First off let me say that I am glad that someone has played undub all the way through and can review it. To top it off you actually know japanese which is even more awesome.

This is true. FREE SPEECH is the bulk of speech files. JAP version has many more files than PAL. The files are also named differently/missing between both versions. All incompatible files are dummied..Hence the missing speech!
johnvivant wrote:-all cutscenes are pretty much perfect, with only very rare lip sync issue or of speech being cut off.
This is true. CINEMATICS should be 98% complete. As for lip sync issues the same thing happens with ENG Speech mod. Compare it to a dubbed kung fu movie. This could only be fixed if a translation is done to the subs...i.e Kogami's upcoming release!

Yes, I don't really know anything about this sorry.

This is something that happened during optimizing the disks. When making the discs resemble the actual gd-rom's 2 CDDA files on CD3 are used...i.e adding the chime is track01.raw. In the earlier undub versions I only used the motorcycle scene audio (track02.raw).
I have no plans of fixing any of the issues.
KOGAMI-->
*Remember to only add track02.raw on cd3 for CDDA.
*Remember to add the audio for the final cutscene.
(I think Illducci mentioned this to me...but, I honestly don't remember where the audio for this cutscene is.)
