So a bit of a late response.<br /><br />@OHDG: The patches are the same. There have been no updates to it since I first released it.<br /><br />@Yabe_uke & @Unknown: I have heard of no such issues issues from others. The "garbled graphics" seen with hakchi2 CE integration suggests that you don't have the patch installed. It not booting at all, I would have no clue about why. I do know hakchi2 old crappy Preset ID window would corrupt SDD1 sfroms when used, and cause them to not boot. Though I personally dont know if CE still uses that window. I dont follow that project. But if so, avoid the urge to open that window and "check if it worked right".<br /><br />There should be no other way I can think of that my tool alone would output a SDD1 sfrom that did not boot, other than not having the correct Game Code (Preset ID) selected. The patch automatically supplies that Game Code, so again... it sounds like the patch was not properly supplied.<br /><br />@Unkown: The main link was broke. I forgot I even put a link to it on this post. But the mirror worked just fine.<br /><br />The mirror link has now been edited to be the main link.DarkAkumahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16858381277343827806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9194088106122722768.post-49215173886130167272020-10-04T04:54:25.962-07:002020-10-04T04:54:25.962-07:00I'd like to use this but the SFROM download li...I'd like to use this but the SFROM download link is broken :(Unkownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17016383709414413836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9194088106122722768.post-15808411075837363812020-05-26T17:32:46.819-07:002020-05-26T17:32:46.819-07:00I'm having the exact problem as Yabe_uke unfor...I'm having the exact problem as Yabe_uke unfortunately. Tried through Hakchi CE as well as through the tool itself. Made sure to disable the SFROM Tool on Hakchi CE as well. Tried leaving the ROM uncompressed completely as well, nothing seems to work. Hakchi CE 3.8.0 to be specific.

If I use the hakchi integrated I get garbled graphics, and if I use the standalone tool the game does not boot at all. I can use retroarch to boot it, but if you could look into this it would be greatly appreciated.Yabe_ukehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06243086446374807947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9194088106122722768.post-62712002212210435752020-01-23T14:32:44.782-08:002020-01-23T14:32:44.782-08:00Addendum, I see that I haven't extracted the a...Addendum, I see that I haven't extracted the all in one packages to the patch folder. Since I already had the WUP-JUOJ.cnp file in there for the Star Ocean patch, it wanted to overwrite it. Are they different versions?

I had to use a moderation queue because of idiotic trolls, and I don't receive notifications for comments now.<br /><br />@Unknown1: Sounds like you know what to do with the .sfrom since you suggest you have booted it. It just seems like you didn't select the soe.ips when generating the .sfrom.<br /><br />@Unknown2: SFROM Tool does not support .ups or .bps.<br /><br />@steev: I can't discount that possibility. As stated above, the common issue has always been people opening hakchi2s Preset ID window and corrupting it. But yea. I'd always recommend people manually generate .sfrom with the tool more. More control over what you are doing. The hakchi2 should just be used as a glorified upload client. <br /><br />If I had to guess at what went wrong for the people you helped, its that maybe there was a issue with sfrom tool not finding the patch when run from CE. Like maybe when CE ran it, it did/didn't have admin access and was searching a different folder than where the patch was placed.DarkAkumahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16858381277343827806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9194088106122722768.post-63464985394279548972019-01-05T08:52:15.600-08:002019-01-05T08:52:15.600-08:00Hey!

I haven't personally played the game yet, but it's waiting there and ready for me to play whenever I get around to it.<br /><br />Anyway, I might have figured out a little more about why the graphics corruption is happening to some people. I've helped two different people recently who had the SFROM Tool integrated into hakchi CE. For both of them, they got the graphical corruption when imported into hakchi this way.<br /><br />I told one of them to try manually converting it to an SFROM using the SFROM Tool instead of relying on hakchi CE's integration and he reported success. I suspect hakchi CE's integration is somehow incompatible with the patch. I use CE's SFROM Tool integration because of the convenience, but I'm pretty sure I patched Star Ocean before I realized I could integrate it into hakchi.steevhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03857361727516735234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9194088106122722768.post-23323802972485207372018-10-03T18:09:07.783-07:002018-10-03T18:09:07.783-07:00hi i was wondering if .ups or .bps files work beca...hi i was wondering if .ups or .bps files work because those are the only patches i could find but they dont show up at all when i look for them after step 5, because, obviously, it says IPS text, and i figured it wasn't going to work. are there any solutions to this at the moment?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14527121017031789263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9194088106122722768.post-53404241944684933132018-09-25T16:31:19.976-07:002018-09-25T16:31:19.976-07:00I followed all the steps laid out, I have the soe....I followed all the steps laid out, I have the soe.ips, and Star Ocean (JP), and your patch.

I specifically left the Preset ID for Star Ocean out of the default data base, just so such a issue wouldn't happen and cause confusion when debugging any issues. If the patch is not supplied, neither is the Preset ID, so the game should not boot at all.<br /><br />I'm at a loss for as to why my tool might fail to install only the graphics data/patch. So my best guess is that after opening the .sfrom in hackhi2, you opened its own garbage Preset ID window and corrupted the .sfrom. hackhi2 was designed with a flawed understanding of the .sfrom format, and is limited in that it cant support real .sfroms. Specifically ones that contain graphics data like Star Ocean. When you use hakchi2s useless Preset ID window it re-compiles the .sfrom and deletes the graphics data.DarkAkumahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16858381277343827806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9194088106122722768.post-73970622026165393452018-07-22T14:21:37.353-07:002018-07-22T14:21:37.353-07:00The game boots but the graphics are all scrambled ...The game boots but the graphics are all scrambled like static on an old TV, I've done everything exactly as listed twice and it happened both times.NM NORMLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06196268001194961418noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9194088106122722768.post-55294511184584823932018-04-11T09:35:04.867-07:002018-04-11T09:35:04.867-07:00Now this is awesome!Now this is awesome!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06470470085842616200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9194088106122722768.post-25429577542897452252018-04-02T12:32:51.191-07:002018-04-02T12:32:51.191-07:00This is excellent, thank you for the huge amount o...This is excellent, thank you for the huge amount of work this must have taken.MaccyTimehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11476615165770084022noreply@blogger.com
