Īnd there is transferred to the effective Na It will not be the defensive blunder to. The text in the game pretty much starts at DEC: 347391Įnperosu customers, DaiMitsuru, has returned Tada the fastest way Ive found to translate. Copy and paste whatever you get from Jwpce. Just open the text dump file.Ĥ) Translator: Google translate - The quick lazy way to translate. Select the hex string and dump.ģ) Japanese Word Processor: Jwpce - Allows you to take the dump from XVI32 and change it to the Japanese. Repeat for as many characters as needed.Ģ) Hex Editor: XVI32 - I found this years ago and it has the dump feature I used. Start looking for a repeating pattern thats the same or double the length of the name. Start by changing the main characters name to all of the same character, save and open the save in your hex editor. I don't really have a good process for ripping apart the rom, but here is a very useful trick that I found on the net that made all the difference in making this translation.ġ) Map the Japanese characters to hex. I would just have to take my time and some creative licensing to get everything to fit. Now if the script was fully dumped (with locations of where it came from) and translated (properly - not Google translate) there shouldn't be too much hassle in inserting the text.

This is why I had to abbreviate things and get creative with the naming. At first glance that looks nice but it screws up the way the text orients on the screen. The Japanese code uses 2 spaces per character while the English only uses 1 space. The text has 2 restrictions as best as I can tell. Sadly I was never able to get the Japanese characters to show in any hex editor and I didn't like the script dump route. Even so here is a quick writeup (that should answer most questions) of what went into this project and its status. Sorry but I dont think I am the person that can do this. I of all people know the pain of waiting for this game to be transulated. Sorry I haven't gotten back to some of your questions sooner than this.
