Hey Adan and Kuroiri or anybody interested in contributing (or just being informed) a bit, friend and I decided it's a best idea to organize this project using Discord channel, so if any of you are interested in helping, you can join it with this link
https://discord.gg/faS7nBB . It's asynchronous, so time zones or being online really doesn't matter that much, but we can freely share files and stuff. Thank you!

~Spice and Wolf: My One Year with Holo~

English Translation Project

Current Status: Translating Script Files
Hacker: jjjewel
Gfx Editing (Buttons): rastsan
Translators: Remilia, Masa
Editing, Other Graphic Insertion: Suruz

So basically, me and my two translators would be keen to start working on the first 'Spice and Wolf' DS game. It's a Visual Novel/Business Simulator based on the Anime and looks like a lot of fun for fans of the series.

Thanks to jjewel, who created a text extraction/insertion tool for most of the game text, we started translating the game's scripts a while ago now. We're all pretty busy, but progress is still slowly being made, and hopefully this will continue :)

Note: We WON'T be releasing a Menu/partial patch this time, as this is a Visual-Novel style game, and just isn't very playable without the story being translated.

[title:Old Thread Contents:]
I did a search, and I think someone had successfully extracted the text from the game.
This thread in particular:
http://gbatemp.net/index.php?showtopic=111...0&p=1490266

UPDATE: So basically, jjjewel is currently helping out with extracting the script from the game. We've got the first script file translated... But apparently it's much harder to insert the text back into the game, due to it being stored differently from usual.

So as always, if you have any skills in this area (Script insertion), extra help would be MUCH appreciated... I think jjjewel went into more detail about the problem later in this thread, so check that for more info.

Hopefully it will be possible to create an inserter, and then once that's sorted out we'll continue with the translation ;]

Thanks to my awesome translators Remilia and Masa + rastan for inserting some images + jewel for working on the Text Insertion
this is so cool!!!!

Ops. Sorry for being off quite a while. I returned to my home country for vacation and has been out of internet for a while. Though, I have to admit that I am busy doing the finishing touch on the other project I am in. Once I'm done with the promised task, I will be back again in 1-2 weeks time.

I want to help with the translation!
so I need to know what is left to translate and where to upload it.
I don't know if you're interested, but this season there's a new anime airing,
called "Grimoire of Zero", that has a similar feel to "Spice and Wolf"!^_^
Give it a try!;)

    Ps5 emulation? Why
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I always thought Saturn emulation would straight up be impossible
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Just the atchiture is insanely complex
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    That's why it annoys me when people rant about things being impossible when it comes to software some things should just be focused on more than others
  • ColdBlitz @ ColdBlitz:
    because they want to flex their insane developer skills ofc
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    We have ps5 exploits where's an article talking about ps5 emulation?

    heres ps4/5
    emulation (it is far from playing actual games yet but its something) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7qe71pCjC9U
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I thought PS4/5 and Xbox One emulation would be kind of easy since they basically just a PC
  • ColdBlitz @ ColdBlitz:
    they sorta are a pc
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    They haslve dedicated on board chips that aren't tweaked like x64/x32 afaik
  • ColdBlitz @ ColdBlitz:
    but its a custom os for both of them
  • ColdBlitz @ ColdBlitz:
    designed for only specific hardware
  • ColdBlitz @ ColdBlitz:
    so you have to learn to emulate that specific hardware which isn't as easy as you'd think
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    It's a locked down Linux distro basically
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think the only custom hardware is to do with the SSD and a security chip
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Probably combined in one chip
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    They place married security chips onto boards iirc
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Damn Frontier is offering 5Gbps now lol

    I honestly can't recommend any of the big 3 this years I'd say buy a rog ally z1 if we're being honest
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Honestly after the PS3 and 360 I just went full PC
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Every games basically cross platform they only have about 6 titles making it worth the $600 price tag
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Didn't see much need for a console, all the advantages have kind of disappeared
  • ColdBlitz @ ColdBlitz:
    the ps3 used to support installing linux because the cpu was so powerful
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Then the games are $70 and they want to reboot and refresh the same game every year
