Field of view (FOV)

Change FOV with hex edit^{[citation needed]}

Open 3SwitcheD.exe with a hex editor such as HxD.
Go to offset 0x1F7FD6 and replace bytes with E8 23 B3 09 00, then inject the array in 0x2932FE with D9 44 24 04 D9 E8 D9 E8 DE C1 DE F9 D9 F2 D9 C9 C7 44 24 04 39 8E E3 3F F3 0F 10 44 24 08 0F 2F 44 24 04 73 08 D8 74 24 08 D8 4C 24 04 C7 44 24 04 00 00 80 3F D8 74 24 04 D9 C9 D9 F3 D9 E8 D9 E8 DE C1 DE C9 D9 5C 24 04 E9 84 E1 DC FF.
With the conditional Aspect Ratio, replace 39 8E E3 3F with bytes representing the limit of horizontal aspect ratio.
For the FOV, replace 00 00 80 3F with bytes representing your float value multiplier in Little Endian.
