I've spent so many weeks and so many CD-R on this game trying to make a single disc version.
(Я потратил так много недель и многие CD-R на эту игру пытаюсь сделать одну версию диска.)
I got PS2 version, so I could get higher quality videos to use as source.
(Я получил версию PS2, так что я могу получить высшее качество видео и буду использовать его в качестве источника.)
It was a hell to extract them (they were all together on a single file), and then another hell to decode them, because the video
was not in full MPEG-2 standard (I think).
(Это был ад, чтобы извлечь их (все они были вместе на одном файле), а потом еще ад, чтобы расшифровать их, потому что видео не было в полной MPEG-2 стандартного (я думаю).)
I was having bad sync issues with a lot of programs, but at the end I finally could have the MPEG-2 sources decoded correctly.
(У меня были плохие проблемы синхронизации с большим количеством программ, но в конце концов я наконец-то мог MPEG-2 источников декодируется правильно.)
It was another hell to encode them, because I was using a newer version of the 4XM encoder that I found somewhere, and depending on the parameters used the videos they were simply not playing on Dreamcast.
(Это был еще один ад, чтобы кодировать их, потому что я использовал новую версию 4XM кодировщик, который я нашел где-то, и в зависимости от используемых параметров видео они просто не играли на Dreamcast.
)
To make it better, the encoder was incredible slow, giving me the rate of 1~3fps. To make it even better, the batch encoding was pretty buggy.
(Чтобы сделать это лучше, кодер был невероятно медленно, давая мне размере 1 ~ 3 кадра в секунду. Чтобы сделать его еще лучше, пакетного кодирования было довольно багги.)
Well, after a lot of time and work, I was almost giving up when I put my hands on the same encoder used for the game makers.
(Ну, после того, как много времени и работы, я был почти отказавшись, когда я положил руки на том же датчике что используется для создателей игр.)
Everything was working sweet now, but this encoder version had no batch encoding support at all so I had to make a script for an automating software only to make it work.
(Все работало нормально, но эта версия кодировщика не имела поддержки пакетного кодирования вообще таким образом мне пришлось сделать скрипт для автоматизации программное обеспечение только чтобы заставить его работать.)
Why the split version then, if everything was working fine? Well, I was not happy with the
results. To have space for the videos, I had to reduce framerate to 23.976, and it made videos a
little choppy. I also had to reduce resolution of videos, and Dreamcast player could made them
full screen nice, but its internal resizer was not making a good job and the videos got a bit
strange. Additionally, the PS2 sources had macroblock problems in dark areas that got really
apparent (and annoying) after compressing in 4XM. I considered using original Dreamcast sources,
but the result would get even worse, because 4XM gives a bad effect in transition of scenes and it
would be "doubled" by encoding the videos again. Well, what changed my mind at all was watching
the movies and seeing that the encoder made sound really crappy. It encoded it in ADPCM, and it
got really strange. To correct that I'd have to encode only video and insert sound later, but it
would require me to calculate the bitrates and encode everything again. Remember, 1~3fps...
Additionally, the result would be even worse, because using PCM audio would use more space and I'd
have to reduce video bitrate even more.
Headhunter is a great game, right? I didn't want to release this game with bad quality.
(Headhunter является замечательной игрой, верно? Я не хотел, чтобы её выпускали, эту игру с плохим качеством.)
So the best thing I thought was making this split release.
(Поэтому лучшее, что я думал, что делает этот сплит-релиза.)
I won't say a release in 2 discs will never be make for me.
(Не буду говорить об выпусках на 2-х дисках, для меня никогда не сделают)
I kept all the information and files used on it and put the project on hold.
(Я держал всю необходимую информацию и файлы, используемые на нее и положил проект на удержание.)
However, since split release results got so good, I'd say it will probably never be done.
(Однако, поскольку результаты сплит-релиза стал настолько хорош, я бы сказал, что он, вероятно, никогда не будет сделан.)
Before talking about the split release, I'd like to thank Override for all his help with 4XM. This
guy was really helpful with information, programs and scripts.
Well, about this split release, it was easy right? Not really. First problem was arranging the
files on the disc. A bad file distribution made videos lock because reading speed was not fast
enough, or videos start late and desync with the subtitles. I had even never-ending loading times
because the game had to play a music and load files elsewhere. The game was played entirely, and
file order was optimized to make everything work great. It was days of work until find the right
"combination" so the game worked fine. There were only two loading times in Disc 1 that got a
little worse because music starts playing before end of loading, but it's a little price to pay
for the general improvements.
Additionally, for some reason the game kept verifying the start of session of the disc some times,
moving reader unnecessarily and making loading times slower. To solve this "problem", I used two
data sessions in disc, so I could move the start of second session to the end of the disc. Now it
won't waste time moving reader to inner part of the disc.
The final result is that with moving second session plus files optimization, loadings got
extremely fast. If you compare this with any other release floating around, you'll notice a great
improvement. Additionally, no media files were downsampled, so you'll have the great soundtrack of
this game in 44khz stereo (for comparation, LAILLAS release had its music downsampled to 22khz
mono) and untouched video. Now you can enjoy this masterpiece with GD quality and optimizated
performance. Believe me, if you play using VGA Box + a good sound system it will make a huge
difference.
I played the game until the end twice and everything is working fine, so you can grab it without
worries.
(Я играл в эту игру до конца два раза и все работает нормально, таким образом вы можете захватить его без
забот.)
Oh, someone told me that some jackass is taking my work and the work of other guys and claiming
its his work.
(О, мне сказали, что некоторые Jackass принимает мою работу и работу других парней и утверждают
ее его работы.)
Because of that I've inserted a little DCRES logo in the SEGA screen when booting
the game. I was trying to avoid it to keep the games closer to the original, but whatever. Thanks
for cOcO! for the suggestion.
(Из-за этого я вставил небольшой логотип DCRES на экран SEGA при загрузке
игры. Я пытался избежать это, чтобы держать игру ближе к оригиналу, но независимо. спасибо
Коко! за предложение.)
Enjoy!
