1. The GDI image with VGA fix provided by japanese-cake doesn't have "VGA support" checked within the IP.BIN. So, although VGA is fixed, it just won't boot on real hardware. Solution: alter the IP.BIN using IPBIN4WIN.exe before rebuilding the GDI image, check "VGA BOX supported" and press "Patch". Also, this version isn't translated...

2. The patch files of the English translation ( https://www.mediafire.com/file/dpvpoupq ... 1.zip/file ) have all the .SFD movies downsampled and re-encoded in order to have the game fitting on a regular CD-R. Since these movies don't contain any Japanese text or dialogue, there's no need to use these lower quality files for a GDI image. Solution: don't copy over ALL of the files. Leave out 0GDTEX.PVR, 101.BIN and the whole folder DATA\MOVIES and you'll be fine.
gdmenu doesn't do VGA patching on this game like it can with some other GDI's?

Do you think there will be a fully ready to go GDI with English, not downsampled FMVs, and VGA patch playable on real hardware any time soon?

im not good at keeping up with this stuff...

also looking for more feedback on the game for people who have played it!

Well, I have built a fully patched GDI. The notes were written while I've been going through and testing different approaches. It's been successfully tested with USB-GDROM (I don't have a GDemu) and VGA as well as RGB. If there's anybody, who would volunteer for uploading it to MEGA (or something similar lasting)? I don't have an account over there...

I played it on my NTSC/U Dreamcast original non-modded console with the link fafadou gave me. I burned it on a CD-R and used a VGA cable successfully.

@streeker could you share your gdi with no downsampling version even temporary ?
Probably someone can save it for others.
