[Teny]

Alright. I will have to check it out when I am done DL. Thanks again.

EDIT - Will this work on SDHC cards? or will it only work on SD cards?

Out of interest can the xml file used for other games too or does this only work for this specific game ?

Eventually it will be, but for the moment you will have to wait. Zero4 gets the exclusive first release of Riivolution for now

(Reasons mainly being that the final version still needs a bit more work)

As a btw, I've started a support IRC channel for the patch, which can be found in #Zero4 on EFnet. Mibbit webchat can be found here: http://ta.gd/zero4

 

[SwansonE]

So, what exactly does the patch install?

 

[Bladexdsl]

so it won't work on a burnt copy?

 

[Peache]

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

Been waiting for this for ages. Cheers for doing this translation.

 

[Clish]

thank you for your work!

the wait begins again .....

Is anyone else having trouble with the offline installation? I've tried it on two different machines, and its failed on both. They're both running Windows 7, and the error log generated contains this:

For the people that wants to try getting it to work on an USB loader, you can try doing what the Monster Hunter Tri patch did. Where you use the cheat system (like Ocarina) to load the file off of the SD card, and replace some files on the ISO. Though, I think the replacement on the files on the ISO was to translate what was possible, and the one that loads off the SD card is what translates the rest.
I don't know how to do any of these, so I am just going to let others try and figure it out.
I am still DL the patch, it stopped at 177MB and said it was finished, so I had to start over again, and other people in the household are DL other things and slowing me down.

I actually have an idea as to how to get backups loading(for burnt disks, not USB), but I cant test it out unless I can get the offline installation working. If I can and it works, I'll make sure to reply here with that info.

 

[metroid4life14]

I'm not a very experienced hacker or anything, but couldn't you just open the iso with wiiscrubber and replace the respective partitions with the translated ones?

i thought the same thing, but i am sure there is a better method ....

 

[Jotokun]

Yes, it was replacing its downloaded files with one from CIOScorp.

 

[9th_Sage]

Oy, I wish it wasn't so much to import the game (it's a bit more than I want to pay at the moment). Even so, excellent job on this Tempus and crew. This is really pretty impressive.

 

[misteromar]

I was this worked with usb loaders.

 

[Riicky]

ahhhhh Tempus YOU....ARE...THE....MAN!!! been waiting for this since I heard FF4 wasn't going to be localized...thanks alot!

Same problem here, using win7 too :s

It’s not because we don’t support piracy, but it is because we want people with the legal game to be able to play it. It’s about making it MORE accessible to people who don’t pirate or don’t know how (and don’t care to learn). Pirates will find their own way if they really want to, we didn’t put any protection on it or anything. It just uses our own loader.

Someone on my usual site respects you enough to take down a full translated ISO that was uploaded based on your patch.

Seriously, it was up for a MAX of 2 hours. I lol'd a bit.
