OK, I have a complete text dump of SCP.BIN from Elminage 2 and I personally spaced every single sentence together as well as one man can. I used a macro to eliminate the majority of the hexadecimal garbage symbols (I'm using Notepad++ because it has integrated SHIFT-JIS for this)-- It's as put together as can be expected. Any translator worth his salt could easily translate this document now. And yes, I know, it is unbelievably huge. No one's gonna do it. Whatever, who cares.
(I've been using the Elminage: Original ISO to know where to find things, obviously)
The second thing I have to report is that I did something similar with the ETC.BIN and did some _very quick and dirty_ "marks" inside WindHex32 to denote where things such as the Mage/Cleric/Alchemist spells begin, where the section on class changes begins, etc. I think those two .BIN's are probably the most important ones to translate to have a playable game in English, and one of the two .BINs can be machine-translated. So we have good news there.
Now for the life of I can't find ANYWHERE, either inside the Elminage 1 ISO or the 2nd game's ISO where the battle commands are! It's insane! But it's true; I've done a relative search on every singe .BIN that's inside the Elminage: Original ISO using every single one of the fight commands, you know: fight, defend, escape, etc. I have turned up nothing! It's insane! I wanted to find that first after I was finished arranging the game script from SCP.BIN and quickly go over to the Elminage 2 files and do a quick battle menu translation; but like I said I just can't find those commands.
The only places I haven't been able to access are the DATA.BIN(s) from either game as they're all completely zero'd out inside WindHex32 even though they are very huge files.
Aside from further arranging the script dump from SCP.BIN (hey, it's not perfect) a little better, and getting started on translating everything inside ETC.BIN which is where the majority of the game's non-dialog content is contained I don't know what else I should do.
