Hmm. I just thought of something. We complain about the length of time it takes for games companies to translate games. They think it costs too much money. We can edit the files free. You're translating it right now, the whole thing it looks like. You crack DS roms, right? Can you do the oppostie? Put DS rom files back into an empty DS cartridge?
Everyone here is a bunch of geniuses. I'm sure you'd be able to. But I'm not suggesting that so you can sell it as your own...
Games companies complain about money. You're translating the games for free. Imagine if the games companies could do that.
People have made tools to help make editing games easier, for example the Inazuma Hacking Tools. The games companies use a long-winded method. One .bin file in the PKB and PKH files would take hours to translate.
We don't have enough time to translate all the games, but what about the people who translate these games for a living? It would be cheaper for them. They didn't have the time to create those tools. You did.
If hackers and gaming companies work together, they can change the gaming industry forever. The hacker's ingenuity, combined with the gaming company's knowledge of where everything else... And if you could work out a way to put a DS rom file in an empty cartridge... Everyone wins! Except the people who hack the games for money and profit, but they're doing something very bad, so it still works out, because everyone here hacks/translates games purely for the benifit of everyone else. It's a very kind thing to do. They could only translate it for other people, because they understand it themselves which I think is amazing.
(That sounds like a line from Young Dracula, "Vampires and Slayers need to work together.")
Sorry if it's a dumb idea, but I don't think it is. The only potential problem I can see is putting the DS rom file in an empty cartridge, but it can't be a problem for this forum, surely, can it?
Although, about the time isue mentioned in the fifth paragraph, allowing everyone to help translate is truly a genius idea, completely brilliant. But I think that this idea could go, if not places, somewhere. I personally think this idea could go somewhere.
Thanks for reading.
