ROM Hack [WIP] Dragon Quest VIII (8) "Restoration" Project

[DarkSynopsis]

That is just for the character models, i mean the entire restoration project, like the music and such.

The models are the main focus of this restoration project, music can't be posted here.

That ISO site, it's down for maintenance atm though.

So there is no USA version of this mod?

Only one I know is Asia81's undub, uncensor, and orchestra mod.

I'm interested in this patch for my legit EUR cartridge copy of the game. I thought there wouldn't be a way for me to do this, since you rarely see patches for cartridges, mostly illegal .cias. So this is a relief. But this does not change the music, does it? I guess I have to apply a different patch for it, where can I find it and can I run both at the same time?

So, uh... How do I get the restoration patch to work on the USA version using Luma 7's built in game patching? Id like to combine it with this https://www.reddit.com/r/3dshacks/c...toration_and_undub_mods_for/?ref=search_posts to get away from the dirty precompiled CIAs.

Should just be a matter of taking the "data" folder from the "dq8res" folder and placing it into "luma/titles/000400000018F100/romfs"

Fantastic, thank you! I figured there's no way it could be that easy

Hi. Just found this thread and really want to use this to restore the old versions of the outfits on my 3DS copy I just have three questions. First will this work on a USA copy of the game? Second if I put this on the SD card and activate it will it damage my current save file? Third will it cause any sort of problems during gameplay such as freezing the screen, glitching the screen, or any other problems?

It will work with any version of the game provided you use Luma's Game Patcher functionality, it won't damage your save and won't cause any glitches. However you need to have Luma CFW for this obviously.

Where would I get Luma CFW and how would I use it to install this?

 

[AyanamiRei]

Is it possible to have this active under NTR while playing using Luma 3DS layered FS function? (for the jap.sound files)
Or is there a direct layeredFS folder with the files as I need to put them in the luma titles directory?

Thanks by advance.

edit: tried the above method. My bad.

I am having problems installing it. Do I need to load the game in Luma EU region first then load the game, get the save data then install this pack? cause I have tried to install it and load the game and it keeps saying it can not read the save data please reboot the system and try again. I do get the NTF to flash green so I know that part was working.
