[Master X]

Hello, Unknown Master here (aka Master X).

This time I'm bringing for everyone some GDI patchs, created using translation patches released here in RHDN. I was motived to do this after a request by a member called Seta, in the topic about Napple Tale's translation. I decided to download every patch to the games below and I verified that was possible to create GDI patchs for gamers who likes to play in a full GDI. Some patches was released in a zipped file, containing all translated files by translators and other patches I had to convert the CDI (after apply the patch) to GDI, extracting all modified files and replacing in original GDI from each game. To do this, I created a tool to help me in that processes, it checks and compares which files has differences between CDI and GDI, replacing all files automatically.

So, here are the GDI transation patchs for the following games, released only in Japan:

Napple Tale: Arsia in Daydream

Patch (612.95 MB): https://www.mediafire.com/file/yv913gpym3mdden/Napple_Tale_GDI_Patch.7z/file

Search for "Napple Tale - Arsia in Daydream v1.006 (2000)(Sega)(NTSC)(JP)[!].gdi" in the google to find the same GDI that I used to make the patch. If you wish, you can search for the original GDI hashes listed below to be sure that is the correct GDI. The patch has 612 MB size and it was compressed with 7-zip.

Apply this xdelta patch in the original "track03.bin" file from japanese GDI, with the following hashes:

CRC32: 3CE1154F
   MD5: F14F6C7797234F4CA40DACD727901E7C
SHA-1: AD658D40708F49D22BEEF2A0AB2237A2EC7C7E17

You should have now a patched "track03.bin" from japanese GDI, and now the file will have the following hashes:

CRC32: 1B9A87E6
   MD5: F698DFCBAE6873352895E81DEC097EC4
SHA-1: AE146A07911D77B15DB42DD9C3CD622314661B6D

If everything is ok, you can now enjoy the translation in a patched GDI.

Frame Gride

To apply any xdelta patch, you can use a tool named "Delta Patcher" or "Delta Patcher Lite". I used this tool to create the patches. You can download it here:

IMPORTANT NOTES:

- Just to be clear: I'm NOT the author of any translation and I'm NOT make part of any translation group. I'm just someone that made a GDI patch using the translated files from a patched CDI or using the zipped patch files released by the translators. The credit for each translation goes to original translators.

- All patches comes with "Readme" files, one file was written by me, other is an original Readme file released by translators with translation patches.

- I'll NOT fix any grammar errors, typo and something like that if you find them in a translation. Please, report the errors/issues/bugs like that to original translators, so they can make an update patch to fix them.

- I played the game in a real Dreamcast (Dreamshell and GDEMU), not in an emulator. All games worked perfectly until the end.

- You can optimize the GDI (see below) to save some space and use it with Dreamshell/Retrodream. In fact, I use only optimized GDI.

- Only the edited files used in the translation were replaced in GDI. All other files remains untouched, preserving the maximum original files.

- Not even a single byte of any translation was changed. The translation is exactly the same provided by the original translators.

EXTRA FOR DREAMSHELL USERS:

The games Frame Gride and Napple Tale works without GDI optimization. However, Karous and Nanatsu no Hikan needs to be optimized to work properly in Dreamshell. Download ISO Make Pack v2.4 from here:

http://www.dc-swat.ru/download/dc/ds/4.0/ISO_Make_pack_v2.4.7z

To optimize the game, you just have to put "sys" folder and "optimize_gdi.bat" in the same directory where your GDI image is located. Run optimize_gdi.bat and wait for optimization (this process can save some space, but the GDI will not be downsampled). The *.bin files will be converted and optimized to *.iso. The *.gdi file will be renamed to "optimized_gdi.gdi", so you'll have to rename it again to a more friendly name. Oh, and the optimized GDI files works on emulators too (nullDC, Demul, etc).

Here are the settings for Dreamshell (ISO Loader) to play each game:

Napple Tale: Arsia in Daydream

Optimize: Optional, but highly recommended.
Loader Version: 0.6.0
Loader Settings:

   Optimized GDI:
   
   Boot: IP.BIN(CUT)
   Memory: 0xCFE8000
   DMA: On
   Sync: True
   CDDA: Off
   OS: Auto
   
   Normal GDI:
   
   Boot: IP.BIN
   Memory: 0xCFE8000
   DMA: Off
   Sync: 8
   CDDA: Off
   OS: Auto

Frame Gride

Optimize: Optional.
Loader Version: 0.6.0
Loader Settings:

   Boot: DIRECT
   Memory: 0x8C004000
   DMA: Off
   Sync: 8
   CDDA: Off
   OS: Auto

Karous

Optimize: Yes. This game works in Dreamshell only if it's optimized.
Loader Version: 0.6.0
Loader Settings:

   Boot: DIRECT
   Memory: 0x8C004000
   DMA: On
   Sync: True
   CDDA: Off
   OS: Auto

Nanatsu no Hikan: Senritsu no Bishou

Optimize: Yes. This game works in Dreamshell only if it's optimized.
Loader Version: 0.6.0
Loader Settings:

   Boot: DIRECT
   Memory: 0x8C004000
   DMA: On
   Sync: True
   CDDA: Off
   OS: Auto

For GDEmu/USBGDROM users, just select the GDI and play! You can optimize the GDI if you want, but isn't really necessary for these ODEs.

SPECIAL THANKS:

Special thanks to Seta, his request motived me to make the GDI patches.
Special thanks to Napple Tale's translators.
Special thanks to Frame Gride's translators.

Thanks a lot for your hard work !

This is rad.  Karous went from 984MB to 89,8MB. (Optimized and compressed in .chd)

Did you make all the tools in ISO Make Pack? I'm curious about how you created these patches, and what does "optimize_gdi" optimize, exactly.
