ROM Hack Fire Emblem DS translation?

[kryss]

"The Dark Dragon and the Sword of Light: Retold" sounds better though.

When you patch a rom with a new translation... does the .sav file still work?

Yes.

I'm playing the game with dstt...
No problem at all. I don't where the black screen appears, so i think i just got it to work. Im playing chapter 1. xD

This is what you need to make it work on dstt or ttds.....
Get a FIRE EMBLEM rom, make a copy of it. And patch one of this copies, cause you'll need a second CLEAN ROM.
Get NDSTOOL to unpack the roms. Separately if you want, that way you won't get confused with the two roms.
At this point you should have umm i think 6 .bin files and two folders (OVERLAY and DATA) in the two romfolders. Now you should go to where you unpacked your PATCHED rom and copy those two folders, ONLY THE TWO FOLDERS, and REPLACE the ones from the CLEAN rom with those you copied.
After that just repack the clean rom with it's new two folders from the patched one.
And there you go. A working patched Fire Emblem rom.

Hmm Where's Noitora and Nehe32?

I can imagine Noitora would be pretty busy balancing his time between both the Bleach 3rd Phantom and FEDS projects.

Anyway I like what's been done on the title screen but it should read New Dark Dragon and the Sword of Light (when correctly Romanized). One could argue that the "New" factor wouldn't apply to those outside Japan who aren't familiar with the original title but regardless this is of course a translation of the Japanese title. If NoA wish to make such changes to a localized version then they will do so on their own accord. I also think that neglecting the "New" part in the title would somehow reflect badly on the original and it's existance...if that makes sense.

Some people claim that after the prologue there was a crash in the game.

I can't insert the newly translated files in the rom because not all of the english letters are mapped into the font so I wrote a little tool so it can be easier to see which characters are mapped.
Characters that are not mapped are displayed with red.Right Click and input some text to see what it does.
LetterTool.

Why not edit the font to add the missing mappings? What format is the font file?

the font is a bin file, it's not compressed with lz77 but I can't view it with either 4bpp or 8bpp

 

[aznanimefreak1]

All of the docs are done. So we can expect the 2nd patch pretty soon after fonts and text are finished. We are trying to not rush the patch to fast to avoid any mistakes.

The "new" part refers to the title as a whole, so I think the ": Retold" idea would be a more appropriate choice than one which could be interpreted as saying that the Dark Dragon is new. Although, checking Smash Bros to see the official Nintendo title couldn't hurt.

 

[Giangsta]

is the end result going to be a 100% translated Fire emblem or just what matters for gameplay?

 

[jacenn]

Yeah, is a script translation included or is this just menus and inventory translations?

We don't know yet.If the game's gonna be released outside Japan then there's no need to translate the script but I guarantee you everything else will be translated.

Ahem. Look closer

. 2 files are compressed with lz77. It's 2bpp and it doesn't have standard 8x8 tiles-> use the pointer table in the font.

 

[Noitora]

hmm sweet.Thanks HernanZh.

Awesome, well here it is the weekend (really shortly) so i can pretty much guarantee (after taking a 2 day break) that the tutorials will be finished by tomorrow. Im still...well, unsure about the system menu and how to edit it (the menu that pops up when you press A on an empty space" :S but i really wanna get that fixed up

By "script" you mean dialogues and narrative texts? If so, how the hell did you manage to translate that fast?!

 

[aznanimefreak1]

This game is a remake haha. And theres fire emblem 1 which has been already translated also fire emblem 3 which was a remake of 1 were just missing a couple of special added chapters that weren't on the SNES versions of the game. Also the reason why this translation has been having really fast progress if because most of the data and information about the game has been released before it even came out in Japanese or was already known about. I had gathered most of the information before even starting the patch too ^.^
