    Hacking "Help Wanted" for Onfy's game translations

    Dang coincidence in timing if true. Haha. Come to think, there's been very little outside testing of the patch either. I don't expect any instability, but it has been a process catching numerous mistakes that slipped in... some of them were even in the original French text.

    Hacking "Help Wanted" for Onfy's game translations

    Going to post some assorted thoughts here. I'm wondering if having one big post for everything I have in mind was the right thing to do. It's possible I failed to get the attention of someone who could help just because they never saw the initial post. Hacking PS2 games is really hard. There's...

    ROM Hack GBA Translation Kid Paddle English translation

    Surprise! Thought I'd release a patch early today. "Enjoy?" Note: This was a defaced joke version of the patch I made on top of the real one on a spur of the moment. Sorry! I want to get the real out in a number of months this year, it's very close to completion now.

    Hacking "Help Wanted" for Onfy's game translations

    Bad news everyone! I have located some of the compressed graphics in Titeuf GBA. They appear to be from 27DDC0-289ADF in the rom if you want to look. Unfortunately, the code that decompresses them seems to be running from rom or WRAM, so it might not be the BIOS LZ compression. I'm not sure what...

    Hacking "Help Wanted" for Onfy's game translations

    I would've expected it to be a "song", but none of the extracted XM files contained the voice clips, which confused me. Maybe the engine can simply play the raw sample... regardless, extending the sample relies on a few assumptions such as: Being able to find the pointers Either keeping the...

    Hacking "Help Wanted" for Onfy's game translations

    Yeah, that's the thing. Most (?) GBA games with the Logik State driver at least have a credit in the rom, but I just double checked and I don't see one. But this driver also seems poorly documented. I think I should reorganize the thread to better outline how important I think each of these...

    Hacking "Help Wanted" for Onfy's game translations

    Shoot, just my luck. Is it Logik State like Kid Paddle...? (also composed by Allister Brimble, but I'm not sure that proves it) Not that that would help, I think...

    Hacking "Help Wanted" for Onfy's game translations

    Take as long as you need. Ripping the voices would be very helpful already, as in playing and watching the few online videos of the game I've only spotted two voice clips (Tootuff saying "Méga bien joué!" when you win and "Oh la honte!" when you lose), but it's possible I missed some. Let's keep...

    Hacking "Help Wanted" for Onfy's game translations

    Thank you, I'd be delighted for your help! Now I don't want to be a downer here, but caveat emptor... I haven't written a proper tool yet for manipulating the game text (only a basic one for en/decoding the text), nor have I properly started translating the text or found the (larger amount of)...

    Translation [GBC] Bob et Bobette: Les Dompteurs du Temps - English Translation Project

    Sounds like you're where I was over 10 years ago, when I first attempted to translate Kid Paddle. My knowledge of French was weaker, I didn't know how to program, or about memory accesses, or even string termination... I've learned a lot, and there's still a lot to learn... French isn't my...

    Hacking "Help Wanted" for Onfy's game translations

    I thought I'd post this thread as an aggregate for all the game translations I've thought about doing (with some amount of seriousness) but have hit a block somewhere. It's probably better if I collaborate with others who know more than me, so maybe if I'm lucky someone will want to help. I...

    ROM Hack GBA Translation Kid Paddle English translation

    I found that game when I was looking at what games (language == fr || es || de && != en) ...I don't remember what my conclusion was when I decided not to look more closely, if I thought it wasn't interesting enough to me, or if the text location wasn't obvious or what, but I'm interested in...

    ROM Hack GBA Translation Kid Paddle English translation

    I think the translation is now nearing completion, though I'd like it if someone could review the translation, in case there's any more mistakes I never caught... aside from that, testing. Thank you to everyone who's waited patiently! A delayed translation is eventually good etc... On other...

    ROM Hack GBA Translation Kid Paddle English translation

    Hi. Sorry for going so long without any updates. Truth is, the translation hasn't really been worked on for the past year due to life circumstances. But work on it is slowly being resumed now. I feel bad for announcing it and leaving it hanging for so long, I think I'll only announce things...
