ROM Hack Tokimeki Memorial Girl's Side 2nd Season Translation

[jjjewel]

Some technical issue about GS2's Arm9.bin under spoiler tag.
It's mainly a note for PhoenixGoddess, Inori, and the hackers.
You girls can ignore it.

But I guess some people had discussed
about translating this game to other languages, so this info might be useful too.

Arm 9 issues
------------
(From the patch PhoenixGoddess sent me.
It didn't work on anything I could use to test (my emu/my flashcart)
so I just opened it in CT2 and found these issues.)

---Arm 9 issue 1
Your arm9 size is different from the original. I guess the one in the patched file
is not compressed. But the size is still different from the decompressed Arm9.bin
in the original rom. Not sure if that's the problem or not. But usually I wouldn't
want to resize it unless it is very necessary. Anyway, if other hackers
suggested this, it might be fine. (I see some English translation at the end of
Arm9 which I guess some of the hackers might suggest that. But I kind of
wonder if that's the cause of the problem.)


---Arm 9 issue 2
Text at Hex 0012FD04 wouldn't come out properly. Take a look and compare it with
the Japanese text in the original Arm9.bin. If the Japanese one doesn't have 00,
you shouldn't add 00 or the text will get cut off there. 0A is the new line.
So for your text below;

System save data is broken
Touch screen to
initialize system save data

You shouldn't use 00 at the end of the first line. Use 20 instead if you
want a blank space. (00 will tell the program to stop reading the text, so
instead of showing all these lines on the screen, you will only see the first line.)

Same issue at Hex address 00130030

Hehe, I'm pretty glad that soon we're going to have more otome games in English to play.

The problems I listed above are pretty much common in GS1 and GS2.
Anyway, the main problem for GS2's Arm9 that I couldn't solve is the compression though.

Now, a bit more info on @ sign thing. (Okay, I know I've repeated this for so many times,
but I can bet that most of the problems with weird scripts you find in beta testing
will come from this @ sign.

)

In J scripts where you call a guy and ask for a date, I see some @O where it is supposed to be @0.
(It has to be number zero, not alphabet O.) That's one source of the problem.
(@0 will result in month-date, @O will be a name variable.)

(Another case is in the other parts of the scripts, not in script/script folder. I already PM phoenixgoddess
about that but any parts that use @@ as a new line break, you must always be careful and leave one
space before each line. Otherwise, it will get converted to some name variable.)

Ganbatte~

 

[Inori]

jjjewel, you don`t know how much I love you right now.

I went over the J scripts, you were indeed right about my mistake. I`m fixing them now I speak/type

 

[Phoenix Goddess]

To make up for this delay, I'll fix a few errors mentioned by hakusa, jjjewel and things I noticed myself, as well as an extra folder.

My apologies, once I find out how to decompress the original arm9(Someone else did it for me the first time), I'll edit this post.

 

[ioukta]

meeh don't worry about it, that's what first projects are for, find what works right away and what doesn't lol

anyway good luck on all that and thank you Jjewel for your help, and the team for the extra work u're putting in

 

[Jei]

So it's everything because of the text control tags...

If you need help to fix anything, count on me

I think I have a few ideas for you, text files need to be re-inserted later.

The awesome FAST6191 told me how to decompress and recompress the arm9 with CT2 and I decompressed it, text appeared perfectly, I'll redo it later, this is very good news

 

[ioukta]

aaaah yey great,

im here too for the inserting of files no problemo

did u try it on ur acekard?

Haku is now trained by me - I think she'll do great correcting the spacing on the files

 

[TheSuperSakura]

After watching the opening scene for Tokimeki 2 I am so pumped to play it! Hopefully it'll come out before Christmas, that'd be so cool. Then onward to the third one! -giggles-

 

[hakusa]

Haha, yes, Jei trained me well. XD Thank you~

And jjjewel-san, we really appreciate you helping out gokusaishiki.

Our dear translators were frustrated and we couldn't help out in anyway, so we really thank you for helping out and putting in the effort to type that long message. >_<

Good to hear that, P! ;D

No, I'm not trying anything out until the CG issue gets fixed (We translated them, but they inserted as being untranslated, Jewel's checking out the issue

)

Haku is now trained by me - I think she'll do great correcting the spacing on the files

Ah, haha, yes, I gave her the file, my CT2 and a tutorial on how to space the fashion items since there were so many to do.
You two are a big help!

I hope we will, I translated six of the Q files(The Field trip folder) this morning before I went to bed, so I'm sure it won't be that long.
The G folder (Girl Rivalries) is also done (FE and I tackled it)

Ah, you just worry too much is all -_-
(Inori too >_> )

Thank you for all of your help jewel, this translation wouldn't be here if it wasn't for you and the fans of the game

I didn't do 1st Love Plus, jjjewel did

I'm doing the 2nd and 3rd one; 2nd Season and 3rd Story.

 

[ioukta]

u go team !! go team go team !!! wooooo

thank you for everything !!

 

[Phoenix Goddess]

thank you for everything !!

I think this error with the patch is actually a good thing now.
I've translated seven graphics that I didn't find before, I've fixed the errors with the tutorials/support/saves/spaced files and there are quite a number of folders done that were supposed to go into the 2nd patch instead of the first. However, do you all want those folders in this patch or the next?

 

[ioukta]

hmm since u're asking i'll say this patch

how i see it it'll be easier to see stuff out of place with the more environment translated, whereas if we get used to seeing jap here and there more we might spot less stuff, that's how i see it

but that's only if it's not more work for you to insert it now as opposed to later

so that's my voe thank you for asking

and way to go on spotting stuff, see i told you that's what first projects are for, your own trial and error cannot compare to other people's tales of trial and error lol and that's always good !

Hey there phoenixgoddess27, I actually went onto your blog yesterday to check out your more projects to come and I gotta say I'm very excited for all the games you've listed. I'm sure it'll take you awhile to get to TMGS3 considering the Fushigi Yugi DS game and Wil O' Wisp is ahead but I'm sure you'll have more people on your team and you'll be able to get the translating done faster. I would love to be a beta tester for the next three projects. All three games are ones I've been dying to play.

Again I, like many others, appreciate you guys' hard work in translating this and we will all continue to support you!

Nah, TMGS3 is coming first since so many people requested it over FY and WoW, but those two are after it.
Thanks for your support, it really means a lot

Working on the arm9 now.
