    First of all, I'm not sure whether the French version uses this font, but the Japanese and Chinese versions are using this font, look at the picture, I guess perhaps the use of the BISO font, you can modify the BIOS font in try ~!

    bios file,Attention address

    Sorry to bother you again, I try to do all I can by myself. I'm in front of the wall of misunderstanding...

    You mean by dc_boot.bin, the 1st_read.bin ? We try to enter the same settings like you with it. And we think we have checked all files in the game data.

    Here what I have :

    We try a lot of settings, I guess there is something when I look carrefully the matrix. But I don't find the good ones.

    May you can help us again ?

    Just found this in the XLS_DATA.AFS the ninth files inside !

    I try to locate the ê, there is a blank in the font file :)
    here just for see I can replace it :

    [​IMG]

    Thanks for all yzb :). I have just to found the good place in the font file. I continue to post some pictures.

    @truemaster : I think it's maybe the same think in the RECVX project, we must find the font in the datas and replace it. The best is to locate it in the japanese complete games in order to have european letters since kanji and correct the space problem between letters.

    @ yzb37859365,

    What you use for modify the text? You have a software?

    Because extrac txt with gr2dump9 it's horrible.. it's like this:


    Code:
    <op09 value="08C0CC29"/>
    <ptr type="10" num="0000"/>
    <op08 value="244101"/>
    <ptr type="10" num="0001"/>
    <text>Um... hey,
    are you a Geohound?
    <new/>
    <portrait num="0000"/>What if I am?
    <new/>
    <portrait num="00FF"/>Aren't Geohounds known for being savage?
    You don't bathe, and you drink the blood
    of the monsters you slaughter, right?
    <new/>
    <portrait num="000D"/>Close. We bathe IN the blood of our kill.
    </text>{02}
    <ref type="10" num="0001"/>
    <op08 value="244102"/>
    <ptr type="10" num="0002"/>
    <text>Hey, Geohound guy!
    What does monster meat taste like anyway?
    <new/>
    <portrait num="0010"/>A lot like little kid. And I've been
    needing a bathe lately.
    <new/>
    <portrait num="00FF"/>Gross! You don't... eat kids... do you?
    <new/>
    <portrait num="000D"/>Not unless they're too nosy for their own
    good.
    </text>{02}
    <ref type="10" num="0002"/>
    <op08 value="24A103"/>
    <ptr type="10" num="0003"/>
    <text>Oh yeah? Geohounds are known to be huge
    liars too!
    <new/>
    <portrait num="0010"/>Ha! Liars is it? Yeah, maybe we are, kid.
    Or maybe we aren't. Maybe we tell the truth,
    but no one wants to hear it.
    <new/>
    <portrait num="000C"/>Ryudo! Children are impressionable!
    Stop filling his head with nonsense!
    <new/>
    <portrait num="0000"/>It doesn't matter. He'll believe what he
    wants to believe.

    No software, only a Japanese version of the program, can not be used in other versions

    a font file screen capture with accent.?

    accent??


    Sorry, because the source code is written with another friend, so it can't be shared. It's not software, it's just a program, and there are still some bug.

    But if you have any questions, ask me

    ah ok I just think about this picture you have share :
    But as said dragon we have almost finished to complete our font file with letters we need. But the last are not easy to find ^^ But we'll find them for sure.

    Your help is very much appreciated and your skill so impressive. Thanks again.

    Last question, do you know what the mgrp_seb.afs in the map folder might contain ?

    The text of this game is very complex, and even the text that our program makes is very messy.
    You need a friend who writes the program, or the game is very troublesome

    The picture is the font library in BIOS, the BIOS of the host, not the game file, and the nullDC_104_rev141\data\dc_boot.bin file in the simulator

    Mgrp_seb.afs is a sound and sound effect.

    Thanks for your advice.
