Hi there everyone! Sorry the lack of responses lately, I've been kind of busy to even reply a message here (uinversity, exams and such). Also I got involved in another translation project that is going smoothly so far(I'm going to make a thread about it soon).

If you need someone to help you in creating a patch that can be applied to the game, I'd suggest creating a new topic that is less cluttered than this five year old one of the project starting and stopping under different people multiple times. As it stands, nobody looking at this topic will immediately know what's needed without coming to the last page, or that the translation is complete with just the ROM hacking side of things needing to be ironed out.I'm sure if you create a topic, someone will be able to help you. It would be a shame if this project were left to die in a five year old thread because nobody who had the skills ever knew what was necessary.
I was really thinking about that, using the same project's page and the same one for the translation might have been a reason this project got stale, I'll make a more recent, updated thread at once, just to show that there has been progress (also the gba scene was kinda slow here, so I thought it would be kinda pointless).
Hey Pablitox o/
I've been following the projet by the shadows for some time now. And I decided to step up and see what I can do about the insertion some time ago. You see I'm not a hacker, but a programmer. Anyways I managed to make a tool that handles script opcode pointers. I'm using a hybrid of Ritchburn tool and my own codes (I'm using his tools to patch the double character to the rom). I'm afraid that the current script will need some manual editing (sorry...) but I might be able to make a dump saying which person is saying what, and I'm able to make manual management of the script to fix little things that might come up when inserting longet text than the default (not talking about the pointer, as said before they are sorted aswell). The thing is I'm in the middle of my exams so I'm not working as heavily as I was in the begining of the year so until the exams end I'll be able to make the tool to dump the text script.
But be sure! I really want to see this game translated!
Sorry for the phantom message out of nowhere. I didn't want to give false hope as I was not sure if I would be able to make the tools needed.
Any kind of help is welcome here! And it's also kind of unexpected, lol, but it's still awesome. If I understood correctly you made some tools that:
1)Dump the script + opcode managing, showing which person is saying that line, which will be AWESOME for proofreading and TLC. (this is what I actually wanted lol)
2)Also insert the translated script into the rom, If I am not mistaken it can insert lines longer than the original size of that line? please correct me in that regard.
Anyway, your help will be gladly appreciated and if you could manage the script with those tools to insert the script, it would be really awesome.
you can contact me at my email account, I already added you so you can pm me too. It would be awesome if you can help us!
I'll make an updated thread later, so you all can post there.
