ROM Hack Translation project for Pokémon Black2 & White2

[Kyohack]

Hello fellow 'Tempers! I am here to announce our translation project for Pokémon Black2 & White2. If you know Japanese or are able to hack DS ROMs, then please join our team! We don't support piracy. Instead, we encourage you to support Nintendo, and get the official Black2 and White2 games.

We are now working together with ProjectPokemon, and our translation work is being merged! Stay tuned at either site, for the latest news and patches (our patches will soon be identical).

If you have any questions or would like to discuss the games, then be sure to visit our live chat: http://pokecheats.net/chat.php


REMEMBER:

• Do not ask for ROMs and do not share them!!
• Do not use automatic translators!
• You can change the language of Pokémon names in the settings.
• Since version 1.3, the patch is confirmed to work by itself without any other changes. (you don't need to apply other patches or mess with the ROM)
• Please report your issues, by visiting our GitHub and pressing "New issue".
• If you have a mac, then use this patching utility instead: http://projects.sapp...multipatch.html

Instructions:
Below, I have attached a ROM patch that reflects our progress so far. I have also included the xDelta ROM patching utility. Make sure you use a clean un-edited ROM when applying the patch. Since version 1.2, the translation patch includes the 2CH AP Fix v2, so you do not need to patch for anti-piracy. To patch the ROM, download and then unzip the file below. Then open the xdeltaUI mod program, and select the patch file. Then choose your clean ROM for the source file. After that, type a name like pokemon.nds for the output file. Press apply and wait for it to say "Patch successful". Make sure that your ROM has the same name as your save file. If your flash cart has trouble, then make sure you have the latest firmware, and then copy all files from your SD card to your computer, then format your SD card, then copy your files back to your SD card.

Having trouble?
If you are experiencing lag, glitches, or random freezes, then format your SD card with the Panasonic SD Formatter. Do not trim the ROM. Make sure your flashcart is using the latest firmware. See below, for specific instructions for your emulator or flashcart:

well first of all we need to know what type of encriptation the rom has, just remember how long we took to find where the script and items description were...
Edit (more info added): tho if the encryptation was the same BW1 had over 10 folders and 3subfolders and so in each folder... im no DS rom hacker, but i remembered what happened >_>

still i could help, knowing basics of japanese is helpfull

 

[Nathan Drake]

Why? There's going to only be three or four months to wait. I think we'll all live. I never understand when people feel like translating a game that has a confirmed localization coming.

yes, i agree with you, but just remember that there are people who cant wait a second xD

 

[Sylar1]

Nothing is translated yet? This is taking too long.

there are no roms yet xD
no roms = no translation

what i try to say is that the game hasn't been released on japan. also there are no leaks.
we need to wait until someone leaks it to the internet or someone upload the retail RIP the sameday or a day after the release.

Hey dude the rom hasn't been released!

 

[AzureuzZetsunai]

hur hur. release date: 6/23/12 ... hope im not mistaken

Edit:
nope

 

[Sorox]

I'd be willing to help, but I'm not all TOO proficient in Japanese. i know Hiragana, some katakana, and I used to know about 200 Kanji, but that's sort of declined to knowing about 10-15. Once we find out where the scripts are, I'll translate words here and there, but that's all i'm good for.

Whoa man, this is pretty confusing. You should pull it back a few steps and explain more slowly.

okay... Resume: wait till 06/23/12

 

[Vulpes Abnocto]

That big word in bold lettering on the splash screen. It says "Pokemon".
I have now contributed, and the translation has proceeded to 1%.

Gee I love it when people are willing to kill to get their pokefix earlier than all their neighbors.

 

[Sorox]

Back on topic guys. Doesn't matter what the process of release is, we just need the rom.

Haha. I actually still haven't finished the first B&W.

And the splash screen was in english to begin with isn;t it?

 

[Sylar1]

okay... Resume: wait till 06/23/12

But this topic is for the rom translation, it even has 0% for everything. People wouldn't post a translation topic for a rom thats not out yet
