Ys IV: The Dawn of Ys Fan Translation

[Chevmatic 12]

Years  ago I saw a video on YouTube by Game Sack talking about how there was a fan translation patch for this game as it was never released outside of Japan. They gave instructions on where to go to achieve this, but some of these sites have since been taken down or contents removed. Does anyone know how to do this?

And before anyone gets concerned about pirating roms I can say I do indeed own the Japanese PC Engine CD copy of this game as I never had any intention of doing this without already owning the game.

Thanks!

I'm pretty sure I used this one, there's a link in the description to the actual patch:

Could you tell me how I apply these patches? I am not the best at these sort of things, it says I need to apply it to a ISO/WAV/CUE file and in addition to not knowing what those are I don't even know how to get them.

Sorry I don’t remember exactly about it, ISO/WAV/CUE means the format in which the game must be ripped (basically separating audio tracks from the data tracks), there was a command line utility to rip to rip Turbografx/PC Engine CD games let me see if I can find it.

Found it, it’s called Turborip:  https://www.ysutopia.net/forums/index.php?topic=69.0

Full instructions on how to patch the game once ripped with TurboRip:

Ok. So I think I did everything right, at least I have a bunch of spare blank CD's in case I messed up, haha. Now how do I go about putting it onto a disk?

I played it on my Turbo CD awhile back.I know there are two audio versions, one for burning to a cd and one for emulator. I burned the one for the emulator on the disc and the voice audio was loud and earbleeding.
