Burn your CD (I used Alcohol 120% and the 'Play Station' format), insert and you should be good. Here are some issues I ran into:- 'I didn't have a slow burner available, so I tried a higher speed.
Feb 08, 2009 DS Patched Roms DueleR. They may be patched for a majority of reasons and the reason is underneath just above the download links. Jap to English will be the main reason, any roms that are released in english will be removed from this page. Soma Bringer Info: English release date: No info. An almost 100% translation.
I got a black screen and occasionally the Konami logo briefly flashes.' Press a bunch of buttons. The system is trying and failing to play the XA movie. Getting a button press will tell it to stop and drop to the game's main menu. It's incovenient as hell because it'll happen every time you power on the game, but like I said absolutely nothing else in the game is like this, so once you get to the main menu, you should be fine. Policenauts it's considered a spiritual sequel of Snatcher, mostly because gameplay (graphic adventure) and setting (cyber punk/sci-fi) but it's not connected in any relevant way such as MGS1MGS2.There's a few references and easter eggs from Snatcher (and MG1 and MG2SS) on Policenauts, but that's about it, nothing very important to the main storyline.Snatcher it's fully translated on Sega CD, with a great localization and VO directed by Blaustein, who also did the translations for MGS1, SH2 and VP.tl;dr: You can play Policenauts w/o playing Snatcher.
For all you Mac people (Leopard/Intel only though, sorry), here's a way to patch the ISOsOK so I found this OS X script to patch a DS version of Soma Bringer over at GBATemp and kinda figured out a weird way to make it patch the 2 Policenauts ISOs. It's kinda tricky, so pay close attention:1.
Download and make sure the contents are extracted and put inside a folder called 'PatchSoma'.2. Open the file inside that folder named 'PatchSoma' with TextEdit, you'll have to change the text in there that reads 'policenautspatch2.xdt' to 'policenautspatch1.xdt' and then save the file, then close it.3. Rename your Policenauts ISOs to Policenauts1.iso and Policenauts2.iso4.
Drag ONLY the ISO for the FIRST DISC into the PatchSoma folder.5. Open the 'Terminal' application (it's in Applications/Utilities)6.
Drag the newly-modified 'PatchSoma' file into the Terminal window and hit Enter.7. If you don't see any error messages and you just see a little cursor below in the terminal window that means it's doing its thing. Wait a couple minutes until you see another prompt appear in the terminal and that will mean that the patch is complete. Check the size of the new patched iso. The correct size of the patched Disc 1 ISO should be 714.2 MB.8.
Once you have confirmed that the patch was successful, drag both ISOs (the original and newly patched Disc 1 ISOs) out of the PatchSoma folder and put them somewhere else. To clarify: the 2 ISOs that you have to move need to be removed from this folder so that when you put the Disc 2 ISO in there it is the only ISO file in the folder.9. Open the 'PatchSoma' file with TextEdit and change 'policenautspatch1.xdt' to 'policenautspatch2.xdt'. Save the change, then close it.10.
Drag the ISO for the 2nd disc (Policenauts2.iso) into the PatchSoma folder and do the same for this ISO as you did the previous one. The correct size for the patched Disc 2 ISO is 584.5 MB.You should now have working ISOs for Policenauts.As for burning the discs, Toast Titanium worked great for me, just tell it to burn at 2X to ensure the burn works right. I've found a solution, but it involves getting your fingers dirty and using the DOS prompt.Firstly, rip your Policenauts CDs using IsoBuster as in Mr. Put the disc into the PC's DVD drive, then open IsoBuster. From there, you should see a content tree with 'Session 01' and 'Track 01' on the left hand side; that's what's on your CD. Right-click on the 'Track 01' entry, select 'Extract Data', then select the bottommost option, 'Extract RAW data (2532 bytes per.er, sector, or something, I can't remember). Finally got it onto the PSP after my macbook pro refused to read the goddamn CDs in any way, had to use an external DVD rom to get it to read but.I impulse bought this game on the cheap from a second hand store here in hokkaido as a 'collectable' a while ago just to have it, but actually getting to play it now.well it's seriously awesome, the translation reads great and the story is just engrossing.I made an at3 file so I could have a nice loading screen with the theme music playing on the PSP, if anyone wants it, grab it.
