Full English patch for "Super Puzzle Fighter 2X" (updated to v1.1).

[ateam]

UPDATE 2023-06-10:
I overlooked translating the VMU save file metadata into English! I've since updated the patch to v1.1, and the links below will take you to the updated builds.
________________________________________________

This English translation patch combines the original status/information message translation by comradesnarky from ReviveDC, along with a brand-new hack that leverages the game's secret built-in language selector to bring players a 100% complete English-language experience out of the box (sans text/graphics related to network play). A special thanks to Spike for pointing out the existence of the secret language-selection menu, which provided a foundation for modifying the game to default to English, rather than Japanese.

Wooooohooo! Thanks a lot!
I've been waiting for this to happen for a long time.

Do you know, if there is something similar for "Super STREET Fighter II" as well? A secret language selector? AFAIK ingame text for that is still Japanese, isn't it?

I took a quick look and didn't see anything, but I didn't dive deeply at all yet. I'll likely look more at a later date.

Another awesome ateam release!
Here's a space saving shrunk version of the GDI to test. Works on demul.

Thank you so much for this! I tried a few times to patch my own copy but I keep encountering a "The selected DCP patch file is corrupt or incompatible." I LOVE Puzzle Fighter and am excited to play it again!

Side note, I already shared the patched GDI and CDI in this post.

Regarding the error: very strange. The patch has been tested by many. It's possible that your anti-virus is flagging a false-positive of one of the helper utilities in the "tools" folder. If one of them gets automatically deleted by your anti-virus, Universal Dreamcast Patcher will throw an error on launch, saying which is missing. If it's not been deleted, it may still be blocked. You can right click each EXE in the "tools" folder, select Properties, then check to see if there's a Block/Unblock checkbox at the bottom-right of the properties window.

If that's not the culprit, are you able to tell me the hash for your DCP file? I don't care what algorithm, maybe MD5 will be easiest. It should match these.

Code: Select all

You can use the following PowerShell command to get the MD5, by the way:

Get-FileHash -Path 'C:\full\path\to\Super Puzzle Fighter 2X (English - v1.1).dcp' -Algorithm MD5
