What's Shenmue English translation

Thanks to your help and Hykan's, 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.

 

Can't wait to see this its a shame I couldn't help with your last project when you messaged me at TiZ but its nice to finally see this!! Eagerly awaiting release

 

Hope this works out!

 

For posterity: the fix is basically to recreate exactly the same first session structure than the Hykan-labelled release. This means tracks order is important, but also their exact starting LBA. This probably means that the ip.bin implements hardcoded track addresses.

Somehow, either because of how mds4dc works or other strange reason (silence between tracks and stuff probably), using the GDI audio tracks or even the ones from the Hykan release didin't reproduced the same structure and it didn't worked.

Now, cutting some data from the end of tracks makes it have the same structure. It's ok as long as the removed data was silence. Else it should be wise to recreate the 1st session by burning with proper settings to avoid zeropadding between tracks and preserve all audio. Though this may not be compatible with mds4dc and problematic for releasing a translation with a patcher.

Cheers!

Small status update: Patcher's already done. Right now I'm trying to find some code stuff (X/Y positions and scale of GUI items, such as loadings or menus), but it's like looking for a needle in a haystack. I've found some relevant data but it's a slow process. If anyone here knows how to catch this information, please contact me.

 

Soon finished?？？

 

Still work to do.

 

Here's a sneak peek of what we've been working on over the last months. We still have issues modifying the menus and other areas, so we're looking for additional romhackers.

 

The patch has been released: Now What's Shenmue is translated into English, Spanish and German.

Well, that was fast.

 

Thanks for this great project!


Is that me or What's Shen Mue seem to have better textures than the regular Shen Mue release? Even playing on the same console and TV I feel that What's has higher resolution for textures.

 

Very good, if there is need to modify what the next place, you can PM me, I can modify on this basis.....

 

Cheers on a nice release!

I'm confused Shenmue is already in English or am I missing something?

Never mind, it's the demo/pre order bonus lol

 

Awesome project, thanks!
