ROM Hack Gundam 00 Translation Project

[amtt]

i know ill be able to translate some basic stuff ( names, locations, etc ) so that'll be good

 

[sa1amandra]

Translating what the crew says before and after every mission is point less. Best you translate
-Menu
-Controls Menu
-Briefing Menu
-Tatical Support discriptions
-Mission Objectives
-Pause Menu
(optional) Gunpla Navi

When your done, you should translate a SD Gundam G-Generation series, or the up commming Emblem of Gundam (rumors say it is half english, from the trailer and some sources.)

I registered on the forum and im learning japanese fairly quickly so i'll see if I can help where possible.

 

[RaiDesu]

Personally, I can play it as it is. The reading is fairly lax as well, just waiting for someone to get me the decrypted files in human readable format. The interface terms are fairly common, if you play many Japanese games, and the voiced scenes as you said, are pointless for translation. Their very easy to understand for someone who dedicates a little time.

Of course, then there's the dialog within the missions.

I was creating a wiki and when it asked me to make an account it said my email was already in use and that is impossible.

 

[monaug5]

Hmm who else could create a wiki.

 

[Twiffles]

Just make one: http://pbwiki.com/

WRONG. The menus and stuff are easy pie, it's all in english anyways, just quit being lazy and look at the katakana chart on wiki.

now, as for the between mission dialogue...that's hard, not to mention essential, and it's 3/4 kanji, which is just about alien to me (and the rest of us).

so basically, i'm saying you're going about this backwards.

 

[RaiDesu]

Not exactly Alien, but much of the kanji I see are beyond my knowledge. Remember, there's 2000+ of them.

 

[DarkSpace]

I hope that this will succeed, I like this game, but a translation for certain areas, such as a menu would help. The kanji is a lot though, so no pressure.

 

[Dylan]

so has anyone made a start on this?

 

[Dylan]

just created a wiki then. waiting for confirmation email then ill post it

 

[RaiDesu]

Please don't double post. As you see, we already have a temporary forum and a server, we are just waiting for our rom hacker to get the scripts. If you know how to rom hack, you may assist in this endeavor.

 

[Normmatt]

getting the scripts is fairly easy, i just can't workout the pointer format of the archive the texts are in, which means we can't reinsert them at the moment. I could go through and dump them out fairly easily but as of this moment i cant reinsert them, well without constraining to the original text sizes :S

 

[RaiDesu]

That would work, as we need at least some progress. We can figure things out later, when they truly need to be inserted.

 

[tajio]

will you need a strong computer to rom hack cos my comp ain't that strong but have loads of space if i had the tools and the translation script i would try and do it

 

[RaiDesu]

Nope. You only need to be able to run the software. I could run hex editors on my old Pentium 3 700MHz, if that counts. However, the scripts shouldn't consume too much space beyond the size of the game itself, really.

 

[Kawo]

This project is still alive, right?

 

[monaug5]

The project is very much alive check the forum that has been posted.

 

[evilmerlin]

Are there any updates to this project? I checked the forums but there doesn't seem to have a lot of info about it.
