ROM Hack Translation Medarot 9

[roks7074]

I'm guessing the story is not complete with this game?

The story is basically fully translated but only quality checked until where Main joins you. The latest release is here https://github.com/roks70/Medabots9-Translations/releases 1.002 has the story and tutorials quality checked until beginning of chapter 4 (a little after Main joins).

Please play and let me know if I missed anywhere. Best done on emulator. If you want to recompile the files, you'll have to use HackingToolkit9DS.exe to recompile the files and form the .cia again.

Edit: Yes, got my github back!

Do you have a tutorial on how to recompile etc? I'd really want to play this... Thank you so much btw!! Nice work!

Let me see about recompile steps.

Hey y'all! Main story lines have been quality checked (enough haha. There were some possible paths I didn't actually see but did my best to QC to make sense) https://github.com/roks70/Medabots9-Translations/releases so all chapters are available!

I think the whole story line make sense for the most part. I still need to go through the flavor text (~5000 lines lol but that's not so bad).

If you recompile you should be able to use on 3DS hardware.

I'm followed steps from https://gbatemp.net/threads/tutorial-how-to-decrypt-extract-rebuild-3ds-cia-cxi-files.383055/ fyi.

1. download HackingToolkit9DS (in PackEnglishV12.rar) from https://github.com/Asia81/HackingToolkit9DS/releases/tag/12
2. download the Medabots9.cia from somewhere
3. Extract PackEnglishV12.rar and run SetupUS.exe
4. Put the .cia file together in the same folder as HackingToolkit9DS.exe
5. Run HackingToolkit9DS.exe
6. Extract the .cia files by using the command: CE
   1. Name of the .cia file, no extensions e.g. Medabots9
7. You'll see folders like ExtractedExeFS and ExtractedRomFS
8. Replace these original files with the translated files (from Medabots9-Translations)
9. Recompile using command: CR
   1. Name of the newly built file e.g. Medabots9mod
   2. HackingToolkit9DS will append with .cia to whatever name you give
   3. It should not be instant, if it is instantly "done" then you probably forgot to run SetupUs.exe

These files work for me on emulator. If it doesn't work, I'm sorry I have no idea which one could be causing the issue unless there's some kind of error pointing to a specific file or something.

Edit: Just found out the code.bin and banner file in the exefs folder was causing issues for the KBT version, you don't need those anyway so I've removed them. When you recompile with the github files it should work now.

Hello!
I am a bit confused about the installation/patching in the 3DS. As I understand it, after I install the game in the 3DS I only need to enable patching via menu.

However, I am confused about the next steps:
-----------------------
Make sure game patching is enabled in your luma settings (hold Select on boot).

• (Extra Notes) LumaFS will only work for the base game files.
• Update files need to be installed with the update cia (not tested).

--------------------------
enable patching in your luma settings < This I know, but everything after that I don't know. lol
What does it refer to by 'game base files' and what does it mean by updating cia? Is this only for the emulator?

Thank you for sharing the steps. Today I had some free time so I read through it and followed all the steps. I can confirm it works in the 3DS. I Also went ahead, and I also added the female protag patch. I might submit both TL and TL+FProtag versions to the hshop if that is okay

I'm glad it's working on 3DS for you! Yes, go for it. I'm still quality checking the flavor text still but feel free to use wherever.

 

[roks7074]

What's up y'all? https://github.com/roks70/Medabots9-Translations/releases v1.005 has all the story lines quality checked! Enjoy!

What version is this translated from? Also, is it just the story that is translated or is the side quests translated as well?

It's translated for both Kabuto and Kuwagata. Yes, side quests are translated also. All flavor text has been translated now.

Man! it actually works in 3DS, thanks for your effort!

Question: Should I combine your translation with the other one in the main post? Or is better to keep only yours?

Question: Should I combine your translation with the other one in the main post? Or is better to keep only yours?

It is better to use only mine since I incorporated theirs already and I updated their files too.

Someone did use the female protagonist plus my files so that seems to be working if you wanted to combine that.

Well I for one thank you for your time and dedication for the translation. Hopefully someone will post the translated versions to hshop for those who cannot access a computer.

I am going crazy trying to patch the 3ds version with the new translation I always get error while using fbi, could someone that did it already make a guide step by step ?

Edit: already solved with some help

Hi, I've been playing the translated ROM, but I noticed that many menus remain in Japanese, unlike the Sotaeko version. However, I also noticed a folder called "Docs" containing most of the translated banners, which I assume are from Sotaeko's version, along with a compressed file called "Spt-org". Should I extract it and add it to a folder?

Hello again. I have been enjoying this game a lot but now it seems I have become stuck. After you accept the quest “Mine entrance” I triggers the first scene on the hill. But now it stays stuck on “continue up the stone/log staircase up the hill” and if I climb to the top nothing happens.
I have visited every sight and just am completely stuck it seems.


Edit:
Nevermind it seems you need to hug the wals of the paths tightly cause you need to trigger it in a specific place.

Where is it exactly?

Found out the place, its here
Took forever to find

After that, the Game Crashed here, and cant resume whatsoever. I wonder why....
It's after our medabot is interviewed after the test

The crash is caused by no text line after that I think. If I click continue, the game will just freeze there with the bgm playing

So the third image is the problematic line. I skipped the part by loading my save on an unpatched rom, and passing the scene

Very good job. The game seems playable now. I could provide you -if you want- the translated files of the param folder especially the medabot parts, medals and attacks since i translated them a long time ago using the officia sources.

That's the only missing part of the translation, it would be amazing to have it to complete it
