ROM Hack Golden Sun English Conversion

[Kiekoes]

By the way, I seriously believed Golden Sun would be much more popular on this forum (and others, for that matter). Guess it still can't win from all the 10-year old Poké-kids swarming all over the place lol.

I lol'd.

Yeah. Meant Topic/Thread Creator.

Still waiting for a working AP patch. Not that I can't wait for the US release, because I will actually buy that one and not only YAR YAR it.

But yeah, wanted to check the game a little bit.

I needed no AP patch to play it
I updated my akaio to 1.8.1 and when i tried to play it it worked. No AP patch required here.

@all the people trying the patch:
if you can’t make it work... don’t bother at all!
it has almost nothing translated (only a few menu buttons)
I made this patch to prove that the multiple language data of the rom is very limited, so It´s impossible to make a CONVERSION (because there is no language files in the rom!).

If you read the topic name it´s says "Conversion" not "Translation"


EDIT: try this one http://www.mediafire.com/?sb3q24qb3sng29b

Or... people who can partly understand Japanese can attempt to play it...

BTW, as for the intro, it's something along these lines...
I tried to understand it, but the text was scrolling too fast for me...

Something about magic unleashing unto the world and a message from the ancients. There there was some eruption, and a war broke out, and some lawmaking happened, and then alchemy came to be. But then it was destroyed. Then it just became one big fight for survival and the law of the jungle took over. But there were some charged with protecting the sacred temple.

^Don't quote me on that... I just made it up based on the words I had time to copy down... I'm far too lazy at the moment to re-go through the intro, but I think that kinda sums it up.

I think the game has the intro translated as well. (I've read only a few lines of the file; I didn't want to be spoiled just in case it was not the intro) It's the file msg_field.dat1 (with Japanese version msg_field.dat), located in the data/msg folder. Note that of all other text/dialogue files in the folder, only that file has an English counterpart.
(If you want to read the data, decompress the file(s) with this. All text is stored in 16bits-unicode.)

Golden Sun - Dark Dawn (Spanish Patch v2)


Thanks to Barubary I realized that there is some text translated in the rom. I believe that all of the game text is inside the msg_field.dat file. The funny thing is when I opened the english version of this file I found this:

@darkspirit456
So you know how you said when you tried replacing all the files in the msg directory and your saved game wouldn't load up. Well, if you look in the other .dat1 files there is nothing in them which causes the game to freeze. So it looks like they didn't want to give us all the text
