Again I can't answer that, LostOkina did the FMV subs long before I picked up the project. Will pass it on
Hey there, great job completing the translation! I just wanted to point out that there's no need to replace/re-encode the PS1 FMVs to hardsub them, you can use jPSXdec to only inject the hardsubbed frames, and such edits would increase the patch size merely by a small margin, too. Also, since it's kind of the same topic anyway, a few criticisms regarding the video subtitles:
- None of the sentences end with periods for some reason. Why?
- The lines aren't timed to keyframes. I know that most people don't care or notice this kind of thing, but this small detail really makes the subtitles feel professional when addressed.
Have the strange Level Design solutions in the last zone been fixed? Because I remember that the swing works strangely there and without Super Form it is not passable
That's what I was guessing about the checksum, the ISO I got that worked was a good clone from the disc, even if the error popoed out.
I checked my ISO with the Redump.org and the checksum did not match, This means my ISO wasn't cloned properly from physical CD. if you patch without checking it should work by the way
The FMVs are letterboxed in the original game too, I don't think anything can be done about that, sorry. LostOkina subbed the FMVs, I think he didn't bother with the intro (and the circus cutscene) because there's only 1-2 words in them ("Gilbert", "Narcia", and "Awesome") and replacing them entirely just to sub them would increase the patch file size for that disc greatly for little gain. Will bring it up. Yes, I had to trim dialogue in a few spots due to character/memory space limitations (those screenshots aren't examples though, will tweak their translation in an update). The English font used was already in the game so it was easy and better just to use that over completely replacing it like had to be done for the 1st game. Thanks for the feedback.
I tried again with another .ISO which had more files than just a .bin and got the error pop-up once more but, it worked, I don't know why?
Thank you for the comment, but this hack was not made by me, also it's pretty old considering it dates back to 2006.
I really appreciate this work, i'm just kind of sad because usually we make 60hz patches for better games, and there's the need for 50 hz patches because developer laziness (or time constraint). That's really odd.

If you need a mirror for the patch besides Mega, isn't it at least uploaded to this very website already? Btw, multiup is not a great suggestion. Don't expect anything uploaded though burner uploading services to actually last.
