[Muff1n]

hi im new here, found this translations wich seems incredible, only prob is. cant patch.. doesnt work.

i have a .img .bin and i have also ripped from a .img file successfully with turboripper, then tried to patch it.. didnt work.. says its damaged.

also checked .iso and .wav files from turboripp and it says there is nothing wrong with the files.

if someone can help me i would really appreciate it, been waiting for this, i hope i dont have to order the original rare cd from ebay if its there, just to get a clean copy.. wich i have according to tocfixer =\

  Have you tried a CDRWIN rip with the BIN/CUE patch?  As long as the ISO and WAV files are in the same folder as the batch file the patcher should find them.  If the file sizes are not perfect you will also see the damaged message.

  Amazing to read about the new intro font!  Want me to insert the PSP text or has the work already started?  I can plop the ASCII text directly into the old patcher and it would work.  Using the charcode program I wrote should make it a really easy to drop it right in and keep the layout right.

I had the same problem before. The best way to rip this is with turborip.exe and then use the ISO/WAV patch. Here is the newest version available. Use the program 7-Zip to extract. http://www.megaupload.com/?d=MF02JEL0

Or, just download this if you are having issues.  Its the game image, pre-patched.  Also included is all the artwork that you see here in this thread.  [link removed]  This is my personal Megaupload account.  Nice to have for stuff like this.

Sorry peeps.  I wasnt aware we could not have links to full games.  Oversight on my part.  If someone wants the game, pre-patched, just get with me via PM.

I was right about to send you an email about this.
I believe tomaitheous is all ready working on inserting the PSP text though.

 I didn't insert any PSP text yet, but did convert all the existing translated SJIS chars into ascii to test everything out. If you have windows xp compatible setup, I can send you over the project files if you want (batch files, source, exe, etc). But I had a feeling that all that PSP text probably still won't fit (although you probably know about how much free space there is). If need be, I can add a redirect token control code system for longer text strings (points to other places in cdram, but the original parsing routine won't know it's happening - it's inside the hook handler).

Thnx bernielindell! , well as i said i have .img and .bin and also the Ripped .iso and .wav files wich i got from using turboripper (with no error messages) and i also checked the files with tocfixer 1.00 and also in that program it was flawless. still i get error using iso/wav patcher, saying the game rip is damaged. =\

i also got a error when i patched mine, but it plays fine. the title intro sound is a bit scratchy but it doesnt bother me. Try ignoring the error message and mount and play the game.

Same thing happened to me. I was using the BIN/CUE version.

I've found that the sound gets scratchy in other parts as well. I'm not very familiar with the game, but it sounds like the newly-added PSP audio is the only thing that gets scratchy.

If you are getting errors when patching, something is wrong somewhere.  I got no errors, and my patched game plays with no issues at all.

That's awesome! Can't wait for the next release of the patch! How's the manual translation coming? I'm not sure how you feel about this, but I'd be willing to pay for having some CD professionally pressed once the patch and all associated packaging are complete.

From what I can tell the manual should be coming along nicely.

As for selling pressed disks I'm against doing that for various reasons. The most obvious being that it would be illegal, also getting people on eBay claiming they have an official American release of the game and selling it for a stupidly inflated price for something originally intended to be free on the internet. Also making a quality burn of the disk on your own would be just as good as a pressed copy (using verbatim brand CDR’s and burning at 1x speed with a quality burner).

This happens when you make bad rip of the game into BIN/CUE.
I recommend using the ISO-WAV patcher and ripping using Turbo Rip since you can grantee a perfect rip that way.

I have instructions in the readme for making a perfect rip for the BIN/CUE but as I said it's somewhat problematic.

Understood. I share several of you concerns which is why I asked first. I won't pursue it. Thanks again for all your hard work!

Sent you an e-mail.  Great to see all the unfinished elements coming together.
