The "Magic news" are not inside the ROM file.Hi! Old thread, but I was wondering if anyone has the file(s) for the Daily Gazettes? Or a path to it using Tinke? I know that it's not translated in English, but I'd like to look at them in Japanese and I can't find them going through the rom...
If I remember correctly it was 7 pieces of news you could download from the old Nintendo Online servers. Each day you could download from the game a file containing one new piece, replacing the last one. Then the content was saved in the save file (max 5 or 7 news). It lasted for one year.
So unless someone was dumping this file manually or automatically each day it's not possible to get anymore.
Fortunately that was the case. For the Spanish translation we were able to find this website where someone wrote all the news: http://game-kouryaku.info/ninokuni/tuusin
Back in the day I wrote a Python script with scrapy to download the content from there so we could translate it: https://github.com/pleonex/Ninokuni/tree/master/Programs/scripts/magicnews
Then with the help of Nagato we wrote a python script to replicate this feature when we released the Spanish translation.
