Topics I've Started

Reporting Homebrew Games

28 January 2010 - 01:48 PM

I created this topic because I don't know how to proceed.

I stumbled across several Homebrew titles for the NDS not listed here yet and thought I should inform the Homerbew Staff about it. However, I recieved no answers to my PMs to staff members (I waited ~2months), so I created this topic here.

Are we not allowed to inform the staff about Homebrew?

Thanks for your time.

Suikoden Tierkreis Undub Infos here

12 March 2009 - 10:44 PM

So, because I am certain this question will be asked in the next days:
Yes it is possible to undub Tierkreis. I created this post because people have asked in several threads already whether or not its possible to undub Tierkreis.

How to:
Thanks to GreenBanana who wrote detailed instructions on how to undub both the EU and JP versions. My old undubing guide can still be found below his. And yes, that's right- we are undubing the JP version as well! The reason? Undubing the EU version will not restore battle voices.

To undub the EU version:
Warning! Spoiler inside. 


To translate the JP version:
Warning! Spoiler inside. 


Outdated Undub instructions
Warning! Spoiler inside. 

As you can see, it's actually not that hard... Enjoy the nice Intro Song and the original voice acting (which is also less compressed -> sounds better).

Now, I wonder why the Japanese Movies are up to 20% larger in size each compared to the E Version. Propably because of the Sound encoding, which sounds slightly metallic in the E version due to heavy compression. Btw it's a shame they dumped the INtro Song in the localized version. =O

As of now, undubbing will cause the audio to be out of sync as soon as you arrive in Magedom. This applies to both the EU and JP undub!
But fear not, our community consisting of gamers enjoying original Japanese voices in their games already worked on some patches to solve this problem. Happy day. Here you go:

Desync fix by tsol based on shinbatsus work:
Post and download link

Font fix #1 gukid. InGame text is now pretty pretty and easier to read. Yay
Post and download link

Font fix (a new font, easier to read) by AshenPhoenix. Appearently fixes the Heros name being out of propotion with the rest of the text...
Post with DL link for new font and instructions

Old desync fix
Warning! Spoiler inside. 


Thanks to the all the people who posted valuable informations.

Also, not so interesting line in a batch file of the ROM, posting it anyway:
CODE
@echo off
rem misc ディレクトリは雑多な素材の格納に使います。
T:\data\program\tools\dtarc.exe 01misc.dal -h arc_misc.h -c -o ..\rom\misc.bin

dtarc is a tool to build/pack the bins? hmmmm

Elebits Undub Patch

08 January 2009 - 09:53 PM

Elebits Undub


Well, the NA release Elebits just hit the streets (or the internet, if you will). However, it features English voiceovers.
So I made a undub patch (so I don't have to repatch my US Rom later again), and decided to post it here for all people who do not want to DL both versions and fiddle around with ndstool or Nitro Explorer. biggrin.gif Downlading the 4Mb patch takes less time than downloading both the US and JP versions.

Download Link Rapidshare XDelta3 Format 4Mb:
http://rapidshare.com/files/181175998/Eleb...dub_xdelta3.rar

Just unrar the archive and place the USA Rom inside the newly created folder. Then click on Patcher-Click_Me.bat (a batch file, contains plain text. Right-click on it and open it with notepad if you want to check its contents). It'll automatically rename the NDS file to elebits_orig.nds and start patching.


Download Link Rapidshare PPF Format - 26Mb:
http://rapidshare.com/files/181171344/Elebits_Undub-PPF.7z

Includes the PPF and PPFomatic V3. In case you don't trust the PPFoMatic EXE (no, I have no intentions to h4ck your porn tongue.gif) or already got your own version, you can safefly delete it. wink.gif


Both work, but I recommend the xdelta package as it's smaller.

YSMenu on R4 - Screen flickers when saving

30 September 2008 - 06:10 AM

Ok, thanks to you guys I managed to get YSMenu to work on my R4 (I used the Batch Pack R4YS since when I followed the steps of the YSMenu Tuorial I couldnt get it to create a r4dldi file >.>).

Now I noticed that, with DMA enabled of course, that the loadings time in Etrian Odyssey were a bit longer (only 1sec), and saving would take twice the time as with the R4 1.18 Firmware.

But what really made me raise my eyebrows is that on some games, the screen starts to flicker on the bottom screen in weird black horizontal lines while saving a game. As soon as the saving process is finished it's gone. ohmy.gif Happened to me in Final Fantasy IV US, Sumon Night US, and some other games.

Just wanted to know if that flickering is normal, or if something is messed up with YSMenu. After all, our SAV files are the most precious files on our microsd's!! biggrin.gif

MicroSD is a Kingston Japan model.
