So I have been trying to understand all the input from everyone. Some I get, some I don't. I'm a visual learner type of person. But I was checking out the pointer stuff in m3000.pre to see if I could find any kind of matching patterns or OP codes. The only thing I have come up with is the fact that for each bit of dialog, if it doesn't change character, the pointer stays the same. It's late and I have lost track of my thought. Will have to use fresh eyes to look at this tomorrow. Oh how I wish Falcom wasn't so sloppy with their games. Trash all over the place. Check back for either an edited post or a new one.

Well because the character is inside the script itself. 0x5c is the dialogue box opcode, it's 0x5c, 2 more bytes, then the string. The first byte after 0x5c is the character number. 00 is Lloyd, 01 is Elie, 02 is Tio, 03 is Randy, etc.

I've been mapping out opcodes, but I'm getting stuck in places where I can't breakpoint them in the game.

EDIT: Ok so this is as far as I got, and I'm actually going to stop now because this is way too annoying/difficult/tedious.

Format of these is [opcode, description, length]. Length is minus the opcode byte.

Stupidly I didn't mark down the jumps when I saw them, I only did it for 0x3, but a whole bunch of opcodes have jumps in them that would need fixing.

#0001F#11Pどうだ……ティオ？- Text view
5C 01 01 23 30 30 30 31 46 23 31 31 50 82 C7 82 A4 82 BE 81 63 81 63 83 65 83 42 83 49 81 48 - Hex view

\ - This is where the pointers mentioned earlier point to. Goes for pointers after this one also.
#0001F - This is an image for the face. Tested changing it around with others. Works.
#11P - Dialog box position
...then the dialog.

For the screens I changed the #11P to #12P (I think) and you can see the results.
Tried see if the position of the #11P might affect the placement of the image but so far haven't made much progress due to about 1 billion distractions. Hopefully this makes sense. Kind of rushed in posting it.

Small addition: in Sora no Kiseki FC, there's also "#1K", which indicate multiple dialog boxes in the same screen.

 

[zero_g_monkey]

Sorry for the lack of updates the past few days. This is the first time I have been able to get on my PC since then. I had done some work on the image stuff for the menus but nothing ready to show. I might be reconsidering a partial patch but it is a long ways off. Who knows. Good work on those OP codes. Wish I knew more about mapping them and all that good stuff. I'm was just gonna ram the text into position but those could be real handy to have. Hoping to get back to dumping the text folder stuff for translation tomorrow.

 

[flame1234]

Even for no change in the string length, I think it'd be helpful to have an inserter program. That way you could edit in a text editor rather than a hex editor, which is probably easier for translating. Almost certainly easier for translation checking. I could be wrong on this as I am pretty new here...

Have you already written a dumper? Can you post your code?

Just for fun let's count the number of bin files and then estimate 98% of them have dialog (not all of them have dialog).
bin files = 318, dialog files ~= 312 (estimate)

Is there a tutorial on opcode mapping somewhere?

 

[Kelebek]

Well they're read at 0880A004 and 089477BC among other places, so you can breakpoint those, and see where the next opcode is that it hits, that gives you the size of it. You'd have to actually step through each one to find out what the data sizes are, because you can't reimport them back without knowing that.

You could just pretty much skip all of it I suppose and only focus on the opcodes that have jumps in them, but just in trying to do that you'd probably still have to go through each opcode otherwise you don't know if it's an actual opcode or just one of the variables for another opcode, so you're probably still stuck. But at least in re-importing you could skip all the data sizes by just copying the original, but still you'd need to map out every opcode to go through and get the ones with jumps in them.

So far I've seen that 0x55, 0x5c and 0x5e have text in them, and 0x2, 0x3 have jumps and 0x8 calls external functions, I think.

 

[zero_g_monkey]

Finally getting some work done on the translation side. Got about 50% of the monsters done and a little less of the weapons/items. Probably gonna have to pass off what I can't get done to somebody else when I finally get stuck.

About a dumper, unfortunately I have to do it the hard way. I use Wind Hex to dump it and just edit everything into position with notepad (notepad++ doesn't support some of the characters I need). I wish I was a coder because the same tools could be used for Ao no Kiseki also. It would also make updating these damn pointers a whole lot easier. But considering the amount of time it will take to translate the dialog, I have the real easy job.

I get the purpose of the OP codes but it seriously confuses the piss out of me and every time I have tried to use breakpoints nothing happens for me. So I tend to just stick with what I know how to do and that is hex edit the piss out of stuff. Cruising through the files looking for goodies I discovered they have wasted a lot of space with constantly repeating the same dialog. There has to be a method to their madness and yes it is madness because they seem to do it in almost all the games they put out. Not so bad in the Ghargav stuff. That is pretty straight forward (and easy to edit). I really appreciate all the help everybody has been providing. Was hoping the turn this into a place where we can all finally crack that madness in case anybody else wanted to work on other games from Falcom. There are small similarities in all of them but even more differences between the generations. Like looking through Nayuta no Kiseki you see an absurd amount of references to Adol & Ys7. But a bunch of those files are a bunch of straight programming and document files (if I remember correctly - if not, it is one of their more recent games). Well back to work.




I have since reconsidered my position on a partial patch. But when it is done, I will offer very limited support on it because it could change completely before a finished product is done. However it is no where near done. I am in search of a save file with most of the books in the inventory and atleast a few of the Crossbell Times papers. Need them for formatting reasons. I could make codes to get them but that would take me a week or so and I would rather work on the game then create codes for it right now. That can come later.

 

[Deleted User]

I found this and this not sure if it helps.

 

[GHANMI]

I found this and this not sure if it helps.

Actually, anything like "unlock all x" codes or the ones generally speeding up the game (like the max HP/atk/invincibility/speed ones) help a lot... for anyone who wants to speed up the game to see text quickly.
(It's NOT a good enjoyable way to play the game though and it spoils the game, that's for sure, but at least zero has played it before in Japanese)

 

[flame1234]

Okay, worked on a dumper today. Kinda works but not well enough. I'm giving up for today; I'll work more on it tomorrow. It doesn't handle multidialogs properly, but I think it's possible for it to eventually handle them properly.

[Kelebek]

Btw, # isn't always there. Although maybe for the "real" table it is. The first tables that apparently aren't used, or used later or something, don't have that # in them. Also just saw that 0x5d is the opcode for specifying a name for dialogue text too (at 0x94C3 in c0000.bin). You'll probably get most of the dialogues from checking that byte, but it won't be all of them. Good enough for now I suppose.

 

[flame1234]

So I noticed Kelebek used pastebin when he posted his program for Brandish so I'll do the same here.
It's a working dumper. Considering I wrote it, it probably won't work all the time, but it will work some of the time. Let me know files it won't work on and I'll try debugging.

Usage this time is python script.py X####.bin X####.pre
Good luck!

Okay, so without further ado:
http://pastebin.com/kTQBEPXB

So this is what the output looks like:

NOTE: This is output is truncated, dump it yourself please, thanks.

So I guess I'll need to do the inserter now...
I need help figuring out the 0x55 opcode that this dumper likes to dump (it has text in it). Or maybe we don't have to figure it out, I don't know.

Has anyone checked that editing 5c opcodes in a hex editor will result in changed ingame text? We need to make sure that 5c opcodes can handle ASCII. EDIT: Looks like zero_g_monkey did here. Good to know. And note to self: Don't pad strings with zero bytes. Pad with spaces. The zero byte is an opcode; it makes the game hiccup.

 

[zero_g_monkey]

Nice dumper. Which version of python is it coded for 2 or 3? I know there is some differences between the two, so I want to make sure I use the one it was made for. I might be able to provide some more info on the "who is talking" OP codes for the dumper. Gonna head to bed but will see what I can do tomorrow. Thanks again.

 

[flame1234]

Sorry, Python 2.7.

 

[zero_g_monkey]

Hopefully this might be of some use. Taken from the data\face folder after images have been converted. These are the matches for the OP codes. If you want some more info as to exact codes and how many there are, just let me know. There is a special note when you get to 5400 (Tio) because some of the images are actually Zeit. I pointed out the differences. If you wanted to get real interesting, we could work on including the actually faces with the lines of dialog. I can provide the images if needed.

That's strange. Because 01 is the code for Lloyd. Dump m3000.bin and look at the program code and you'll see what I mean. So those are all offset by 1...for some reason.
Well please go ahead and update the program for me. And while you're at it change the zero on line 84 to a -1. My mistake. If you're really really not a programmer just tell me and I'll do it, but it should be easy enough to do yourself. I'm not a programmer either so don't worry.

If you want to you could prepare a face collection for the translators, so they can choose the right face (in case a different one is correct for an English audience for certain lines). I'm certain the Falcom producers had such a thing in front of them when they prepared the original dialog. But I don't think that's correct. What we really need is an inserter.

I think I could write an inserter to remap the .pre files to point to the right spots. But I'm pretty sure that alone wouldn't be enough. I think there are pointers in other opcodes that our text would disturb. Discovering these opcodes is beyond my current ability.

I'm not above learning new things. The above is my first python program that does actual, useful work, and my first python program ever was only a few days ago. I need guidance from someone more experienced on what's needed to create an inserter. I don't know how to map the opcodes like Kelebek did. How do you set a breakpoint in PPSSPP? Why would you want to do this?

 

[zero_g_monkey]

These are the basis for my codes. Gonna try and see if I can narrow down the differences between the two. Code has been edited. I'm not a programmer but I can modify code and thankfully yours includes plenty of notes. Always a good thing.

Hmm... This is gonna take some serious thought and right now I am gonna have to deal with people trashing my lawn with a 4 wheeler.

I'm not experienced either. In PPSSPP just go to Debug > Disassembly. Double click any line in the code to breakpoint it, and you can set memory breakpoints by copying an address from the memory area at the bottom, and then going into the Breakpoint menu at the top.

You'd need to do it because you can't decompile/recompile the file properly without knowing how the game reads it. Just as a random example, in m3000.bin, there's a 0x2 opcode at 0x1207. The jump location for that opcode is at 0x120d, and jumps to 0x12fc, which is a 0xb opcode just a little further down the file. If you look, that jumps over 2 different strings which are right below the opcode. So, if you edited those strings and made them longer or shorter, that one 0x2 jump location will no longer point to that 0xb, and then the game will go and crash when it gets to that piece of code. Not to mention changing either of those strings breaks the jump locations of every single jump below that in the whole file, because they use absolute positions. That's why you need to be able to recompile the file to fix all of those jumps, otherwise the file length is basically uneditable.

So that's where the disassembler was.

I have some basic questions and there's no assembler tutorial I can find on here (for PSP). Or anywhere else for that matter. So I will just ask them here and hope for the best. I did download this manual for the MIPS R4000, but I didn't get too far with that alone.
So the program starts at x08000000. How do I find out where in the UMD that is?
I am interested in m3000.bin. Where is that file stored on the UMD or how do I find the address of that file? How can I breakpoint when the program accesses that file?

What you need to do is find that file in the memory.

Open PPSSPP and load your ISO. Once it has started, pause the game and go to Debug > Memory View...

In this window, right click and choose Dump... and click ok in the popup window.

Go to the folder where PPSSPP resides and open the RAM.dump file in a hex editor.

Do a search and locate some of the text from the file that you want. Sometimes, if that text was displayed on the screen, you will find multiple instances of it. Look for where it looks the same as the actual file.

Take the offset of whatever you want to breakpoint on.

Add 0x08800000 to it.

Take this value and put your breakpoint on it.
