ROM Hack Ragnarok DS - English Translation Project

[twiztidsinz]

I have a hard time getting the cheats to work in R4. I dled r4cee and changed the game id of the rag cheats in the .dat, but it still doesn't allow me to see any cheats on the r4.You probably have too many cheats. The R4 is buggy in that way.
I would suggest you get YSMenu. You can get a2h's YSMenu generator here.
It just makes getting YSMenu to your R4 firmware extremely simple.

QUOTE(kartgarcia @ Feb 19 2009, 09:55 PM) HEY! I finally can use cheat in that game, but the most wanted cheat, to walk in towns, doesn't work, anybody knows why? I hold L before go to a town, I tried to get out of town pressing L, but nothing happens...u.u'

To be honest.. I have absolutely no clue.
Many cheats will not work with the English patch because the memory addresses change and in fact can even cause crashes and instabilities.
However, even with the original ROM, I cannot get the Walk In Town cheats to work. the person who wrote it will have to fix it for the original and the translated version when the patch is complete.

Wanna see something even more exciting?

Again, thanks to Darth's help, we finally found the danged buttons! and after a night of failures, I got one to change

(though I suppose the real exciting part is that I also found a TON of text... including names and what looks exactly like the Log Window dialog. No Promises though, this is a bear to edit)

Hi,

I wanted to contribute on the translation of this wonderful game. But the only thing that I can do is translate the japanese words/sentences to english with correct grammars and stuffs. As I am only new to the NDS scene. If you could send me some scripts or anything that needs to be translated, just send it to me via pm and i'll send all the things that I have translated. I'll leave the editing of the rom and applying of the translations to you guys.

Hope that I could help and consider this offer. I really would like to play this game in english as I am a huge fan of Ragnarok Online here in the philippines.

Thanks.

I'll get some stuff together and send you a PM with a link in a little bit.
Thanks in advance for the help.

I have already received the files and would say that I am currently done with 10 text files completely translated to proper english. I will inform you later about it.

Thanks.

Wow, really? You've already translated 10 files? o-o That's pretty damn good! I'll be editing some more when I get home today, I've only gone through like 2 rows of files.

Slacker.

Just kidding

Every bit helps and I'm grateful for everyone's effort.

Just ran some few translations on those first 10 files alphabetically. Just having trouble with names.

I will be sending you the files on every 20 files translated. I know they are not 100% perfect english, well, atleast I tried.

Currently I am double checking on those files.

Second page there has all of the names translated.

No problem

Artlan, War and myself have to go over the files anyway to fix the formatting and we'll clean up the translation so don't stress yourself too much.
(I included War and Artlan because I dont want to sound like I'm trying to steal credit

but it will most likely be me as Artlan is fixing up the Arm9 and War is going over the files from the start.)

I'll make sure you get added to the contributor's list Skanob.

 

[War]

You're right, I have been slacking lately... I hope I can do a row or two more today.

 

[twiztidsinz]

New patch is up... Should fix the problem with the game crashing before Glast Heim.
I cannot test this as I lost my save file... so unless someone will send me one I have no clue.

Font file is fixed, this solves most of the issues with N a m e s being spaced out (except for the very top).
Also, Ales and Sierra's names should / may / possibly show in English as default now. (again, not sure.. didn't test this yet.)
Thanks to Artlan for those fixes.

 

[War]

Also, I'd appreciate it if someone can start a new game and let me know if it crashes at all. I edited the script up to the second dungeon and added some extra text windows, and I just want to make sure it all works fine. Thanks!

It's fine.. I've started about 5 times since overwriting my good save.

 

[shapeshifter]

btw is the item order in the inventory supposed to depend on the japanese "alphabetical" order, will stuff be sorted alphabetically in english at some point?

 

[kartgarcia]

That ruins with my plan of walk in towns U.U'...
Hmmm...Looks very good, thank for everyone that's in this project, letting me play this game as fast as possible.

 

[kartgarcia]

EDIT button is a mess...And just to confirm, did someone worked in Page 13 fifth quest? The one with the Old Lady in Lost Woods gate?

 

[twiztidsinz]

Herbs (Red, Yellow, White, Blue), Potions (Red, Yellow, White, Blue), etc
Weapons based on Type (dagger, sword, spear, axe, etc) sorted by Attack
Armor sorted by slot and Defense (I believe).

Highly -HIGHLY- doubt we will even consider changing it.

What edit button?
Can you possibly get a screen shot for me?

And yes. I went over the quest before Glast Heim.. twice actually.
But until someone provides me with a save file I cannot test it.
