A while ago now, I created English subtitles for Gabriel Knight 2, the only game in the series that lacks subtitles.

Since I don't know anything about programming etc, I used a pre-existing patch created by a guy called 'kelmer' which introduced Spanish subtitles to the game. What I did was remove the Spanish lines and replace them with English lines I got from watching the game videos and writing down what was being said. This means there might be some errors here and there, but I think it's pretty good overall.

And now, a guy called 'Collector' from some cool GK forums has created a very nice installer for the patch. It now works for both the Windows and DOS versions (used to only work for the Windows version).
It now also supports the deinterlacing patch (included in the installer he created).

You can get it here -

Here is what it looks like (ignore the thing about only working in the Windows version, that was before he created this installer.. I'll fix it using annotations later) -

Was a lot of work but I think it was worth it... pretty happy with the results overall.

laffer35: it is rare I see PC "rom hackers" but I applaud them when they "hack" a game on the pc. So I will clap my hands for you , since that is definitely some serious great work. Thumps up the modern way to you 😀 the ancient way, then the thumps up sign was a death ticket(it meant let the gods have you). Yeah it is true, to you I will give you the modern thumps up 😀 even though you didn´t make the program, but you did put in the subtitles 😀

Thank you 😀

A big thanks goes to Collector on the GK forums for making the excellent installer. I tested it out myself and it works perfectly, even in the DOS version.
