Audiofiles are more than welcome to give this a go. This is beyond my current expertise.

			That's usually only going to work if you have really good high quality recordings. Which we don't really have here. We only have the low quality compressed versions from the games. And even then there's limits. The voices and delivery of the lines themselves are completely different between the two versions. Maria for example has a deeper voice on PS1 and speaks a lot more formally and theatrically. While in the PSP version she sounds a lot younger and doesn't speak with the same kind of tone. It would still be a pretty jarring change. It works in something like Mugen because they're just short little phrases that last only a second or two. These are full lines that go on for a longer period of time. So I'd imagine it would be a lot more noticeable in that sense.

			possible bug found: play on Yaba Sanshiro 3.4.2 - first visit to librarian - entering the room make all sound to turn off and dialog stuck at Librarian. Checked many times. Anyone encounter this one?

		Caesar007		Mar 21, 2021
			can't process any future - game stuck at this dialog

			possible bug found: play on Yaba Sanshiro 3.4.2 - when tried to make a save - game hangs.

			Haven't had a chance to try the patch, but given other people have completed without issue on patch v1.021, and that Yaba Sanshiro is the buggiest of the three popular Saturn emulators, I'd say try another more accurate emulator - Mednafen 1.26.1 or SSF PreviewVer R18

		Caesar007		Mar 21, 2021
			on Mednafen - everything is ok.

			The game runs fine on Yaba 3.4.2. The only thing: some textures are not hidden properly but it doesnt affect playability. I can save game without issue and visit the librarian

Hello all. So I feel really stupid asking how to do this. I can't get the patch to work. I downloaded everything, and have a .bin and .cue for the game. The "patch" download gives me a .SSP, and I can't figure out how to create the proper .xdelta file to create a writable image to make the english translated game. What am I doing wrong?

		Thebasspl4yer		Mar 27, 2021
			Thanks so much! I can't wait to play it!

I would not recommend using *pre-patched images, what should have been recommended was a link to Sega Saturn Patcher in the resources section which is the tool you use to apply the patch. You can download Sega Saturn Patcher here....

*: The link to that download has been removed. The problem with pre-patched images aside from the obvious reasons, is that there is no guarantee they are even up to date with the latest patches.

you do not create an xdelta, you simply load up the cue/bin with the patcher, add the patch file, and press build

			Just finished normal mode on Classic Boy emulator for Android. (Beetle Saturn plugin) No problems. Would like to point out one anomaly; the Dark Blade found in the Overhead River. (Inverted Caverns)

		Knight0fDragon		Mar 30, 2021
			Here is a hot fix, you need to use CDMage to apply it. Change is too small for an official release.

		Flupper		Mar 30, 2021
			Ah yes, I completely forgot about that. Hot fix takes care of the problem.

			Hey Knight0fDragon, thanks for the continued work. I had picked a version a few months ago and could see the quality work you had done. Now I am ready to pick the newest version, and play some more. So it is great to see that you have indeed made new changes and improvements ! On a personal note, something I would fix would be the effect of the stretching on the sprites and backgrounds. That's a lot of work, and probably a bit difficult. The effect of the stretching is very noticeable in places. For example, on stained glasses at some places, where you get bars that are 2 pixels wide instead of one. I believe a number of places could greatly benefit from this. Not too sure how to proceed for such changes.

		TrekkiesUnite118		Apr 12, 2021
			Unfortunately fixing that isn't as simple as just telling the system not to do it. All the graphics are pre-stretched to be wider and stored that way on the disc. You'd have to completely redo all the graphics, then redo the VDP2 tile maps to deal with the smaller tiles, then redo all the VDP1 commands to deal with the smaller sprite sizes. And that's not getting into the changes it would have on the collision detection. It's a lot of work and would require basically redoing the entire way the game draws things to pull it off correctly.

		cireza		Apr 12, 2021
			I am suggesting to alter the stretched graphics, to make them a bit better. They probably stretched them automatically, but with someone iterating on the stretched result, and giving a few touches here and there, we could improve the look while retaining the 320x240 aspect ration.

			you can always just play with your CRT to squeeze the horizontal on of your image lol
