Saw this on 4chan, will try in a couple mins:

Quote
Secondly, after downloading it you'll need to convert it to ISO, so download ISOBuster ( http://www.isobuster.com/isobusterdownload.php ) (and yes, it has to be ISOBuster, I tried with alcohol, nero and poweriso and they just fuck it up) and follow these steps:

File -> Open Image File; select Track 01 from the Left Window inside IsoBuster (CD->Session 1->Track 01) and Right click on it. Please select Extract Track 01 and then Extract RAW Data (2352 bytes/blocks(*.bin/*.iso). Save the resulting iso to the same folder where you have the xdt patch files.

Now make sure your both isos are called Policenauts1.iso and Policenauts2.iso and follow the instructions in the txt patch folder, also make sure you follow the emulation instructions in the txt with the correct epsxe version and pete's plugin

Nope didn't work, smh

fuck this game

Title: Re: Policenauts Translation Release
Post by: bork on August 23, 2009, 06:41:50 PM
I got the game patched.  If you guys want to get this game via the torrent route, just google "Policenauts .torrent."  There's an ISO version up with plenty of seeds that can then be easily patched.  Now to figure out how to combine the two discs together.

Demi, if you didn't combine the two ISOs and the game has no save point when it's disc change time, you won't be able to play it all the way through on PSP.

lyte: Use this (http://pspupdates.qj.net/RS-GUI-PopStationMD-v3-0/pg/49/aid/112951) to make the eboot (if you're on Windows) and it should work.
I'm just applying the patch now, it's gone surprisingly smoothly.

Thanks!  I usually use an OSX app (for once) called Prometheus Pro, that rips and converts PSX games right into the correct eboot format with ease, but it can't do multi-disc game eboots as far as I can tell.

Impaler worked fine, but I might do it again (to add icons n' crap) anyway.
Title: Re: Policenauts Translation Release
Post by: bork on August 23, 2009, 07:12:57 PM
Guess Impaler isn't the way to go...the ISO is taking forever to load up (not crashing) and loops at the Konami logo.

Policenauts isn't compatible with the latest Pops either, I hear it works best in 3.71, so that might be causing problems too.

Post by: Lucretius on August 24, 2009, 10:00:16 AM
well, they released the patch on August 24th (Japanese time).  In addition to being Kojima's birthday (1963), if you examine the date on the wedding picture in Jonathan's office during the prologue, it says, "August 24th, 2009.  A date I'll never forget."
I'm enjoying clicking through all the details so far.  Each item seems pretty rich in backstory.  Though clicking on each item multiple times to get all the info will likely get old after a while.

This game is awesome; put a couple of hours into it last night.  If you enjoyed Snatcher, you will like this game too.  Simple as that.

 :lol  You can do this with almost every chick you meet.  Some of the reactions are pretty funny.  Kojima loves his titties.  At the hospital and Johnathon and Ed have a conversation about when the best time to peek up the director's dress is.

For some Snatcher fan-service, make sure to click on a guy in a red turban sitting in the waiting room of the hospital.

IIRC they made this version of the game with the Playstation Mouse in mind.  I did okay on a target practice shoot though, can't complain about it too much, but like Snatcher I don't see the point since it's generally too easy and doesn't control as well as it should.

One more heads-up: You're going to need to get a picture of all the Japanese clan crests used in the game to proceed at one point in chapter two.  Normally they're listed in the game manual.  Easy enough to google though.

I just got to Chapter 2 of (?) and it's alright so far.  Yeah, switched to mouse controls and it helped a lot.  It's really wordy compared to Snatcher.  Kojima loves his techno-babel that no one else cares about.  Best part is that the main character is all like "I don't like this case, it stinks! we're in too deep!...LET ME TOUCH YOUR BREASTS!"  He even compares the different breasts he touches in the game.  I also pretty sure that you and Ed are Mel Gibson and Danny Glover from Lethal Weapon.  I suspect that it might have been a known thing before because the translator made a sugar tits joke at one point.

Title: Re: Policenauts Translation Release
Post by: bork on September 06, 2009, 06:21:17 AM
No question that it's the Lethal Weapon duo; Snatcher's lead was based on Harrison Ford in Blade Runner.  There's a joke about the two main characters look the same in Policenauts, too.  :)

And then of course we have Solid Snake, who's a rip-off of Kyle Reese from The Terminator.  And let's not forget about Sean "Big Boss" Connery!
Title: Re: Policenauts Translation Release
Post by: cool breeze on September 07, 2009, 04:48:46 PM
This motorcycle shooting sequence makes me want to die.  Someone needs to kick Kojima in the balls for this shit.  Gee, it's a smart idea to put the save before a ten minute cutscene, then have the first major shooting section in hours where this guy doesn't fucking die and trucks are hitting you and shit.  Fuck this.

And why won't anyone shut the fuck up.  They explain what they will do, what they are doing, then what they did.  This is ridiculous.  Why do I need to ask Meryl every question before she tells me about an important call? this is stupid.

oh, and that ten minute cutscene is a mandatory recap of the story.  HURRRR
Title: Re: Policenauts Translation Release
Post by: cool breeze on September 07, 2009, 06:20:02 PM
ok, the
spoiler (click to show/hide)
bomb sequence is the worst thing ever.  What's worse is that after 10 attempts, the game crashes and I have to redo that bag section BECAUSE KOJIMA IS A FUCKING ASSHOLE and put the save before it.  This is ridiculous.

HAHAHAHA 20 minutes of doing that bag shit, waiting for the endless dialogue to finish, doing the actual section, and the game freezes.  brb, going to have aneurysm

Post by: cool breeze on September 11, 2009, 01:13:59 AM
Finished it.  It was alright before and after Chapter 3.  Chapter 3 was atrocious.  Didn't like it as much as Snatcher, but it was still ok.  Everything about the story was way too predictable and the game is so linear that it drives you crazy.  Maybe that's the point, it's just really annoying.  And shooting sequences are better than Snatcher with L/R auto-targeting.

btw, for anyone who finished the game or reads Japanese:
spoiler (click to show/hide)
what is said after the credits? the game crashed in the credits (a known problem, apparently) and I just looked up the ending on youtube, but it's only in Japanese.  Anyone know what was said?

Starts at 8 minutes into the video.  Massive spoilers, obviously.
