Mega Man ZX gets a playable Fandub mod

​


After almost 3 years in development, the Mega Man ZX Fandub project is finally finished and out to the public. User CrossTrash, alongside a wide range of fan voice actors who worked on the dub, finalized the work on the dub, which can be installed using the Fluffy Mod Manager, and patches the Mega Man Zero / ZX Legacy Collection release of ZX. It's currently unknown whether or not the fandub is compatible with the original DS release, but with some proper romhacking, perhaps it could be possible.

While the dub is currently at v1, the author mentions that there's a couple of issues with the first release regarding some unbalanced audio in the later half of the game, and some audio files being corrupted or missing due to errors with Audacity. CrossTrash hopes to update all of these issues within a week from the v1 release, so those interested can keep track on the project for the eventual fixes update.

This is cool but ZX is such a meh game. Probably has the worse map in a game ever with trying to navigate and the game doesn't really gain anything from being a Metroidvania compared to the usual Megaman affair.

by the way, the fan project "mega man x corruption" seems to be taking that aspect of the ZX and doing it right. but who knows, we only saw a 1 hour gameplay XD

Wow, that's pretty cool. Megaman ZX was definitely a game that should receive a proper American dub, although only its sequel, ZX Advent, received one.

I was one of the ROM hackers that released the undub version for DS platforms, together with our PT-BR translations. We did that by getting the Japanese ROM and replacing some of its files with the ones from the American version, and implementing a few ASM routines to make sure the game won't crash at specific moments. However, making a proper fandub for the DS versions will require creating audio and/or video files from scratch (with a few proprietary codecs and SDK files as well), so it's something kinda harder to be achieved.

There are also a few friends of mine who want to create an alternate PT-BR fandub for this game, and they even managed to make it work in the Legacy collection to some extent. Gotta reach them eventually and see how far they progressed on it.

I'm pretty sure nobody asked for this, as we typically prefer Japanese dubs.

The art-style might appeal to a younger audience, and having an english fandub might help them to enjoy the game more... :) I'm guesstimating though since I've never played this game.

  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s

  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
