When the Japanese version of Emerald and Fire Red came out, I wasted no time and made myself an ugly hack of each game to make them more playable. What did I do? Well, for those games I primarily knew the story, so I figured I could play without
That. However, I would constantly forget what Japanese name for what Pokemon/attack/item I needed. As such, I set out to translate these bases pieces to make the game more enjoyable for myself.
And once again, I have done so with Platinum. However, hacking a DS game has proven itself to be more difficult than GBA games. Extracting the text was a chore in itself, but it’s still encrypted.
If anyone has a way to decrypt the text, I’d like it if they shared some resources with me. At the moment, I am comparing the encrypted files of the English Pearl to the Japanese Platinum. If it’s a match, I splice the code via Hex and have some things translated.
As stated above, I’d like to have Pokemon Names, Items, and Attacks translated. However, comparing encrypted files is rather slow as I’m translating more than I want/need to because I’m not sure where to look.
I did manage to translate the items, attacks, and some of the menus, though.
