Hello again everyone! Ran into another [noob] problem with Brilliant Blue: how would I reencrypt and repack the PGD file back into the iso?
CriFileSystem can reencrypt cpk (the PGD) file. UMDGen can repack the file back to ISO.
A word of advice: For Idea Factory games that use STCM script format like Brilliance Blue, try to include the "switch" code as a remark when you extract scripts. This switch code will make things more convenient for the translators. (This code will mark the choices and you can roughly identify when the dialogs branch, when they end, and when they branch back, etc.)

reencrypt noted, but where in the iso would I repack the .pgd file? Since we had to use jcpsp to take it out, the .pgd is not actually visible when we browse the iso with UMDGen.
I don't really use any script extracting software; I manually delete the hexes between lines of script. I've noticed switch on choices, yeah, and that flg_memory is usually a few lines before the actual script starts.
(I explain this from my memory, so it's not exact. But you should be able to figure out when you open the actual program.)
In JPCSP's PGD folder, it should have a number in the file name or folder name. Then open the ISO with UMDGen and see the file list. It'll list file locations as number. Find the number that matches the number in PGD file name. That's the file you need to replace. (First rename PGD file to the file name you see in UMDGen.)
By the way, it's also a good idea to try to insert some English text in the game and see how many characters are allowed per line and how many lines are allowed in each dialog box, etc. And usually, text for choices will have stricter limitation than dialog text. (Some game allows only one line of text for choice, etc.)
okay, noted
for info's sake the file is INSTALL.DNS.as for lines, there doesn't seem to be a problem because the script is already divided into lines, albeit differently from Passion Pink. Thank you so much!
if I can't find a way to patch the game externally, I'll have to rebuild the .iso, right? considering that the forum prohibits access to the original .iso, how acceptable is distributing a patched .iso?
Distributing patched ISO is as bad as distributing original ISO.
As far as I asked around, Xdelta patch seemed to be the one most people recommended for making a PSP patch.
Also, this thread is where I learned about decrypting PGD file and unpacking CPK files, etc.

It might be helpful to you as well.
Here's the script to decompile/compile Brothers Conflict: PP .tbl files: https://gist.github.com/xyzz/e027d4f1505c6f4dd7d8
reinsertion test:
It also seems that adding new commands (new text entries) doesn't break anything, at least in the first script that I tried to do that with.

Hi, first of all is this game nearly finished?
second of all are you going to translate brothers conflict:briliant blue after this?

First of all, learn manners : don't ask repeatedly the same question as if people owe you a response.
Second of all, learn to read : The post right above yours shows a FIRST attempt at inserting text into the game. Ergo, the patch still has a long way to go.
@ thesebzgal
Sorry to yell you guys, but I got upset. Whatever you do, whenever you do it, you have my full support ! Thanks for even trying to translate BroCon ! I know from following other projects how taxing a process that can be… so kudos to you, take all the time you need !

Hey guys! how was the translation going? hopefully it's not dropped and is going well~! Thank you for translating the game, I'm really looking forward to it!
thesebzgal, if you have some scripts translated, you should try to make a test patch and run it on PSP to check if everything goes well with the program/scripts/etc. If there's any problem, you can spot and fix it early. Don't trust emulators too much. I just learned my lesson that things that worked on emulators might not work on PSP. T_T
will do!
1) It's just really difficult to manually replace the Japanese text (and line breaks)
2) I have no idea how to use thexyz's compiling script
It's just my suggestion that if you find a program to work with text insertion, try to test it and see the program's limitations, etc. Things will be easier if you adjust your translation to follow the program's format earlier in the translation process. You can also ask the translators to submit translation in a format that's ready to be inserted.
As for line breaks, I know Microsoft Word can do auto-line break if you save to plain text. (It'll ask if you want to insert line breaks when you save.) Just adjust the page margins until it holds about the same length of text as the game, and copy/paste your translation, it'll break the lines for you. The game uses %N for line break, so you can save it as plain text with line break first. Then search/replace new line with %N or something like that. (I know this sounds confusing. It's just one way to do line break without having to do everything manually. There are many other ways you can use. You can search for them on Internet.

I used to have a few of those with Direct Sound on XP and Audigy Platinum sound card with high end speakers was a glorious time for audio

Some websites have full studio rips of production kind of hard to find for obvious reasons+1

Not sure current audio codec based sound built in to motherboards can handle the bit depth those used
