ROM Hack RELEASE Final Fantasy X/X-2 Undub

[masagrator]

For Atmosphere 0.10.1+ users: Remember to rename folder 'titles' to 'contents'!

This project was possible only thanks to ro module implementation from Atmosphere team.

Requirements:
- Atmosphere 0.8.9 or newer

Atmosphere 0.8.8 and older + everything based on this old versions will not work.

It should work with every region with every Western language.

Known issues:

Spoiler: Informations

- Cutscene desynchronizations
>> (This are only my thoughts, I haven't studied localization files) Cutscenes that are not based on motion capture are synchronized with subtitles, so they tend to desynchronize with Japanese audio. Only way to repair this is to edit localization files.

- "Credits & Bonus Audio" desynchronization
>> JP version doesn't have proper timestamps for Western languages except English, so subtitles are synchronized to english video. Swapping them is not possible, as Japanese version contains ~380 lines, when English ~420 lines.

Just put atmosphere folder to root of your sdcard.
It should look like this:

atmosphere\nro_patches\FFX_Undub\01FEE8A3289603061B8B40850E99B039.ips #Credits & Bonus Audio
atmosphere\nro_patches\FFX_Undub\9ABE8E208A2AA147B83C965C88592951.ips #Final Fantasy X-2 + Last Mission
atmosphere\nro_patches\FFX_Undub\ECF2B302C9DBBA3F7DED988FF47D68D6.ips #Final Fantasy X + Eternal Calm

It's not 100% tested (only on english & spanish language), so every comment is appreciated.

Thanks to @ZeroFX @tabzer @NemRe for help with testing.

Changelog:

#24.04: Fixed one string for FF X & FF X-2
#24.04: Forced using additional JP Banks
#28.04: Added proper timestamps for "Credits & Bonus Audio" english subtitles.

It is a great job. Thank you very much for this!

Is it possible to be used on SXOS?
Btw, thanks for great work

No. Every CFW without new ro implementation from Atmosphere is not working with modified NRO. You can use this patches to directly patch files, change hashes in .nrr and still you will get crash.

Tested (IPS patch) and works perfectly! Thanks to @masagrator and @SciresM of course!!

OK, it looks like I missed one line in FFX and FFX-2. Patches updated.
For FF X there is one issue, but I don't know where it will show or if - jp0828_0828_bank0000.
For US there is only one string for every us*_*_bank00, where jp has jp*_*_bank00 with one exception where instruction is branching - jp*_*_bank0000.


So there will be one of two outcomings:
1. It will play this in english
2. It will not play voice for this sequence.

Still there is a possibility that this is not used in game or used in some side quest, so there will be small amount of people, who will encounter this

For now I'm not enough skilled to swap instructions, so if someone will encounter this issue (whole cutscene should have english voices or no voices), then I will take time to fix it if this person will send save before this cutscene.

Nice job, you're welcome!

The new patch breaks FFX (not FF X-2, I tested only the opening and the first battle in this) and now the voices are again in English.

Edit: The previous one is heard in Japanese. Tested at the same point.
Edit2: It seems fixed in the new version, has been fast hehe

 

[masagrator]

Huh, now I don't understand how this game works. But I forced using last modified JP banks instead of swapping strings with US. For X-2 too just in case.
If it's still not working, sent me save where it occurs.

Edit: It looks like issue is resolved.

Noob here, any pointer for where and how to get the ro module? Went on github but didn't see it.

Build it oraz download latest atmosphere from bsnx.lavatech.top. It's

titles\0100000000000037\exefs.nsp

 

[hbkmog]

Okay thanks. Will try it out.

 

[hbkmog]

Testing. So far so good. It's amazing how far atmosphere has come to make ips patch like this possible. So much possibility for other things!

Please forgive the n00b question, but where could I find the 0.8.9 version in order to try this?

You need this:

[cloudfe]

You need this:

I’m afraid I’ll need a bit more help
Should I install Atmosphere’s latest build (0.8.8-1468340), and then the .nsp in the quote?

For the compatibility with nro_patches only need download the latest build of Atmosphere in bsnx.lavatech.top and copy the folder "atmosphere\titles\0100000000000037\exefs.nsp" to the microSD (same route).

You don't have to install anything, just copy these files.

Thank you very much, I'll try it later today

Would it be possible to install the game from SX OS, and then apply the modifications needed in Atmosphere and play it from Atmosphere?
It is easier for me to install games using the built-tin SX OS utility.

You can, but f.e. i had issue running from Atmosphere installed from SX OS xci. So it depends
