ROM Hack Jump Ulimate Stars Translation Project

[mixinluv2u]

it looks like... tag team from JSS (old game)
I am serious.
In JSS u could use some super-attacks with 2 battlers if u have all 3 _jump_ komas
Here is some info from game faqs: http://www.gamefaqs.com/portable/ds/file/925599/42860

In order to do any tag-team attack, you must have A) 2 battle komas (4-7 squares
in size), and B) the Friendship, Effort, and Victory help komas

In JUS there are NOT tag-teams.

that kind of make sense. however, is it possible that some characters have a special ability that allows for the tag team attack (Super Tag) to happen when all 3 types of help komas are present?

wow im tired.. i just did like 2-3 hour of translating

DS community loves you

Just thought I would post to say although I have not been posting much in the topic I am still reading and I find this discussion of late very interesting.

Alas we are down to subtle nuances and anime/manga discussion which leaves what little Japanese I have standing.

No
There arent even Friendship, Effort, and Victory help komas in JUS.

why thank you

 

[smallkidd]

hey how is it possible for you to translate this? are the hex not specialy encoded for this game? because i tried hexxing a backup for it's word datebase but had no luck because either the words are generated or encypted with different ascii style.

 

[FAST6191]

The text is encoded in shiftJIS like a good portion of other Japanese games: http://www.rikai.com/library/kanjitables/k...odes.sjis.shtml

I did a better dump later in this thread but here is the first one I made:

I guess those lines should be deleted then??

 

[ngiahz]

to add to the vegeta debate, if you look at the koma list, none of his forms are called super saiyan. they are all listed as super vegeta instead. im sure why they didn't say super saiyan, but maybe we can just leave it as they have it and call all of them super vegeta. (maybe super saiyan vegeta was too long for the menu?)

VERY NICE

hows about a (U) game? how does one text dump using a program?

 

[Gene98]

mb. I dont know jap, i'm only trying to help with game-system questions.
btw may be it's something like models from beta-test in WC3? Developers just 'forgot' to delite not-used materials?

 

[FAST6191]

There are no dump text programs with the possible exception of kenghots FF3 one and deufeufeu's phoenix wright stuff:

I think there is some stuff for pokemon as well.

US/EU games can use all manner of encoding, ASCII/unicode and the konami table (where all the lower case letters actually line up with the upper case ASCII) get a good bit of usage though.

Other than that you find the table the same way as every other system: find the text (nice/often fairly simple as DS roms tend to use a well documented file system or a simple abstraction on top of that with the files having obvious names).
Luckily emulation is pretty good which makes the next few steps easier.
Once text is located and assuming the font is not obvious (some games have the font in a
ASM hack/tracing. Harder than the following methods but it works all the time if done properly. Can also be used on compressed text that you can not easily decompress (most stuff is LZ compressed on the DS however).
A relative search can be performed (in most "text codecs" a comes 1 value before b) so you can search for that). Not all fonts are relative though (or contain dual tile encodings) and some are 16 bit with some relative searchers have problems with.
Corruption: alter a value and see what appears
Tied to corruption is brute force where every value is tested to see what comes up.

This is somewhat off topic though so can I suggest a new thread if you want to continue this discussion in any depth (not to mention it may benefit someone else).

 

[smallkidd]

whoops I didn't want to be off topic sorry, but I think I have the info i need. darn the encoding trickery!! i can't belive with the hacking exp I have I can't find some dumb text. thanks and to be on topic I would like to thank people for translating this game even though I havn't played it, but I will once the translation is complete!

You can see by the M that 6 korma is majin vegeta.

In response, Vegeta did go USSj during his training with trunks in the time chamber, they both emerged with a the capacity to increase their body mass during SSj form without entering SSj2. Although some people consider the state vegeta enteretd to be of less body mass then trunks you can see in the link below that it is still significant.

Here is a picture of Vegeta in this form:
http://ssjpower.net/ssj/ussj.jpg

Seeing as there is no obvious difference in the size of Vegeta's body in the image shown:
http://sdb.drshnaps.com/sheets/Media/Other.../JUS/Vegeta.png

I think it's safe to say that Super Vegeta is merely Super Sayin Vegeta.

I got my text working on my computer so i'm going to start translating with the help of Kanji Sono Mama Rakubiki Jiten for my DS.

 

[Gene98]

there is 1 problem... and balck-haired, and blond vegetas have 1 name in jus. Unlike goku/vegetto

You guys don't know how happy I am to see the thread so alive with pictures, people switching on their consoles looking for stuff... this is really helping (and also goes to show how picky people are when it comes to the names of the different Saiya-jin stages. BTW, I'm using the Saiya-jin form over Super-Saiyan. I also grew up calling them Supersayian when not Super Warrior as they were called in the Spanish sub, but I think we should respect original names when possible.

I don't know if I'll be able to post much during the weekend, but I'd like us to get to a conssensuous before Monday so the file can be given the OK.
This is what we have so far:

178. ?? Goku
179. ??????? Goku (Saiya-jin)
180. ???? Vegito
181. ???? Vegeta
182. ????? Vegeta (Saiya-jin)
183. ??????? Gohan (Saiya-jin)
184. ???????? Gohan (Saiya-jin 2)
185. ????? Gotenks
186. ?????? Gotenks (Saiya-jin)

Let's see if we can figure the names out.

i like it like that

 

[Crescent]

lol

wouldnt it be funny if this was all a hoax?
im pretty sure it isnt but still
alot of people would be pretty mad

 

[beautifulbeast]

@bouzekry It's not only the nomenclature, but I'm asking if those are the real names. It's not 100% clear if it should be Vegeta (Saiya-jin) or Majin-Vegeta or even Super-Vegeta, and the same thing for the others.

 

[Gene98]

cant post images, so link:

0)All names in right part of screen are battle-names of 4-8komas. Battle names are in eng, so i dunno they are best from the start...
1)Goku8 does NOT have name * Goku. His name is different and his in-battle name (in-battle names are in eng) is "Vegetto"
2)Goku6-7 have name "* Goku", not "Goku (*)"!!! NOT in brackets
3)same about Vegeta5&6
4)It's "* Gohan" and "* 2 Gohan", not "Gohan (*)" and "Gohan (* 2)
5)Same about GOtenks

PS
srr for paint-art ^^
