Me & my friends went to a friend's house for playing Tekken 5 together. And my friend said that he got Fatal Frame 4 [PC]. . But I knew that it didn't released on PC, and didn't even released in English language. I am more interested in this game and I have it in Jap language(I became jealous) so I told him to show it. And know what it was real, and worked too+ in english(I mean text). But on launching the game, I noticed that dolphin emulator show up for 1 second and then game goes full-screen. Now I figured it out, that someone manually made it for PC. I pressed alt+enter and it became like a usual dolphin emulator. BUT weird thing is that I searched the installation directory and everywhere else, and there's no emulator nor ISO or any dolphin supported game formats. There was only 2 .exe files(1 launches the game, other unistall) and 1 .dat file(I think this one have game & emulator 'cause it's size is +5GB) as much as I know .dat is not supported by dolphin, is it? And he's is not telling from where he got it. I think that he got it from internet 97%
I checked the emulator for a long time and I have something to share, the graphic plugin's name was 'Fatal' and the game shows FF4's English Logo with "A free translation project produced by Tempus Chabi......." below it.

So this make me wonder 2 things:
1-From where that game is running? Huh

It's really weird.
2-How could someone make such a PC port himself which plays perfectly? Huh

I thought that I should tell this to you.

But whoever done this, did a great job. But I wish emulator is older than the one which supports wii-mote's speaker so that he will lack the most interesting feature in my view. Tongue

Whatever, Anyone know where to buy Grandia III, I had one but it got scratches. Not online.

Open the .dat with wordpad, maybe you'll see something, or use a Hex editor...

Hey, I checked opening it with notepad & wordpad, notepad says file too large and wordpad says can't open the file.

IDK about hex editor

OK I checked it with Hex editor too and file opened but I don't know how to use this program.

I searched for '.iso', 'fatal frame', 'DOLPHIN', etc and I found some links+.iso+emulator. But I don't know what to do with those. I'm gonna try my best to find out how that game is running. Maybe the .dat can be extracted.

Fatal Frame IV... This game was Japanese only, so I guess you have to patch it. If you want, simply look around this Forum on how to apply the language pack.
