Title....: Eldorado Gate 5 (J) Supplier.: Hykan - Date.....: 27/12/2010 Selfboot.: Hykan - Genre....: RPG Platform.: SEGA DC - Files....: 22x20MB Origin...: JAP/NTSC - Filename.: Hyk-EG5.partxx.rar Type.....: .nrg 80min - Ripped...: Nothing________________________________________________________________________________ Release Notes- ----------------------------- -The game has been ripped and tested on a Jap Dreamcast to be 100% workingaccording to the walkthru I have.Echelon has released this game long ago but the release is nuked. Honestlyspeaking Echelon has done a good job here when comparing with EG4 although itis still nuked and I can't find a ppf from them to fix EG4 problems while theyfixed most similar problems here in EG5.Problems with Echelon release:1. Enemies have no AI, You have to tell them what to do.2. In scenario 15, you can only find 4 items in the sandfall but you need the 5th to ride the ballon.Note: at point 2 you actually can't proceed the game without using a "Cheat"save file. Rip notes (technical)- ----------------------------- -*The following notes are a bit technical and is useless to 99% of the users.*The info is intended for technical users who know what they are doing and if*they found anything wrong with my procedures, they can correct me or perhaps*release a ppf.Capcom have throw in a ton of protections into this game and instead of a fewcentralised routines, there are now thousands although they can be fixed bysimple search and replace all:1. LBA checks Easily fixed by using LBA 45000 scheme.2. Country Check Check if IP.BIN (in memory) is "J " not "JUE". I have wrote a small piece of code to run at the beginning of 1st_read.bin to patch the in memory "JUE" string to "J " as they are not needed after the game booted.3. GD Tracks Checks Check that the LBA of Track 3 is 45000. since I used 45000 D/D format, there is no track 3, so I redirected it to check track 2. Note that Echelon's 11700 scheme uses only 2 tracks also.4. GD Size Checks Check that that Size of the disk is 0xFFF79E4 (-0861B4)Credits goes to Echelon for fix 3 and 4 since I learnt from their fixes inEG4 to EG6.Echelon has attempted to patch the scen0x.ovl directly. Since these files arecompressed with a variation of LZ77 algorithm, the direct patching createsmis-fires. It is a miracle that these have not create any problem with EG5(but it does with EG6). Anyway, I decompress the files, patch points 3 and 4only since points 1 and 2 are fixed by other means and "recompress" them.Final Notes:Like all of my previous releases, the images were created with a variation ofEchelon's method and hex edited directly into Nero format without burning to CDRfirst.- ----------------------------- -GreetsGosseyn , Rayearth , blibbero , NU-NRG & all contributing members of Sega Palace
