This is just a beta English patch to a supposedly partial English patch of
Initial D: Extreme Stage, that I have unfortunately put on hold and stopped
working on since 12/24/2014 due to some issues that I’ve never got hold of
the modified images a friend of mine was working on and got busy with my
other projects. I’m just releasing it now since some might have a use for
it and enjoy the game partially patched even though not completed and wont
just be wasted hiding privately on my pc.

I have not fully bug tested this since 2014 and just made a patch from my last
working backup and tested a bit. There are a lot of version of this game and
this patch is specifically for Initial D: Extreme Stage [BLJM60055]. Not sure
if I’m able to revive this project but I’ll try to have a look again and maybe
port it to the BLJM50053 version with is a much more common version of the
game and also have a IRD useful for verification of the integrity of the files.

Still in a active work in progress mode and will be move to finished project once released along with the patch. So please do drop by again.

Hello guys, I’ve created this site so I could move my dirty translation projects here, other console related hacks and also some things that’s going around inside my head.

Things are going smoothly as planned. Just minor cosmetic changes and grammatical corrections needed and a beta release might be released soon as I finished ironing stuffs out. I’ve been busy in real life because of the Christmas season, so it might get delayed.

So was testing if it’s possible to port the translation of Dragon quest builders from the PS vita to the Japanese PS3 version. But gave up on it for not working, but it turns out that the modded .psarc just won’t work on my 3k3y ODE and just works fine my friends Cobra ODE and CFW ps3.

– Finished making repacker to make my job much easier
– it seems that replacing a swizzled 2d image with a linear 2d image before converting it back to .gxt and repacking works.
– so it doesn’t matter what compression you used on the 2d texture as long as its supported by the psv and have the right dimension and alpha channels
– its safe to say all images are moldable and replaceable with another format.

– text looks fine, with a minor problem with spaces, maybe the unicode value for 0x2000 is not mapped in the font table.

– thought it was bug, but i just messed up and used too many line breaks

works on my shop pc i3, old NVidia, win7 pc
-hangs on my home pc i7, old AMD, win10 pc
-modded files works on ps3 emulator
-modded files hangs on ps3 ODE

How would I even start porting the English translation when I can’t even test it properly. After all the trouble coding an PS3/Vita phyre to image DDS extractor… Maybe modded files only work for CFW/JB?
