There's a guide for this game posted on GameFaqs.com

 

I have this game for PSX.... Have'nt finished it yet but with the guide I made it to the tournament and got to unlock all the characters....

Is it even possible to IPS-patch a playstation game? Does anyone know how these patch-things work anyway - like do you have to go through changing every line of dialogue or is it possible to just change the symbols to display words in *english* (or whatever)?

 

PS (Ithink all you have to do to make an iso is get a prog like cloneCD + make an image of the CD, but I will leave it up to the experts because you may need special settings etc... for psx games.)

PPS (count me in 2! :lol: )

It is possible, but I'm not sure how it's actually done. Maybe you have to patch the ISO with an IPS file or patch a file, and then turn the whole thing into an ISO.

I just wish I knew how an IPS patch was written...I've heard people refer to script dumps I suppose that means that you have to extract the whole script, change it into the language, and then put the code back in. So I suppose that means you have to manually change every line of dialogue. No wonder it takes so long!

I takes a lot more than just extracting and reinserting dumped text data...

Hacking is needed to have support for new fonts and text placing, etc.

it's very complex

and it's harder for isos because the data has to fit exactly with no extenders otherwise the psx won't be able to recognize the new data.

 

as for making isos, i'm not really an athority at that, but i think you can just use clonecd and make a disk image of it.

hmmmmmph i don´t think you can make isos with clone cd, you can make disc images but not in iso format if i ain´t wrong, anyway there are lots of programs available that enable you to do that.

Okay, thanks guys, that has cleared alot up for me. Well, I just hope the people who are translating policenauts (the sequel to snatcher) are successful - they are trying to translate both the psx version and the Sega Saturn version.

 

(Cool, this is my 100th post! :) )
