Comment (by dreammaster):

 Okay, then. The original game had a flag for data files to be compressed
 with the "LZSS compression". I think we've got decoders for it, but I'm
 not sure if the PSX version is using the same compression or not. For now
 I've committed in a change to the error messages to at least show which
 file was compressed. I suspect, though, that getting the Japanese version
 would/will require more work than just the compressed files.. Japanese
 versions of games typically require a bunch of changes to the font system
 as well as how strings are handled. There was a PC Japanese detection
 entry for the engine, but since it had a "japanese.smp" file as part of
 the detection but the engine code was hardcoded to english.smp, it had
 obviously never been actually tested. So at least I was able to mark it as
 unstable as well.

 I'm going to leave this enhancement ticket open; chances are, it's going
 to wait on a developer with the Japanese PSX version to look further into
 this. Or at least someone willing to work on it further, in which case a
 copy of the Japanese version could be obtained.
