About: Based in the Mobile Suit Gundam universe, Kidou Senshi Gundam: Senjo no Kizuna Portable is a compact version of the arcade battle game.

Note: This will only work with ppsspp. This is just a texture replacement

Hello everyone! I have decided to make a translation of Gundam kizuna after getting tired of googling lensing all the menus. This translation is mostly anything that i could pull out of using the texture extraction on the ppsspp. So the patch is pretty much a texture replacement There is still much to translate and lots of stuff that requires more hacking, but i am satisfied with what i have translated and made the game very playable in English. I probably wont continue working on this and wanted to share this for the people that wanted to play this game. The patch also seems to work with the ppsspp socom servers too.

Install instructions:

1. Extract to your memstick folder in your PPSSPP directory.

2. In PPSSPP, click Game settings → More settings... → Tools → Developer tools, then check Replace textures. Do not check Save new textures!
(Optional) You may assign a button to "Texture replacement" in the control settings to turn the texture replacement on and off at a press of a button.

this patch works only on emulator?

Correct. It only works with ppssps texture replacement system it has. Not sure if physical has something similar.

The original thread trying to edit the game went dead around 2024. Texture replacement was the only way I found to translate the game since I'm not a programmer or hacker.

The file format (REGFILE.RZP/RFB) seems to be related to lord of arcana's file structure (also uses REGFILE.RZP/RZL). might as well check the script in quickbms website @UnknownAssassin
Yep. Some one already did that in the original topic

They couldn't really do anything with the files and later got some people to assist them but then dissipeared.

Slight update. After poking at the extracted files i have figured out what a few files do.

First i unpacked the game using UMDgen and grabbed both RFB and RZP files in updata.

then i extract the files i used quickbms and used the lords of arcana bms and edited the file and replaced all instances of RZL to RFB. This extracted all the files TEX,ANM,MNU,NUB,BIN,PRM and a bunch of other files.

.nub files are pretty much its sound files. I used https://archive.org/details/NUBExt_R12beta to separate all the sound files and then use vgstream to decode the sound files to be able to update. This one isnt really too important in translation but pretty neat.

the biggest one i found are where the pictures are located. all the .tex files are actually xettex files.
it can be opened with a xet viewer, but the person has stopped working on it 6 years ago so all it does is view it. If anyone can code and make it extract/repack. This could make actual patching work. As i said before im not a programmer or hacker so this info might help someone who ends up really translating.
