The Fate/Stay Night VNDS port is generated from the original game files by using a specially written program. The convertor program had some silly assumptions about folder structure and also didn't work if the default system encoding was something other than CP1252. You also needed to run all the substeps manually, including extracting and converting all the images and sounds.

I've since fixed all those problems and added a little GUI window to tweak all the quality settings. The voice quality was pretty low in v1.0, so I've increased the default quality considerably. (The old quality setting was 70, it's now 90). I've also increased the music quality, added a step to remove redundant JPEG headers and I'm now pngcrush'ing the sprites. The convertor also has an optional setting to reduce the number of colors sprites use (decreases image quality, but also file size).

In addition the download contains new versions of my VNDS sound encoder and image convertor programs. The old version of the image convertor sometimes generated JPEG images unreadable by VNDS -- this should no longer be the case.

As usual for feature requests and bug reports visit the VNDS forum or send me an email.
