Staring a new thread to better keep track of patches for lunar. This first post will link to the latest patches.
I'll try to fix bugs as they are found, no promises as to timeframe as ive been rather busy lately.

Lunar SSSC MPEG Dub Patch v0.74

Lunar SSSC (MPEG) English Patch

========================================================= = Sega Saturn LUNAR Silver Star Story Complete MPEG-BAN = = Dub Edition v0.74 = ========================================================= ======== =...
segaxtreme.net


Issues Reported so far:
1. English audio clips (not movies) cause all sorts of crash and other issues, reverted back to jp audio for now.
2. After a battle, if a level is gained, the characters will flicker on the level up notice.
3. During a battle, entering the Command menu will cause characters on the screen to flicker.
4. One of the short mpeg videos has the original jp audio.
5. After defeating the magic emperor, victory music continues to play for 10 sec?

It's been reported that this version can play to the end of the game.

Sub & Dub Patches v1.5.1

Lunar SSS English Patch

======================================= = Sega Saturn LUNAR Silver Star Story = = Public Beta, Edition v1.5.1 = = 02-01-2021 = ======================================= *** NOTICE: UPDATE TO V1.1 of the...
segaxtreme.net


Known Issues:
1. After a battle, if a level is gained, the characters will flicker on the level up notice.
2. During a battle, entering the Command menu will cause characters on the screen to flicker.
3. No subtitles yet on the subtitle patch, started typing these in and noticed a bug in my newly added code. Need to rewrite this....
4. On the dub release, getting reports that when characters are revived by Nall, the game often hangs in a music loop. This seems to be related to the longer english samples. Soft reset still works (ABC+Start). Should be corrected once i get around to RE'ing the sound driver.... Sub version doesnt have the issue as it is using the original sound samples.

First MPEG dub patch released!
Could be bugs as a lot of the script was edited by hand, and there are now sections that were unreachable in SSS.
No one has played the game through, so consider it slightly better than a first beta.
Note that in this version I have allowed bromides to be both purchased (like the JP version) and found (like the US Version).
So yes, you can get duplicates of a few of them, but that does not cause issues.

TODO:

All Editions of Lunar
- Fix any identified bugs.
- Finish Subtitle releases (Subtitle JP Audio, Subtitle JP Video)
- Fix character flickering at end of battles (erase length suspect?)
- Implement dialog corrections, thread over on lunarnet explains

Lunar SSS
- File load times are slower than original when the disc is rebuilt with mkisofs. Cause unknown.
- Dub version: Add audio and video. Debug why problems exist with certain files.
- Sub version: Add subtitled audio. Sub videos once video fix determined.
- Fix track 2 playing (toc fix suspected)

Lunar SSSC MPEG
- Sub version: Add subtitled audio and video.

So cool! Thank you and the team for the hard work. It runs beautifully on the MODE, and the PSP audio sounds terrific.

I need some clarification on the ripping process. The instructions says follow the redump guide, I'm completely lost since I've found one million redump guides. What should I be using?

- SEGA SATURN & MEGA-CD Dumping Guide - (updated 28-11-2010) (Page 1) — General discussion — Redump Forum

- SEGA SATURN & MEGA-CD Dumping Guide - (updated 28-11-2010) (Page 1) — General discussion — Redump Forum — Disc Preservation Project
forum.redump.org

Disc Dumping Guide (MPF) - Redump Wiki

wiki.redump.org wiki.redump.org

They are so confusing I think I won't be playing this.

For Saturn, I believe either guide works, the one on the wiki is just a newer guide to lump in a bunch of other platforms for dumping.
(I honestly had a friend of mine help dump my cd for me as my plextor is long dead).

In the end, you should end up with tracks that match the following:

redump.org • Lunar: Silver Star Story Complete • ルナ　～シルバー・スター・ストーリー～　ＭＰＥＧ版

Redump - disc images information
redump.org redump.org

The reason i went with redump and xdeltas this time around is due to the complexity in patching all of the audio.

Thanks. On my first try I end up with a mismatched crc on track02. I will try other methods later this week. Too bad a clone cd dump isn't possible.

DICUI doesn't seem to work for me.

I'm still waiting for my Lunar disc, but I thought I'd try to rip another in the meantime to get used to it. Get the below errors:

Then if I enter an offset (which I'm not even sure is right, tried to work it out through isobuster like a guide I found suggested) I get the below:

This drive can read data sectors at scrambled state [OpCode: 0xbe, C2flag: 0, SubCode: 0]
Failed to get write-offset
This drive can read data sectors at scrambled state [OpCode: 0xbe, C2flag: 0, SubCode: 1]
Failed to get write-offset
Retry 1/10 after 10000 milliseconds

I'm wondering if my drive just does not support the necessary functionality or I'm screwing up the offset. Given the errors before I even get to the offset bit I suspect the former.
