I bought the game today.. The Audio is crappy in english and I was wondering if anyone wanted to work on dubbing the NTSC-J audio on the NTSC-U audio with me?

Ok so 'im thinking first step, getting it to load in one of the loaders. I got the ZRY realease from this morning (cause I can't backup games) but the iso I got was 2.6 Gb so 'im thinkin' the iso is bad. Has anyone gotten a normal iso NTSC-U for this game and if so, has it launched on any loaders?

EDIT: Specs : 3.2E PAL Wii - Tried the 2.65 Gb Iso on SoftChip r41 and Wiigator 0.3 Beta, with rev 6, tried applying VidTV, Pal50, PAL60, Force NTSC and Gc Hooktype, nothing worked...

Cheers,
Killer626

Yea just checked... You are right apparently megashares bugged out and gave me a weird file ^^ the same link is now 4.36 Gb (??!!?). Well, wtvr... I'm downloading it again, should be done in a couple of minutes ill try everything tonight and post the results tomorrow morning.

EDIT:::: Ok so apparently its working I just messed up ^^ Ok I'll start extracting both iso's (NTSCJ and U) to try to grasp the file structure for the voices... I'm just wondering... Thoretically, if i extract both iso's and magically find a simple way to dub the voices, hwouldn't we need to reencrypt the iso? Would Trucha work?

Hmm...just hit a disk read error in hima after fighting the Skirophorion while looking for the dragon tamer, if anyone else has hit this error or is past this part let me know bout to try again and see if it was just bad luck or something.

edit: Using Wiigator 0.3 beta (I'll test out softchip after this fight with him if it gives me another error)

Edit2: i tried again and i didnt hit a error this time, Not sure what caused it.

  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
