Ys IV: The Dawn of Ys English Dub Patch Released!

Great! Looking forward to playing this on real hardware soon. Hopefully I can get past this disc space issue I'm currently having. Total Disc Space seems to be 721.6 MB which is 2 MB over target file size. When I try to burn it it says that there is not enough disc space for the data to be written, which is 721 MB and the space available on the disc is 656 MB. This is a completely blank CDR.

Not sure if anyone else was having an issue with this either that is planning on burning it to actual disc media. I'm using Nero Burning ROM and I used TurboRip to rip my original Dawn of Ys. It's the {HCD3051-4-1108-R1F} version by the way.

This is what's written in the ReadMe, courtesy of that madman NightWolve (Madman? Pot. Kettle. Black. Psycho John! Hope Agness stuffs another libel lawsuit down your throat!).
He is attempting to ruin my good name and reputation, because I dared to criticise his malevolent behaviour. I criticised him for threatening to put viruses in his work, to attack people who didn't pay him. He's a tyrant. people like that need to be exposed by journalists.

Nightwolve is poison. Absolute posion ("posion" - What's this, a typo by Mr. "journalist?") to the community, just like I said last time. His existence, his interaction with anything Ys related, is detrimental to the entire community.

I have done so much for the fan-translation community, and Ys, with my articles, developer interviews, and publcitity, (another typo? publci-tity??) and this toxic, posionous (again?), pathetic person slanders me!

His actions taint the entire group that worked on this.

Fact-Check: Here's what REALLY happened: This nutjob wrote a libelous/slanderous hit piece about me, a rant, a giant rant complete with Communist Hammer & Sickle symbolism on Hardcore Gaming 101... He made 2 wildly false claims, one was an intentional lie! First he claimed that I was trying to make my patches disappear over the Internet. This was false, and likely the result of him being a hack, not being able to see the javascript Downloads panel at the time and then jumping to wild conclusions! Why? He linked my website, so as soon as viewers clicked the link, they would immediately see my Downloads panel! That's how dumb he is!

Second, and THIS was the BIG LIE, he claimed I was trying to stop GeeMac32bit from working on the Ys IV dubbing project! He put words in the guy's mouth. He NEVER contacted him, he never contacted me either before writing such complete garbage! He did this on the same day I announced I had met and was working with GeeMac to finish the Ys IV dubbing. He provided NO source quotes or ANYTHING to substatiate/back up as to why I somehow would oppose the project, nothing, zero, zip, nadda! My guess ?? He was helping his buddy Thomas Lipschultz because of what started our feuding back with the Ys Origin project. This guy is some kind of "journalist," shouldn't we expect better than hack hit pieces for buddies ??

Anyhow, I contacted Kurt Kalata and explained what complete garbage this was, and he just deleted the whole thing and that was that... I never spoke publicly about the issue again, until those 3-4 sentences that drove him mad enough to threaten legal action, the thin-skinned hypocritical lying nutjob that he is! As long as HE gets to trash people over the Internet like a nutjob it's all good. But when return fire comes back his way, he threatens legal action and has a psycho temper tantrum! Had he left it with those 3-4 sentences, that'd probably have been the end of it, but seeing him go psycho led me to make a full thread about him to accomplish the opposite of what he wanted, to intimidate me and the dub manager!

-NightWolve

I don't care what his involvement was - I am disgusted with you as the organiser of the project for allowing him to have a soap box to rant against me with such tripe, when you have no idea of the history behind it.

"RAAAAWWRRRRRRRRR!!! RESPECT MY AUTHORITAH!!!!"


What kind of of asinine sophomoric logic are you trying to use here?

You chose to work with him, you chose to allow him to rant against people YOU ARE NOT FAMILIAR WITH AND HAVE NEVER DONE A SINGLE THING AGAINST YOU, and you have no knowledge of the history of the events, thereby not only are you and your team guilty by association, but I hold you personally responsible for allowing that slander against me to be published.

Because he found some ADPCM addresses that gives him freedom to say whatever derogatory, offensive, bigoted views he likes?

I want you to remove my name and all mention of me from the ReadMe - otherwise I will do my best to report you to some kind of authority. This is nothing less than trolling and harassment on yours and Nicholas' part.

How would YOU like it if I wrote the following on a website or publicly accessible body of work:



You're in charge, you allowed him to make offensive remarks, and you published it - therefore you are every bit as guilty as he is.

So is the rest of your team by association.

If it were up to me, I'd remove that rant from the readme file, as well. It's an ugly spot in an otherwise great patch.

@sketcz
Sorry, I'll remove his note from the readme and ask NightWolve to retype his entry.

I didn't intentionally mean to offend anybody and I was thinking of the personal note section as sort of an open blog for the team at time of writing it. Yes, I know, in retrospect I should of said something to him sooner. I'll remove his note right now.

Sorry for the trouble, I really I'm. Please do not hold this mistake against the rest of the team or the patch itself.

This is an amazing work. I don't really care about all the controversy around Nightwolve, Deuce and the others involved, but as an spanish Ys fan I would like to thank you all the people who made possible the translations of all Ys games (and Falcom games). To celebrate it, I bought a copy of The Dawn of Ys and now I'll replay it and taste the awesomeness in all it's glory!

While all those japanese and luckers play Ys Celceta

Edit: I ripped my copy with TurboRipv1.1 BETA, downloaded Nightwolve's English text patch, placed all the files into the folder that contains all of the Ys IV ripped files and when I hit the patch, it says it couldn't find "Installhook.dll" and it does nothing. PATCHBAK gives me the same error but also says it can't found my image dump. Any ideas guys? My version is HCD3051-4-1108-R1F (the good one).

Guys, this is amazing, thank you EVERY_ONE involved!

I'm going to replay Ys IV DoY with this now!!!!

Regarding the now-removed/modified readme, yeah, it did need removal. And even though NightWolve made the old and even this new patch possible, for which we DO need to give him credit (gotta give credit where it's due!), he shouldn't have written anything beyond what Wyrdwad mentioned that it should have.
I'm glad BurntLasagna just fixed this issue ASAP, so my following statement is likely useless, but I found it pretty damn unfair to threaten BL and anyone else in the team other than NW, and then even claim they were AS guilty as NightWolve. Some guilt, perhaps, but ABSOLUTELY NOT _AS_ guilty. It was just very uncalled for: talking things over peacefully solves most issues. Were it just me, I'd have politely asked BL if he could please remove it, for this and that reason. No need to go that radical that early, and especially not point fingers to the whole team... But whatever with all that! I'm glad it's solved now, and that's what matters, and I am thankful to both the WHOLE team for the patch and Sketcz for all the positive contributions to the series, having mainly in mind his outstanding Ys-dedicated article from an year back.

Also, I haven't tried patching things up myself yet, but I'm wondering if the cause of the trouble some people are having with patching could be related to _the way_ their Ys IV TDoY image files were ripped in the first place. I recall the original, non-voiced DoY patch was quite tricky to use, because of the amount of precision needed in the ripping of the game. We had to use CDRWin, something most PCs of today don't even support both in terms of software AND hardware especially.

Anyway, if I do suceed in patching this game, I'll make sure to "help" anyone else who couldn't.

I checked out the trailer for the voice acting on Youtube and I must say it's really well done.

It's been a long time since I messed around with ripping Duo games and applying patches, is there a guide that explains the process? also, is that new patched out yet as mentioned above ^^

Ys IV seems to run fine on Magic Engine, but I'm having difficulties getting it to run on the Turbo Duo.

I have a feeling I'm not burning it properly. There is no sound during the intro sequence with the final events of Ys II. I'm going to have to buy another set of blank CD's a look further into the problem when I have the time.
