So, today I had to downgrade my overkill Win9x PC from a GeForce 4 Ti 4600 128MB to GeForce 4 MX440 128MB DDR, due to some weird artifacts. At least it is AGP 8x and still has 128MB DDR, but it remains a rebranded GF2 DX7 GPU. I'm not sure the GPU is really dead, though. It seems like an actual BGA problem, because squeezing the cooler affects the artifacts, but I don't know for sure either way. It's not like I have a BGA rework station either, so...
The lower end GPU still runs the games fine, so it's not that bad. I also noticed that GeForce 3 and 4 GPUs are kinda hard to find around here, while pretty much anything else (except 3dfx of course) is fairly common.

Might as well share the full specs of my system:

Spoiler
  • Board: ASRock775i65G R3.0
  • CPU: Intel Pentium Dual-Core E5800 3.2GHz
  • RAM: 2GB (2x1GB DDR400)
  • GPU: GeForce 4 MX440 8x 128MB DDR
  • HDD1: WD400JB-00ENA0 40GB IDE
  • HDD2: WD800JB-00JJC0 80GB IDE
  • OS 1: Windows ME (+ Unofficial Service Pack, PATCHMEM)
  • OS 2: Windows XP Pro SP3 (+ POSReady2009 Updates)
  • OS 3: Devuan 6 32-bit (broken mess, might reinstall, GRUB makes multiboot easy)

The only issue I really have with the system is that it takes a bit to POST, but one it does, it works fine.

Nice !
I don't speak Italian, French so it's not for me, but for sure it will help for those who have problem with English.

If you'd like, I've saved every single text file pertaining to every specific character in the game—223 of them (some, at least ten, are blank and without any lines of dialogue)—if you'd like to try translating them or take a look (but be careful about the parts that absolutely shouldn't be translated, the lengths, the variables, etc.)—I think it might make translating them into different languages ​​easier. The U6Edit tool was a great help with this.
