The CRC is the same used in pcsx2. You can find lot of widescreen pnach here: https://github.com/PCSX2/pcsx2/blob/master/bin/cheats_ws.zip ManaGunZ change the value directly in the ISO, but it keep a backup of the original value so you can restore the iso.

Also from Zar comes a PS2 CONFIG editor for those interested, to quote:

I finally finished the app to easily create PS2 CONFIG files, I named it PS2 CONFIG editor:

Download: PS2 CONFIG editor.exe
Source: PS2 CONFIG editor.rar

For now, it only write CONFIG files perhaps later i'll add the possibility to read one. I think i'll integrate in MGZ only the comands without paramters, like it's done in the tab "simple" of the exe :p
 
ManaGunZ 1.28 update is out from Zarh via Github with details below, to quote:

Note :
(1) It use the included WideScreen pnach collection from PCSX2.
If you want to use your own pnach from "/dev_usbXXX/PNACH/[CRC].pnach", you must disable WideScreen because when you apply a pnach to the iso it change the CRC.
(2) I downloaded every MD5 for PS2 & PSX games from redump.org. It's inside ManaGunZ folder 'USRDIR/sys/Check.zip'.
For PSP backups, it come from renascene.com. Every CRC32 are saved in 'USRDIR/sys/PSP_CRC.txt'.
(3) The plugin Manager will deal with every sprx inside "/dev_hdd0/plugins" ONLY. If this folder do not exist, the option is not available.
(4) If the backup path is "/dev_hdd0/PS2ISO/Okami.iso", so the main icon path must be "/dev_hdd0/PS2ISO/Okami.jpg".

[LOAD]

The PS2 CONFIG editor is able to load CONFIG files and to display the result on the screen.
You'll be able to load :
  • "NET" config files from '[ManaGunZ Path]/USRDIR/sys/CONFIG/NET'. These are the CONFIG found in official ps2 classic pkg.
  • "GX" config files from '[ManaGunZ Path]/USRDIR/sys/CONFIG/GX'. These are the CONFIG extrated from gxemu.
  • "SOFT" config files from '[ManaGunZ Path]/USRDIR/sys/CONFIG/SOFT'. These are the CONFIG extrated from softemu.
  • "CURRENT" config files from '[You PS2 Backup Path].CONFIG'. This config is currently used.
  • "CUSTOM" config files from '[ManaGunZ Path]/USRDIR/sys/CONFIG/CUSTOM'. These are unofficial CONFIG.
[CHECK]

Morever, PS2 CONFIG editor check if the original data from the commandID : 0x9 & 0xA & 0xB matches with the data of your PS2 backup. If it's not a match the commandID on your screen will be displayed in red.

[EDIT]

Once it's loaded, you'll be able to ADD or REMOVE a command ID. For now, you can only ADD the commands without parameter, the 'simple' ones. You can add in CONFIG the patches from pnach files. So, the widescreen patches can be added. You can add the patches '480' 'YFIX' and 'FMV skip' to the config too.

[SAVE]

Finally, with the button START, it save your configuration to '[You PS2 Backup Path].CONFIG'. Also, if you edited the CONFIG then a backup of your config is stored in '[ManaGunZ Path]/USRDIR/sys/CONFIG/CUSTOM' folder.

Add FileManager : L1+LEFT/RIGHT D-pad to go to the parent/child folder.

Note:

(1) There is 2 way to do it :
The first one is to open the option menu while the cursor is on the header of the window.
The second is to use the following combo:
-Dock to LEFT : Hold R1 + LEFT D-PAD.
-Dock to RIGHT : Hold R1 + RIGHT D-PAD.
-Dock to FULL : Hold R1 + UP D-PAD.
-Restore : Hold R1 + DOWN D-PAD.

(2) Use the copy function in game menu. If the destination is FAT32, the big file will be splitted, if it's not it will be joined.
In file manager to join files, select ONLY the first file with the extension '66600' then paste it.

(3) To reduce memory use, it won't load 4 themes anymore. Only the theme of the current UI is loaded.
For each theme in each UI, it search for the following files.
-BG.PNG : Main background
-BGS.PNG : Settting background
-SIDEBAR.PNG : Sidebar background
-FONT.TTF : Font.
-colorset.ini : Set of color used in the homebrew.
When u load the theme it will use the theme font and the first colorset defined in the file. But you'll be able to change them in theme setting menu.
XMB UI use more files for the columns : SETTINGS.PNG, FAVORITES.PNG, PS3.PNG, PS2.PNG, PS1.PNG, PSP.PNG.

Also, before loading files from 'common' directory, it will check if these files don't exist in the theme directory.
