Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Though I (surprisingly) think the English voice work is quite good, this will give me an excuse to play this game yet again (for, what, the umpteenth time?). :D

I tried out the LayeredFS patch and there's a small "hitch" or "stutter" when entering certain battles or the Cathedral of Shadows, almost as if the game is waiting to load voice files.

Is this something you experienced/is to be expected? I tried out the patch with both EU and US versions of the .cia. on a N2DSXL.

Thank you for your work.

That's just a problem with LayeredFS in general, it increases loading times. If you don't want loading times you need to repack the rom.

Oh okay, I didn't know about that. Thanks for your work again, this undub is awesome. I'll google ways to repack the cia.

P.S.: I have successfully repacked the CIA with the 1.1 undub. Stutter is indeed gone. Going to play through the game now to check for any issues.

I experienced some severe stutters in the cutscene where the four archangels reveal themselves in the Shene Duque. Is this something that the patch could cause? Or most likely a cia repacking fuckup?

Updated the undub to new version, it's now in LayeredFS format and we've fixed one of the cutscenes that was previously bugged.
Will you upload the Apocalypse Undub in LayeredFS version too?
I would really appreciate it.

Any kind of stutters you might get are either bad rom repackaging (which I'm not supporting whatsoever), or possibly faulty microSD card.

I will but currently busy, check closer towards the end of the month.

What tool did you use to repack/unpack the CIA?

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    @Xdqwerty there is health behaviour you can add to your character, then to use a health bar is lil more complicated, google n watch a few tutorial video on it, be too hard to explain here.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @BigOnYa, the character has the health behavior
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I know you have to create a health and health max variable. Then there is a calculation you use in code to subtract width size of the health bar. Google few vids.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @BigOnYa, the "greenflatbar" is one of the preset health bars btw
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea you can use any bar/sprite. It will just change the width. Ok good luck and have fun. I'm off to go shoot some pool at the bar. Talk to you later.

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @BigOnYa, why does the health behavior exist if you can just use a variable?
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
