Translation English translation for Okaeri! Chibi-Robo! Happy Richie Ōsōji!

[hippy dave]

Amazing again

 

[Pablitox]

It looks awesome! Great job!!

 

[Isegrim]

"My body is ready!" for a beta release!
Looks great. Played it for a minutes in the japanese Version and already felt at home.
No wonder the japenese version of this game is still pretty expensive for a DS game.

First I would like to say thank you for doing this. My bro and I thought a translation for this game would never happen. You are awesome for doing this amazing work I really appreciate you taking out your time to translate this game. It is a dream come true for me to be able to play this game I am really really happy that you are doing this. However I have just have two questions, first what is the translated title of game going to be? There is a old youtube video of someone else who was test translating it and they called it chibi robo happy rich sweeping.

Are you going to something similar to that or is it going to be a straight translation of the original title? My second question is a bit big but after you finish this project do you think you can translate the japanese wii version of chibi robo in english using the gamecube script? That would be cool too.

I've briefly considered the naming issue before, but I've not come to any conclusion on what to do yet. The literal translation is "Welcome Home, Chibi-Robo! - Happy, Rich, Major Cleaning!", which sounds kinda "meh". Using "sweeping" like the previous unfinished translations doesn't fit very well either, since a vacuum is the main cleaning tool used in the game, not a sweeper. I'll continue to think about it before I make a final decision, if I can't think of anything worthwhile then I'll just use the literal translation just mentioned. You guys can feel free to come with name proposals too, if you think you have one that sounds nice.

Sorry but no, I won't be translating the Wii game (using existing script or not). It's too time consuming and I'll be finished with my studies this summer, after that it's full time work and I simply won't have the time to do it. I've spent hundreds of hours on this one already and I'm getting kinda sick of it.

I see thanks for the reply. Doing a translation and studying is pretty big and fact that you are doing it alone too is definitely time consuming. I agree that doing another translation would be too much. As for the name of the ds game I have seen another translation and it is called "Welcome Home Little Robo! Happy, Rich Big Sweep" A name I can think of over the top of my head is "Chibi-Robo Happy Vacuum Adventure!" I think the name is pretty simple and fits the series. Since the names went from things like "Make It Bloom! Little-Robo!" to "Chibi-Robo Park Patrol" and "Chibi-Robo Photography" to "Chibi-Robo Let's Go, Photo" to "Chibi Robo Photo Finder". I think "Welcome Home Little Robo! Happy, Rich Big Sweep" to "Chibi-Robo Happy Vacuum Adventure" fits pretty well.

 

[Valahart]

I'm so excited this is almost done.

I've been meaning to play this game for the past 3 years!

Thank you so much for making it happen!

I have an idea for a title as well! Considering the premise of the game and the Japanese title...how about this?

Chibi-Robo: Clean Sweep

I like this reasoning, and I agree that a short non-cheesy title should be used, as all western titles have been modified in that way. Though I find your proposal a bit too generic and cheesy.

Chibi-Robo: Clean Sweep

This is nice and satisfies the above reasoning. Only problem is that "clean sweep" has another meaning that is unrelated to cleaning. But I might choose to use it anyway!

So, for the current status of the project... Progress has slowed down a bit since I haven't spent my whole spare time on it lately like before. But I've still been trying to correct at least a few dialogue lines every day. The beta patch release probably isn't very far away, but I can't really give any release date. I want it all done before summer, hopefully earlier than that.

So i've been sitting here for like 2 hours trying to figure out how to use cwgwin and I've decided that I can't do it. Would you be ok with PMing me a compiled version of what currently exists now? I would really appreciate it.

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

I just realized that might not be allowed. If it isn't that's fine.

Yeah, cygwin can be a bit annoying. And if you don't know your way around a terminal then it's going to be even more annoying. And as you said, I can't provide any pre-built ROM.

If you're looking to play the game, and not work with the translation, I recommend that you just wait until I release a patch. It's going to be a lot better than the current build.

Not Cjuub's fault nor mine if you screw something up when attempting to patch.

(If Cjuub wants this to be removed, just ask.)

EDIT: Removed due to it being broken

 

[Cjuub]

It's fine, just keep in mind that it's a build not even ready for beta release. I still fix tons of errors all the time, so I don't recommend using it.

Yeah, I'm actually attempting to setup a Jenkins build for the project.

Also, wouldn't it be easier to use CMake?

 

[Cjuub]

Of course, using more automated build systems would probably be nice. But the Makefile I used never grew unmanageable, so I kept it around since the start. All program code is finished now (I think), so there's no need to spend time improving it (I think it's nice and clean tbh).

Hi fellow Chibi Robo fans. Just like everyone here, I wanted to say thanks for all your hard work, Cjuub. All the screenshots look great. It can be frustrating doing this and we really appreciate it. Chibi Robo is such a fun character and we're all so excited to have some more of him to play.

master801 - Thanks for the xdelta, but I'm not seeing any difference in the xdelta-patched rom. The new patched file is 49mb, 4a3e1a3b66d46bcaa431c9261ed9430d. I'm going to check out Cjuub's latest work from github later tonight. I see that Cjuub really is working all the time there

Something done broke.

Thanks for reporting this, but I'm unable to replicate this error from a clean clone from github, I've tried on both Linux and Windows+cygwin.

I'm guessing you're getting segfaults due to missing files, I have very bad error checking in the code for that. If you cloned the repo a long time a ago, then you need to rerun './scripts/extract_original_files.sh' before './scripts/build_translated_rom.sh', not doing this could typically produce the above error.

Otherwise, try:
* make clean; make
* be sure 'tools/ndstool.exe' has dependencies needed since you're running in cygwin. It will give errors when running './scripts/extract_original_files.sh' if you don't.
* restart with a new clone from github.

... If that doesn't work then I don't know what's causing it. The command giving segfault is correct.

Wow, I'm stupid, thanks for pointing out that I'm doing it wrong. I wasn't running the extract script as I thought it wasn't necessary.


I'll be posting a new properly built patch file in a little bit.

EDIT EDIT:

I have a Jenkins build running for the project, it runs every two hours or so (not sure how often I want it to be).

It also uploads to Dropbox. I shouldn't run out of space anytime soon (for another 13 builds or so).

The patches are named with its corresponding git commit hash.

So I finally got around to fix the title screen graphics today, I might still polish it up a bit but here it is, together with the original for comparison:

Note: I think I'll go with "Clean Sweep!", so thanks for the suggestion, Sora De Eclaune.

As stated in an earlier post, this title screen will not be present in the repository, but I will include it in the coming patches.
