FF7 Tools / Re: [PS/PC] FF7 Steam Translation to FF7 PS1

Taking advantage of your post, I come to instruct you things I discovered:

MassIsoUpdate: I don't know if using this program to import files larger than the original in an iso would cause bugs when playing on the real console.
Makou Reactor: When using the program to use in relation to the PSX / PS1, be careful when doing a lot of editing and saving the iso. Never do that. Always export the Field.dat file and test if it is bigger than the original, then yes, you use the MassIsoUpdate program at your own risk of causing a bug in the iso playing on the real console.

If you have any success playing the iso, having used MassIsoUpdate to import Fields.dat files larger than the original and not causing any bugs, none at all, let me know in the comments or via PM, why it helps me and helps several people.

I'm asking this, because at the moment I don't have a PS1 at home to test my iso with files larger than the original.

Sorry for the late reply. I'll be glad to say that sometimes MassIsoUpdate works, sometimes it doesn't. Just to be safe, I decided to use CDMage and I need to import the .DAT files one by one which took me 35+ minutes for 1 disc (787 items total). (Alt+Shift+F > select file > Enter > (Enter again if asking to overwrite) > Enter to click OK > Down Arrow > repeat)

Also I'm experimenting "ff7tools" by cebix and it really helped me a lot when extracting and editing the MENU files. My only issue is that I cannot extract the FIELD that I used to edit and the BATTLE.X which contains the "FF7 Damage Break by ARM" so I can fix the "Off course! No, way!". Extracting the files worked for Clean ISO, Final Proofreading VII, and Shinra Archaeology Cut.

I tried it just now but every time I edit that part gives me error.

I guess I should've ignored the error back then since I finally fixed the "Attack while it's tail's up!" issue.

Sorry for the late reply, been busy to school works.

The data in the photo that was corrupted was md8_b2 and yeah when I checked it in the Makou Reactor, the pic disappeared.

So here's the Disc 2 b3 and it does not connect to the previous ones (Disc 2 b1 and b2) which means apply the patch to the clean Disc 2.

Found it and it was "semkin_8 - 422" and I also fixed the issue.

Dunno if this has been discussed elsewhere, But here are some issues I've found with this patch.

In Disc 2, I cannot go through that door, the game hangs and I get a black screen.


Also in Disc 2, a similar result going down that ladder, this time with a garbled screen on the other side.


In both cases I switched to the original version, navigated my way to the next available save point and then switched back to this patch. After that I was able to beat the game no problem. But keep in mind I didn't do everything. I just went from beginning to end as fast I could, so I don't know if there are other issues in other places.

Dunno how this can be related to the translation since there is no text in those areas, but there you go. Hopefully this can be fixed.

I tested this with the Bettle Mednafen and Duckstation cores on RetroArch. I didn't test it on standalone versions or real hardware.

Edit: Forgot to say but the other thing to fix, if possible, is the button names, so you don't get things like: "Switch", "PageUp", "PageDn".


Regards.

Thank you for the feedback and sorry for the late reply. Can you tell me the map area of the first pic? I only managed to locate the 2nd pic which is Sector 8, Underground (md8_b1 - 733) and I'll try to fix. Also do you still have your save file so I can so a trial and error to that area?

EDIT: I managed to fix the 2nd pic and reverted the original file with it. Still looking for the 1st pic.

Any time you fart around with a disc image you should always update the EDC/ECC. I have no idea if this is the cause of your troubles but it has been for me.

Thanks for this. I was only running the patched iso using ePSXe which runs fine but when I tried playing with Mednafen, it gave me error that the disc is too large but after using the EDC/ECC Recalculator, it ran fine. I'm currently at Gold Saucer Disc 1 to test any bugs.

Oh I forgot to put it there, the "This guy are sick" is fixed but I'm not sure about the "Off course" and "No, way". The thing that I cannot edit is the Battle Dialogue ("Attack while it's tail is up!").

Never mind. I sort of figured it out anyway.

Always apply the patch to an untouched/clean game file.

For those who want to play PS1 Version with clean translation from PC Steam, here it is.

Steam Translation Only (updated spells not included)
https://www.mediafire.com/file/i3lyu1e27orydj0/

EDIT:
v1.01 - EDC/ECC updated thanks to MysticLord
http://www.mediafire.com/file/fr3swwlsiat89to/
v1.02 - Fixed the known Disc 2 problems (so far) and changed the supposed PC controls into PS1
https://www.mediafire.com/file/42kh2zwewmyqzoi/
v1.02a - Fixed the "Attack while it's tail's up!" (My first time editing [BATTLE\SCENE.BIN] with ProudClod so I'm not sure if there will be issues.)
https://www.mediafire.com/file/tli0ju7lo2lmdlz/
v1.02b - Fixed the "Off course!" and "No, way!" in Battle Square. [BATTLE\BATTLE.X]
NOTE: This removes the Uncapped Damage so you cannot deal more damage above 9999.

Disc 2 b3: https://www.mediafire.com/file/m0fcr2yr0a3shlb/

What's in this patch:
MDef Bug Fix (Spirit Bug Fix)
Uncapped Damage
PC Steam Dialogues (well I improvised a few scripts like "C'mon newcomer. Follow me." into "C'mon rookie. Let's move." which is based on FF7 Remake old trailer.)
Updated Magic Spell Names (Cure2->Cura, Cure3->Curaga, Steel Blade Sword->Zantetsuken, Gunge Lance->Gungnir, etc.)

I haven't been able to test these out and I'm not sure if there are bugs since I imported the PC Steam dialogue using Mako Reactor and I edited the FIELD folder for Disc 1 only then used Mass ISO Update to replace the .DAT files from Disc 2 and 3.

I also made a thread at RomHacking just in case.

FF7 Tools / [PS/PC] FF7 Steam Translation to FF7 PS1

Is it possible to transfer the PC Steam text script to the PS1 game?
