ROM Hack Is it possible to edit Phoenix Wright: Trilogy text files?

cheuble · Oct 6, 2016

I'm currently trying to translate the game, but it would require editing the text files. When I extract RomFS, I only get a pack.dat file, a pack.inc and a sound folder. I already saw there was a tool, but it seems you can only extract images, and you can't rebuild the pack.dat. Anyone know if there's a way?

Unfortunately, it's all we have for now.

Seems we don't even know where the dialogues files are XD

edit: by translating, you mean copy past the (bad) DS translation?
Maybe you can fix spelling errors...?
Or you will translate it directly from japanese?? <3

Well, it seems like this project will not see the light of the day :hateit:

I would have based my translation on the french one (names, places), but mainly use the English one as a base. Unfortunately, I don't know Japanese. This was for my brother who's still too young to understand English. And yes, the french translation is shit

well filename from pack.dat and pack.inc are stored on exefs.bin, i just found them on some section. and i just got bffnt string on it, maybe is used sdk tool for generate font file? i not sure since some bch file is named font data too.

and for message file is stored on data1/mes_all.bin , data2/mes_all.bin , data3/mes_all.bin , data1 for PW1, data2 for PW2 and data3 for PW3. i can't tell is an image or msg file, since i only inspecting on exefs.

I not sure is on plain sight, maybe compressed or encrypted or not. but i sure is used UTF-8, based of my inspection using IDA on a route function.
