Hi folks. This is the third (and hopefully the last;)) translation project for this DS game. Since mid-October, I've learned a lot and have already translated some things and created some graphics. There's still quite a bit of work to do, but this time I'd like to finally release the game as an English patch. Stay tuned!B-)

Unfortunately, I can't say yet when a release can be expected, but I'm working on the game. This year seems somewhat unrealistic, but I could deliver a patch sometime next year.

The texts for the GNN (mail system ingame) have now been extracted more accurately and clearly. However, the characters in the message box need to be closer together, and more characters per line are required. It's similar to the problem at the beginning, which is why things didn't progress for a long time.

I need the Japanese save file from the first game with all Bullets, so that I can transfer the Bullet names

My bad, what I can do is try to use a Japanese draglade and use a cheat to 100% it. Now I don't know if that will work, but I will post it if it does go well.

Next update: All story files are now translated. So I can play and test the main story. But I've already completed one of the many large parts of the translation. I've also figured out how the GNN letters are positioned closer together. This opens the door for me to translate those texts as well.

Sorry for the no responds. I have been looking for a save data file for the Japanese one but no dice. I even tried to look up/ make a cheat code where it can give me all of the bullets. That was a no go as well. I think I might have to play the Japan one to get them. Also, I tried converting save files that works on certain roms.

Using a cheat code, I got almost all the Bullets in the Japanese game. I've already transferred half of them. Some aren't in Draglade 2 at all, or their names have changed. I'll have to look into that.

What cheat code did you use? Also, what program are you using to translate the game?

I tried a lot of cheat codes and one have worked. Can't really tell which one it was. I have my own program in Visual Studio didn't know visual studio help with translation and here i am using old translator from early 2000s

A new year has begun, and I wanted to share the first patch with you. In the initial post, I've added a new tab where you can play the entire tutorial mode. Depending on your play style, this will give you between 30 and 60 minutes of gameplay. It's a little preview to help you prepare for the game:)It's not quite final yet; I'm still working on it. If you encounter any bugs, please let me know. Have fun!

Wow. This took longer than I thought. I'm finally done with the NPCs. These files were more complex than the normal story files. Here's a little insight into the files.

The first 2 bytes of each script_data file indicate the number of pointers. In this example there are 5. Then the 5 pointers come as 2 bytes as marked in color here. At the G-Center, Bullet Shops, Score Shops and an NPC in the laboratory there are additional pointers in front of a few text blocks. I had to find this out first. Well now it's done and I have completed a big task.
