[ ] Port the PS2 sprites
Should be easy, but tedious. You have to extract each sprite and rename it to the correct match for Mangagamer's, then run them through alpha.exe from bgitools and place them on your higurashi dir. I won't do it because I like R07 sprites better, so good luck to the next Anon.

Where's the PS2 music patch?

>>3916482
I don't have the PS2 music tracks. If you have them, post them so they can be converted.

>>3916472
Nice, I can't wait to read it.

Sweet you are amazing. Taking the ui and font patch. Not sure which music patch I want yet. I'm hoping someone has the patience for the voices.

Someone tried the music patch?

Don't want to be a dick, but we got trolled before

i cant see the menu, so i cant save. it doesnt work for me

>>3916516
I don't think a voice patch is necessary unless the voices are really good.

>>3916531

What patch?

If you are talking about "Hide ugly UI" you have to change the setting in the start menu.

>>3916531
>Be sure to set the right-click function to show menu instead of hide frame."

>Yukari Tamura

>>3916535

anime voices?

>>3916491
I have the official (as in, not extracted from the iso) ps2 OST, but replacing the songs would be tedious. As far as I know the soundtracks are absolutely different so you'd have to know when does every song play in the ps2 version.

>>3916520
I want to know too.
Does the Himatsubushi-hen music patch work?

>>3916520
OP here. It works, believe me, and it was quite tiring and time consuming to do, but I couldn't play without it.
Remember h4lp.7z is the full soundtrack, demolp.7z is only for chapter 1. You can combine both if you want, applying demolp after h4lp. To clarify, if you plan to play eps 2 to 4, you NEED h4lp, demolp won't cut it, as it only replaces some tracks.
Extract the patches in the higurashi folder.
The names may sound suspcious, but lp is just the way r07 named higurashi BGM folder.

>>3916543
I don't think I could ignore that but wouldn't the PS2 version have some different dialogue?

man, the musics of the demo were awesome.. the MG ones are very shitty.. and there's one sound efect (in the shocking scenes) that is REALLY Annoying.

Thanks OP! Patches work 100%, no viruses (:

>>3916520
>>3916561
Seems to be fine. I don't know if the right songs are supposed to be playing at the right time, but it did change fine.

>>3916562
Forgot to mention, extract them so all the files sit besides BGI.exe, in the higurashi root folder. I just noticed I zipped them in folders, so don't use them. The higurashi folder should only have a subfolder called UserData.

Anon, you know why I love you

Awesome work anon

I wonder if anyone is going to make a sound effects patch

>>3916566
Sound effects were not replaced, only music and ambient sound (higurashi, etc), but you can do it if you want, if you figure out the correct way to rename the original files to match the lsysXY files in data2000.arc. If you extract 0.txt from the script with AnimeED in the original japanese Higurashi files there may be a list like there was for music. Then you need to convert using bgitools. Be careful, bwcreate doesn't like all oggs, I had to use 3 different converters.

>>3916593

THIS.

Archive this.

>>3916593
Someone should make a patch that replaces all SFX with ahaha.wav

Sound effect patch would be awesome, I hate the new river noises.

Also, is there anyway to use Auto with the UI patch?

>>3916569
Well if Derek approves, then I guess these patches are legit.

And what's the deal with the bgm patch in work? What does it change? Just add the tracks that had to be removed or replace the good music with shitty doujin tracks?

>>3916471
stop spamming ur shitty clone boards on ａ ｎ o ｎ t ａ ｌ ｋ . com

>>3916642
Are you blind? it's all explained in the op.

>>3916642
If you're wondering wheter it removes the KAI music or not, YES it does. I'll hear those tracks when I play KAI. Besides, KAI music is "shitty" doujin music too. Did you even bother to listen to both soundtracks?

>>3916471
stop spamming ur shitty clone boards on ａ ｎ o ｎ t ａ ｌ ｋ . com

Are there plans to make a patch to fix the grammar issues? It'd be tedious as hell, admittedly, but it's the biggest problem I have with Mangagamer's release. Unless Mangagamer decides to do it themselves it should be done sooner or later.

>>3916642
its gets rid of this shit here

>>3916682
The problem lies beyond the translation.

>- http://www.mediafire.com/?dhuunoxtinz (Himatsubushi-hen version, full 4 chapters)

I love you anon from spain , this was the ones i wanted

>>3916675
What the heck is KAI music?
>>3916660
No it isn't.

So to explain this all, mangagamer removed some doijin tracks, right? So did they just replaced these scenes with other tracks or did they add something completely different?
And what is the first bgm patch changing then? The removed doujin tracks from mangagamer and the rest will be the same?

Downloaded the hell out of the font change, now to play the waiting game with an anon patient enough to go through all those sprites.

>>3916692
I'm not talking about the occasional awkward sentence, I'm talking about the verb misconjugations and other basic, easily fixable grammar problems.

>>3916704
I'm personally waiting until the sprite change patch to get the game.

[ ] PS2 sprite
[ ] PS2 Voice patch
[ ] SFX

Work harder, thanks!

Any way to use Auto function with UI patch?

>>3916704
why do you want shittier sprites?

Everything works really well. Thanks Anon

Thanks, anon! This should make it more enjoyable.

i can't really wait for some anon to do the sprites patch, i really like the PS2 sprites much more

>>3916730
Dude it's 1100 sprites they have to go through. Give it to the weekend.

>>3916721
Seriously. I wonder how long it will be until someone releases a "proofread script" patch.

Mangagamer really needs to hire a native English speaker.

I love you OP.

>>3916757
>implying there are sprites shittier than the original
I'm asking for the PS2 sprites, not stick figures.

>>3916782

the names are different?

>>3916703
Are you being dense on purpose?
Higurashi had X tracks.
Mangagamer could not use those tracks.
The had Y tracks from KAI (or REI, I'm not sure)
KAI is another arc in the series (episodes 5-8)
Y <<<< X (in number, quality is the same, both are doujin tracks)
So they went and used like 15-20 tracks from a latter arc tracks to replace ALL tracks from the first games (35 aprox.). Resulting in a lot of duplicate tracks, so in the game when the song should change, a lot of times it does not, because both old tracks were replaced by the same new one.
And of course you won't get to listen to the real soundtrack, which is different, and if you've heard the two, the quality is similar, both are doujin music.

>>3916682
Cool story Jast dev but beside you nobody seems to have any problems. Do you read that?

all the patches are compatible with each other right?

For the music tracks, do you keep them in the folder or not?

>>3916827
No, read the thread

>>3916793
Why the hell should I know, I'm not one of those fags who read FAQS and summaries of games they did not play. I don't even know what the heck is going on in Higurashi and obviously didn't watch the anime.

>And of course you won't get to listen to the real soundtrack, which is different
Hoo and what's this 'real soundtrack' then, if not the OSTs of the game(s)?

>>3916824

yes

>>3916802
I've seen a lot of criticism about the grammar MG dev.

Thank you.

font looks much better, thanks

About the voice patch, from what I know of Onikakushi, the voice actors are better than in the anime and it's funnier to read with them, really K1 is manly with voice

Are there any tracks in Higurashi that are as good as Umineko?

>>3916876
yes.

>>3916876
You, You Destructive, but of course they don't appear until Kai. The original soundtrack is pretty bad. There are a few great tracks in the PS2 game though.

Can anyone show me a screenshot of higurashi with the fonthack installed, I'm not sure if i got it right
THX

>>3916876
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9FKGwkj0YFw

n00b question:

i only need to put the files into the higurashiwhenthey cry folder? all i get are zip files i can't even extract

>>3916885
This, they are in youtube, and voiced many times

>>3916878
>>3916876
On which soundtrack?

>>3916867
>the voice actors are better than in the anime
But it's the same voice actors.

>>3916908
What I want to say it's that, since they knew more about their characters, they put more effort and sound actually better

>>3916867
>the voice actors are better than in the anime
they're the same, dude!

>>3916912
Ah, that makes sense. I hear the Umineko voicing is terrible despite having some great voice actors, probably the same problem there.

>>3916908
>>3916915
lrn2read, I said I had played the Onikakushi patch so of course I know they're the same

>>3916895
Use http://www.7-zip.org/ and extract all the files to your higurashiwhentheycry folder. Your higurashiwhentheycry folder should be chock full of files without extension if you did it right.

>>3916915
>>3916908
Maybe he meant PERFORMANCE wise?

>>3916929
THX to the intelligent anon, congrats, you're one of a kind

>>3916924
it doesn't work, damn

they're all .arc files

>>3916472
>Font patch
>Ugly UI patch
>Music with demo version chapter 1 patch
HELL YES

So if you use the Himatsubushi BGM patch then apply the demo BGM patch, you'll have the BGM in Onikakushi be the same as what is in the demo, but all the other chapters will retain their original BGM as heard in Himatsubushi?

http://www.mediafire.com/?xkziyrtzxyb

Here's the Higurashi Matsuri OST if anyone needs it.

>>3916961
You need to extract the .rars and the .7zs. Don't touch the .arcs.

How hard would it be to extract the text and make a ONScripter script?

BGI sucks and is Windows-only.

>>3916968
That's right, that was my intent while doing the patch.

Does anyone have the link to the crack?

Do you have to put the files directly into the higurashi folder or inside the folder they are in the rar?

>>3916982
>BGI sucks and is Windows-only.
Works okay in Wine. Except for the videos.

>>3916721

Stupid grammatical errors are in ALL of MG's releases. They made Edelweiss basically unplayable.

for the BGM patch

I just have to place all the msys09, etc file in the higurashi folder, right?

There is nothing to override or cancel?

>>3917001
All of the files in the main higurashi dir. where the exe resides.

>>3917013
THX

>>3916981
i assume i have already extracted the game, there are only .arcs files, no zips and neither rars:

pic of the folder

>>3917030
forgot the pic, here it is

Is that demo music from that demo that has the ps2 sprites?
I've never read through that demo, but I take it that the music in it is also from the ps2 version.
Is it really that good?
As it is I've already read through much of the first chapter, so I'm not sure I should even bother replacing the tracks with those ones at this point.

>>3917035
Yes, that's all the files you need to play Higurashi.

What are you TRYING to do?

>>3917035
The font file is actually supposed to go into Windows/Fonts if you know where that is. It serves no purpose in the higurashi dir.

>>3917060
herpaderp disregard that

>>3917060
nothing particular, i thought i had to put the music hack in a specific folder, big deal

thanks

>>3917076
Looking at your folder you seem to be using the font and ui hack, but not the music one...

Wouldn't a patch with MG's translation for the original one be simpler?

>>3917105
If it were, don't you think people would be doing that instead?

>>3916472
I forgot, just a clarification. Some tracks in the first chapter appear in the latter chapters. So if you apply both patches there'll be some Himatsubushi music you won't get to hear.
If you want to hear it, you can remove the demo patch files at any time and extract the missing files from the Himatsubushi patch.

>>3917100
no worries, i was going to put those files now

Thanks OP and anon for your efforts, best of luck to those anons working on future tweaking.

Now i finally understand why /jp/ is full of elitist pricks, the stupidity of some folks in this thread is rage inducing.

>>3916980
So what is this now?

SOMEONE MAKE A SUMMARY OF THE FUCKING OST DIFFERENCES IN ALL FUCKING VERSIONS LIKE ORIGINAL GAMES, PS2, DEMO AND WHATNOT

Glorious.

>>3917167
HURRR

>>3917121
Okay, I've tried the demo-soundtrack and must admit that I prefer it. Should I keep the patch for the latter arcs, or are there Himatsubushi-tracks I shouldn't miss out on?

>>3917167
Sorry bro, we don't spoonfeed here.

>>3917177
Serious question dumbo. Everbody is spamming here that original label but how can something be more original than the original soundtrack?

>>3917167
All tracks in PS2 version (Matsuri) are original tracks by ZIZZ and they are not in any other version. They're also awesome.

>>3917205
Thanks. And what's the jazz about the demo version? What are the differences to the full version of the first arc? And they added new tracks and changed tracks in the answer arcs right?

I prefer the Himatsubushi track list since it's the one I'm used, so good for me i don't have to docomp licated things

Is there a way to have full screen on a second monitor? Bloody annoying.

so when rena shows up for the first time, is the music supposed to change? i thought it was supposed to, i moved the music files into the higurashi folder with the font and english patch.

but then to double checked the original game and the music doesn't seem to change from eating breakfast to meeting rena...

The soundtrack for only Onikakushi (the original demo on 07th Expansion's website, translated by the twins, not altered in any way, that means no ps2 music or graphics) is different from the Onikakushi soundtrack for Onikakushi-Himatsubushi. If you liked the music as you heard it in the demo you can apply the demo patch so when you read Onikakushi it has the same music as in the demo. Himatsubushi patch uses all the music from Himatsubushi, which included music in the demo but changed what tracks were used in certain scenes of Onikakushi. So Himatsubushi patch makes mangagamer's bgm the same as the original japanese version of Himatsubushi-hen. The demo patch is an extra for people who liked the track selection used in the demo of Onikakushi rather than what was used in Onikakushi when packaged with Himatsubushi. The PS2 music is completely different music made just for the PS2 release of Higurashi, though some are remakes of dai's music used in Higurashi Kai.

>>3917231
You probably did this already, but disabling your primary monitor should do it. I don't think this can be fixed easily.

>>3917244

thanks i was wondering why the demo music was up there. didn't know it was different.

Even though I watched the anime back when it was airing, reading this still gives me a creepy feeling.

Feels good.

Is there a sex scene patch?

BGI > onscripter

LOVE DAT QUIKSAVE FEATURE and other conveniences

>>3917360

Yeah, but Nasu wrote it, so that could be a problem...

why dont you ps2 sprites and music fags just play the ps2 version, and stop being faggots

>>3917372
What are you talking about? JACKHAMMER would fit in great in Higurashi.

>>3917372
..., and Mion made a yelp like the cry of a seagull, soaring high in the sky, at the sucking kisses Keiichi planted upon her neck. Well, it eats sea creatures. Good enough, right?

Cool stuff. Glad to see that some people are doing more than just complaining about MG's bullshit. What else needs to be patched before this is a faithful copy of the original + translation?

>>3917403
Maybe because the PS2 game isn't translated, durp.

>>3917421
cant read japanese? derp

>>3917423
If everyone here could read Japanese, why would anyone care about this translation?

>>3917415
I think the gui and music pathes just about do it.
The font patch is just gravy IMO, not NEEDED, but I've gotten used to the bigger text from so many VN's and would be lying if I said I didn't prefer it.

Everything from here on out is just gravy.

All I really wanted was getting as close to the original as one could, I don't care about ps2 sprites or voices.
I am curious about the ps2 music though.

>>3916980
Holy shit. PS2 music is awesome. Any anon who makes a patch with this is god tier.

>>3917441
no, theres also the rena boxing game that they took out

music patch was great. saved at a place and heard the same song for the 20th time and i was only an hour in. it was worse than playing tsukihime.
when i opened it back up i heard new music. fantastic

thanks op

The font is still ugly.

Attempts to use Knuth's True Font failed due to monospaced text.

Are there sources or Linux versions of the bgitools available, or am I going to have to figure it out myself?

Thanks to the anon who did the music patch <3 and thanks in the future to the anon who will port the ps2 sprites. fuck yeah /jp/

>>3917448
I too would like to see someone find a way to port the minigames over, but you know nobody's gonna do it.

What I'd like to see is a patch that makes you able to open the menu while on the save/load/read tips menu inbetween chapters, since there's no way to exit through here normally, or just add an exit button to those.

More importantly though, I'd also like to see a patch that makes the backlog and menu not have an ugly sky blue background. Pic related.

>>3917823
From my understanding, that's a theoretical --- noone willing to work on this project knows enough about BGI to write the necessary scripts. It would be easier to stuff the translated text back into the old engine.

The only thing currently feasible out of the 3 you mentioned is the 3rd, since you only need to edit the graphics.

>>3916469
stop spamming ur shitty clone boards on ａ ｎ o ｎ t ａ l ｋ . com

why does mg release this shit if so much work is needed to to make the game playable?

>>3917905
It's not. The game plays perfectly fine in it's original form. We'd just rather have the superior experience.

>>3917905
Pay attention, idiot

thanks for all the patches and all your hard work OP

to anyone who played the ps2 version, does the ps2 soundtrack match up with the original soundtrack at all? Would it be possible to make a patch substituting X ps2 track with Y original track, etc.?

if the mion twins werent so fucking slow we wouldnt have to do all this shit.

>>3918225
if the mion twins had some fucking help you wouldnt have to say all that shit.

>>3916682
I second this, if it's possible. I can live with the occasional awkward sentence, but when I learned MG typo'd 'Hinamizawa' as 'Hizamizawa' at one point, it... angered me.

I can live with 'Hao' instead of Hauu' too... but it makes me wonder if Hanyuu is going to go "Aoaoaoaoao" when Kai is released.

For the record, did MG actually keep all of the verbal ticks/catchphrases? Like 'Nipah" and 'Take you home"? I haven't gotten to read yet.

>>3918292
Mii~ stayed, that's all I've seen so far.

>>3918307
... I'm not sure if this is unacceptable or not.

*pukes*

>>3916682
Thirded. Grammar issues and hau need to be fixed. I'd like a patch to add back in the "say this in english" stuff too since "what comes after two" is just ridiculous.

>>3916473
>Port the PS2 sprites
Fuck you, the art stays.

>>3916472

Face it, the Higurashi art is shit. Hamfists and all.

>>3918292
>>3918307
>>3918314
I think I've heard it said that "nipah" didn't actually appear until the anime, although I may be wrong.

I'm all for a script edit patch if it's possible. I think we all know what needs to be done. To reduce the workload someone could just put the current script on a translation wiki and let us at it, then just reinsert each line's best proposed alternative.

sorry guys, CG of Rena peering between the crack of the door was superior

>>3918292
dump the script somewhere editable and let anons fix it up?

I am not really sure how things like this works, but if I got things right then it is so that Mangagamer has the license for the work "Higurashi"(the characters as well?) within the english market? And Alchemist has the license for the re-worked ps2 sprites, right?

If I have gotten this right, then does this mean that Mangagamer isn't allowed to use Alchemist's sprites as they lack the license to do so, and at the same time Alchemist aren't allowed to sell their "Higurashi stuff" on the english market as they lack the license to do so, right?

I guess that sounds about right considering how business work and the money that is behind it, though it still feels kind of stupid.

>>3918292
I haven't seen a Nipah yet, but I have seen Take you Home and Mii~ (well, Mi~, but it's close enough). They also translate Rena's 'kana kana' decently enough.

I'm only halfway through Onikakushi, so I'm assuming its a bit early for a nipah.

>>3918402
This, and fix the text wrapping while we're at it.

>>3918403
superior in english or japanese?

>>3918417
Nothing to nipah about in Onikakushi.

>>3918398
nope, the art is cute. ps2 art is generic shit

the 'uso da' should have caps lock.

>>3918468
Just like how someone with severe autism is cute, amirite

>>3918474
Isn't the usoda more of an anime thing?

I don't really think they wrote usoda differently in the original jap version.

>>3918482
exactly. why do you think key games sell so well?

Using the BGI tools, I've extracted the sprites from the MG release just fine, but I can't seem to do the same with the PS2 ISO. Here's what I've done so far :
- Switched to japanese locale
- Mounted the PS2 ISO (Daemon Tools). I've run it with a PS2 emulator, the game works all right.
- Got the NIPA tools from http://azuco.sumomo.ne.jp/archive/ps2higurashi_r070720_.zip
- Got the wnaspi32.dll from http://www.frogaspi.org/download/wnaspi32.dll
- Followed the instructions on http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm1182329

I'm stuck at the extraction part : I typed "nipa /d 6:0:0", then it freezes during about 30 seconds and does nothing (see attached picture).

I tried various other things like "nipa /d6:0:0", "nipa /d06:00:00", but it gives me the same result.

Would anyone mind to help ?

>>3918488
Because of so many lonely, masochistic fucks who enjoy slitting their wrists and crying themselves to sleep.

>>3918399
Yes, you're wrong.

>>3918486
the scene is nearly identical, (at least with the previous patch of the sonozaki blog)

>>3918468

I would take generic style over shitty artwork any day. The characters actually look INTIMIDATING when they lose it. In the original it just looks hilarious.

>>3918524
She doesn't really look that intimidating there.

>>3918530
Probably meant compared to Ryukishi's amazing drawings.

>>3918524
She looks more like she's just yelling at me for using cheap moves in a fighting game and winning constantly. Not intimidating at all.

>>3918524
Hauu... that's not very keyute, is it?... is it?

>>3918540
I haven't read Higurashi at all, but I assume his artwork isn't that different from Umineko (besides the hands) and I found some of the sprites rather intimidating.

>>3918530
>>3918541

Compared to Ryukishi07's original sprite, it sure as hell is.

>>3918553

He started using crazyfaces in Umineko. He really didn't do that at all in Higurashi (aside from the weird cat-eyes)

Hey, I noticed the new sound effects are a little on the soft side.
Do you think its worth making a patch for the sound effects too?

>>3918597
I'd say it's worth it. The new sound effects really lack the oomph of the originals.

make a patch to bring back the mini games and character commentaries

>>3918524
Well, taking the shadowed Rene there, the PS2 character poses are weak as hell.

>>3918553
His artwork in Higurashi is definitely worse.

Can someone upload the original Higurashi and Kai soundtracks so I can both these and the PS2 soundtracks?

Or is the ps2 soundtrack so superior I shouldn't bother?

>>3918500
give it a datafile name, idiot

>>3918524
thats not scary at all. this is much better

>>3918686
U SODA

>>3918691
i juice

>>3918691

the original and ps2 versions are completely differant experiances. stop trying to ruin both of them by makeing a freak hybrid

>>3918712
No.

>>3918691
>>3918700

OH YOU TWO

>>3918717
ok. if the ps2 version ever gets translated, i will create a patch that replaces the ugly ps2 art with the superior original art

>>3918729
Whatever helps you sleep at night. I'll be sure not to download it.

>>3918737
you will download it, and love it

>>3918729
>ps2 version
>translated

>>3918700
>>3918691

Played around with the BGI tools, but how do you edit the script files?

>>3918729
I'd download it.

So sprite patch almost done?

>>3918799
No. There will never be a sprite patch.

>>3918799
Yeah no.

Fuck I'm coming up to the Ohagi scene.

Even though I know what's going to happen I'm shitting a house.

>>3918831
Whether you know what happens or not, it's still twice as awesome as the anime.

Someone post the picture of Jojo-style K1 with a thousand needles in his mouth

>>3918781
It's a bytecode format, Google for BGI docs to get (a little more) detail. Since it's been said that they change the instructions between each version of BGI, you'll probably have to disassemble the EXE and look for the gigantic switch statement to figure out what they are now.

>>3918500
Still no clues about this?
I'm willing to rename and convert the 1100 pictures. All I need are those fucking PS2 sprites.

I dunno, I tried earlier today, and had the same problem.

Did you try >>3918683? I don't know how though.

If MG replaced multiple tracks with one single one, how does the music patch handle that? Wouldn't you have to manually change some parts of the code to distinguish between the two tracks again, to make sure the original tracks all play in the different scenes?

I wish MG had done it properly, I like the idea of playing Higurashi with some Kai music. It's better anyway. There was no reason to have less music, though, so fuck that.

>>3918881
Dunno what "datafile name" is supposed to mean. Just put a filename after all that?

>>3918907
derp.

Does anyone know a good torrent for the game is and how to get past the online activation?

He probably meant to specify the path to the ISO itself. Something like "nipa /d C:\xxx\HiguPS2.iso" or "nipa /d HiguPS2.iso" if you put it into the nipa folder.
Both don't work anyway, that was only some random smartass comment.

See : http://azuco.sumomo.ne.jp/column/ag_ps2higurashi/
The right command is indeed "nipa /d HA:ID:LN" as we tried, but it doesn't work for some reason.

Wait, so Mangagamer tampered with the original sound effects as well? What the fuck is wrong with them

Thank you!

>>3918904
Does anyone know about this? I don't want to patch it unless it's definitely working right. What causes MG's version to play different tracks when it previously played the same in both places?

That anon from a month back who's birthday is Dec 16 here. You guys really did manage to crack Higurashi in time for my birthday, plus all these patched goodies.

GJ bros!

>>3918969

Just try it. It won't hurt anything as you don't have to overwrite any of the files.

>>3918953
did you try the example on that page?

I had the feeling there was something off, thanks for pointing it out.

>>3918984
I know, I just want to know how it works, but I'm not familiar with the original music, so I won't notice whether or not it all plays.

>>3919101

Fixed.

can someone upload the music patch to somewhere else? please anon I beg of you the download gets cut off in the end around 80 percent

>>3918969
Mangagamer just duplicated some of the songs in the music archive. For example, in the original music folder, there was Rena.mp3 and Mion.mp3, and both of these were different songs. Mangagamer just made the same song be both Rena.mp3 and Mion.mp3, as well as several others, duplicating the song each time. They put around 3-4 copies of the same song in the music archive. That's why you hear the same song played over and over and over again in their version. The patch just puts the original songs in their proper place. No messy code fiddling required. Just extract the files in the .rar into the main higurashi folder and go.

>>3918999
That's not relevant to data extraction. Seems it's linked to convertion, or it's not even a command line at all.

I found another tutorial on a korean site, http://translate.google.fr/translate?u=http%3A%2F%2Fyadong.tistory.com%2F5&sl=ko&tl=en&h
l=&ie=UTF-8
They're doing the exact same thing I did. It really bugs me why the extraction won't work.

>>3919147
Thanks, I was hoping this would be the case.

>>3919197
Try it. You're supposed to get that pic of Rika as a result.

So do i just drop all of the tracks in to the main folder from the h4lp folder? Or do i have to put it somewhere?

>>3919225

Read the goddamn thread. That has been asked at least five times already.

THen point it out for me jackass!

>>3919237
>>3918702

>>3918407
I guess. What I find most annoying is that they couldn't get the license for the music even though that kind of have been fixed with these oatches.

Can someone post the PS2 sprites for comparison? I've heard they're better than Ryukishi's but bland.

>>3919210
I'll take that as a poor trolling attempt.
/x is not a valid command, neither is /y.

>>3919225
You fucking retarded faggot.

There's a fucking Readme file in the 7z. Maybe you should READ it.

Actually, you should kill yourself.

>>3919231

You people are mean ;_;

>>3919252
One has already been posted in this thread. Look around first.

Lurking /jp/ for the past few days, it seemed like moot changing /jp/ title has introduced a massive amount of people that can't read or people that only read the last 5replies to a thread instead of the whole thing.

>>3919276

They want instant gratification

>>3919262
>One

Yeah, I was kind of hoping for more, but okay.

>>3919259
You know, it's funny. I just tried twice to post an image showing what the folder should look like when done correctly. It failed both times. Clearly, /jp/ is refusing to let me help you.

But yes. When you extract the .rar, there will be a folder named h4lp. All of the files in there go into your main higurashi folder, right alongside all those archives. There will be a lot of shit in that folder afterward. That is absolutely what you want.

I bet this won't post either.

>>3919276
ever since the change, I keep clicking /jp/ tabs thinking they're my /a/ tabs. Maybe that has something to do with it.

>>3919252
I don't have any sprites, but here's some CGs.

>>3919317
>>3919312
>>3919303
These look good, but not right. It feels like I'm watching 2d people cosplay those characters. Going through the game that way would be very weird.

>>3919303
>>3919322
>>3919322
>>3919322
Man, I want this version instead. Oh well.

>>3919288

>>3919317
Rika looks horrible ;_;

A sprite patch MAY be possible, but those expecting a CG patch are asking for way too much.

>>3919335
I don't think anyone is expecting a CG patch. They're just wishing the ps2 version was the one translated.

>>3919312
Mion is so moe

>>3919335
Realta Nua was done, why not this?

>>3919381
Because Fate/Stay Night is much better than Higurashi. No one cares to do it in this case.

>>3919141
Please can someone upload the music patch again?

>>3919388
>Because Fate/Stay Night is much better than Higurashi.

Those be fightin' words, son.

>>3919415
Only a deluded fanboy could possibly disagree.

>>3919388
I like both equally.

>>3919417
Lulz, opinions.

>>3919422
same here

>>3919424
It's not an opinion when it's true.

Does Higurashi have DICKWORMS? I didn't think so.

>>3919417
They're two totally different genres, so I don't know if you can compare them all that well. Whatever.

>>3919451
Does Fate/Stay Night have NIPAHVIRUS?

Case and point.

anybody have the tracklist for the music patch?

I just want to replace the duplicate tracks, is this possible? MG's better tracks + the non-duplicates (rena+mion's themes, etc)

>>3919482
I'm not getting involved in this fanboy war, but I think you meant "case IN point". "Case and point" doesn't mean anything. Carry on.

>>3919713
I could argue a meaning for it, but doing so this good thread will devolve into idiocy from both sides.

Let's just keep this a patch thread, shall we?

>>3919722
FUCK YOU

That was completely uncalled for.
