ROM Hack [NEED HELP]Hyrule Warriors - English patch

[xXDungeon_CrawlerXx]

Hey Guys,

I checked the files of Hyrule Warriors Legends (JAP, Full Game) and I found the file "LINKDATA.BIN" which contains all game related files (excluding moflex and bcsar).
I've checked the LINKDATA.bin with a HexEditor and it seems that the Game already contains all translated Files

I thought about extract this file, modify the language-related files and rebuild the file.
Someone who could help me with this?

Maybe there are two text files (one for english text and an other for the japanese) and some command that directs to the japanese one (maybe again)

probably, probably not.
The Game contains german and french language, too.
But I'm unable to use them atm. :/

Has the game rom been uploaded on the other site yet?

Okay so try two things.
First run the game through HANS and force a language see what that does and report back.
After that, If you wanna take a picture of the Folder ill let you know what i can tell you about the files.
Once i have my hands on the game ill dig deeper. But not much i can do now.
If everything is stored in a .bin even all assets and text that can make things more difficult. Unless we can extract and rebuild the .bin. Which i should be able to determine after i looked into.
Been mad busy though here.

Will try to run it with HANS after I've reinstalled my regionfree+firmwarespoof patched version.
the LINKDATA.bin seems to be similar to different LINKDATA.bin's in other Samurai Warrior Games.
As soon as we're able to extract and rebuild this file, we can translate it easily and/or edit other things.

use this to unpack the LINKDATA.bin

quickBMS unpacker only for now.

open FDDE "idx"
open FDDE "bin" 1
get FILES asize
math FILES / 8
for i = 0 < FILES
get SIZE Long
get OFFSET long
if SIZE != 0
log "" OFFSET SIZE 1
endif
next i

Defiantly try in HANS as it can force language that are not normally a option.
For translation there will be little demand for it as there is already a official English version coming out. So im sure most translators will put there work into something else. BUT if there english files are actually included in the game then it should be a simple swap of text assests and rebuild.

Im willing to assist in this project for the time being, Until something more pressing comes up.
Working now but once i have the folder we can try

 

[xXDungeon_CrawlerXx]

uhmm... no need for that anymore... Patched the game to regionfree + Firmwarespoof...
playing it on my European N3DS (9.0.0-29E)

It only has to be Regionfree to play in German?

 

[YuviApp]

Okay nice, so we were right using Hans to spoof language made it work

Case closed,

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

Also remember if you have a New 3DS, using HAN will lower the graphics to O3DS.
since this game takes advantage of N3ds i recommend that.

 

[Lycan911]

So it's THAT easy? Just use HANS and boom, English game? Damn, then why the two month delay for the EU and NA release? lol

 

[Asia81]

French language too?
I WANT THE GAME!
xD

Someone is currently uploading the game to that iso site :3

 

[YuviApp]

Yeah this happens a lot actually.
Delays game for no reason but already has all languages.

 

[xXDungeon_CrawlerXx]

Yep, it was really THAT easy.
I just decrypted the game, modified the ExHeader + icon.bin for FirmwareSpoof and Regionunlock , rebuild it as CIA and installed it on my european 3DS.
Just started it directly from Home Menu, haha

 

[foreveryang]

wow :0

 

[Asia81]

I don't understand why Nintendo translate all games incomming, and don't release them before 2 or 3 months in their respectives countries... Take Pokémon SMD. The game is for February 2016 in France, and already released since ~3 months with french language inside... And Hyrule Warrios Legends. The game is for March 2016, and it have already the french language...
I don't care because I can dowload it, but fuck...

Yeah i guess that would make sense. It should go based off you OS lang.

 

[Traiver]

I'm on that patch too. Found that files and my new cia is ready for regionfree and multi language.
