Hello everyone.

Pikatsu has created a discord channel for everyone to join.
So if you are interested in this game/translation and you wanna talk about it, please join the channel via this link: https://discord.gg/7JnvcCK
Another thing I wanna point out is that we are still working on it (ofcourse) and we are making good progress towards the first early patch release.
So please stay tuned for a little longer.
Thank you all for the support and keep spreading the word around!
Yeeeeee!!! im excited!!! ^^

Pretty awesome project, didn't know about this.
The results of the poll disappoint me though. I played 7 in Japanese and I quite enjoyed it, shame it has so little votes.

Way cool that you guys are translating this game. Can't help sadly. However I do wonder since this would be a rom where everything is in English? How will it be for those that own the game legally? Like I own a physical copy with a JP 3DS. Would there be like a walkthrough somewhere?

Depending on how they release it really. Ideally if they release the modified romfs files you can load those over a physical game using Luma3DS' ROMFS modifier (only in nightlies as 6.6 is still latest stable) or you could use something like Smea's HANS. Alternatively you can use Decrypt9 to dump your physical cartridge and overwrite the romfs files accordingly then repack it into .cia or .3ds whichever is applicable to you although I hope it's cia because fuck gateway and sky3ds. Whatever the case, you're gonna need a modded 3DS to run modded games.

I already don't really want to go modding either of my 3DS to be honest. Why I'm hoping for a walkthrough. I know there is one on Tumblr from someone who's on the Rising Beetle forum, but I'm already way past how far that one is... And I'm stuck in the game.

There is only 1 single guide you ever need to follow and anything else can be considered absolute garbage.... Like Tumblr overall btw

This guide: https://3ds.guide

Maybe. We'll see.
Also I'd like to PM, but I am legit confused as to where I can even start that on this site.
I also see linking to Rising Beetle in your signature. I'm also on there if that helps in some way.

Click someone's name in the box on the left and then click "send pm"

I literally do not have that option.
In the meantime I found the Discord of Rising Beetle and have been helped on my way in game there. But thanks for the info and offer for help anyway.

Hey, I have been following this for a while now. Is there a way I can help out with translating the text? I understand most Japanese (some kanji still does not make sense) and I will be having quite a bit of free time soon. Sorry I cannot help tech wise.

I agree, I voted for 7 too. If I remember right, it had cameos from the original anime cast grown up. Would be an interesting entry to try next.

You could help us translating the hints. If you're still interested, please PM me :)
Thanks.

Yeah, adult Ikki works at the parts store from what I recall.

  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    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 @ 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 @ 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 @ 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 @ 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 @ 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 @ 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
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ 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 @ 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
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @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)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it

  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Samsung SD format can sometimes fix them too
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    yes looks like an faulty sd
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    @Psionic Roshambo i may try that with my dead sd cards

    It's always worth a shot
