Tingle's Balloon Trip of Love - English Fan Translation Released

12 years ago, on the Nintendo DS, a strange game featuring everybody's favourite fairy released:

​
I remember playing Tingle's Rosy Rupeeland at the time of it's launch and found it to be a pretty fun game with unique features, such as the possibilty of going bankrupt!


Skip ahead to 2009, and Tingle got a second release, also on the DS.
Titled; Irozuki Tincle no Koi no Balloon Trip, Tingle's Balloon Trip of Love:

The game never saw a Western release, and as such I never got to play it.

Roll on 2018 and fans of Irozuki Tincle no Koi no Balloon Trip have released their last 5 years of hard work as Tingle's Balloon Trip of Love v1.0 English translation patch:

Well, I was planning on writing a long post thanking everyone and reminiscing about the last 5 years that I worked on this project. Long story short: bad stuff happened during testing, and I've been busy fixing it over the last few days.
You guys probably just want to get to the good part anyways, right?
So without further ado, we're proud to announce the first release of the Ripened Tingle's Balloon Trip of Love English translation patch!

XDELTA-file is Patch file. you have to apply it to original NDS file to modify it.
So, you have to have: NDS file Irozuki Tincle no Koi no Balloon Trip.
this Xdelta file.
Patcher tool (or use online Patcher - e.g. on Romhacking? I didn't try it on NDS files...).

I think I get it, do you have any links to these tools?

Nope. Dunno how's it with external links here..
Anyway go to website Romhacking and check Online ROM Patcher tool in left menu on main page. It's easy.

I clicked on that. I understand the file I need to add first in the ROM-file, but they also want a patch file down below? I have no idea what to add there.

So, enjoy it.
It (I looked only on first game) seems like nice one, but quite complicated and long for my taste. But I'm not patient at all, so, this is just my own problem ;)

    as to you

    How do you know if the night will be good when you're asleep

    because i didn't say i was asleep

    i said i was sleeping...
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    sleeping with uremum
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Even my mum slept on that uremum
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
