PS3 Initial D: Extreme Stage [BLJM-60055] - English patch

[Lambada]

This is a partial english translation by froid_sans aka @happydance

This is just a beta English patch to a supposedly partial English patch of
Initial D: Extreme Stage, that I have unfortunately put on hold and stopped
working on since 12/24/2014 due to some issues that I've never got hold of
the modified images a friend of mine was working on and got busy with my
other projects. I'm just releasing it now since some might have a use for
it and enjoy the game partially patched even though not completed and wont
just be wasted hiding privately on my pc.
I have not fully bug tested this since 2014 and just made a patch from my last
working backup and tested a bit. There are a lot of version of this game and
this patch is specifically for Initial D: Extreme Stage [BLJM60055]. Not sure
if I'm able to revive this project but I'll try to have a look again and maybe
port it to the BLJM50053 version with is a much more common version of the
game and also have a IRD useful for verification of the integrity of the files.

How to patch:

• 1. Extract your ISO backup to a JB (folder type)
• 2. Copy the 2d.xdelta, car.xdelta, EBOOT.xdelta, patch.bat and xdelta3.exe inside your Initial D game directory run patch.bat and wait for it to finish.
• 3. Copy your BACKUP folder just in case you failed to make a whole backup of your game and you can delete 2d.xdelta, car.xdelta, EBOOT.xdelta, patch.bat and xdelta3.exe inside your Initial D game directory.
• 4. After it's finished, if you want to convert your game folder (JB) back to ISO again use PS3 ISO TOOLS .

Nice, not sure how many people on this forum are familar with these games. I have all of the arcade games on Teknoparrot and the older ones on Demul playable with my steering wheel. Extreme Stage is a console port of Initial D Stage 4.

Yep it emulates arcade games that came out in the last 20 years. Here's the list of games it's an awesome emulator https://teknogods.github.io/compatibility.html
