Radirgy Distorted Audio Repair + Misc Patch (Release)

[Riggles]

- Re-encoded BGM, clean music tracks sourced from the OST CD.
(Higher quality, no more distorted bass that plagues stage 5)
- Rebalanced SFX, no longer distorts or peaks, each sound has been individually tweaked.
- Stereo BGM playback enabled. (Thanks to Dakrk for finding the function)
(originally the game music would only play in mono)
- Optional orange border removal.
- Alpha cleanup. (Edge garbage pixels in the HUD and a few other elements)
- Wiredcrackpot's Wii Script English Patch baked in. (Optional Japanese patch)

Video comparing the improved audio with the original audio at the end.
Note that this is a video of v1 before the BGM stereo enabling function of v2.

Left to do: I'd like to make these same changes to the Naomi arcade release
which also suffers from the exact same low quality distorted
audio as the Dreamcast version.

Enjoy! :)

V2 (added stereo BGM enabling)
V3 (additional alpha cleanup, example picture provided)
+1 (new optional patch that increases the volume of the ABS alarm system as well as lowers the explosions
making it easier to hear this if you're playing with low volume or in a loud environment, apply it on top of anything v3 as the last step,
no need to reapply any other patches if you're on V3 already)

Just when wondering what else is there to do with the Dreamcast - then this project rolls in. Awesome!

[Riggles]

Update: Dakrk has found the function location for Stereo playback!
A fully stereo version should become available soon.

[Riggles]

Update v2: New google drive link, the game is now fully STEREO!
Now it's finally a definitive version of the game in all regards.

Added a new optional patch, calling it +1

Since some speaker setups may have the ABS alarm sound too low.

Is anybody else having trouble applying this last patch?

Try it again, I've had the Universal Dreamcast Patcher fail for no reason once before while making this, for some reason it seems that the patch builder spat out a bad patch.

Reuploaded it and tested this new one on my end without problems, like before, the new "4." lower explosions+louder abs patch should be working on top of any v3 patched game. Sorry about that.
