Are there still more updates coming?
There are some minor changes not in the latest patch (but in the latest commit at github), I also have some minor changes in mind mostly relating to using localizations from the previous titles (penguin soda -> pop fizz soda or whatever the name was).

But the patch won't receive any larger changes, no.

Thank you for the translation! Just logged in to say thanks, I really aprecciate all the hard work you put in this. Chibi Robo is an amazing game and is a crime that it went unlocalized. My newborn son will be playing this in 4 or 5 years thanks to you.

Really nice job on this, works perfectly on my DSTwo, nice to play Translations on original hardware.

This is semi-off topic, but I've been looking a bit into translating the Wii New Play Control version of Chibi-Robo.
Apparently doing the translation for that isn't as simple as "copy files X, Y, and Z" from the English GC version into the Wii version.
Something involving ShiftJIS character encoding going on. I managed to get a few lines translated myself, but it's rather time consuming, and I'd have no idea where to start with the graphics.

But if you're in need of another Chibi Robo related project once this one is done, there's no translation for that version of the game, it'd be nice to experience it with the fancy new controls and native widescreen support it has.

It's time to remove the beta status from this patch, it seems well received enough!

New release:
https://github.com/cjuub/okaeri-chibi-translation/releases/tag/v1.1

It changes Dirt -> dirt, Dust -> dust etc, since these weren't actual objects in a way. It also changes "Hihi" to "Hehe" since I noticed people pronounced "hihi" different from my purpose, it comes from me being a swede I guess...

This is most likely the absolute final release (at least from my side of things), unless more complaints/pull requests arrive. Enjoy!
I will upload it to romhacking.net as well.

Thanks for your support, however I will not work on the Wii adaption, I have no interest in it and it would most likely be too time consuming for it to be rewarding for me.

Thank you so much for your dedication to translating this previously neglected gem. I've been having a blast with it the past few days and it's honestly worth owning a flashcart for this game alone.

  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it

  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Samsung SD format can sometimes fix them too
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    yes looks like an faulty sd

    @Psionic Roshambo i may try that with my dead sd cards

    It's always worth a shot

    @The Real Jdbye, I considered that, but i'll have to wait until i can get the eu version in the mail lol
