Well "ecto ", you and I have a lot in common, I bought ikenie just like you
I tried to see whether I could use the work that was done before on that game, but so far I couldn't find the text which must be compressed in some way... you see I got lucky with earth seeker, as the japanese text was actually in plain sight, so what was left to do was translation...
But I'm gonna try a little more when I get my computer back, although, first thing first, my priority remains to finalize my earth seeker patch (I'm almost at the end of the game, so expect a new patch when my computer is repaired).
Thank you for your kind words, do not hesitate to ask for help of you meet any difficulty with the patch !
Thanks for your reply! I'm patiently waiting, because that's all I can do now (an generally a good advise when it comes to hacking).
I have some Ikenie patch files for riivolution as well as the english script. All that was taken from different internet sources, so you probably have them, too. Sadly I'm not very knowledgeable when it comes to hacking / programming, but since no one else seem to dive into Ikenie, I thought "why not try". So I finally bought the game and when it arrives, I'll do my worst
