Hacking [PSP] La Pucelle Ragnarok Translation

[JamRules]

? You are checking for where the ram at a0 is changed, not for where a0 is changed right.
Anyway since its setting 0 you might not notice

 

[ChepChep]

Yes I am but I still am having a hard time finding anything writing to 0X08A3FF00.

 

[ChepChep]

I think I may have found it:

Spoiler

So do I just need to write 0x0601 to this location (0x08A3FF00) to get the language to English? Obviously I need to change ASM to do it...

-ChepChep

 

[JamRules]

Its difficult to understand the screenshot (would be useful to see the register values at that moment) but 0880AEBC sw zero,0x4(s0) seems more likely.
Check if s0=08A3FF04 (remember for save you need to change the value at a0+4)
Arguments are "words" each, so 0x0600 should be left

 

[ChepChep]

Ok... good news I got it all working...

So at 0880AEBC sw zero, 0x4(s0) was setting the language for Japanese.

This instruction can be found in the eboot.bin at:
0x6F7C

at this location the hex for the sw zero, 0x4(s0) instruction is:
0x040000AE

I was very fortunate that register s5 had 0x01 in it when this instruction was called so I changed the instruction to:

0x040015AE and save/load was in english and worked on the PSP-3000 hardware.

Japanese:
sw zero, 0x4(s0) Hex: 0x040000AE

English:
sw s5, 0x4(s0) Hex: 040015AE


So in short change:
Memory: 0x6F7C - 0x040000AE to 040015AE

I will include this in the next patch for PKP.

Thanks everyone for your help on figuring this out.

[JamRules]

Glad you got it working

 

[ChepChep]

Thanks again for all your help and putting up with my questions. I feel like I have learned significantly more about PSP MIPS ASM by working this out myself.

 

[Cyan]

I see you didn't have the extra instruction (writing the address each time before writing to register) like on LPR, but you had the chance to find a register with the correct value

 

[ChepChep]

I have done quite a bit of ASM in my past. I have never worked with ASM for the PSP before or "reverse" engineered it in this way. I have always used tools for writing your own and then running it. I have learned a few tricks when I used to write ASM.

I probably will put out another patch today for LPR if I can find the time since I have many things all lines up for it.

-ChepChep

 

[ChepChep]

So I created a new patch for LPR:

It has many bug, typo and grammar fixes as well as the home screen and save/load fix for English.
If you have any trouble with it please let me know.

Awesome! Thanks Chep.

[ChepChep]

Shinon,

You do know you are not posting any images that we can see?

 

[Shinon]

Shinon,

You do know you are not posting any images that we can see?

I know
How to post pictures and how to take screenshots of the game? I'am new to treads

 

[ChepChep]

CLick the insert image button and type in location that you are hosting the img on.

I personally use tinypic but feel free to use your favorite.

 

[Shinon]

So I created a new patch for LPR:

It has many bug, typo and grammar fixes as well as the home screen and save/load fix for English.
If you have any trouble with it please let me know.

I have no plans to translate the images, fix the random item / name generator or use variable width font.If you ask me to fix them, I will ignore you. If you are interested in fixing it yourself, I am more than willing to include your fixes in the patch.
-ChepChep

The save/load menu is still in Japanese? check it and could you translate the graphics?

 

[Cyan]

Thanks for the new patch.
I won't be able to test it as much as I did, unless I re-play it.
Maybe I will, but I'll probably play Disgaea1 next. It's a series I have in my backlogs.


ChepChep said he will translate the content of the save menu too. (probably in the next patch).
my hack has only put the system text in english (Save/back/enter/exit without saving/etc.), not the game's text (Level, chapter, chapter's name, time cleared, play time, etc.)

I see you cleared it two times already!
I completed the main story, but it's still at 0 (I probably need to complete the bonus now to get the cleared number set to 1).

 

[ChepChep]

I have actually completed the game 6 times... 2 on PPSSPP and 4 on the PSP. I was not very efficient in my playthroughs of LPR

I hope you enjoy Disgaea 1, Cyan. If you didn't plan on it, I definitely recommend the PSP version of the game! Best version of it you can find. (2, as well. Always go with the portable ports if you can for Disgaea games.)

 

[ChepChep]

I really enjoyed Disgaea 1. I have played the PS2, DS and PSP version and I would also recommend the PSP version.

I am still trying to find the other text in the save / load screen. I am having a difficult time. It does not look like its in the eboot and I have translated just about every other file in the game. I guess I will need to do some ramDumps in the PPSSPP to track it down.
