Hello,
I've do some test and i think the problematic is finally not directly related to '.rtz' but is from the code.bin translation, and finally it's much logic i do some and I'll keep you posted :)

TUTO_04 :
- no_modif => OK
- just_recompile => OK
- code.bin reinjection post bss nottrad => OK
- code.bin reinjection post bss withtrad => KO

Thx for suggest :)

ok found the pb the name in rtz need to correspond to the name in code.bin that mean auto trad certainly be complicated...

Wooo, I love the 3DS vanguard games! I'd love to help, but my knowledge of JPN is limited to Kana only since I'm still learning, my best wishes for this project!
 
Hello, you don't need a very good level for help, anyway the litteral trad jap => english isn't good ( we need to adapt it ) and the card trad is do in sourcing offical trad
Post automatically merged:

Ok, i think we can seriously start the trad, all tuto seen to work well with cardname trad, now 2 objectifs :

after this screen kamui give you Harmonics Messiah, we need to know why the game crash at this moment, ( no ref in the rtz :
script/EV_G_04.bin )

continue the trad of all rtz ( the format seen well know, i think bug are related to missing pointer deference or encoding problem )

Hi,
We've made quite a bit of progress translating the images, and I think we'll soon be able to release an alpha patch. Our goal for now will be to make sure there are no bugs. Unfortunately, I'm having a little trouble figuring out how to publish this kind of patch. I saw a tutorial that said you just had to put the files in a directory structure:
MyPatch.zip
└── luma/
└── titles/
└── <TITLE_ID>/
├── romfs/...
└── code.bin
If anyone could confirm this and help me test it
 

[RELEASE] Cardfight!! Vanguard G: Stride to Victory — English Fan Translation (Alpha 1.0)​

This is an early fan translation patch for Cardfight!! Vanguard G: Stride to Victory (3DS), a game originally released exclusively in Japan.

Important Note on Translation & Recruitment:

Due to technical constraints, this initial release relies on automated/machine translation. It is far from perfect and contains rough phrasing.

We are actively looking for translators and proofreaders who would like to help build a proper, high-quality manual translation. If you're interested in joining the project, please reach out!

Great job guys! Keep up the great work!

I wish I could help, but all I can do is test 🙏

Hello,
I’ve already checked that it works on the emulator; if you could test it on a real console, that would be brilliant.
I’d also like to point out that I’ve noticed a few strings of text in the ‘ro’ section (unfortunately, they’re hard-coded, but I’ll be translating them very soon) which are essentially confirmation messages within the game; if you see them in Japanese, that’s perfectly normal.
I’ve also tested it on an Android emulator and the start-up time is quite long. If you have any tips on how to optimise the start-up process, I’d love to hear them

I don't emulate games, so I can't help with Android! But I have the JP cart of this game and I can test the patch on real hardware when I get back tonight.

[RELEASE] Cardfight!! Vanguard G: Stride to Victory — English Fan Translation (Alpha 2.0)

This is an early fan translation patch for Cardfight!! Vanguard G: Stride to Victory (Nintendo 3DS), a game originally released exclusively in Japan.

Important Note on Translation & Recruitment:
Due to technical constraints, this release still relies primarily on automated/machine translation. While playable, it is far from perfect and contains rough phrasing.

We are actively looking for translators (JPN ➔ ENG), proofreaders, and graphic editors to help build a proper, high-quality manual translation. If you're interested in joining the project, please reach out!

⚠️ Known Issues
* Text formatting, line breaks, and UI alignment may still be slightly off in certain menus.
* Dialogue and card descriptions may contain inaccuracies due to the auto-translation base.

found the problem in the citra doc ^^
you need to move the code.bin from exefs/ near the exheader.bin

Hello,
I investigate on the errors for the physical console ( emulator seen to work well ) the problem seen not directly related to the trad but to a memory allocation pb between emulator and physical console,
On physical console you can use only romfs in a first time ( that trad story + images/menu )
I keep you update
