Hacking Final Fantasy Type-0 RomHacking

[SkyBladeCloud]

Looks like a good workaround for PPSSPP, good find!. As for the PSP I'll have to try if there is no performance impact (though we all know impatient fans would be playing anyway ^^). Still, this is only for the merged, untranslated ISO. Since we have to edit videos as part of the translation project, the final CSO might still over 2GB, (little) time will tell.

if we already have a merged iso then all we would need to if just install the patch correct and we would need something like umd gen to do it?

Well, here's hoping! I'm sure we'll get it all figured out so anyone on any PSP medium will be able to enjoy the game we've waited years to play. And I'm sure I speak for everyone when I say that we appreciate all the time and effort, and keep up the amazing work!

Just found out that using https://sites.google.com/site/theleecherman/cisomulticompressor to compress the game to 1.89GB .cso seems to make the videos play with no problem on ppsspp. Try it out! Sky, do you foresee any issues using this method?

Zyphr's my new hero!

Hello everyone.

As a member of the PPSSPP dev/tester team, I'm glad to announce that we've fixed the loading issue that PPSSPP previously had with the merged iso. A pull request (https://github.com/hrydgard/ppsspp/pull/5194) has been opened for the fix, and once the fix is merged into the main PPSSPP repository, all future builds of the emulator will have the ability to properly load isos/csos of sizes bigger than 2GB (of any size really).

Even if the future release of the translation patch pushes the cso beyond 2GB again, it shouldn't cause a problem since the emulator is now good to go for isos/csos of any size.

Thanks to the lead dev [Unknown] for helping to concoct the fix itself, I just did the testing.

My fame was short lived... lmao Awesome work, was hoping the ppsspp devs would get this going! You guys rock!

No more weekly updates. Take a look at Sky's blog

Sky, I was sent this plugin that I think will bypass the use of the inferno plugin on Vita.

I haven't tested it yet, but anyone else is free to do so.

Saw that on the project state.

They are translating all of the main stuff first. When they are done, they will edit the videos, test it, and if everything looks good, it will be released. Patience is a virtue.

The videos aren't THAT much to do, at least not in comparison to the speed with which they achieved translating the main scenario.

 

[LoyalZero1]

And now, a funny distraction while we wait...

 

[blackfire219]

Video editing is the last priority of the team, because it also takes time to do it, just like translating the scenario, etc.

Square Enix really prepared for this possible fan translation in the first place, so SE embedded the texts to the pre-rendered videos to prevent easy editing and replacing. Nice tactic!

So they foresaw this day >

-_- Umm... No.
Videos in videogames go back to 1984.
The subtitles are *not* hardsubbed on the video. In fact, Sky modified those as the very first thing translated in his preview videos.
The text inside the video that's not subs is what's needing editing. Said editing is possible for Sky, but he wants to not lower the quality as much as he can.

It's not a plot to prevent fan-translations, they just use custom formats instead of avi/png/txt files. Custom formats need either reverse engineering (what Sky is doing) or the source code and tools from the developers themselves. Do you expect a company to give you trade secrets on a golden plate? Of course no.
Is it really a plot to prevent fan-translations? Not necessarily.
Fan-translations are a form of reverse engineering. It's a part of the process.

That video graphical text, and secondary text, are a very small part compared to the huge main script, hence why the main script was done first.

 

[blackfire219]

You got a point there. Without reverse-engineering process, fan translation is impossible.
