The problems from this article are relevant only for GTA 4, because for cyrillic texts it use magic (idiotic) encoding (because the first versions of the game used one byte per char, this thing was changed to 2 bytes after patch, but encoding was the same), so you need to decode text for correctly viewing/reading.

But in case of Max Payne 3 the manipulations, which are described in this article, have no sense because, the game use the most common UTF-8 encoding, so each char have size of 2 bytes.

Didn't get what you're saying ... but I can tell that GTA IV gxt has no such encoding at all ... it just uses other chars in characters table ... so there's no need for them to patch somehow ... just need correct charset which is from 8E to CD

I just wanted to say that you don't need to do anything with MP3 text encoding, just edit text as UTF-8.
