Hi! I have a game where I would love the voice to be Japanese and the text to be English. Okay, it's Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance. Is there any way to take the japanese voice clips and put in the english version, you think? Or are the 3DS files just not structured that easily where the voice clips are just in their own folder or something?

Well, I know that the 'HD' version received an 'Undub", but googling for a 3ds equivalent turns up nothing... which is unusual, as most stuff that can be undubbed has been - so it kind of implies it might be a tricky one to pull off.
Someone else may know more.

Just moving the files around didn't work for me. I tried a few years ago to use the japanese files in the us version and caused all sorts of issues like voices not syncing or cutting out in several parts.

I don't know if it's possible but it would definitely take more work than just swapping the files, unlike games like FE Fates and Stella Glow which i managed by just swapping the files with the japanese ones.

    I rather enjoy a life of taking it easy. I haven't reached that life yet though.

    He put it down when the 3ds came out

    @K3Nv2, RIP Felix does great videos on the PS3 yellow-light-of-death.

    Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.

    The phat model had amazingly loud speakers tho.

    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite
    for people with beefy hands.

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but that's a long shot
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i think only the red mario kart edition phat was v5

    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

    Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.
