i tried patching the rom and the patched version was only 51MB as apposed to 128MB can someone plz tell me what i did wrong
edit: are you willing to be very nice and make an ips, PLZÂ

Make sure that you are using a clean unmodified ROM. If you run it through a program such as the M3 transfer program or the EZIV client, it will not patch properly. As for making an ips, I'm afraid I can't do that. Most ips patchers don't support files over 32MB and even if I did manage to find one it the translation would require four seperate ips patches. It's far too much of a headache when xdelta works just as well.
too bad about the ips but also the rom is a cleaan rom coz i got ezv so i dont have to patch romsi tried patching the rom and the patched version was only 51MB as apposed to 128MB can someone plz tell me what i did wrong

No story. Not now not tomorrow not 3 months from now
But I have been translating this entire day something that we were saving for the very end. So it will be nice : )

First off - I can't say thanks enough times for your work. I specifically registered for that purpose.
Secondly - to any complainers - stfu. Mentioning things like "its tornado, not weak" - go back to your mom's basement.
You guys are ridiculously awesome!!
Merry Christmas!!

Good news: Surprise complete! Took about 10 hours, but I did it oO.
Bad news: Belmont is nowhere in sight to make it into a patch
I guess you will all see it tomorrow
So tomorrow, look forward to ONE HUNDRED PERCENT monsters, bosses, and non-bestiary enemies fully translated ^^

Well, while belmont is MIA, there are a few names that confuse me, and I don't know if they are just NPC names (which maaaaybe will be translated
) or new enemies. So if someone could give me an "100% Bestiary Completed" PAR code, I could test it out before we release the patch : ).

...ok guy! It seems that Raganook has been translating like a whore while I was at work. Expect a new beta within a couple of hours with all Monsters & Bosses translated and all the system messages.
You guys should have a place of honor among translators. If you people keep up your No-Lifeing (See: Unicyclopedia: Runescape: No-Lifeing) you could have the entire game, story and all, translated within a week.
But, alas, people have lives during the holidays.
(I've gotten in serious trouble before because some people can't understand sarcasm, so I'm telling you now that this is a sarcastic message)
Oh, and, the patch is going to be released ON Christmas?!?

By system messages, do you mean Main Menu Text or all the game phrases? If you mean that the game phrases are almost done, don't even bother with a beta. Just release the final patch a few days later. And I gotta say, you guys work EXTREMELY FAST!!!!!...ok guy! It seems that Raganook has been translating like a whore while I was at work.

I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer -
@
TwoSpikedHands:
Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?

@
Sicklyboy:
@TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one

@
Sicklyboy:
I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version

@
TwoSpikedHands:
@Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!

@
TwoSpikedHands:
I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
-
@
TwoSpikedHands:
I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though

@
The Real Jdbye:
@TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway -
@
The Real Jdbye:
and realistically they wouldn't
be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves -

do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?

@The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)

when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying+1
