ROM Hacking Discussion / Gate of Thunder Force

« on: January 25, 2022, 05:11:27 am »

The patch is available here: https://www.romhacking.net/hacks/127/

The original website of the creator is gone now. I found an archive dot org copy of it here: https://web.archive.org/web/20090804075759/http://www.pcedev.net/hacks.html

The original website and this thread mention a replacement soundtrack - Would anyone still have the files for this?

Thank you in advance, love the game series

ROM Hacking Discussion / Super Soukoban patching question

« on: December 20, 2017, 06:03:29 pm »

There is a translation patch for Super Soukoban located here: https://www.romhacking.net/translations/3313/

Is there anyone who has successfully gotten this patch to work?

Can you please provide me with any further details? I was using a rom with crc32 a9f78e92 and then added a header, which changed the crc32 to 345f9e25 but it fails to patch in "beat" patcher as well as MultiPatch. MultiPatch complains that the rom is too small to be patched even with the header.

ROM Hacking Discussion / Batch-patch creation

I have a few hundred modified roms and their accompanying unmodified rom. Is there a script and tool out there for the batch creation of IPS (or APS) patches?

Newcomer's Board / Seeking the "ipins" utility for patching Ninpen Manmaru (Saturn)

« on: January 08, 2017, 04:41:42 pm »

There is an "unfinished" saturn translation patch entry for Ninpen Manmaru: http://www.romhacking.net/translations/274/
I just submitted two requests to update the game and translation patch info but this is a fairly old one now, coming from 2001 and the instructions for patching are only accessible at archive.org: http://web.archive.org/web/20020105004548/http://www16.brinkster.com/ninpen/PIY.html

These instructions (step 5) reference a utility called "Ipins.zip" and archive.org does not have a cached copy so I'm wondering if anyone here knows anything about it or has a copy. I searched about on google/bing/etc and nothing has surfaced yet.

I'm trying to get this game patched so that I can test it out as it appears that it may be "fully playable" already

EDIT: it also specifies in the patching instructions on archive.org that you can use a hex editor in place of "ipins" - so ipins could simply be a diff-patcher ?

Newcomer's Board / How would I extract data from an ISO with only some offsets?

« on: November 25, 2016, 05:39:26 pm »

My question is in regards to the following hack for the TuroGrafx-CD game "Human Sports Festival"
http://www.romhacking.net/hacks/3174/

It is to extra a rom file (.pce?) from the ISO of this game. I would then apply a different patch to translate the game to English but I am stuck on how to actually extract this data. The readme for this does provide me with a pair of offsets, a range, of data to be extracted from the iso file itself.

"from offset 0x1e1000 to 0x221000 in Track02.iso"

Gaming Discussion / Dicing Knight. - Will not load after patching with English

« on: May 31, 2015, 09:48:00 pm »

I heard a lot of great things about this WonderSwan Color game and found out there was an English translation patch done by AGTP - I got it together and it just throws up a grey screen on the emulators (Mednafen and Oswan).

Here is the patch on RH: http://www.romhacking.net/translations/1073/

Since I know those two emulators are not related to each other I then tried three different patchers (MultiPatch, Lunar and Ninja) and I am still getting a grey screen.

I was wondering if anyone here has experience with this particular WonderSwan Color game and patching it to English.
The md5 checksum I am getting after patching is consistently: 80d68dcb25f27438f08f79284a7ccc3e

Thank you for your help and time!

Gaming Discussion / Trouble with two SNES translation patches

« on: December 18, 2014, 12:43:36 am »

The two games that I have applied the patches for are:
Dragon Ball Z - Super Saiya Densetsu (J) (V1.1) ---- MD5 = 0fa7887f1bcde2dd207e20d782092607
Feda - The Emblem of Justice (J) ---- MD5 = 1bfbb1c174b6e7362af678dd584ba324

The patches themselves are located here:
http://www.romhacking.net/translations/326/ - Dragon ball z patch very 1.01 by Klepto Software
http://www.romhacking.net/translations/349/ - Feda patch version 1.02 by Magic Destiny and Stealth Translations

Neither have successfully loaded up in any emulator that I have tried (higan, old version of bsnes, snes9x). I am wondering if anyone has ever gotten these patches to load for them and what emulators/system were in use. Alternatively, is there another version of translations for these games that do exist?

I read the rules for the forum (http://www.romhacking.net/forum/index.php/topic,370.0.html) and I am confident that this post is safe. I am not request any "patched roms" or anything like that. Just looking to discuss the translation patches for these two games.

FYI - I have been able to load literally hundreds of other patched games on these emulators. I am currently testing every game that I have translation patches for and these are the only two for SNES that will not load at all.
