ROM Hack Metal Slug 7

[thedicemaster]

25MB? Here's one I made using xdelta only 4.35MBs Windows only. Macs or linux will have to use xdelta's build for their OS (but they can use the same patch files). This is change the JPN language to ENG.

Instructions included.

The smaller patch didn't work for me, the large one did.
However options, rescued prisoners and combat school remain Japanese.

Thanks anyway!

That's odd, my Combat School, outside the graphical menu text, is all English.

Same for me, seems some see the manu button in Japanese (graphic) and just assume the text has not been changed!
Not that this game needs English, but it's nice to have this much from the off!
(Who collects all the prisoners anyway? Too much like hard work for my liking, will check them out with cheat.dat when it's updated

)

It's something to do considering the game lasts like, an hour at most otherwise...well, not including the Combat School.
Always better to have an optional feature not everyone will want/need rather than not have it at all that some will wish was included.

DSLazy is pretty old software, which is why I've written a program called dsbuff. It has all the functions of dslazy, including more.

Providng the nesscary language files are placed in the rom, then yes. Roms such as Mario and Sonic and the Oplmpic Games, Advance Wars Days of Ruin/Dark Conflict and Puyo Puyo Fever 2 which have the English (and sometimes the others) language files in.

At least this means it will get a released in the US/EU.

I wonder what the diffrences are between US/GB?

...Also, it's probably possible to make an IPS patch if you hex edit these changed, so search the ROM for "jp.ntfr" replace with "eu.ntfr" for the font, then "_jp" with "_gb" for the rest. I shall try this when I download, but it's just a thought.

OK, this works, so I made an IPS patch which I'm assuming is better for people running Mac or Linux OSes, it's also tiny (64bytes). You can trim the ROM after applying this and it works fine (on my R4 at least).

Here's the link -> Metal Slug 7 Patch (it's a megaupload link)

Hope it works for y'all.

About time they released a game for DS...
Thanks!

The only problem with the scripts in the rom is they havn't added they bytes when the next sentence should begine. If the rom can't detect a 0D0A, it will just decide on it's own when to start the next line and end up with words being chopped in ha
lf like so wh
ich gets irrating. XD

But it' possible to fix that which I've started on:

Also in the infotext00_us.dat, at the end is text which seem to releate to the options settings but th text doesn't get displayed. I think it's because of the debugfont.NFTR file. I wounder what happens if that file is replaced with the EU font?

 

[Satangel]

Tnx! What a great tut!

 

[dgwillia]

how do you have a patch for the game already O_O, it doesnt come out till the 17th >_>
*edit i stand corrected O_O the rom is out already >_>

 

[thedicemaster]

it happens sometimes that shop owners get the games a few days earlier, and sometimes they dump it i think.

i hope that will happen with FFIV

You are AMAZING for making a patch so fast. O_O This game rules. =D

 

[thedicemaster]

there has been a patch for about 9 hours now...

tough 64 bytes is certainly better than 25 MB

 

[bunnybreaker]

Indeed, I'm not the first or only person to figure out how to make this English, I just thought of simpler way to do it.
