ROM Hack [Release] Shin Megami Tensei IV Undub

[X_Frost]

Yeah it's because it's undecrypted so the patch is huge, but it's still faster than downloading both roms and doing it manually yourself

Can you set up an alternative download link, if possible?
For some reason MEGA is not letting me download (and yes I have an account and required extensions).

You try using JDownloader?

The patch file is more than the size of the game? Is this normal because it's undecrypted.

Would it be faster to disassemble the JP game and switch the audio files, or this method?

i didnt actually want to point that out originally.....as he rebuilt it and created the ppf by comparing encrypted with decrypted he has pretty much shared the whole rom .........to make a patch smaller you need to re-xor instead, and the file sizes need to stay around the same size etc

 

[Canzah]

Well this was the only way I could do it without literally sharing the complete rom or xorpads (which would be illegal).

Though a little off-topic, turns out all the lyric files in Hatsune Miku - Project Mirai 2 are in plaintext. Just have to work through and translate them all, line by tedious line. And considering it's 4467 lines long, even though some of that is config data, that's still a bloody shyte tonne of work. Yay..........

Oh, also, all the song titles are stored in plaintext as well, so that's a good start on translation, as all of them are available pre-translated already. Guess that's where I'm going to start.

Edit: MIKU WHY? WHY YOU BETRAY US?

Also, according to HM-PM2, the 3DS input lag is 0.034 seconds. So yeah, that's cool.

I've finished undubbing Devil Survivor Overclocked, will upload patch now and make a proper thread for it once upload is done.

Damn, aren't you rollin'. Nice job!

 

[Canzah]

Well, I wasn't able to do Soul Hackers and I probably won't be able to at all, due to a peculiar way in which the game stores the voices.
Thankfully Soul Hackers has pretty amazing dub, which is a rare sight from Atlus USA, and personally I prefer the dubbed version of SH anyway.
Devil Survivor had absolutely abysmal dub though so I'm glad I was able to undub it.

BEEN WAITING FOR THIS!!!

 

[Mylink5]

Amazing! So you are saying that in the undub, if I choose the second variant, the movies will have japanese subs?

 

[Canzah]

Yes.

 

[Mylink5]

Well, great work anyway! Looking forward to being able to patch the movies too! Could you give any insight on how you did the undub?

 

[Canzah]

Unpack the rom
Replace the audio files by hand
Repack the rom
That's the short version.

Oh if only it were that simple.

 

[Ashtonx]

ahaha yep, that's pretty much what everyone figured out by now, i'm guessing they're more interested in tools and tips what to watch out for.

 

[Canzah]

Hehehhehe, yeah.
But honestly, repacking the rom was the hardest part for me.
Undubbing itself took literally 5 minutes tops in case of SMT4.
But I really am not the guy to ask regarding repacking roms, I was taught by Huntereb and myself don't really know much beyond what he taught me.
All I can say from my end is that properly editing RSF is crucial, even when using the ExHeader Injector.

It just has to be kinda right.

In Regards of RF4 Undub, Just a out of the box suggestion but if you want to automate matching voice files you might wanna turn files into mp3 and post it on 4 chan requesting match up, if you're lucky you're gonna have them matched within a few hours

I remember how crazy fast people worked on koihime musou voice patch.. then again koihime was an eroge.

 

[NCDyson]

I'm curious how these undub patches don't violate the forum rules since they contain copy-written data from the japanese version of the game. Not trying to troll, just looking for clarification on how this works exactly.

 

[Ashtonx]

shh!
