Those crashs happen when a japanese file has one channel while the western version want a file with two channels for this file.

So to fix those crashs, we convert the japanese file with one channel to a japanese file with two channels.
Ah, tks for the info :D Damn Squeenix loves to make things hard for modders.

Okay, crash is fixed for sure this time, I just tested it with a rebuilt cia.

When the files were converted, the "DREAM" word in the filenames switched to lowercase, and as the files were working fine in "OnionFS", I left them this way.

But even if "OnionFS" doesn't seem to care about the lowercase/uppercase, the rebuilt game care about it.

Writing "DREAM" (instead of "dream") in the filenames fixed the problem.

New version (V4) is released, by the way (I released it yesterday).

As said before, it fix the crash during a dream about Medea and it fix 10 new english dialogs (except a few cries/screams, only two english voices should be left during the first 30 hours of the game. The two which are still in english are the two I didn't find yet in the game files, one dialog from Felix in Castle Felix and the other one is one dialog of the NPC who talk to you just after you get the magic mirror).

List of the english dialogs which are fixed in the V4 :

- Six dialogs at Felix's Castle (both Felix and Tom's ones).
- One dialog when you give the item to the smilodon's ghost.
- One dialog when you meet with King Clavius for the magic mirror (first meeting).
- One dialog when you speak to King Clavius the second time, after you found the prince.
- A dialog from Trodain, in front of Argonia's castle.

Fixed yesterday's dialogs and three new I found :

- Five dialogs related to cutscenes which happen in Arcadia.
- One dialog from Trodain in Marta's Cottage.

New english dialogs found which are not fixed yet :

- Four dialogs from a blonde guy in Orkutsk

(I found the english files of those dialogs but I didn't find the japanese ones yet, seems they use a completely different name).

Let's do a little summary :

Fixed (36) :

- A dialog from Yangus just before exploring the first city.
- A dialog from Valentina in the first city.
- A dialog from Dhoulmagus dialog during the trodain flashback cutscene.
- A dialog from Khalamari, on the ship.
- On the ship, when Yangus tell his encounter with the main character.
- Two sentences of a templar who block the way to Angelo in the abbey.
- A dialogue during the first encounter with Angelo in the abbey.
- A dialog from Yangus before Marcello puts the group in jail.
- A dialog from Marcello before he puts the group in jail.
- Four dialogues during Angelo's flashback (child)
- A dialog from Emma, when she asks you to help the sad King.
- When Brains talks about the lost ship.
- When you return to the moon world and speak to the elf after trodain castle exploration.
- After defeating the mole boss, one of it's minion dialog.
- One of Angelo's dialog when aquiering the ship.
- When you sneak on the barman and his friend's conversation in Baccarat.
- During a flashback with Dhoulmagus, seen through the crystal ball of Kalderasha.
- Six dialogs at Felix's Castle (both Felix and Tom's ones).
- One dialog when you give the item to the smilodon's ghost.
- One dialog when you meet with King Clavius for the magic mirror (first meeting).
- One dialog when you speak to King Clavius the second time, after you found the prince.
- A dialog from Trodain, in front of Argonia's castle.
- Five dialogs from cutscenes in Arcadia.
- One dialog from Trodain in Marta's Cottage.


Need to be fixed (6) :

- One dialog from Felix at Felix's Castle.
- The NPC that spoke to you right after you picked up the magic mirror.
- Four dialogs from a blonde guy in Orkutsk

(Red ones are dialogs which are not included in the last, V4, patch, because they were found and fixed after the release of the patch).

I have less time to play games as I started a new job (was unemployed since a long while) on Monday, so some people might now be ahead on me in the playthrough. Don't worry, though, I'm still planning to finish the game and fix the remaining english voices (I'll play it during weekends).

I'm just after Marek/Marta's chapter, so I did like ~75% of the whole playthrough (and those 25% left seems to be the shortest part of the game from what I read).

Sorry, but where did you release this V4? I checked the ISO site, it still says V3

I forgot to change the number in the post but it's the V4, I'll fix that.

Edit : No, it was fine. I wonder if they recently restored a backup? Because it's the old links. I'll check that.

Okay, I can confirm they did a restore or something like that, lots of messages got wiped.

I'll repost the V4 links.

Edit : V4 links are reposted.

Okay, thanks for the info.

since you played through nearly 75% of the game, are you saying you even fixed the still english voiced dialogue parts ? (so like ,by that i mean is nearly 75% of the dialogue in jap audio?)

if yes , i will go ahead and grab the V4 version! because i am still very early in the game and i am very slow (would love to play the game with Jap audio, as i already have had experienced the game on ps2 twice in english).

Only two dialogues aren't fixed for now, because I still need to find them in the file.

Except those two, it's okay for like the first 40 hours of play (except maybe a few screams/cries that I'll do at the end, because it's harder to do them). ~98% of the voices are in japanese in the V4 (V1 was 95%, and each new version added one percent to the total).

Of course, I'm only talking about the main quest. For example, I didn't try the monster arena yet so there might still be some english dialogues in it. I'll check the optional quests once I finish the main quest.

I'm near the end of the game. I just got the map of the captain, to find the bird.
