ROM Hack Digimon Story Lost Evolution Project

[Normmatt]

Ok guys I've uploaded the latest tools which fix a bug when saving pak files with multiple partitions in PakEditor(The script editor). PakManager now supports decompressing files but forces them to be uncompressed when reinserted.

You will need to replace the default arm9.bin with the replacement included to fix the fact that the game forces all characters in the main dialogue to a width of 12 no matter what its proper width is in the nftr.

As others already said, the font looks really good.

Also, really nice, that you are also going to translate the story, I'm looking forward to the results of this project.

As long as the font is readable then i'm sure people wont care that much, they will be wrapped that they can read it like me

Yes as mentioned above, it doesn't have to be in the best font, as long as its readable no one will mind.
Thanks again for making a English version

The story is now 10% completed

 

[MaxNuker]

Sorry if its a stupid question, but is there any release of this project?

From what i've been reading, its going awesomly well, and i'm playing Digimon World DS, then going to play Dusk/Dawn... and i want to play this one too

Normatt and Suaqua, thank you so much for all your hard work, and to all the others too.

The story is now 10% completed

Yeah I saw, as I was doing some corrections such as caps when needed etc. But I did notice that your using some of the Jap names for some Digimon but some english as well, was that a perm thing or was it a direct translation and you haven't changed it yet.

 

[suaqua]

Takoman781 who is doing tha majority of the translation does not know all of the english names so that is why they are in japanese. also MaxNuker you should really be thanking Takoman781, Yugix, as well as me and Normmatt for the work because they are doing the majority of the translation. Also no promises but there may be a beta coming out in around a week with almost everything done except the story.

thats really awesome ! i love the digimon games and it allways bugged me when there was a good game i could not understand think there were one or two wonderswan digimin games that never got an english release as well -.- (same wit my beloved rockman.exe)

so really big big thanks for trying even if it might not be perfekt still better than never being able to propperly play the game

 

[suaqua]

the original japanese doesnt have any punctuation so it is a little difficult to translate

 

[PhantomBanger]

I doubt the majority of people care much whether there's punctuation or not. There's probably not many sentences that would be hard to read without it.
Good luck though!

Normatt,

The updated tool is awsome, I was going to tell you about import/export but I thought it might be rude.
I encountered the problem of pak. That's why I revised MSGPAK01 and fix alot of mistakes

Suaqua,
I almost use Digimon Japanese names, I think we must set to either Jap or Eng

 

[Lockmaster24]

I reckon English (cept Omegamon) makes it easier on the general public who don't know jap names

 

[Cheren]

Omnimon is Omegamon English Name

 

[PhantomBanger]

Personally I'm fine with having all the Japanese names for Digimon, all the English names for Digimon or even a mix of both. I watched the English anime as a kid and have played loads of the games in English, but now I watch the Japanese anime and I have no issue with their names.

Though obviously the majority of people would probably prefer the English names, but I think we'd all prefer it to be out quicker than worry too much about something like the names. Maybe that's just me.
Keep up the good work guys, and once again thank you so much

 

[Cheren]

I Prefer the English Names of the Digimons in this Translation

 

[Lockmaster24]

Omnimon is Omegamon English Name

I know that Omegamon sounds more powerful than Omnimon thats why it was my exception

 

[yugix]

I will check with others who translate the story and get to either English or Japanese Names ( Personally I prefer the Japanese names like Omegamon, Lucemon FallDown Mode, .... and others).

 

[Cheren]

I Still Prefer the English Names for the Digimons in this Translation because I Understand English Better than Japanese

 

[Lockmaster24]

But in most cases they have the same name anyway. Only real difference I know is Omegamon = Omnimon and HolyAngemon = MangaAngemon.
