Well, I'm pretty sure she's not in the script, so it's understandable. But she is in the PC version, so it does matter.

The bosses still talk to her, she just never responds.

New screens, new script, new font.

Yes.

And the original game uses two lines, so... just keeping with tradition.

Is it resurrection day or what???
Almost all the project i take part somehow, are getting somewhere just today heheh

Looks really good! I wish is was the Xbox version though! Speaking of the Xbox versions (of which there are three), I think you HG101 article is a bit incorrect. Here's what you have:

"The Xbox version, published by Media Quest, is dubbed Shikigami no Shiro Evolution and was released in two separate versions. The Red version included an art gallery while the Blue version contained developer interviews. There's also a new Evolution mode which revises some of the game elements."

What you should have said:

"The Xbox version was published by Media Quest and released on March 14th, 2002. A few months later, on December 19th, they released an updated version, dubbed Shikigami no Shiro Evolution. This game added some new bonus features, a new Evolution mode which revises some of the game elements, and a second disc, a PC CD-Rom. Publisher MediaQuest pulled off a variant cover gimmick for Shikigami no Shiro Evolution where the girls in the game are featured on the cover of a "Red" version and the boys appear on the front of the "Blue" Edition. The Blue version's PC disc is called 'Confidential' and the Red version's is called, 'Complete', presumably both with different content. The Xbox discs, however, other than the color and artwork on the disc, are identical.

First, here are box shots of the three versions:

Shikigami no Shiro (Xbox):

Shikigami no Shiro Evolution (Ai/ Blue) (Xbox):

Shikigami no Shiro Evolution (Beni/ Red) (Xbox) (called 'Rainbow' in the link below for some reason?):
http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-01-49-en-70-1uw.html

I have come to this conclusion due to the following. This quote from http://www.shopncsx.com/shikigaminoshiroblue.aspx :


"NCSX: Publisher MediaQuest pulls off a variant cover gimmick where the girls in the game are featured on the cover of a 'Red' version and the boys appear on the front of the 'Blue' Edition."

In addition, the Japanese text on the back of the red and blue versions are identical, other than concerning the CD-ROM.

I own the non-Evolution version for Xbox, as well as the blue covered Evolution version. Here are the options on both:

Original:

NORMAL 
PRACTICE MODE
OPTION
 (In option mode)
\tSCREEN (two options, in Japanese)
\tDIFFICULTY (5 variations)
\tWAIT (on or off)
\tBGM VOLUME
\tSE VOLUME
\tBGM TEST (12 tracks)
\tGALLERY (10 pics)
\tEXIT

Evolution (Blue at least, probably Red):

Evo. MODE
NORMAL 
PRACTICE MODE
OPTION
 (In option mode)

\tEXIT\t
\tSCREEN (NORMAL, ARCADE, ROTATE) (in English)
\tDIFFICULTY (5 variations)
\tWAIT (on or off)
\tBGM VOLUME
\tSE VOLUME
\tBGM TEST (13 tracks)
\tMOVIE TEST (plays the intro)\t
\tGALLERY (same 10 pics)
\tBUTTON ASSIGN
\tSIDE STORY (nothing more than 14 pages of text in Japanese)

Now, I haven't unlocked anything, so I'm not sure if more stuff opens up. But everything points to both Evo versions having the same content. I'm not sure where the "making of" stuff is located.

The hacking tool is finally done. Now the real work begins. The game has been genuinely cracked.

All we have to do is implement(and finalize) the text.


In case you're curious, the reason the game has been hell to hack is because the text is not script based, it's graphic based.

Bam.

Open call for beta testers is go. Message me or email me if you're interested. Familiarity with bullet hell shmups is nice, but not required. Familiarity with Japanese and/or the original script(which we have for reference) would be better, but also not required.
