You guys make me laugh. If he had "hand" corrected and cleaned only 4:3 video frames "individually", he would have had a bunch of users asking why is there no 16:9 version for their funky new monitors. He hand corrected frames, I'll say that again: He hand corrected frames in his own time. HE made the decision to go with 16:9 and dedicated his time to fixing up that version. Then shared his hard work for you guys. If you want 4:3 so bad, then I keenly await YOUR hand cleaned and corrected 4:3 versions so we can all, share delight, and pick them to pieces for not working on our systems. Let's start the clock.... Max, keep doing what you are doing - most of us appreciate you.

You are not the first:

<Deleted> Oops...

This game is so cool now, loving the CAT Happy Holidays 🎉

Was that a feature of the arcade version ?

You can get a zip file with all the batch files from the Hypseus Github release page.

No idea what you are talking about....

There is nothing wrong with the game. Rethink your strategy 😂

I don't see any reports of issues on IA. But check GitHub to be sure if you want to be certain you have latest LUA. There have been reports that the Taito LD Game Collection version of Hayate is over-saturated in red color, looking again, I personally have to agree.

I hope you do v1 as overlay is more authentic:

Which overlay version are you looking to do, there seem to be multiple versions? An archive seems to be on IA with recent upload dates. https://archive.org/details/singev1-hayate https://archive.org/details/hypseus_singe_hayate-hd

Having experimented with creating video for Daphne/Hypseus in the past, it's all about frame accuracy and maintaining FPS. So cropping the (it appears) first 157 frames of video, and the appropriate edit to the audio, (you can perhaps use the existing .ogg file as it should match), then it should (in theory) work in Hypseus. Basically look to match the existing MPEG2 video frames, as that IA MPEG2 seems to have been done by someone who figured it out. There are ffmpeg commands on how to correctly encode the .m2v and .ogg for Daphne and Hypseus on the Hypseus game LUA GitHub pages. So that would be my starting point. But ultimately testing the video files in the game and carefully watching scene changes are the way to be certain.

Here's another interesting source I just found. https://archive.org/details/youtube-HMtN7cIlMYk But it's already MP4 from 2 known existing prototype laserdiscs (alleged). Now this gets interesting, as the frames/scenes may not necessarily be in the same order as the Limited Edition footage. But parts of this could be used to reconstruct the prototype footage. But it's gonna take lots of time and dedication to match it to the LE frames, which will be required in order to play on the dle21 ROM from the DLP site. Note this ROM plays in Daphne and Hypseus, not just Dexter as the page states. You wanted a restoration task, well here it is... Let's see who actually picks it up.

You can do want you want in the transfer, include disregarding the lead-in frames. The 8 minutes of "prototype" footage was discarded decades ago and only (re)discovered on VHS for the Limited Edition, that VHS footage was tagged onto the end of the original laserdisc. Hence it looks like, well a VHS capture. Because it is. No other known capture exists as yet, I believe, it was used to reconstruct the early game as detailed on the DLP: https://www.dragons-lair-project.com/tech/enhancements/dle2x_prototype_mode.asp
