About mapinfos, we've cleared most of what we wanted (If I needed hacking, that would be hacking the 1ST_READ.BIN to get some information), and I've already got a selfboot system ready. The final version will probably use PacoChan's patcher for its release (I know how to put a sorttxt but I don't know how can I optimize it).

Puede que no sepas japonés, como yo, pero ya sabes, donde hay dos...

EDIT: Now that I remember, do we have any coder in da house? We need to parse some .XML files in order to transform some content.

Hello,

This is a really nice project.
I'm happy to see that my work is still used. I'm working on this since 2008 and there is too few project translations...

Hey again, small status update. The translation is halfway done, with stuff already implemented such as the notebook. But I have a couple of issues I have run with.

The first one is, I pretend to release this project via PacoChan's Patcher (The same one I've used for my Shenmue I and Resident Evil 2 Spanish translations), but first I have to set the CDDAs properly. I'm a total noob when it comes to doing releases, and it seems the only one who has achieved this is HyKan. I haven't been able to make the CDDAs sound right, the farthest point I could go is getting the first track on the Press Start Button menu... But only the last half can be heard.

The other thing is... it seems the GDi I ripped from my own disk seems to differ from what's on TOSEC. My disc code is <610-7179-0133A>H1723E. The fourth value is different from what's there. Is this normal or are we looking at two versions of the same demo?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks to FamilyGuy and HyKan's help, I solved this. Turns out I had to cut a big chunk of each track (Not even the GDi's would fit just like that) in order to match Hykan's LBA table. Now the CDDA works with MDS4DC.

I got a new question here... Anyone of you guys have or know where can I find this poster?

Image

It's from the ending of the demo. I want to translate it, but the compression damages would make it look worse. I've seen a lot of copies of the Shenhua that appears there (Even one with alpha channel), but I've never found the full sky nor the mirror logos.

I didn't knew there was a VHS tape about What's Shenmue.

Well, that looks like the best copy of that image, and BlueMue just sent me a scan. We'll see how it goes.

EDIT: Image fixed and translated. Thanks guys.

After I am finally back to the Dojo, I found this amazing thread. Great thing to do! Thought about it many times, happy to see it happening.

Note: Should you guys still be short on translators, I'd be more than happy to help.

Status update: Switch's going over the cutscene subtitles now, so we're quite advanced on that end.

But on the other side, we need someone more who can hack the 1ST_READ.BIN. I got some stuff aimed, but not too much of a result.
