ROM Hack It's a Wonderful World

[Grimalkin]

when i press Patch button on this patcher, it says that there is a null exception that is not handled. is it normal? i was using a clean rom, no trim.

Make sure there are no spaces in the rom name.

"Subarashiki kono sekai".nds = Bad
"Subarashiki".nds = good

Will this be a worthwhile project knowing that SE has announced this for Europe (ie. in English)? Not saying all your effort has been a waste or anything :S

It was posted on IGN recently.

i patched it finally (donno why it worked, it used to give me errors all the time about a Nil.... unhandled exception but suddenly worked), and it generated a 12mg file called SUBARASHIKI.nds, what is that? isnt the original file that i dragged there, patched?

EDIT: i even tried doing nothing with my computer and leave the patcher to do its job, still no luck, it produces roms with different sizes everytime, varying from 8mg to 65mg.

what i have to do?

A official translation is very often different then a fan-translation. Lots of people hate it when a Japanese game (And not just japanese language, but also located in Japan) is TOTALLY being translated. So that Tokyo becomes New York and stuff..

this patching is driving me crazy.

Make sure not only that the directory you're patching in has no spaces, but the file name has no spaces either.

 

[test84]

i checked that already, there is no space there.

EDIT:
i even tried copying them to ROOT of my drives, no luck.
at morning, it used to make small roms but now it doesnt produce anything.

i even tried replacing the ndstool with my own version, no hope.

i think the problem is when it tries to open the file, after it copies to the directory.

its strange, whenever i try to move the whole directory of this patcher and the rom inside of it, my computer goes to freeze and gets back about 4mins later, same thing happened with CoD4 rom file, whenever i tried to copy it on my G6, it would freeze like 5min.

there is a process called SYSTEM (with no extension) that consumes half of my cpu power in those periods of freezings and it belongs to group of system. is that a malware or what?

Did you even read the Press release, I posted right on the page. I clearly says it's being set in Shibuya still. (And if it's being translated for Europe, then It wouldn't have been in New York either.)

I'll Quote it for Reeducation purposeses.

QUOTE(Cbajd5 @ Dec 5 2007, 03:10 PM)"London (5th December 2007) – Square Enix Ltd., the publisher of Square Enix® interactive entertainment products in Europe and other PAL territories, today announces that THE WORLD ENDS WITH YOU™, an exciting new title from the makers of KINGDOM HEARTS, will be released exclusively on the Nintendo DS™ handheld system across all PAL territories in spring 2008.

Previously known as Subarashiki Kono Sekai™ on its release in Japan. THE WORLD ENDS WITH YOU is an innovative new title from Square Enix that fully utilizes the capabilities of the Nintendo DS, and takes major influence from Japan’s modern day culture including its people, music, clothes, food and design.

Set in Tokyo’s trendiest district, the story begins with the lead character Neku waking up to find a phone message stating he has only 7 days before he will cease to exist. Only with the coolest fashions, friends and fighting skills can Neku restore hope to the city’s population and prevent being stricken from existence altogether!


John Yamamoto, president and chief executive officer of Square Enix Ltd. comments, “Square Enix has traditionally been associated with RPG’s set in fantasy lands, but THE WORLD ENDS WITH YOU is our first ever game to be set in modern times and real-life locations. The use of the Nintendo DS functionality is second to none. We believe gamers of all ages and abilities will be able to enjoy all that THE WORLD ENDS WITH YOU has to offer.”

About THE WORLD ENDS WITH YOU

Story
The story begins as our hero, Neku, wakes up amidst the hustle and bustle of Shibuya, Tokyo. Confused and disoriented, he receives a message on his phone warning him that he will cease to exist unless he completes a certain mission. With his life seemingly on the line, Neku plunges into the back streets of the urban labyrinth…

Features
- Experience the urban grit and neon of the coolest district in Tokyo with a distinctive, high quality style of in-game artwork

- Use fantastic psychic powers to read the thoughts of the population, put words into people’s minds, and move objects to help you progress in your adventure!
- Immerse yourself in an amazing audio soundtrack featuring a diverse fusion of bleeding-edge hip-hop, rock, and techno
- A tale of friendship, hope and overcoming your challenges, creatively told with a modern edge
- Shop till you drop! Keep abreast of the latest Trends to stay one step ahead of the fashion scene and your enemies. Trade items with friends using Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection too
- Action-packed minigame fun that can be enjoyed by up to four players via DS Wireless Play!
- Engage the Chance Encounter mode via DS Wireless Play to share data with fellow game users you bump into in the real world"

Even if it only mentions Europe, if the title changes in the next Nintendo Power, then I guess it could be a best guess to say i would come to America as well. (But still nothing in the Latest, aside from it being listed under the original title with TBA after it.)

And because he has Amnesia and Such, they are going to have the players learn about it as he is being re intoduced to it. And they wouldn't change it to New York, too much editing. Also there's going to be Wi-Fi too. (Underlined and Bold Stuff.)

The translation will continue regardless, all of the storyline will be done by March, then menus and graphics will take up the remainder of the time for a release close to or on the date of the Europian launch.

Cool, was hoping it would continue.

TAKE THAT SQUARE ENIX, RELEASING IT IN EUROPE FIRST LIKE NINTENDO DID WITH THAT TINGLE GAME!

(But no offense to Europe of course. =D)

 

[Twiffles]

Europe is getting it because the movie name "It's a Wonderful World" was licensed ONLY in America.

So now that it will be translated, what will happen to the project? :\

I doubt that anyone cares whether it comes to Europe first, I bet we're all going to pirate it anyway >.>;

You know... being pirates and all...

ARRRR MATEY!

I was under the impression that they always knew there was going to be an official translation, but they decided to translate it themselves because of the long wait and to prevent any butchering of the plot in a localized version.
