What is the ETA on the project right now?

Well... Very much unknown. I'm really sorry guys, but work has come to a sort of stand still, as I don't have much time on my hands at all. I'm swarmed with university work, especially as it is my last semester, so I need to lock in hard, and can't really focus much on translation. I promise that I am working on it whenever I can, but just know that neither me, nor my translator have much time on our hands to work on this, and for that we sincerely apologise. I had hoped that it could be done within the next month, as most of what is left is just replacing text, but even that has proven to be more daunting than we expected. Again I'm really really sorry. But if there is any silver lining in all of this, it's that you can be sure that the project WILL be complete. I will not be abandoning it, as I already know WHAT I need to do. Just need the time to do it. So yeah. I know I already said it twice, but again, really really REALLY sorry.

It's okay, I understand the stress. Just keep working hard!

@deathkill781 no worries at all, we are just very excited haha. For real, please don't feel pressured. Good luck with university, you'll crush your exams

 

[ReticentY2K]

Don't be sorry, man, I'm grateful for this being done at all! It's one of the few Dragon Ball games I've been wanting to have translated since I was a teen lol

 

[Xdqwerty]

I'm waiting for @Angelus to reply to me so we can properly start the spanish translation

I guess it's now on hiatus :/

 

[glockwizard]

@deathkill781 hope your university's end of semester went well. Just sending a bit of support Good day!

@deathkill781 How to play on Drastic?
Please

@deathkill781 How to play on Drastic?
Please

Just apply the patch to the rom and put the rom on your phone. You load it up like any other game. To apply the patch use any rom patcher you can find online, but I recommend using Rom Patcher Js by marcrobledo. Hope that helps!

Oooor i'm gonna do it alone again

What is missing for this translation patch to be complete/100%?

What is missing for this translation patch to be complete/100%?

Well, mainly the text from the cutscenes is unfinished. The tool to edit it and everything is already there, I just need to change it, but I'm not really finding the time for that, and neither is the translator. I've been trying my hand a bit to try and reference the manga instead of relying too much on him (as he is also busy with a masters and minor degrees), so neither of us is finding much time to work on it. There is also the matter of the title screen, in which there is the game's logo, which I am yet to figure out, as it doesn't use just a standard picture, it uses a 3D model, down to the licensing text at the bottom. So I need to figure out how these 3D model files work (which are the .dse files inside the archiveDBK.dsa file). If anyone would like to take a crack and translating themselves, they are more than free to. The tool is up on github and opensource, so anyone can view it the way they like. Here is the link: https://github.com/OmarAlTaki1/NDSTextEditor
All you have to do is select the sp-jpn.sbt file in the app, and edit it to your leisure. If anyone does actually try and take up the mantle, I would highly appreciate them contacting me and just informing me either privately or right here on the thread. Either way, I'd love to know. I would love to sincerely apologize again for the long delay, but I genuinely can't find the time right now to work on it. However, I would like all of you to keep up the hope, as I said before, this project will never be abandoned, as there is nothing stopping from just finishing it other than time. Also something that I would really love to see is some coverage of this on youtube or something, so if anyone knows about someone that has used this patch on youtube recently, I'd love to know and see the video! And that's it from me for now folks! See you all again soon (hopefully)

So all that's left is to finish the title screen logo and the story?
Because if that's all, this patch is 100% playable for me since I skip all the cutscenes
I hope you can finish this project

Oh! You're planning on recording off of original hardware! That's actually pretty epic! You don't see a lot of people doing that anymore! Looking forward to it honestly!
