Kingdom Hearts: Final Mix Translation Patch (In progress)

I'll have to replay through on ps3/my pc. last time I played KH1 was this patch so I didn't realize.

Most people either don't care about the change, or actually do like it. At least that's how it was during 1.5's initial release. I personally don't like the change, which is the main reason I started emulating the PS2 version in the first place.

Kingdom Hearts: Final Mix Translation Patch (In progress)

I know Gledson's patch is playable. I beat it, using a Japanese ISO to get the Ansem report. But for those who don't want to have to deal with it, the ps3 versions of 1.5 and 2.5 are fully playable on pc is all I was saying. I didn't realize, though, that 1.5 changed the music? was a lot of it changed or only some?

It's cool. :)

As for the music, the sequenced MIDI music from the PS2 version was replaced in both HD ReMIXes with live re-recordings. In KH1 and KH2, the vast majority of the music was redone, while the others only had a few redone tracks.

2.5's KH2 isn't bad at all (<Insert obligatory mention of He's A Pirate here>), but I don't really like what they did with 1.5's KH1. The performances and orchestrations mostly sound sort-of half-assed; Villains Of A Sort sounds less menacing, Hand In Hand sounds less heroic, and Dearly Beloved's obviously flubbed trill is infuriating. The programming isn't much better; they didn't correct the loop for Night On Bald Mountain to accommodate the DDD version, and the music-programming masterpiece that is the original Dive To The Heart Destati devolves into an absolute mess in the HD ReMIX.

Kingdom Hearts: Final Mix Translation Patch (In progress)

rkimbal45 said: ↑

So, I've been hesitant to post this, cause I've held out hope for the PS2 version to get those last couple of bugs finished, but for those who have had enough, I just want to mention that the PS3 emulator has finally reached a state where some games are very playable, including KH1.5 and KH2.5. So for those who like to keep Kingdom Hearts on their PC(like me) there is a playable version out there. I still hope that Gleddson or someone can make that last fix so the Kurt Zisa bug is fixed for the ps2 version, but...if not. final mix is playable somewhere at least.

Gledson's English patch may not be perfect, but it's far from unplayable. You can, as I have, play through the entire game from the first Dive To The Heart cutscene all the way to the end credits on Gledson's patch. It's just that you need CrazyCatz00's patch—which is otherwise vastly inferior to Gledson's—or the original Japanese iso for the few minor areas where Gledson's patch falls short.

Maybe if music modding becomes possible for the HD ReMIXes, I might be interested in switching. Until then, though, I'd vastly prefer emulating the PS2 version, where the music is already exactly as I want.

I can confirm that the Kurt Zisa rewards are still not fixed in Gledson's Rev2 Patch, either. You'll still need to use an unmodded iso or an iso with CrazyCatz00's old English Patch in order to get Zantetsuken and the Ansem's Report page.

Kingdom Hearts: Final Mix Translation Patch (In progress)

Something I've noticed, it seems Gledson still hadn't caught the issue where a bracketed line of text uses the next line instead of the text it's supposed to have. To fix this, I applied the patch, extracted the btltbl.bin with CrazyCatz00's Iso extractor, and went to the text editor of CrazyCatz00's website. I referenced a changelog I had made to fix Gledson's previous version of the patch, which I'm attaching to this post. The changes are in KH1 US SYS.

I also made a few alterations to the translation, to fix a few niggling things that bugged me about the official translation, like Blitz being a "finishing combo" instead of a "finishing combo attack" like the other finishers, or the incorrect MP values for MP Gift and the Dream Shield. They're completely optional, of course, that's why they're in a separate file from the translation fix.

Kingdom Hearts Final Mix NTSC/J Codes

Enzineda's Level 1 patch had the ability codes. I messed around with them a little bit to discover the ones he hadn't put in his patch.

Please note that these codes will override and erase whatever abilities you already had. I like using the first slot's code to replace an unwanted ability with another one (Such as, for example, replacing Tech Boost with Critical Plus).

Here are the codes:

Code:

// Sora, Ability Slots 1-34:
patch=1,EE,003F83C4,extended,000000__

patch=1,EE,003F83E5,extended,000000__
patch=1,EE,003F83E6,extended,000000__

The maximum number of ability slots Sora's allowed to have is 48, but I can't seem to get a code that changes 48 abilities at once working. If you added each one at a time, though, it should work.

Code:

// --All Ability Code Values-- (Non-Sora abilities will not work for Sora, not even Shared abilities)

Kingdom Hearts Final Mix NTSC/J Codes
I ported some1fromthedark's party mod to Final Mix.
Code:
```
patch=1,EE,003F880F,extended,000000xx
patch=1,EE,003F8810,extended,000000xx
patch=1,EE,003F8811,extended,000000xx
```
Here are the digits from his post:
some1fromthedark said: ↑

Code:

--------------------- | Digits | --------------------- Sora: 00 Donald: 01 Goofy: 02 Tarzan: 03 Pooh: 04 Aladdin: 05 Ariel: 06 Jack: 07 Peter Pan: 08 Beast: 09 Invalid: 0A - FE No Character: FF

Notes:
Modifying the Sora Slot will generally cause the game to soft lock upon loading a save.
If a Joker is used the game will still load Sora for gameplay, but you will appear as the other character in menus.
Leaving the room after triggering the Joker can cause bizarre effects since Sora is no longer part of the party.
e.g. Donald and Goofy may attack him since they don't treat him as a party member and he will have no stats since they aren't loaded.

Modifying the other 3 slots will cause the characters to appear in your party for menus, but for gameplay they will only appear if you're in the world where they can normally be your party members. Otherwise the game will not load their model or moveset and it will be treated as if there is no party member.

The Invalid digits are treated as no party member for gameplay, but in menus you will get characters named
"DUALSHOCK 2 analog controller is not inserted in controller port 1" with gibberish for stats.

Using the no character digits will make it so that you do not have a party member. They will not even appear in menus.
If you set all of your party members to no character, attempting to view the party change menu will notify you that you have no party members. Also setting all of your party members to no character has a strange effect in Guillotine Square in Halloweentown. It will cause Jack to spawn, but since he is not a party member he will be treated as an enemy and will attack Sora. This may happen with other characters in other worlds as well, but so far I have only seen it with Guillotine Square.

The main reason I use this code is to disable party members with the no character digits.
