Run the game in widescreen and 60 FPS with skipped intro

Go to XISO Tool and unpack the game's image file to a folder. Download the Conker 60 FPS Patch. Replace the original default.xbe from the extracted files with the patched version. Download blank.xmv as a raw file. Make two copies of blank.xmv renamed as Attract.xmv and BootIntro.xmv. Copy the files to \dvddata\fmv\frontend\ and replace the stock files. In XISO Tool, pack the files as an XISO image. Once packed, open it with a hex editor such as HxD. Go to Search, Replace, Hex values.
