    Managed to crack the game today :D
    So this post is just a little proof, that it is possible, after like 7years. I will keep it updated, so check back for progress every now and then.
    It is a text patch. No external textures are used.

    Now it is just a matter of time.
    I still need to polish the code of my repacker, which I wrote in Python3.
    First I'm planning to release a version with all menus and items translated.

    Oh, finally someone did it, congrats! I'll keep checking for any news.

    I hope you can do it with no problem and release some beta versions for us (me) to test. I'm waiting for this for a long time.

    I know that every translation project focus first on the gameplay and then if there is interest and some dedications then perhaps the story could be translated. but as I always say: take your time, we don't hurry you and so you can do your best to just focus on finishing it.

    I have no idea, but since the Vita can play psp games, I believe you could get the downgraded (psp) version working on it.

    @Ace_Ssasin-kun, are interested in doing a HD texture mod for this project too? Someone just asked me about some HD texture hack for this project too.

    You'll make a LOT of people happier with this, like with the Toukiden Kiwami project.

    Then I wish you both @Serberker and @Ace_Ssasin good luck with it.

    Translations are welcome! - because I don't know japanese.

    I don't want to Google translate the game, so I ask for your help on this.
    If you are interested write here on in PM.

    Managed to uncover more of the dialog file's secrets.
    Discovered special character:
    FA FF __ __ __ __ __ __

    The original values were the following: FA FF 64 00 FF 00 64 00
    Converthing these values to decimal make up the color which you can see on the left side of the p6 picture.
    64 00 (hex) -> 100(dec)
    FF 00 (hex) -> 255(dec)
    64 00 (hex) -> 100(dec)

    As an experiement I changed the middle value to zero, and the game rendered the text in a blue-ish color :D

    Yep.

    The color change is mostly used in the quest descriptions, to emphasize objectives.

    Congrats on finally getting this cracked!. A lot of people, including myself, tried for years and failed. I'll jump on as a translator to help you out. This is exiting!
