How to import the translated PC version of Grandia 2 into the Dreamcast version?

This is the PC version ? If you just want to change the text, you just need to copy all the data in the text, and you don't need to replace the other files？
You provide PC and DC files, I can simply replace try

 

Yes the file it's the french file for PC version (a team translate the PC version in french).
So need to put this PC version in the DC version,but doesn't work...

So I upload : http://www31.zippyshare.com/v/3h8prmC6/file.html
D000 DC ENG > Dreamcast Version,it's the ORIGINAL version.
D000 PC FR > PC Version,it was translated in french.

Need to remake D000 PC FR compatible for Dreamcast.

Thank you for your help I appreciate

 

Maybe you should ask for help on the french romhack site here : https://traf.romhack.org/ or the international romhack site here : https://www.romhacking.net/

 

Very very interesting. Nice research

 

@yzb37859365 : are you sure it's the line 70 for the adress and length because I have the same thing in french pc file and dreamcast english origin file, but I notice a difference in line 80 ?...
Here 3 versions different of the same file we have found around the web and the total length for each file is different :




Could you tell me where is the file for letters in the dreamcast game. We have found a mod for edit it. Maybe we may do it by yourself.

Thanks for your help

 

I'm sure 0x7c is the address, and 0x78 is the length
If it is 0, there is no text
Do you mean a font file?

 

Where is the font file for add accent?

Thanks

 

what accent?

font file

TITLE_DATA_001.bin


SYS_004.bin

 

In french you have accent : é - à - è - ô etc...

So need to add accent in the dreamcast version

 

Maybe you need to add it to yourself

 

I think I found in the SYS.AFS file where I can add the accent.. but I don't know if I can add the letter direcly ^^

 

Yes a font file that's it, sorry it's my fault
We are trying this software crystaltale2. I have this with the file of dragon it looks I have not opened the grandia 2 font file...

It looks is in the sys.afs if I read well your picture ? I can't zoom correctly.

We have learn there is probably a problem of ram adress (locate ?) who trains the french afs to crash in a real dreamcast... And run with nulldc...
Do you think it's possible to import the french text in an original english text file with correct pointers and length and keep the correct adress ram for dreamcast ?
Which data we have to change ? The length ?

I have to try.

 

rc4 play this game

.- Grandia II (eu) no problem, but works only from 0x8cff0000
.- Grandia II (jp) no problem, works from 0x8cff0000

I don't know if the structure of French, as you said just é - à - è - ô etc... so if you can modify the font file

The use of CT2, first you have to unpack the AFS file, the AFS file is, just a packing way, you have to break out of the file,




ps：i not open this line http://www31.zippyshare.com/v/3h8prmC6/file.html

 

this is pvr file，no font file

 

Ok So for you it's the file 3 in SYS.AFS

So it's this file :
http://www1.zippyshare.com/v/Qj6mwzav/file.html

But ..it's impossible to see anything for me ..

it's the SYS.AFS decompressed,there is 18 files.. and you you have 17 files.. strange !!

Thanks now I know how use the CT2

The file you are showing is not the inside the sys.afs file ? I have opened the 03 and I have this :


What AFS file is it please ?
Sorry to be ignorant lol

Thanks again for all, you have help us a lot :

I have copy and paste the lenght "area" you have shown from the pc fr file to the dreamcast 01.l62c english file and the french text more the pointer like this :


and

to :


it has works ! this file in now in french on a real dreamcast But I don't found the ram adress, and I don't know how those numbers and pointers are calulated. They must be have some formula for this.

Anyway all the pc afs translated in french can be import in dreamcast now :-D

 

sorry,i not open it

 

upload french sys.afs ....


ps:
But I don't found the ram adress, and I don't know how those numbers and pointers are calulated. They must be have some formula for this.

I don't understand what you're saying....

 

Someone tell us this in a french forum :

the processor of an original console is stricter than an emulator most of the time, the freeze comes from an instruction of the program that the processor can not execute because there is a data that it does not arrive not understand. The problem most of the time comes from memory misalignment for some processors.
PC processors do not care about alignment, so your problem could come from there on Dreamcast.

But don't worry about the difference between computer and dreamcast text afs.
I use a new tool for dumping the text and it work. And it's a very good new
So we can focus on the sys.afs and font file

So the problem is the font file in the sys.afs french. Here :

please have a look.

 

Alignment issues really need to be noticed, and generally 4 byte alignment is fine (%4=0)

Text alignment requires 8 byte alignment (%8=0) because of the need for x8



Font display method seems to be the same, are 24x24 got 1bpp font
