I guess that's a wrap for this thread. It's been 4 years since I first tested a patch and its really nostalgic how far this project went. Many thanks to @sora6645 and @gledson999 for working on this patch for so long. So to summarize for anyone who might stumble into this thread:
Instructions
1. Download both files
2. Extract KH1 ISOMaker.exe from KH1 FM Patcher.7z
3. Rename a clean iso of Kingdom Hearts Final Mix into "kh.iso" without the quotation marks.
4. Place "kh.iso", "KH1 ISOMaker.exe", and the "EnglishRev2.kh1patch" into a new folder for easy access.
5. Run the exe file.
6. Wait for a while and you're all done!
Known Bugs
- Encounter Plus isn't acquired after synthesizing 15 items at Moggle Sinth Shop (Traverse Town)
- Zantetsuken and Ansem Report 11 isn't acquired after beating Kurt Lisa (Agrabah)
Bug Workaround
- Load the original Kingdom Hearts Final Mix iso before completing the requirements above to receive the abilities.
Let me know if I missed anything!
Thanks again to everyone who contributed to this project and I hope you guys have a great day.
Hey guys is me again and it has been quite a while since I last posted. Its finally holy week again and I honestly can't wait to test Gledson's new patch so I hope he's close to finishing it. :)
Sad that we never heard back from him. No update for the patch, oh well. I guess it IS pretty stable but I know he can do better. Needs less bugs. Anyway, Merry Christmas to all you folks! =)
It works perfectly for me in my case. All I can think of is that you probably don't have it equipped or your target is on the ground. You need to be locked on to an aerial target. A good example would be the Pink Agaricus. You can perform Ragnarok on it ONLY if you lock on to his head since you might accidentally lock on to his body instead. You could have also possibly be out of MP during that time you tried to activate it but I doubt you made that silly mistake and not notice.
I noticed this too, but after a quick google search I found out that it's actually an indicator if the Chimera (Special Heartless) will spawn. It's even in the 1.5 ReMIX. The original KH1 doesn't have it because the trinity was placed somewhere else. Although, I have never seen this trinity disappear yet... even if the Chimera spawns or not it's still there. Anyway, chances are you already activated it once before and just forgot about it.
*Bugs Update*
- ALL special heartless can still be encountered so no worries there.
- Zantetsuken along with Ansem Report 11 is NOT given to you upon victory against Kurt Zisa. An easy fix is too swap to the original iso (japanese) just for this fight, save then load it with the patched iso. Please fix this as many players will never be able to complete the journal should they miss this post and save over their file after the fight.
- The ability information shows other info of other abilities. (Harmless Bug as it usually just shows the next ability this character will learn or if it was the last ability, then it will show the first ability of the next character.)
Overall, great patch and we all appreciate it you fixing the bugs as well. Thanks a bunch.[DOUBLEPOST=1480178864][/DOUBLEPOST]Oh. My. God.
I just realized that I don't have encounter plus... at all. This... can't be... My perfect save file is ruined. Whatever. Please fix not getting Encounter Plus after synthing 15 items do no one else will have to suffer. The fix is probably identical to the one above.
I have yet to encounter the Jet Balloon but I have been farming every other secret heartless pretty easily. (Hi - Potion spamming Grand Ghost is too easy).[DOUBLEPOST=1480148936][/DOUBLEPOST]I can confirm that all exclusive heartless can still be encountered. Jet Balloons are a pain. I will proceed to finish Hollow Bastion and then check if I would be able to get Zantetsuken.
I'm sorry but that is for the 1.5 ReMIX on the PS3. I wanted to add it to the PS2 version so that it would be more like the ReMIX. Everything is pretty much the same now except that it lacks the abilities EXP Zero and Combo Master which was only added recently in the 1.5 ReMIX.
Noice! btw is there any chance that you guys know how to add the combo master hack in? If you can do it for me or atleast point me in the right direction I would appreciate it very much. Here's the video I saw:
Since Rhyagella is here, Im just gonna wait till its fully translated before I start another run. And its nice to have 2 people working on the patch now. Great stuff guys.
Ok then. Just remember to post here if there's an new patch since we wouldnt know if the the patch was updated or not. Oh and thanks for working on this project. We all appreciate your hard work.
Other than the raft name glitch, everything seems to be fine so far. I'll keep you guys posted if anything gets buggy.[DOUBLEPOST=1472987187][/DOUBLEPOST]Whoops, turns out traverse town isnt even done yet. But atleast destiny islands is completely bug free unlike the last one. Ill be waiting for the next update.
Nice work! Now all I need are some details on this new update so I can test if the bugs are still there and such. And by the way, which one of your blogs has the most recent patch? I'm kinda confused on which one to download.
