Vampire Chronicle For Matching Service (80 and 99 minute versions)

Alright, we're back after a short break after release 100 and we've got a nice treat for everyone. It's Vampire Chronicle For Matching Service, a game that had previously only been cracked by Echelon. If you're not familiar with that release, it doesn't load terribly well since it's not optimized at all and the game did have a unique sort order to it. So the unique sort is maintained across the two data sessions, with audio and video moved to the outer edge. This version loads much faster than Echelon's and it will work on RGB without being patched. We've taken the liberty of cooking up 80 and 99 minute versions of the game. It really is a massive game, being a combination of all of the games in the Darkstalkers series. The game includes all of the characters from the different games, and you're able to choose which game's play style and move set you'd like to use, meaning there's a lot of combinations here.

Like the game? Thank the people who worked on it!

80 Minute Version:
In order to fit the game to an 80 minute disc, the audio was cut to 22khz stereo and the videos were downsampled pretty heavily, but we did use a VBR format. The videos had kind of an excessive bitrate to begin with, and they were ugly anyways. It would have been nice to be able to go with a better quality than Echelon on the media, but the game is simply too big. As stated earlier, it loads MUCH faster though, so you won't be disappointed. The 80 minute version is very playable for those of us without 99 minute discs. The music is synthesized since it's a CPS2 game, so it doesn't really sound much worse and the videos are only an introductory video. There were more on the disc, but I honestly have never seen them come up anywhere in the game.

99 Minute Version:
Alright, the 99 minute version still doesn't fit without downsampling. That's how monster this game is. In this 99 minute version, the audio is untouched. The videos are still downsampled some, but not to the extent of the 80 minute version.
