Looks like the 2004 mod for TTYD remake is dead. No updates after 2 months.

In positive TTYD news (shocking, I know) : The guy who made the excellent Infinite Pit mod is making another roguelite mod that looks even better, Tower of Trials, scheduled for release later this year.
And while the whole Romhacking.net thing is happening, I’ve seen a few people on the farms link to baddesthacks.net, home to all those edgy-for-edgy’s-sake NES hacks where the sprites are replaced with dicks and swastikas. I found this possible gem as the only N64 hack. If anyone’s patient enough to try it, knock yourself out.

Has anyone managed to get this working? I can't seem to do it. I've used every ROM I could find, but every time I try to patch it, I get a checksum error.

I've tried ignoring the error and patching it anyway, then running it in multiple emulators, which only got me this far:

The .txt file included with the patch doesn't specify which version it needs, though I did find this BHDN post indicating that 'Paper Mario (U) [!] (v2)' should work (searching for it only shows results for dodgy-looking ROM sites). According to one patching tool I tried, the expected CRC32 is 54257164.

I've run out of patience for the time being, but if anyone else can figure it out, please let me know!

The naming scheme is from GoodN64 but I wouldn't be able to tell you if it is or was there at some point. Depending on how degenerate the romhacker is he might be working from an old, bad dump of the rom to begin with.

I actually did try one from a GoodN64 collection, but it didn't work. Thanks for the tip, though—I'll look into it a little more.

https://youtube.com/watch?v=sQB8C9Mu53UArlo made a new video on one of his alternate channels talking about the TTYD Remake's sales, a lot of the copium in the comments section is that the game will surely sell more durring the christmas period.

Intelligent Systems ultimately does with this series whatever they feel like. Super Paper Mario is by far the best selling entry and its style is still entirely unique, yeah part of that just comes from being an early Wii game but still. Meanwhile Color Splash bombed even by Wii U standards and that didn't stop its DNA from spilling over into Origami King.

We are so fucking back
TTYD Omega is a full script restoration mod that aims to manually restore as much of TTYD's original 2004 English script as possible (with a few small caveats), in addition to readding a few details from the 2004 Japanese release. It's not perfect, but I've strived to make it as faithful as possible, and I hope at least some will see it as the definitive way to experience the remake.

Omega only covers the remake's US English script, (presumably) works with every version (1.0.0 and 1.0.1) of the game, and is incompatible with any other mod that edits the game's dialogue. Omega was primarily tested with Yuzu, but it also works fine in Ryujinx. It should also work on original hardware, although that hasn't been tested.

Submods​

There are a few things I knew not everyone would want in their game, so I've tried including them as extra subfolders you can use on top of the base mod if you want. Here's what each one does:

  • Bunny Boos - Makes Peeka and Lahla call themselves bunny Boos like in the 2004 JP version. This is intended for use with PotatoMuffin's Peeka & Lahla Bunny Ear Restoration mod, so please install that before using this.
  • Hooktail Hates Crickets - Makes Hooktail afraid of crickets instead of frogs, like in the 2004 US release. (The associated Attack FX badge still sounds like a frog... for now, at least.)
  • Vivian (US 2004) - Restores all Vivian-related lines from the 2004 US version of TTYD, and renames the Three Shadows to the Shadow Sirens.
  • Vivian (JP 2004) - Attempts to faithfully restore Vivian's portrayal from the 2004 Japanese release of TTYD, and renames the Three Shadows to the Shadow Trio.

Holy shit, FINALLY. Between this and the other linked restoration mods, I will now play your game. Eventually.

Also, one of the linked mods is “TTYD/SPM Mario Face”. I wanted to know if they restored the waving pose that some crybabies thought look like a sieg heil, and…

It now looks even more like a sieg heil :story:

Cool, now bring back the Nigger graffiti and make it less of a slog to advance past the UI animation and make it snappy like the OG.
 
Some of these changes (fixed by the Omega mod, and this is just a small subset)...
- Restored all uses of words like "bummer", "lame", "dork", "spook", etc.
- Restored a few uses of characters saying "he or she" instead of "they" (which coincidentally fixed a new typo)
- Revised the script's punctuation so it matches the original (restored <3 and star symbols, characters use ! marks again, digits are used more often, etc.)
- Changed the names of a few locations ("Rogueport Underground" -> "Rogueport Sewers", "Palace of Shadow Tower" -> "Riddle Tower", etc.) and reverted all map description changes
- Fully restored the first scene with Crump and Goombella (he doesn't call her a "nosy book nerd", Goombella acts like you know what Star Points are, etc.)
- Dazzle now accuses Mario of trying to swindle him (and he says "So...LAME!" again)
- Merlee is called a "fortune-teller" sometimes again, and her spells are occasionally called a "curse"
- Reverted changes made to Grifty's stories ("The stars were scattered across the land" -> "One of these stars was placed in each country")
- Kroop wants to smack kids instead of giving them a "good, stern finger-wagging"
- Kolorado's father's letter warns you "not to give in to your kinder nature"
- Restored all of Hooktail's omitted dialogue ("strange-garbed one", "People pay good money to do this", etc.)
- Reverted several changes made in Koops and Koopley's reunion scene (Koopley isn't stunned by Hooktail's feet, Koops says they thought his "game was over", etc.)
- Mr. Hoggle sounds like a stereotypical Chinese man again instead of being British(?)
- All of King K's lines were restored, including him using stereotypical 90s slang like "dog" and saying Master Crash has "speech issues"
- Rawk Hawk is called "The Feral Nuclear Reactor"
- The Twilight Town shopkeeper's wife says "boys will be boys"
- Jerry is traumatized by seeing Luigi dressed as a bride, not his clumsiness in stilettos
- Scarlette's "deathbed" is mentioned, and the Keelhaul Key crew acknowledges that Bobbery might be dead rather than dancing around it (they left most death mentions alone, but not here?)
- Cortez's lines were restored and he says words like "amigo" again
- Poshley Heights is for the rich *and* famous, not just the wealthy (I have no idea why this was changed)
- Toadia says "he's so much like Luigi, it's creepy!" instead of making a random "Lie-igi" pun
- The Fahr Outpost cannon is no longer named "Big Bob"
- In her first Moon tattle, Goombella specifies there was a Goomba on the Moon in '69
- Beldam says Frankly's "sleeping off a nasty bump on the head"
- The Shadow Queen says Mario and his party "do not appear to possess power" rather than saying "they possess some power and may have a modicum of use"
You can't say "dork" anymore. These are 4Kids-level changes :stress:

The readme specifically says:
There are a few things I'd like to add (the N grafitti in Rogueport, Mario's arm salute, etc.) that I haven't figured out how to restore yet.

AIYAH!! I did not know that you were the one who made this mod, much less that anyone would actually follow my comment!!
:semperfi:Semper Fidelis! I was going to do a text mod where I woul 'de-woke' anything that was not already covered by the Vivian detrooning or Goomba catcalling mods, but what you did is impressive. You even le the translation go with a frog instead of the cricket (hough you also added a separate mod that restores the cricket comment if you so chose)!
Now I can focus on my own mod. I just have to copy all dialogue from a certain important character, first.

I didn't actually make the mod (not nearly skilled/autistic enough). But I'm sure the person who did appreciates your praise

They get worse every year because pussies allow them to steamroll over anyone and anything that gets in their way rather than tell them to cut that shit out.

Anyone with a brain would have told them to shut the fuck up and get the fuck out. This is what you get when you don't stand your ground because to these people its NEVER enough and will always want more. It's a beast that is constantly feeding.
 
Now that the dust has settled, do we actually know what happened here with the script? Because from my knowledge I don't believe any Nintendo games before this remake really had as much script-scrubbing as this one did. DEI? Some localizers inserting their personal agendas? NOA trying to be as "child friendly" as possible? I know Nintendo doesn't really go too in depth about their development process so I doubt we'll see an official answer I just am wondering what actually happened during the development and why

Nono, the censored 4kids dubs were able to say dork!
They also added sex innuendo shit to the dubs despite the violence and some other weirder nonsense censors.
Also 4kids made the 2003 ninja turtles and that was the most violent thing ever in terms of kids shows at the time (baxter dismemberment subplot as example) which is never not gonna be funny to me.
