This is a full undub patch of Rockman ZX Advent, also known as Mega Man ZX Advent, a 2D platformer published by Capcom for the NDS in 2007.
The patch is done by transferring voices, videos and graphics from the Japanese into the American ROM. All in-game terminology was restored to original (Rockman, Repliroid, Irregular, Livemetal, etc).
Features
- Every piece of original Japanese voice acting is present.
- Same as the ZX undub patch, all in-game terminology is restored to original.
- Did you know that even the English dub of this game left out the voicing of some dialogues that are voiced in the Japanese version? Mainly it's briefings characters recieve upon entering a new area. These are restored too.

User guide
Translation notes
Due to English game script being much longer than the Japanese one, not all dialogue boxes ended up having an associated voice clip. It doesn't mean some clips are lost. It just means that some blocks of text which fit into one box in Japanese, now have to be split in two due to a longer text (Japanese text is much more compact than English).
The voice for such two split blocks plays during the first of them, so if you wanna hear everything, don't scroll the dialogues too fast. Technically, this is fixable by completely rewriting all the game's text to fit the original number of blocks, but no volunteers thus far.
