Puyo Puyo~n English Translation Patch by Precise Museum v1.0 ---- This patch supports the GDI version of the game and a CDI version of the game. Emulator users should use a GDI. How to Patch a GDI Version of the Game -------------------------------------- On Windows: Use Universal Dreamcast Patcher, your GDI, and the .dcp file included with this patch. The rest should be self-explanatory. Download Universal Dreamcast Patcher here: https://github.com/DerekPascarella/UniversalDreamcastPatcher/releases/ Get the regular zip, not the source code. On GNU/Linux: Look inside of the included posix.tar.xz file for software and instructions. On Mac: The GNU/Linux patching program should work on macOS, but it's untested and will be a hassle to set up if you're not used to downloading and running source code. You're on your own if you want to try. Alternatively, you can patch a CDI version of the game and use it on an emulator. See the next section. How to Patch a CDI Version of the Game -------------------------------------- To make things easier, we do not generate a brand new CDI. An existing CDI is patched, instead. 1. Get a version of the game in CDI format. There are a few variants and you need a specific one. If you have the wrong file, the tool will refuse to patch it, so there's no harm in trying. Here are a few checksums if you want to verify ahead of time anyway: crc32: b1ea841b md5sum: dd936022d42604f6746ca5df2848c992 sha256sum: 6ab5f6e8323cb5ab80fe423e8e855d87d7afbea344f94a2e27716fed74a37b4d 2. Download a program that can apply Xdelta patches. For Windows: https://www.romhacking.net/utilities/704/ That program will work. If you want to use a different one, know that /very/ old versions of Xdelta won't work. For GNU/Linux: https://github.com/jmacd/xdelta Compile it yourself. For Mac: https://projects.sappharad.com/multipatch/ You may need to rename `cdipatch.xdelta' to `cdipatch.delta' in order to select the file. 3. Apply the `cdipatch.delta' patch file to the CDI file using the program. Both the original CDI and the modified one are 781 MiB. That is small enough for an 80minute/"700Mib" CD-R. Look elsewhere for a tutorial on how to burn and play CDI files on real hardware. NOTE: There is a rare bug when playing the CDI on real hardware that may cause the BGM to play other tracks before looping. Patch Changelog --------------- v1.0 - (You are here) Initial release
