Digimon Story: Super Xros Wars Blue & Red [JPN to ENG] Translation

This thread is dedicated to the translation (Japanese to English) of Digimon Super Xros Wars: Blue released by Bandai in 2011 on the Nintendo DS.

For updates regarding the translation of Digimon Story: Lost Evolution, please head to https://gbatemp.net/threads/digimon-story-lost-evolution-translation-project.323038/ .

The format of the Xros Wars files inside of the ROM are similar to the ones found in Digimon Story: Lost Evolution. Programmer Normmatt has provided some tools to unpak these files. Since the source was not available for these tools, I have created my own and made it open-source for anyone to add/edit features.

https://github.com/Kaidou-Shinobu/DigiPak

The executable and source are available on the github page.

For translation of the graphics, another tool has been made to match the map, tile, and palette files automatically and batch them into a narc archive using narctools. From there you can simply use Tinke v0.9.0 to open the files, export/import to/from another graphic format. *It's currently not ready for use, but you can use the DigiPak tool to at least pull the relevant files.*

https://github.com/Kaidou-Shinobu/Digimon_NDS_GraphicMapper

The executable and source are available on the github page.

This project will be considered as open-community. Anyone who is able and willing to contribute is welcome.

Special Thanks to:
The previous and current Lost Evolution teams. Normmatt's edited fonts and PAK decompression algorithms. Provides a solid foundation for the work on this game.

Hi,

First post in this thread should contain the programs that Kaidou and I have written in order for anyone to inject text (might still need to be updated a bit?). It works with Lost Evolution (I've done some work with Lost Evo as well).

If you have any detailed questions, feel free to ask. Kaidou and I share a discord server where we discuss our Super Xros Wars translation project. Kaidou also has some Lost Evo stuff there as well. You can join our server if you'd like, just DM me if you'd like the details on getting the server info.

Wow i didnt realise there was a project for Xros translation to english thats great to hear. Hope your okay and there doesnt seem to have been an update for a while. If you could it would be great to know the progress of this rom so far now. And i appreciate the effort your putting into this. Also seeing as youve probably played the whole game already how is it in comparison to the other story games?

Not sure how to really evaluate the progress except to say that the translation of the main story is nearing its finish soon. Still a lot to be done after that though. At the moment, I'm the only one working on it (Kaidou's a bit busy atm) so the progress is not going as fast as any of us (including us) want it.

As far as the gameplay, it's a very different experience than the other games--especially the combat. Since I am not really critical in general about stuff like this, it's hard for me to say if most people would like it or not.

I can't believe I didn't know this had its own project. Glad to see there's work being done on this game. Glad to see, I though lost evo was the only DS game being given attention.

I'll take a basic translation haha but I'm in no rush. I've waited for a while, what's a bit more?

rei_hunter · Jul 12, 2019

I think i beat Super Xros Wars Blue twice already :o while waiting for english patch. xD~

Habiger · Jul 16, 2019

just dont change the name from "fusion" uauahauhauaa

rei_hunter · Jul 17, 2019

@Habiger
considering the amount of fusions you're gonna be doing ingame... well it could work but xros rolls off the tongue better.

That's a point... if the game had an official English release, it would probably be called Digimon World Fusion, right?

Can't wait to see this project completed.

Isso_Non_Ecxiste · Aug 9, 2019

hello!
I'm using ur app Kaidou-Shinobu DigiPAK, I use Drag and Drop feature into the DigiPak.exe file inside the folder I downloaded, and it shows me this on cmd:
Would you like to: <1> UNPAK or <2> PAK?
I'm using a digimon world dusk pak file, and when I put 1 and tap ENTER key, shows me this message:
File Successfully opened.
and after that, DigiPak.exe stops working cuz of a crash issue.
if I put <1> nothing happens and the app closes.
idk if DigiPak.exe is in the right directory, or if I'm missing something, but if you could tell me how to make it works, I'd be glad.
