Hacking Digimon Adventure [PSP]

How would you silence the background music in the voice clips from the show?

 

[gtuansdiammx]

this is all fan/noob(me) work
you cant ask for so much lol

 

[SuperSZ]

im a newcomer too so idk who to ask lol
best move would be to wait 24 hours and
within that 24 hours someone gbatemp regular would point us in the right direction

Exactly, that would be the best. I could extract that cpk file, but look what I got (it continues, I have a lot of files, and all without extension):

Right now I'm like:

xD

It CAN be done, maybe the result won't be perfect, but I've seen tutorials on youtube on how to remove background music and SOMETIMES it works. Plus I can ask to the guy who did a Dragon Ball Project (he put the latinoamerican voices of Dragon ball z anime into the Dragon Ball Budokai Tenkaichi 3 game for ps2) ; the results of his project are pretty good

i think we should wait till after the menu translation is started cause then there will already be someone working on this and with some know how on this games work

 

[SuperSZ]

your images dont work
try uploading to imgur

I uploaded them to another page, do they work now?


btw, I didn't use FileMajik from CRI Middleware because I couldn't find it, I used this one instead http://gbatemp.net/threads/cpk-file-extensions.171279/#post-2159882 (CRI tools)

 

[gtuansdiammx]

yup

 

[SuperSZ]

I found a video in which he did the same (with another game), at the end put a command on cmd to rename the files to .bin but he said that those files now were able to be edited by a graphic design program. So... maybe that just worked for that particular game. I googled about the .DNS file, but couldn't find anything.

 

[gtuansdiammx]

you should wait till someone starts the translations project
like this we'll be walking in circles
i gotta go ill be back on tommorow

Hey all I've been lurking for a while and registered just so I can have my input I for one would also love a redub (fan localization) in place. We have access to the voices from the anime and even the official US anime music (orchestrated and bad "fight" music) for season 1. Why not at least do a proof video or something. If this isn't possible at least we can translate the game easily because we already have the script material from the English season 1 and Digimon the Movie.

Because it is illegal to use material you have no license to.
If someone really wants to dub it themselves, they own the rights to it, so enjoy.

But in any case, this would be illegal.
A translation is a derivative work, it is sort of a grey area, and as long as you only release the patch it is technically legal.

Your idea is not.

Also: Why in gods name would you replace the awesome japanese soundtrack with the ugly US one?

I just watched english episodes the other day



Here the arguble Pepper Breath. When I heart the Digivolution music I was like "WTF? SERIOUSLY?"

NOTHING can compare to Brave Heart or Wada Koji.

You are about to ruin something very beautiful.

While this is all subjective, objectively:

Using US Material you have no license to, will get you in trouble...

 

[wilso]

just got my first game over >.< only because phantomon has an attack that leaves u with 1 hp everytime it hits i call hax...(i would of won but i wasted all my revives while training patamon)

 

[kohryu]

No, Pepper Breath and Spirit Fire are the localized terms and thus: correct.

Votes before resulted in most fans preferring localized terms, which is the ones that are going to be used.

What about the characters name then? Like will you use Yamato or Matt?

I myself prefer their original names though since the game takes place in Japan. I don't mind the digimon names and terms though, they are fine.

Because of the nostalgia which this game was originally made for. I don't know about you, but I grew up listening to the english voices and music and everytime I try to switch to Japanese it's just odd to me. Why keep something that wasn't the memorable part towards everyone. I absolutely love the US dub music, so what they overused it in the anime? You can control whether or not to overuse it in the game. I love tracks like this one





And who can forget music like "Hey Digimon"?



I understand about the legality, but unless Bandai US/Saban decide to localize this game, then what else is there for us fans?

Because there are more people who know and remember Brave Heart, than the English One.

Digimon was released all over the world and US was the only one who didn't use the Original Soundtrack.

And yeah: what you are suggesting is illegal.

And the English Soundtrack is ill fitting, sounds like a frickin disney movie for the movie itself and not mentioning the anime.

Fact is: Majority of the digimon fans grew up with the original soundtrack even though not with the original dub.

So even if I could I would never do anything to harm this beautiful soundtrack. Actually fans joyed all over the world when they heard Brave Heart was in.

The less fortunate ones who had to grew up with the English one... Well you can't save them all.

We are not trying to bring an English Release to the US solely, but for all the digimon fans who want to relive their memories.

There is not one song in this list that is not giving me goosebumps <3

ohh if i have to vote i would stick with the original name instead using Tai use Taichi, you know original Japanese names (its more suitable since the game has voice)

don't like ENG-DUB (voice actor s@ck + they change the script/dialog)
ENG-SUB is the best.

 

[SuperSZ]

Okay, I made some discoveries. The good thing is that you can open stuff, the bad thing is that I still don't know which format they are.

Once you extract the FILEDATA.CPK file, order by size and:

From ID03686 to ID03638 you can open them with Media Player Classic (it's free, google it) : they're cutscenes from the game and digivolutions. However, I get no sound, just video.

The first to files: ID03840 and ID03630 are very big, they must be something important. I SUPPOSE that they contain the main audio and video from the game (by video I mean the 3d models and stuff). Just a theory.

 

[SuperSZ]

Hey romsstar I have a question: you're saying that replacing music files would be ilegal. Replacing the voices would be ilegal too?

 

[StorMyu]

Something taken from copyrighted material = illegal
so yeah.

A patch per se, only contains your data and nothing from the game. That's why it's already barely legal.
Using other voice is illegal, that's why (to take an example) the undub version of Dissidia is made by having the Japanese UMD + Eur/Us UMD by SephiZack

http://www.pspgen.com/undub-patch-dissidia-final-fantasy-telechargement-189567.html

There's nothing copyrighted on his tool, he's just moving the voice file from one UMD to another. See now ?

 

[Romsstar]

Hey romsstar I have a question: you're saying that replacing music files would be ilegal. Replacing the voices would be ilegal too?

Yes, even more actually, would be a more serious copyright infringement due to more parties of interest involved.

But well, that is already splitting hairs. I mean both is illegal, which one is "more illegal" than the other, doesn't really matter imo.

 

[ultima espio]

I don't know how to extract from the CPK since there's no TOC, however looking through with HEX the models and textures are in standard GMO/GIM format. The only way to get those is to get the program Gitmo:

I'm definitely interested in a translation of this game, but I know nothing about text formats/Japanese so I'll try to help any way I can.

EDIT: Music is in At3 format as well by the look of it.

Yep, videos are in standard PMF too.
