    Tutorial How to Crack a Custom Compression Algorithm

    Thanks so much, Fast! Always admire your work on here; really appreciate you taking the time to read. :) Going manual to decode isn't a terrible idea for sure, especially if you're familiar with how compression works. However, when I was first starting out (this was my fourth project I took on...

    ROM Hack Translation Hamtaro Nazo Nazo Q English Translation (problem with custom graphics)

    The Ham Ham Paradise folks made a ton of progress but ultimately the project seems to have stalled out for now due to issues with translating it. I've also moved on to this project.

    How to extract/rip/export 3d graphics and models and animated/of animation from nds ROM games?

    It varies a lot depending on which game you're working with. You have to do some legwork to understand the internals of the ROM you're working with and how they store that data and even then you're gonna have your work cut out for you trying to rip 3D models w/ animations. What game are you...

    Hi folks! I've joined up with Cerber4444 (see previous threads here and here) to try to translate this visual novel with an original storyline based on the light novels/anime The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya. I'm a fairly competent hacker with a lot of experience in the Nintendo DS space (see...

    Translation Suzumiya Haruhi no Chokuretsu (NDS) -Translation success- Need Advice

    Hi! So that's not game code surrounding it; that's more data for this scene. I don't know what all of it does yet, but I can tell you that this entire chunk is compressed and that the decompression subroutine lives at 0x2026190. You'll have to decompress it before you can begin editing it and...

    ROM Hack Are there any graphical *.tickflow editors?

    if you learn to program, you can make anything you want. (: short answer, yes, totally possible. As a starting language, I'd probably recommend C# and WPF over C++ but check the pinned thread on programming languages for more info. (note: C# is my primary language so I am a bit biased)

    ROM Hack Translation Hamtaro Nazo Nazo Q English Translation (problem with custom graphics)

    I did it. (: (I am not an artist.) The compression routine needs to be refined as does the utility more generally, but I think I'm ready to start recruiting translators & artists. Thanks for reading!

    ROM Hack Translation Hamtaro Nazo Nazo Q English Translation (problem with custom graphics)

    It turns out that Nazo Nazo Q is very similar to the Mario & Luigi DS games (specifically Partners In Time) that were also made by Alpha Dream! I was able to crib some code from Yoshi Magic (thanks to Salanewt and Teawater for the pointers!) and decode the animation/map data in order to...

    ROM Hack Translation Hamtaro Nazo Nazo Q English Translation (problem with custom graphics)

    I found out that there's a subroutine that runs before the decompression subroutine which loads blocks of data into memory. This means that it is block-based compression, which isn't super surprising. In any case, I was able to cut past simulating that subroutine and just guessed approximately...
