ROM Hack Culdcept DS [open translation]

[theli]

just redownload latest patch, maybe something wetn wrong on that patch's creation

 

[b_simpson1999]

I would like to say thanks again for this brilliant translation so far keep it up

 

[HolyMouthMan]

Hey guys, I can't find a Rom that works in Japanese or after the patch is applied.

I'd be down to buy the game in Japanese an rip it but I'm simple and don't know know how I would get it from the cartridge. Is there a thread somewhere for this?

Ultimately I wanna put it back on an Acekard II but I need to find out how.

Pretty much desperate to play this game in English so any help would rock.

This is fantastic. If it weren't for this translation patch, I wouldn't have even tried playing it. I would've been missing out on a whole buncha awesome. Thanks, and keep up the great work!

Hey there HMM,

Go to www.play-asia.com and search for the game to import. Here is the game you want:
http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-13-71-9g-77-...pt-70-2x31.html

Try using this guide to use Wi-fi to FTP into your DS and download the .nds file and .sav file:
http://www.teamcyclops.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1942

From there, you should be able to download the patch from our wiki:
http://culdcept.referata.com/wiki/WIP_Patch

And use the program that Theli made to easily patch the .nds file:

I hope this works for you

Thank you so much for this patch. Online is AWESOME, with voice chat support all the time. Anyone knows what are the options for it? I always go and pick up the first one. Maybe there's a mode where your online opponest can't see your cards?

 

[harrypmgaga]

If possible, I'd love to translate the English to Spanish. Basically as each build of the patch comes through I'll simply update my Spanish build with the translations. Let me know,

Cheers.

Hey thanks a Bunch, haven't tried it yet, gotta get my copy first.

Oh and you guys are awesome.

I could use a bit of help patching the game. I tried using the GUI patcher. Put both the untrimmed ROM and the patch in the same folder, used the GUI, and it seemed to work...I guess. But when attempting to play the game, all the menus were still in Japanese. So, I'm assuming I wasn't successful.

another instructions for patching

extract contents of latest patch archive and http://omploader.org/vMWl2cw/patch.rar
to some directory
so that contents of that directory look like this:

culdcept_eng.xdelta3
Drop Rom Here.bat
xdelta3.exe

and then just drop rom on "Drop Rom Here.bat" file

Try using this to patch, it's not a GUI but it's easy to use and should work better.

Thanks. That seems to have done the trick.

So, just to understand what is translated, is the opening video supposed to be in English? I still see kanji characters.

 

[Bandle]

Yeah, the opening vid still isn't translated. Most menus and ingame texts are translated.

 

[Buatha]

small status update...
i can now read (and partly write) much of Culdcept's graphics ... (including manual pages)
ans such things as intro movie

which in fact is just a slideshow with subtitles (also as images)

(screen from emu)


i haven't found shrines' effects text yet

Okay, because when I saw this post, I thought something was wrong with my intro. Thanks for the clarification.

 

[chexxor]

Can you fix the subtitles if we translate them, Theli? I forgot about the opening flash video.

 

[ndspeng]

thanx for all the work Theli

i loved the culdcept for PS & PS2, but i had given up playing culdcept for the DS until i found someone had translated it.
damn, there goes my last 2-3 days just playing this game

other than a few times the game crashed on me when i went to the info screen after an hour so into the game (now i don't access to info screens no more, too scared

) I'm loving the translations.

again, thanx a lot for your work.

thanks for the translation Theli!! i just found this yesterday and it's pretty freakin' awesome! =) and definitely playable.

anyways, just wanted to know if this translation is still going on. from the wiki page it seems like most, if not all, are translated already...

i did notice that the shrine effects are not translated yet and it kind of created some confusion while i was playing. not sure if those are planned to be translated later?

also during the first mission (tutorial?) when i hit the select button, which is suppose to give me hints, i get a batch of message that didn't really make any sense... is that linked weird?

EDIT:
couple other things i noticed.

when i was editing my book, no matter how many cards i have in my book it always says "book incomplete!" at the bottom as i exit and save. even if i have 50 cards.

in the first mission (tutorial), one of the messages was repeated twice for some reason.

 

[mixinluv2u]

not sure if this project is still alive at all, since there are no responses after my post, but just wanted to offer my help to the project if it's still ongoing.

my japanese skill is limited (i am fluent in chinese so i can understand most, if not all, kanji), and some common words used in RPGs. but i am proficient in graphic editing if these will be worked on in the project.

i helped out in the JUS translation project here on gbatemp.

 

[theli]

sorry for not answering
i'm alive
project is pretty stalled as none touched pictures which are posted in this topic (and i don't know japanese and does not have great graphic skills)

i'll repeat the posted link for anyone interested
http://omploader.org/vMWprbw/pictures.7z
if someone translates some pictures - post them here and i'll hack them in

also if people are still interested in translating i'll try to find time and finish extracting missing texts (like temples' effects)

edit: yes, i can hack 'movie' subtitles in - they are in that pictures archive

 

[mixinluv2u]

here i did a really quick edit of one of the images 00736.gif see if this works out okay. =)

i looked at the intro video text and the colors are not just plain white even though that's how it looks when i loaded it on my DS. not sure how to go about that.

i contacted amishsexy, chexxor, and Bandle to see if they can help me translate the text on the image files. i can handle the actual graphic end of things. =)

more of these "control method" batch of images to come.
