ROM Hack Awatama -> Soul Bubbles

[pepe2]

Any1 is interested on helping me if possible to swich the files that are neded to have the cutness of the japanesse version with english text? i've seen that obj and tex folders are involving into this cuz i've replaced em and get the Usa version so must be a combination on the files insidethose folders to be switched

 

[xshinox]

theres a difference of graphics between the two?

 

[Hadrian]

Yeah plus there are gameplay differences, some things have been tightened etc.

i just looked at a video. the main character was changed. american version had a bald kid and japanese has a kid with hair. hmm, i wonder if it is possible to do what the TC wants.

i havce succeded in "translating" the game but it also changes the character so i want to swich only the necesary files not the whole folders i have tried to do so but then if i dont swich the whole folder i get graphical errors and text in japanese

 

[Psyfira]

Am I seriously the only one who preferred the character in the original version? The purple looks ridiculous.

Ugh, I'm really tired and wanna go to sleep but I'm gonna try to take a shot at this. Doesn't look that hard at all, tbh.

There we go.

pepe, you're sort of doing it wrong; for starters in order to translate the dialogue, simply open up the /local/ folder within the game directory (using something like DSbuff or DSlazy), and swap the names of

strings_JP.dat.game.bin
and
strings_US.dat.game.bin

then, swap the two files "ui_main.NFTR" and "ui_main_JP.NFTR" as well. They're in the /fonts/ folder.
The Japanese game uses a bigger font, so some text won't display right. The American one will work fine, and won't make "All rights reserved" blink weird in the legal info at the beginning of the game.

then repack!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Some things don't translate and yes, graphical errors occur but

THAT'S IT omg i have more trouble getting out of bed in the morning than doing this


Even better: If you're Spanish, French or whatever, those languages are in here too! Just swap the JP file with the file from your region.
All of the European images are actually stored within the game; the dialogue strings also contain filepaths and pointers to that region's text. This means that you don't even need the Soul Bubbles ROM in order to do this!




this is so disgustingly simple to do that I don't even want to post a patch; most anyone with a brain can do it themselves. However if there's some lazy, lazy people I'll leave it up to TC, but let me warn you

It actually takes less time doing the above method than patching it

yeah!!!

tnks alot it worked but as it has many errors could be possible to replace jsut the char in the english version so no ppl complain?

should be in the models folder - take /player_JP/ folder from the Japanese game and /prologue_jp/

THat will only swap the models though, if you're OK with that

Everything else is too different for a simple copy-paste job
There's a few more files you might want to switch, so the little guy at the map screen is the Japanese character and not the US one



Idk, I'd rather have my unreadable pause screen than a US version that's glitchy everywhere :I

The texture video format is stored in a file called MaterialTable, outside of the actual texture files, so this has to be modified if you get corrupted display.
