jpvc-convert

A Linux tool to convert any GTA: Vice City version to the Japanese version of the game - based on zoton2's script but for Linux.

The usage of this tool is allowed on the official speedrun.com leaderboards.

Dependencies

  • GTA Vice City
  • xdelta3

How to use

  • Launch the game once to generate your Wine prefix;
  • Export your WINE_PREFIX environment variable, making it point to your prefix;
  • Copy the files to your GTA VICE CITY installation folder and run convert.sh.

How it works

This tool uses XDelta, a utility for generating binary patches by comparing two files: one representing the desired version and the other the original. For example, if you compare the Steam readme with the Japanese readme, the tool will create a patch that transforms the Steam version into the Japanese one.

Process

  1. File Comparison
    Zoton2 manually analyzes all differences between the Steam and Japanese versions of the game, creating a patch for each discrepancy.

  2. Patch Application
    The tool applies these patches to your game files, converting them to the Japanese version.
    (Note: For the GTA SA script, I created the patches manually.)

  3. Additional Tasks

    • Copies over extra files, such as the Japanese no-CD DVD.
    • Removes files that are absent in the Japanese version.
    • Verifies file integrity by comparing hashes against a template.

Result

Once the process is complete, your Steam version of Vice City will be successfully converted to the Japanese version.
