    ROM Hack English Magi Nation GBA Translation - Rom Patch!

    Thanks for the reports, it's pretty easy to get most of those fixed! Anything in the script (such as blu's "toney" that I may have missed in a search and replace for just "tony") is usually a quick fix. Tusk's name and other truncated names that show up in generated messages such as in battle...

    ROM Hack English Magi Nation GBA Translation - Rom Patch!

    IPS patch with Tony replacing Dan in the script (just "Tny" in menu and battle messages though) and using @EvilJagaGenius Tony character portrait swap, will update in the OP as well to include the link there. The patch is created from the original japanese file, so in theory it should overwrite...

    You are all so welcome for the translation! Over the past few months I've since been working on deconstructing how the RNG works so that I can abuse that for rng manipulation. But that's a side hobby I've only been able to put in a few hours at a time for. @EvilJagaGenius and thank you for...

    A new patch with the below text fixes has been released. Overall minor and nothing that significantly affected changes. The version number is 1.01 and the file is now uploaded to the first post. "still enjoying the party" <-- too long, cuts into next line. FIXED "refuse warada's suggestion"...

    ROM Hack English Magi Nation GBA Translation - Rom Patch!

    I am 100% not a rom hacker either (though technically untrue now, I suppose). Just a person who loved this game so much and understood the minimums of basic japanese well enough to decide to brute force my way through the entire translation in the least ugly way possible. At least until...

    You are so welcome! They absolutely did use the most generic anime design possible for Dan, to make it more "relatable" to their audience. Granted, Tony was also the most generic western american kid ever, as well. But it's just so glaring and off-putting the difference in art styles between...

    ROM Hack English Magi Nation GBA Translation - Rom Patch!

    Oooh, ~fancy~ Having no clue beyond the bare basics of how pointers work, let alone the ones for this game, I have no sense of how much time/effort it took you to get that all swapped over. But I can't thank you enough for doing so. It does seem that every major section aside from the ones I'd...

    ROM Hack English Magi Nation GBA Translation - Rom Patch!

    Interesting, may have been something to do with loading up an older save, since with everything pointed to the english script dump there's probably very few actual 10's for the game to encounter to be reminded what language to use. Either way, there was space for it, and adding in a few more...

    ROM Hack English Magi Nation GBA Translation - Rom Patch!

    Great! Thank you once again. With everything pointed to english it should just be a matter of cleaning up typos and such (Leae Cut spell, lol). It looks like the battle menu is now showing up in japanese characters, but everything is named as it should be, so I'll bring it up in the hex...

    ROM Hack English Magi Nation GBA Translation - Rom Patch!

    For any old saves, because all of the english script dump strings no longer had a language variable, i had to enter a battle so that the message there would set the variable to 10, otherwise it just displayed all townsfolk's message strings with japanese characters. New saves shouldn't have...

    ROM Hack English Magi Nation GBA Translation - Rom Patch!

    Seems like there's a little fixing up to do. Any "..." had the single hex byte 91 that was read under japanese language variable of 11, but shows as an error character when translated to english, and it seems a couple more punctuation are now showing up as error characters. And "Yes Hai" is...

    ROM Hack English Magi Nation GBA Translation - Rom Patch!

    Sweet! I think I only adjusted two or three pointers, most notably the one for Dan's name at position 7,795,280/8,388,608 (line 0076f250), to give his name 3 character spaces to use instead of just 2. Some strings I also started them where their language variable was to buy an extra character...

    I have encountered a problem: how/where can I upload a .ips file? auto Okay, putting it in a zipped folder seemed to work, let me know if you can use this!

    ROM Hack English Magi Nation GBA Translation - Rom Patch!

    =O If they're repointing just to the english string strings I'm not sure that'll be enough, because as mentioned each of the strings in the japanese script starts with a language variable of 11, and none of the english strings in the dump had that. There were also areas that extra lines were...

    Here lies all of my progress through working within the code and getting ever more complete understanding of how the coding works and progress through the game. Though now mostly obsolete, I think it still deserved a place to stay that was away from the first post. Initial Intro, "Don't let...

    I'm starting to be able to read some of the two digit hex bytes. As Japanese kana on sight. Is this good? Is this bad? What does it all mean. I dream in hexadecimal now. My cat reminds me when it's food time. For the both of us. Alt tab, F1. Read, alt F4. Alt tab, ctrl F. Type, ctrl S. Our...

    Edit: Teaser image dump from when I was first starting out the project. Much of it is now obsolete with improved translations via pointers thanks to Normmatt, but it's a great record of the progress I made through on my own, and of how proud I was as a newbie. Reserved. Going to use this...

    (June 14, 2020) ~~New patch, 1.01 Tony swap. Instances of "Dan" in the script have been replaced with "Tony", and Dan's character portrait while talking has been replaced with Tony's. Script change done by me, in menus and battle messages it will appear as "Tny" due to being still limited to 3...
