Yeah... it actually works. Go figure. Now, refresh me. Where did you get the patch? Is the extension of the so called patch file PPF? Did it include any instructions? Did you patch the MODE1/2048 ISO dump of track 2 rather than a whole BIN file?

This is where I got the patch http://home.comcast.net/~heavyweights/games/drac/index.htm.The patch is ppf,yeah it included instructions.After I patched,the intro was still in japanese.
Did you patch the MODE1/2048 ISO dump of track 2 rather than a whole BIN file?
now your confusing me there,think I patched the whole bin file instead of iso track 2.

OK, yeah, I've been to this site before, but couldn't remember the url. He provides patches for both the ISO and BIN. A MODE1/2048 rip of track 2 would be 20,785,152 bytes in size. You use his "Dracula X ISO Patch" for that. But, you would need to follow instructions on how to rip a CD to ISO/WAV/CUE format, and I don't feel like going over that.

Now, do you have an original DraculaX CD and did you do a BIN/CUE dump of that? If you built up a CD-R from a prior ISO/MP3 archive set, that would cause offset differences and the patch would corrupt the game, rather than patch it to English. I'm asking if you started with an original or used a backup. That's one possible problem also related to the fact that BIN/CUE dumps aren't always consistent on every machine.

TurboRip, the program I'm working on would help with this, but I'm still not ready. However, there is a tutorial on how to make an ISO/WAV set from Squaresoft.

1) Go here http://necstasy.emunova.net/

2) Click the British flag for English, then click Tutorials

3) Click "How to make an Iso/Wav"

You need the BIN/CUE to go through those instructions. It's a long shot, but worth a try. If you wanna wait a few more days till I release TurboRip, it's up to you. I'm not in the mood to offer anything more atm. You need to be more preemptive when asking for help and have told me what you did already in more detail, so I don't have to launch into a series of questions to figure out what you're doing.
