y'all goddamn perverts <A< ..

(but neat job on this one!) like someone else stated , is there a chance for a undub (with the Jap language?)

But is it really perverted if it was officially uncensored in the first place? lol

I already made the orchestra (not uploaded yet)
For the restoration, I don't know what to patch because I don't know what is censored, so...
I don't think it's something that can be added back in, since the Japanese version also has those scenes edited/removed. One is of David eating dog food, another is of the guy whose name escapes me stabbing his arm. Not sure if there's anything else.

I have NO idea what the EU title ID for this game is.

@Asia81 would it be possible to get Jap audio ?

mix it with the uncensor patch if possible.
As I said, I already made the Orchestra version, and it contain the audio sounds file, so japanese voices too.
I just pasted the whole jap sound folder (not the folder itself, but all audio files) in the eur sound folder, and merged.

I already tried that, and the result is missing sounds (in battle, when you pick and throw a barrel, ect...) I think it needs file renaming/marching to work at 100%

I was working on a full undub as the guy who did it on this famous 3DS site don't want to make a full one because he prefer english voices, but if you already did yours, I guess it's useless to continue mine.

Asia81 undub version will not be uncensored from what I read and it seems normal as the 3DS Western version is not censored, they just decided to modify some outfits in the japanese version.

(Personally, I don't care at all about that, especialy when the fixes aren't perfect).

@toto621 : If you just paste the japanese files in the western files directory (choosing overwrite), it should work fine. Let's say the barrel sound file is named differently in the japanese version. It mean the japanese version of this file won't override the western version of the same file, so the game will still be able to load the western version of the file and so, will be able to play the sound.

The problem you describe could probably happen if you delete everything from the western sound folder then past the japanese sound folder content (as if some names are differents, the game won't be able to find some of the files of the western version if you delete all of them before doing the copy-paste).

This is exactly why it's better to copy-paste the audio files, instead the whole folder itelf.
It did it and all seems to work fine.
No missing sound/sfx.

Quick question: This mod also restores the orchestral soundtrack of Japanese version right?

Will this work on the legit US download? (preloaded the game, will unlock in a few hours)

And yes, I have CFW and NTR :)

Great work! I am excited to get my copy to test this out. Do you think you could add the 100 tension animation? It was cool going super saiyan back on the ps2.

Then just play the Japanese version? It would be easier to just swap the text with the Western version vs undubbing everything. Work smarter, not harder.

No. It's far easier to just copy-paste the japanese sound files

Copy-paste text files would have a high rate of failure as the japanese game engine probably only support japanese texts, which is near often the case.

No. It doesn't restore the music.

Doing this, many voices files will NOT be replaced by japanese ones because western and japanese files names are differents. This is a hard work but someone need to make sure EACH japanese voice files match EUR ones, By default it's definitly not the case.
