#lain

Through a lucky course of events, the folks over at a Lain IRC channel ran across my page. As farhan put it, "i suppose lain favours your blog". The people were friendly, and I met an excellent tester that helped with the jPSXdec development (thanks phm!).

If you love Lain, and know how to get around IRC (or can fake it, like I do ;), then feel free to join us at IRCnet (open.ircnet.net or maybe irc.ircnet.com) #lain.

Since I began the task of decoding the Serial Experiments Lain Playstation movies years ago, I've hoped some friendly multi-lingual folks might someday translate all the audio and movies into English. I've always assumed the translated media would be downloadable, separate from the game itself, until I met a fellow who had the lofty desire to put the translated media back into the game.

I wondered what he was going to do about the 2 hours of audio. Dubbing seems the only option. But while finally playing through the whole game the other night, I found there are many sound-effects and characters in the audio portions. I would hate to lose all that to dubbing (not to mention my preference for sub-titles).

However, I also noticed the pictures shown in the background as you listen to audio, and I started thinking...


Not an actual screen-shot (you can tell by the pixels), but I have the ability to make it so. This isn't a perfect solution, but could be an alternative to dubbing (and it's probably easier too).
