Vampire Chronicles: RGB fix

[legolas119]

Hi,

i'm looking for Vampire Chronicles for Sega Dreamcast already fixed with the RGB fix, in order to use it with RGB cable on my CRT instead of VGA. But i don't find it, every link is broken.
I found a patch, with 3 files: file_id.diz, adr-vamp.ppf, adr-vamp.nfo but i don't know how to apply it on my gdi image.

thank you

PPF it's gonna be PPF-O-Matic, I think it's very choosy very picky which image file you use, the other two are texts for you to read

Isn't the yzb v2 CDI the best Vampire Chronicles there is? I can't test RGB though, sorry

[legolas119]

thanks, i tried ppf-O-matic but it request an ISO file to be patched. But my Vampire Chronicles version ha sevferal .bin files:

https://i.postimg.cc/R0G0S4Xs/vampire2.png

I've just finished downloading the whole DC scene releases plus I've prob every YZB release as well.

FYI, there's no *nfo with the ERM repack so I don't know why they felt the need to repack it... unless they then applied the LBA and RGB patches to their version.

Will update with the link when it's all uploaded.

thanks!
Currenlty I have:

1) 09.06.00-Vampire_Chronicles_JAP_DC-ECHELON --> it includes the E-VAMPCR.CDI
2) 10.31.00-Vampire_Chronicles_RGB_Fix_JAP_DC-ADRENALIN --> it includes the ppf patch that i can apply with PPF-O-MATIC
3) 12.03.00-Vampire_Chronicles_LBA_Patch_DC-sebhan --> it includes another ppf patch
4) VAMPIRE_CHRONICLE_HACK_J_BY_YZB_V2.cdi
5) 01.31.01-Vampire_Chronicles_Repack_JAP_DC-ER --> it includes the ERM-vc-rpk.cdi

I didn't know the differences between every pack... I need a working version with GDEMU with RGB cable: which is the game image file and the fix that i have to apply? There are 3 different .cdi images and 2 fix but i don't know what i have to do...


Thank you very much

thanks! i'm downloading all the files. Well, i need a working version with GDEMU with RGB cable. Which are the game image file and the fix that i have to apply? I didn't know the differences between every pack... i see that there are 2 .zip pack with 716MB size, another .zip file of 324 MB and 2 little .zip files, one for the RGB fix and another one for another fix i suppose.

Thank you

If I was you and time/hassle wasn't an issue, I'd try the YZB version first. If it does everything you need it to then happy days. failing that, I'd patch the Echelon release with the LBA and RGB patches... just like you'd tried previously with PPF-O-Matic.

Pure curiosity would then lead me to try the repack and see if it works with no patches but you should get what you want from the other 2 I'd suspect.

YZB CDI's got to! Your first image to test

Remember optical drive emulators USB vs EMU vs MODE all the same they not exclusive GDI format will boot CDIs too

[legolas119]

yeah, it works!
1) I tried the YZB v2 version but it doens't work, there is the RGB issue.

2) Later i applied both the patches to the Echelon .cdi and it perfectly works!
3) Just for trying, I tried the Echelon without any patch and the game boot but there is only sound, no video.
4) I treied it with only the RGB patch and it perfetly works
5) I tried it with only the LBA patch and the game boot but there is only sound, no video.

Well, i don't know if both patch are necessary as i don't know for example what is LBA patch... in the .txt file there is this text:
11700 to 11702 Patch for Vampire Chronicles, JAP, ECHELON
Do you know what is it? Do you think that it coul be better only to apply the RGB fix? Or both?

I hope that my test can help others guys
