[DRAGON QUEST XI 3DS ENG PATCH] I NEED YOUR HELP !

Hi everyone how could you read the title I need help translating this game .... I'll explain what I've done so far .... I have obviously extracted the game(.cia file). I tried to open the various file packs (contained in / ExtractedRomFS ) that do not open but those that are contained within the folder / ExtractedRomFs / level3d have files in .bxon format that I think have the strings of the dialogues .... obviously kuriimu the tool I'm using to extract the bxon from these file pack does not read the .bxon file. if someone could help me in this let me know in the discussion I am attaching some screenshot.... someone has any idea how to open/edit these .bxon files thanks

Yea that kind of attitude will get a lot of help. Ever stop to think most users have no clue or they would have already tried to translate this?

@IcySon55 maybe you can help? Sorry for bothering you.

There's also the fact that the game's coming to the West in a little over 2 months and any effort in translating the Japanese version isn't worth it.

The 3DS version isn't coming out in English.

But why don't you wait until the Switch version is released and then see if you can utilize that to help you with the process?

You mean like OP?

Not really the point. The entire script might be extractable, therefore making the process much quicker because one wouldn't need to retranslate the entire game. Assuming you're even capable of that to begin with. And really, this isn't the best place to ask for help anyway. Contact one of the well-known people who work on 3DS home-brews and hacking, or maybe even try out that cesspool that is /r/3dshacks on reddit (can't be much worse than this site, but then again, it is reddit).

Wait, first off, why aren’t you looking in /script?

With that said, I’d recommend using a hex editor, NOT notepad++, to do datamining. Notepad rarely displays anything besides garbage in these scenarios.

There's already a Simplified Chinese fan-translation patch for 3DS version.
However, they don't want to share their tools to others.

Or that it's also a huge pain in the ass and a lot of us stopped working on it, anticipating a US release. Now that Square has confirmed that they hate us, the project will pick up again.

the game text is actually compressed, can't decompress though, will try and see what i can find

Isn't it possible to extract and use the official English translation of the Windows or PS4 versions that are already available?

it is possible.

 

[Waveracer]

it is possible.

That should make things much easier, now we only need people who knows how to extract the Windows/PS4 texts and replace the Japanese texts in the 3DS version.

This is a pretty big stretch I think, but what are the odds people could not only patch the game with a translation, but also an orchestral music patch like what they're building out for the PC ver?

That reminds me that a fan released a remastered soundtrack patch for Final Fantasy VI for Game Boy Advance which is great because it sounded much better than the official release.

Inb4 Square Enix kills this.

BTW @OP SQEX kills all publicly known fan translation projects. If you want your efforts to not be wasted, you need to keep it secret until it's done.
