Densha de Go! Plug & Play Chime Patcher

This patch restores the original station jingles, musical horn, and limited express passenger announcement jingles in Densha de Go! Plug & Play.

Requirements

You need to have a PC installation of Densha de Go! Final to copy some chime files from, and Densha de Go! Plug & Play Ver.1.13. In addition to those, you will also need a USB flash drive and a powered USB OTG hub. Please have at least 2GB free on the USB flash drive for a backup.

The USB OTG hub I use can be found here. You can also use an angle adapter instead of a hub, but I find the quality inconsistent, meaning that sometimes it may not make contact properly and cause issues.

Usage

1. From your Densha de Go! Final installation, copy all files in cddata\dengo\Chime to the Chime folder here.
2. Prepare a USB drive by formatting it to FAT32. Make sure that there is a partition table present, and the FAT32 partition is the first one, as the factory script specifically looks at the first partition. Please search online if you need instructions on how to do this.
3. Copy all of the files in this repository (including the Chime folder you just put some files into) into the root of your USB drive. Eject the USB drive from your computer after it is finished copying.
4. Plug the USB drive into your USB OTG hub, then plug the hub into the micro USB port on the back of your Densha de Go! Plug & Play. Plug the power cable for your USB OTG hub into the hub and a USB power adapter.
5. Turn on your Densha de Go! Plug & Play.
6. The patching script will stop the game app and make a backup of your game files, then patch the game executable and copy over the chimes. While this is in progress, the door light will light. When it is complete, the unit will shut down and you can unplug the USB hub and plug in a regular USB power cable. If there is an error during processing, the door light will flash. If an error occurs, you can find a log at log.txt on the USB drive.
7. If the patching was successful, you should now be able to hear the original station jingles, musical horns, and limited express passenger announcment jingles.

Note: depending on the speed of your USB drive, the backup stage may take a long time. Expect it to take 30-60 minutes to complete. Once it has been completed, you can rerun the patching process without going through backup again if necessary. Please safekeep the backup files: dgtyp3zzzz.tar.gz, dgtyp3zzzz.tar.gz.md5, and installed.md5.

Uninstallation

Place a blank file named revert on to the USB drive and repeat steps 4-6 to revert the patch. Please do this if you need to reapply an updated version of the patch.
