Xbox 360 - Need for Speed Carbon at 60 fps (xbox 360 RGH 2023)
10I'm testing several settings to determinate which one return the best results.
I've noticed that the game is not capped at 30 fps, but they left the vsync on so most of the time it runs at 30 fps. Rarely, in the first person view it runs at 60 fps for few seconds. My settings remove the vsyn and try to have a better smoothness.
In my opinion three of the four views are playble. The first person is the 60 fps, the hood is a bit less and jark when turning. Finally the far third person view is still playable (the close one not), at least for the track I've tested (see it from minute 3:39).
I've also deactivated the rearview mirror to gain some frame more.
To get the unlocked framerate you have to (my version has Media ID 5E74E60D):
1. You need a RGH modded Xbox 360 (actually, I haven't tried on a retail Xbox 360 with this game installed. Perhaps with software like Horizon it should be possibile insert the modded xex, but I don't suggest it because with unlocked framerate the GPU temperature rises)
2. Take the defaul.xex in your Need for Speed Carbon folder on the xbox 360, copy and paste it in your PC to uncompress/decrypt it with xextool (follow my tutorial for the decrypting/uncompressing part, here https://youtu.be/W26KD-mntEY)
3. Open the decrypted/uncompressed file in HxD
4. Search for this location (CTRL+G):
6DD3C0 in HxD (826e23c0 in absolute values) and change the 409A to 48 00
63CBD0 in HxD (82641bd0 in absolute values) and change C0 23 04 68 to 60 00 00 00
NOTE: if you don't find it, be sure you have selected "hexadecimal values" in the research window and you don't have a title updated (TU) game or another region game (ex. PAL/NTSC or Media ID). In that case try to search for these values:
(for 40 9A, the first two values of this row)
40 9a 00 48 97 cb 00 04 39 40 00 13 38 e0 00 00 38 c0 01 00 95 4b 00 04 81 5f 2a 14 39 4a 00 04 55 48 65 3e 55 49 00 fe 39 48 02 00 55 4a 04 e6
(for C0 23 04 68, the first four values of this row)
c0 23 04 68 4e 80 00 20 3d 60 82 08 39 6b 17 e4 91 63 00 00 4e 80 00 20 4e 80 00 20 00 00 00 00 4e 80 00 20 00 00 00 00 7d 88 02 a6 91 81 ff f8
5. Save the file as you prefer (eg. NFS_Carbon_unlocked.xex)
6. Copy this file in your folder on the Xbox 360, then start it by file manager or rename in default.xex (after renamed the original one) to start it from the cover in your dashboard
