ROM Hack FFTA2 Translation Patch Releases

[zombielove]

WTF?!?!? You fixed all crashes?

I thought you were gonna reply and say "Sorry, there's no way to fix some crashes."

You kick arse, deufeufeu.

I'm gonna go translate some more!

Many thanks for this great release!

I really needed my SRPG fix, without the 6-8 month waiting period...

The process worked just fine for me with 256MB of RAM. I got the 110MB file and all was well. Congratulations on a fine job!!

Thank you Kawamura for all the suggestions you are adding to the wiki

 

[Kawamura]

No prob. I'm all for testing and making the release really, really great for all of us. Though most of the time, they really look like nitpicks. >:3

どうしたの。。。

[Kawamura]

Hmm. I had a 110MB rom file after expanding. Devteam, what's it supposed to be? :3

Are you sure you patched the right file (the one with the "e" at the end of the filename)? I've got that black screen using the rom without the enlarger, just applying the patch.

Try using the R4 Rom trimmer (v. 2.0) before using the enlarger

 

[kazuki_pl]

yes

n/m

i dont want to play ffta2 right now anymore... i will just w8 for "eu" version...

No, you have to patch the clean and not trimmed rom.
I didn't try to patch a trimmed one, but even if it works, it's always better to use clean rom for a patch.

Original is
128Mo, or 134 217 728 (but it's listed 128Mo/Mbytes, as 1Mo = 1024 bytes)

110Mo, or 116 116 268 (but it's listed 110Mo/Mbytes, as 1Mo = 1024 bytes)

So, 110 or 116 is good to patch. I don't know why it's freezing and you have a black screen.
the ppf patching process says patched successfuly ? (maybe there's no check included)


Edit : corrected

you are right
134 217 728 is 128M

shouldnt the original file be 128 MB? (131'072 KB)

 

[KizunaIatari]

This is the only problem I've found that hasn't already been stated.

The name of the phoenix down is phoenix doeli. I think its because Elixir is next in line and they're overlapping. But that's just me.

 

[Cyan]

Yes, that's the overlapping problem we mentioned.

We translated without testing in game, so we see now that the item's name have to be less or exactly 10 letters long.
you can see, counting the space as a character, that until the "o" in Down, it's 10 letters.

We are actually retranslating some names to better fit. but we can't shorten them all.

 

[nicklessguy]

I've fixed all crashes, I might do a bugfix release.

Please!

This patch rocks too much! I just cant wait to use it, but the status/new-job crash blocks the game flow.
I have a few crashes now and then in the shops as well (some people on gamefaqs boards have them too), as i reported in the wiki. Im using a real DS with R4, not emulator. I dont know if you found any causes for it yet, but even so, this dont blocks the game, as i can just swap roms when i need to do a long shop run and then come back to the patched one, but a bugfix release for the battle crashes would be very nice =)

I guess theres no problem in abreviating names. Everyone will know that a Phoenix Down even if its writen as Phnx. Down or the likes.
If you want any help in abreviating or shortening itens, quest names and the likes, i will gladly do it, as long as they are translated already, as my japanese is very limited.

 

[01torres]

I have never had those shop freezes happen to me and I am using a R4. So I don't know what it is that causing it.

Yeah its really VERY random, i tried hard to find common things between each crash but i cant.
My pacthed rom has 116.116.268 bytes, is that suposed to be correct?

 

[01torres]

It varies but over 100mb should be ok as long as you have patched it right.

Ps Any help shortening items and mission will help and won't need japanese skill for example if you look how much I have done and I don't know any japanese at all.

 

[nicklessguy]

Then i will use up the free time i just got now to do it.
Just give me pointers about how many characters are possible for each kind?
itens = 10
quests = 16?
jobs = 10 as well?
abilities = ?

and such...

Also some things are really impossible, so its ok if a abbreviate?
I guess its better to see an abbreviated name then to see it messed up with the next line's characters.

 

[Hidan]

I'm using G6 Lite and have some quest mission freezes

 

[Indicible]

116 116 278 octets (or bytes) seems to be one of the correct sizes.

If another patch is made, will the old saves still be compatible with the newly patched gamefile?

 

[Kawamura]

Hmm. I'm using the R4 and I'm also having problems in shopping. Maybe it is an R4 thing...

Yes, I think .sav files should still be compatible.
