I have the bad habit to sell all I don't use (herbs, weapons, etc...)
Can the outfit be sold or not, like the map which can't be sold?

If the outfits can be sold, maybe by a mistake I already did it.
Why don't you use the NTR Cheat plugin to get all the outfits? They updated the Speedfly one to include an all items cheat

Because I never played the game, so I want enjoy it first.
The only cheats I use is SpeedWalk hack, and unlimited money.

I will cheats at the very end.
Fair enough but I mean you can just use the cheat just to check if it is uncensored then load your save again so the cheats don't save

When you've made the "restoration" of the orchestral soundtrack, could you pack the entire thing into a CIA please?

I'm working on it.

I already sorted 820 files out of the 1238 which have different names (so, thoses which doesn't overwrite the english files when you copy-paste them).

Once it's done, I'll be able to start the renaming.

Yeah.

I created and used a SFV file to do it more easily (it can list, in a directory, files which are missing and files which are differents).

Missing files => Japanese files.
Identical files => English files which are not overwritten by japanese ones.
CRC mismatch => English files overwritten by japanese ones.

I already sorted the "missing files" (japanese). Now I need to sort the "Identical files" (english ones which are not overwritten by japanese ones, even if a lot of those files will be useless as there are also SFX so maybe I'll do this sorting differently to not waste a lot of time).

(But sorting files is not what will be the longest).

I'm actually uploading the japanese voices (with different names) I sorted on my own server to make a backup of them.

I'm not sure but I just noticed some rares dialogues might stay in english in the game.

Let's take an example.

Japanese version :

script_27009_00_a.dspadpcm : Japanese saying "Remaining orbs number... six"
script_27009_00_b.dspadpcm : Japanese saying "Remaining orbs number... five"

Japanese version doesn't seem to have a voice for each number, contrary to english (except if it's a completly different name that I might find later)

Someone say that Japanese version bar theme is midi but USA is orchestra. So it would be logical keep the USA version of that theme?

So nobody can answer about why the textures aren't showing up?
I'm not sure, what is your setup? Are you running the newest version of Luma?

Just wanted to let you all know I'm currently building an OST undub / uncensored version for the USA release right now. For those who want to play with the original English voices, but the orchestral music and uncensored outfits. Please don't ask me where to find the .cia, it will be posted on the usual sites.
