copy the above; those are placeholders. You need the exact codes from the forum archive.

Step 4: Place the File

  • Paste the code from above into that text file.
  • Save the file as "All Files" (not .txt) to ensure it is .pnach.
  • Enable Cheats in PCSX2:
  • Boot the game. Look at the log console. You should see: "Cheats found - Applying patch".

    • Once you have the widescreen patch installed, you should pair it with other PCSX2 enhancements to make God of War look better than your PS3 ever did.

    Recommended settings for 1440p/4K:

    Specific God of War Hack:

    Yes, you can convert these to 21:9, but expect UI elements (health bars, QTE circles) to drift to the edges. For 21:9, you replace the 3c0243c0 line with 3c0244c0 (Ultrawide value). Use at your own risk for QTEs.
