EDIT 28/9/17 Since I'm a little bit busy, I couldn't translate, and I have no free time, this is still alive, but this will be in slow mode.
Also, cheuble is helping me for this time
Also, i must thanks to Ploaj for helping me with the damn .std files! thanks dude! :3
Thank you guys!

Join to the official Project Snipy: Pokémon Card Game Asokabita DS translation Discord server!
https://discord.gg/72FEngN
*I will put my log right here now.
*sometimes i will record a video about the progress.
*You can discuss about the game and the translation right here.


Well folks! since i have 2 months of vacations and i don't have nothing better to do, i'm translating Pokémon Card Game Asokabita DS! finally after years...

-Tools i'm currently using:
*CrystalTile2 (Text Hex Editor)
*NFTEdit (Font editor -- i remplaced Katakana and Hiragana with ABC font)
*DSLazy (Unpacker and Packer)
*KiwiDS (file viewer and modifier)
*Quick Pokémon Card Thing (lol Ploaj did this for .std files)


-Issues:
*Can't open SFA and STD files ;O; (basically, images are STD files? so i can't modify the images ;w; - Idk about NAF files. ----also the game have a test menu and debug stuff uhhh? )
We did it thanks to Ploaj from The VG Resource! Thanks!
*Some little issues in game-text, like:
NANAMI
Then, let me bring
my
2 decks!
Nah, it's fixed. lol

But sometimes, the game is so weird that i just wrote "The coin too!"
and the game acts weird, and types:

The coin too! oin to
o!
Yeah! I will learn how to play
this! earn how to play this!!

-I decided translate the game because:

*I'm bored as heck in my vacations lol.
*I love Pokémon Trading Card Game.
*I saw there's no translation of this game.
*I know now use Hex Editors.
*Japanese stuff pls.
*since i know japanese, i can understand and modify the text to english :P


THE TRANSLATION IS STILL IN PROGRESS. DON'T ASK FOR DOWNLOAD. I WILL PUT THE PATCH WHEN I'VE TRANSLATED MOST TEXT OF THE GAME.
Probably i will add the patch when i had like 40% or 50%

Basically, progress is...:
Text: New update! 7/7/7 11:17PM! 8%
*Some rules has been translated
*Some anime-cutscenes has been translated, but with minor text issues.
Images: Nah.
11/07/27 4:52PM
Text: 14% (too much battle text!)
Images: 2%

Not here! now in discord!
I repeat again, i can't access to .NAF and .STD files, I think .STD files are the images?/card images? because i can see the folder name is "card" and inside comes the cards images (?) with .STD file extension.

(Also for those who can't find the ROM, i guess uhh... put the rom in my mega folder?)

*The translation will be a patch. so you just need patch it with your favorite IPS patcher :P

I will leave you with some pics of what i've translating :P

Logs:
7/7/17 (Wow!)
I created this thread, or was yesterday? anyway.
*Some more text has been translated like:
*some titles
*some anime-cutscene
Now doesn't have text issues. like:
Then let me bring my
2
decks!
Now it's fixed. now current display is:
Then let me bring my
2 decks to battle!
7/7/17 2:38PM
*Some more text translated!
-Rules has been updated.
-Some Battle text has been translated.
7/7/7 11:07PM
*Finally first anime-cutscence finished!
*fixed some text issues.
*Font looks a little bit better.
8/7/2017 12:38AM
*Trying to access to SDT files...
*Mini-katakana and hiragana has been translated. this applies for characters names, (in anime-cutscene) and in rules menu (like Poison, Burned, Board, Coin, etc.)
I WILL NO POST ANYMORE MY LOG HERE. CHECK OUT THE DISCORD LOG CHANNEL.

Also i think this will be my first project i make in my life. lol. name? uhhh, project snipy?
i think i will upload more often videos about text updates or idk. lol. and about my progress i guess i will post right here.

I should mention I'm going to be helping out with stuff like grammar and trying to figure out how to edit these damn .std files.
Also, for anyone wondering what the icon looks like

You're right. i'm still waiting for Pokémon Card GB 3 because:

In Pokémon Card GB When you finish the game, it says at the final "To be continued..." (english patch pls)

so, i'm still waiting for Pokémon Card GB3. after Pokémon Card GB2, this game came (Pokémon Card Game Asobikata DS) and they never did Pokémon Card Game 3 :cry:

you could add a vwf, the letter spacing is kinda bad, and that way you could add more characters
vwf?
I remplaced ll ghe katakana and hiragana with ABC font, so, i cannot make it more "lighter".because every font uses 4 pixels (incluiding Hex value) to show it in the game.
More characters? uhh.. this is the reason why is a game, right? Every chapter has new characters.
The only issue i currently have: can't open .std files and .saf files, and i have some text issues, i've fixing most text issues.

Variable Width Font. From the pics you have the game uses a fixed width font, which takes a lot of space and you will end up with stiff sounding sentences. A VWF will serve as a workaround to that issue, letting you add more characters per text-box.

Just for this time, i will reply this.

We have access to .std files, some .std files and other nah. i wonder why
Anyway, this time, didn't freezed! so we can start editing images and images-text too!
but of course, we need to load the others .std files because most files are just .std (images) and .saf (animations?) files. aren't common NDS files...

SWEET. Me loves vwfs. Can you change the spacing of the l letter? I remember i had to modify the font file of the game to make the l's spacing a bit lower. Btw how did you do it?
I simply edited the font with NFTRedit. You simply have to edit the option "Next Offset" for each character you want to modify.

    I got this ps4 at launch and never updated since 9.0

    You got a good chance of buying a used one and asking the seller how often they used or even ask for a Pic of fw and telling them not to update

    Speaking of PLaystation. I see Evilnat put out a beta for PS3 CFW 4.91.2 on the 22nd.

    Don't really see the point in updating it tbh
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea you right, I thought about updating my PS3 CFW to 4.91, but why really, everything plays fine now. I guess for people that have already updated past 4.9 it would be helpful.

    Idk if online servers are still active that would be my only thought

    Thats true, personally I don't play it online at all, in fact, I deleted all wifi details on it once I installed CFW, so it won't connect and auto-update itself

    I play most games that are on both PS3/360 strickly on the 360, but PS3 exclusives are really only games I play on the PS3 (You know me, I'm more of a Xbox junkie)
