Hacking Digimon World Re:Digitize - Translation

[Classicassassin]

Yeah i suggested using txt talk to short the amount of text used, But everyone seems to agree it would look horrible

 

[Malubaby]

I too would be more than happy to rephrase certain things. I could also help by shortening somethings to keep the original meaning so that might help the some of the text limitation issues. I'm masters student doing English so my English is fluent.

 

[Romsstar]

Easy guys, too many editors won't be a good thing.
Moreover, unless we solve our textissue there won't be a point in editing it anyways.

When the time arrives for that I'll let you know.

 

[Mirby]

That's why I said once you fix the issue.

 

[Elegant]

Has there been any games for the PSP where this issue was overcome? I've seen numerous games where this came up and was never resolved (IE left incomplete, not that I'm suggesting that here )

I have no idea, since the PSP scene is quite new, and I'm also new to it. But I'd assume that'd be the first place Romsstar would look into, so... I'm guessing no..?

not really, some projects have compensated by using abbreviations and shorthand.but that's still not enough sometimes. not to mention it ruins the the translation. the manner of speech, tone, and dialect are all lost this way.

The way our editor works abbrevations won't help.
Currently I can't insert text without losing SENSE, not to speak of tone and dialect.

But at no point this project will be abandoned. It is just taking way more time than expected, but we all know that the PSP is in romhacking terms a considerably new system, it took years till hacks in SNES and GBC reached the stage they are in now.

So, I guess patience is what we need. Eventually it wil be solved or localized. Whatever comes first. And well, in the end either solution would serve the fans, so, um I guess, just wait?XD

Been awhile since I last checked this place, so I'm sorry if what I'm about to say was already suggested or proven to be ineffective, but if possible, why not post the block/line of text that you're trying to add right here in the forum? Post it with its current character length, and then have the character limit that you're trying to achieve so we can see it. That way we can all help you come up with shorter ways to say the same thing if we can. Multiple heads are better than one afterall. We might be able to come up with fancy words or synonyms or even short phrases that imply a similar message, and you can just choose the best reply that fits the dialogue and resolve the issue.

GBC? As in, Gameboy Color?

Wow didn't even realise the folder i created for the patched iso has been there since feb long time i cant wait till you figure out this problem....also this is to the dev team for inserting a text limit

because im not supporting your products by downloading a patch instead of buying the 3ds version XD

 

[Iscu16]

[double the dosage]

[Iscu16]

Guys i talked with Sir Omarrrio and he told me that maybe you need to "disable the boot Size check like in tag force 6."
I hope this can help u....and he told me that he would love to help u on this project but u are too proud (not all )...

It is probably the Digimon World for the 3DS... No news there...

Wouldn` t shortening the text at least make the iso playable or has this project reached a dead end?

I asked something similar before, and Romsstar said that it isn't IMPOSSIBLE to find a solution (to insert all the necessary text) and it's a matter of time. Maybe we won't get this full patch this year or the next one, but when PSP games hacking become as common as SNES or GENESIS or NES games hacking, then all the tools needed for this will be available.

 

[Classicassassin]

but in 2 years time i doubt anyone would still be waiting for this patch with the 3ds version on the horizon, The game isn`t actually that difficult to translate and input files i`ve played the game in eglish a while back before i gave up translating it.

 

[movileanu12x]

why not erase useless information in the game, then will be more space.

edit 1: or at description to read directly what is doing the item and at the condition for digivolve

3 years? yeah......nope sorry but most games don't even take that long (after being announced) seriously in 3 years i would forget this thread even existed if you said one year then i would be fine with that
