Raw Danger! UNDUB patch

PlayStation 2 · copypaste-kyun

The old undub patch by emuler had a few technical issues: Busted SFX audio with incorrect or non-functional playback due to copy-pasted sound banks from the demo versions of the game, which are halfway-incompatible with the retail versions. Copy-pasted streamed audio from the demo versions of the game over the retail version's Japanese voice clips, resulting in inconsistent cast for some characters and random up-pitched voice clips. Wholesale copy-pasted Japanese textures and archives containing textures & models, including the text embedded into said textures; Sophia/Ryouko has incorrect hair texture as well. This undub addresses all of the issues listed above by using retail JP sound banks (with only one sound bank needed to be edited to mute a single English-exclusive voice clip), adding retail JP streamed audio to the NA/EU audio archive that was expanded to include JP-exclusive entries (6 Engish-exclusive voice clips had to be made mute), and selectively carrying over Japanese textures only to restore character and some item appearances (the few renamed textures in the localised versions of the game were matched with their Japanese counterparts, too). The old undub patch also resulted in an ESR-converted ISO, which is not the case here of course. And there's also a patch available for the superior European version of the game now, as the North American version is capped at just 20 FPS. None of the character and location names were de-localised, nor did the censored scenes were uncensored. Sorry about that. The reason being that there's just not enough space in the executable & nasty "MWo3" module-binary hybrid files to fit quite a few names, and I'm completely clueless about the censored stuff. I would've loved to de-localise the game, but it's beyond what I can do, so restored JP character looks is all you get here. Apply the U patch to a Redump-compliant North American ISO CRC32: 740635AB | MD5: BD7F5530C33AE2B792C5FAA4868B1124 Apply the E patch to a Redump-compliant European ISO CRC32: DC7CC8B2 MD5: 19007978F351F779F7BB2B439044EAE0 ※ It takes around 50-60 minutes for these patches to apply! If anyone have suggestions to optimise these abnormal patches to apply faster, please let me know. ※ Regarding the compatibility with the essential NTSC Mode patch by Souzooka for the European version of the game: NTSC Mode is already bunded with the European undub, just not the " NTSC Mode + Performance " version that is recommended for use with emulators. To apply the Performance hack separately, you can open the undubbed ISO in a hex editor, search for this sequence of bytes: 50FFBD27 2D780000 and replace it with this one: 0800E003 00000000 ...Or you can add a toggleable Performance hack to PCSX2 patches and have it accessible from the game's properties by creating SLES-54587_A98B5AD6.pnach file at ...\PCSX2\patches\ and pasting this text into it: [Performance Hack] author=Souzooka comment=Removes a problematic colorgrading filter effect which causes an incredible performance increase on both software and hardware rendering modes. patch=0,EE,202283C0,extended,03E00008 patch=0,EE,202283C4,extended,00000000 ...Alternatively, you can just apply the NTSC Mode + Performance & undub patches in whichever order on top of one another with checksum verification disabled (it's a checkbox in Delta Patcher / or use the -n argument in xdelta3 CLI).
