Since a few people were interested, I’ve put up the source for modified GLIntercept plugin I used to implement arbitrary resolution support in Neptunia on Github.
It’s not particularly interesting IMHO, except perhaps as a lesson on how to quickly achieve a specific goal in a relatively big source base you never worked with before.
The source code for GeDoSaTo is now online at:
https://github.com/PeterTh/gedosato
It includes a (rather short) developer Readme. The code base is, in my opinion, in a much better state than DSfix and DPfix, though I wouldn’t call it “clean” still. But it shouldn’t be too hard to get into.
I hope everyone who has sent me technically detailed mails about potential improvements (and everyone else interested of course!) will contribute!
The best way of contributing is using the GitHub facilities. That is, fork the project, add your improvements, and gather and document them into a pull request. As I wrote in the readme, if you plan to add a major new feature, it would be very helpful if you could contact me before (e.g. by email with a suitable subject line) so that we can discuss the design and not duplicate any work.
Please use the comments for this blog post only to discuss development or issues with this source release!
The source code for DPfix is now up on github.
I always planned to do this, but I decided to do so earlier rather than later for a few reasons:
Now, when I released DSfix I was a bit disappointed by the lack of external contributions. There were a few brave souls, and I’m very grateful, but overall 95% of the code in DSfix is still written by me and untouched.
I think the problem was at least partly a lack of documentation and guidelines on my part, so I just spent over 2 hours writing up a developer README for DPfix. Have a look if you are thinking about contributing, or if you simply want to get a better idea about how Deadly Premonition works or how I create these interceptors.
I just put DSfix up on github.
It’s not nearly as cleaned up as I wanted it to be, but I thought it’s time to put it out there and see what people come up with. Have fun!
Please try to only use the comments on this blog post for development related questions!
Here’s the developer readme:

DSfix Developer Readme ====================== This file is intended for developers who want to improve DSfix or use it as a base for other modifications. All the source code is released under the conditions of the GPLv3, except for - SuperFastHash - SMAA which have their own licensing terms included. Note that the code base is currently in quite a terrible state. TODO.txt lists some of the things that should be done to improve it in the "Cleanup" section. Also note that I would prefer for no one except myself to make binary releases of DSfix for now, simply to keep things easier to track for people and reduce confusion. Additionally, if you start working on some feature, I'd appreciate if you contacted me, so that we don't duplicate effort. - Peter Requirements ============ - Visual C++ - The DirectX SDK - Microsoft Detours (Express) 3 - DSfix must be compiled in the Release/Win32 config to work with the game File Overview ============= - The "DATA" folder contains the files for distribution, including .inis, effects and textures - "TODO.txt" contains a list of open (and closed) TODOs, look here if you want to find something to work on - "main.*" includes the main function and a few utilities - The "d3d9*" files implement d3d wrapping - The "dinput*" files are very straightforward dinput wrapping - "Detouring.*" files implement function overriding using the Detours library - "KeyActions.*" files implement keybindings, together with the Xmacro files "Keys.def" and "Actions.def" - "SaveManager.*" files implement save backup management - "WindowManager.*" files implement window management (cursor hiding & capturing, borderless fullscreen) - "RenderstateManager.*" is where most of the magic happens, implements detection and rerouting of the games' rendering pipeline state - "SMAA.*", "VSSAO.*", "GAUSS.*" and "Hud.*" are effects optionally used during rendering (derive from the base Effect) - "Textures.def" is a database of known texture hashes |
And here’s my current TODO file:
(I’ve been keeping this since 0.8 or so, lines starting with // are done)
