MapleStory DS - English Translation Project.

So MapleStory has been released and people are in need of a translation. Well the time has come. I'm not new to the scene, yet I am new to the whole hacking progress. A team is slowly being formed with high expectations and willing to work. Thanks to Darth Nemesis for providing us with so much assistance and getting us on our feet, without him this would have probably died.

Our Current Plan Of Attack:
Release a full menu translation (inc. items, equips, skills, etc.).
After the menu translation is complete we will move on to the completion of the games story.

The Present Team:
DarkFrost: Lead Hacker
Darth Nemesis: Hacker
Sedicius: Lead Translator
Hiraoka Minoru: Translator
Clashthunder: Translator
Skyline969: Editor
Darksage098: Editor/Translator

Some Screens (Remember These Are Simply Beta Shots):



Stone Puzzle:
Stone Puzzle Answer

Current Translation Site (Private):

So with that I hope for this translation to be a success.

WE WILL ANNOUNCE ANY PROGRESS MADE, BE PATIENT. PLEASE KEEP THREAD ON TOPIC AND DO NOT FLAME.

I love you guys. If I knew Korean, I would help you ;_;

Yay! Can't wait to see where this goes ;D. Good luck.
I'm so going to play if you guys translate the important parts. o-o;

ok...this is awkward for me to post here....but i am a maplestory fan since 2001....
and i play private servers (Bad Me! "But i Don't Care") after i found out how evil nexon was..
still...that it came out for ds was a thrill to my heart and it made me joyful...now that i see a translation project is taking place i am more THRILLED of joy
keep up the good work

Um. In the other thread I volunteered to be an editor, to help with grammar punctuation etc. But I don't know what I would be doing exactly.

Well, for the time being I won't add you to the team since there is nothing to edit yet. But you are correct, as an editor you would check for grammar, punctuation, spelling etc. Report the errors with fixes and such, for them to be implemented and fixed. Tho, if we are in need of an editor I'll let you and others know. For the time being we are currently in need of a hacker. Thats all thats left to get this project on a roll, and currently I find that translating seems to be one complex thing to learn.

*Slams his head on desk for not being a hacker*

I hope you guys find one

thank u

This much progress? When was it dumped, yesterday? Well, that's a great sign!
I have pretty much stopped playing the MMO (I have to run it through a virtual machine and the controls match a lot of the commands -_-; ) but I am very much interested in the DS game. Actually have played some myself *coughacekardcough* and find it to be pretty fun. I'd love to volunteer to be the hacker, but the extent of my ability is not enough for full on translations. Plus, my current schedule probably won't allow a project as this.

A gripe of mine is the control scheme though. I'm gonna work on making an AR code to swap the A and B buttons.

oh, that'd be great

Mashing B > mashing A

Yeah, don't you hate it when games mess it up?

Can we please keep this thread on topic.

the problem with doing a game like this is by the time you are done with the patch, the game will basically be already out in english and then NO one will use this patch. So as much as we may appreciate it, you're ultimately wasting thousands of hours of your life.
