ROM Hack Ragnarok DS - English Translation Project

[m_alencar]

Well, I know the English official version has been released, but I've been playing with the patched version for a while now, and can't use my jap save on the eng version, so I was wondering if you guys would, now that the translation is complete, also complete your patch. I've talked to a couple of friends who also own the patched version and none of us would like to lose our saves.

So, puh-lease, would you complete your patch?

Congratz on making the most absurd request I've seen today.

 

[m_alencar]

Wouldn't hurt to try, would it? But seriously, if anyone would complete the patch or somehow teach me how to, please do.

 

[Wehttam]

Completing this patch would be a colossal waste of time. Just start over, or live with it as is.

 

[nitrostemp]

or try to play the jap save with the usa game and seek if you fail

 

[_Chaz_]

or download the English version...

 

[Shabang21]

Exactly, seeing as it's been released on usenet.

 

[Dangy]

I wanna thank all the people that worked on this.

The translation won't be finished... but what you could do is:
1). Unpack the (U) ROM with DSBuff
2). Copy the files that contain text
3). Delete the (U) ROM files
4). Unpack the (J) ROM (Preferably the patched one)
5). Copy the (U)'s text files over the (J) text files
6). Pack the (J) ROM with DSBuff


I'm NOT sure if this will work... it's VERY possible that the files won't be compatible with eachother.

well in some games something like that worked fine , if i may remind you that the suikoden game was undubed this way , by exchanging the text files in the jp versio and it worked so dont lose youre hope maybe it will work for this game as well . oh right also on ds-scene there are guys that know how to rehack the jp save to work for the us version , as i know its possible you should go there and ask or do it here maybe someone will help you .

That recalls me some tricks with EXE 5 DS...ah old times...
Yes save somehow doesn't work...strange because many games worked that way
It's only guess but probably we would have to "hack" save for names of characters and check/change for japan symbols existing and if so, change them to ASCII letters ("normal" ones

)
It's only a guess once again

 

[shineek]

well yeah it would be something like this , or even easier i saw that the saves has the game ID in it , so its maybe a simple change of the game ID , but its just a wild guess .

 

[m_alencar]

All right, guys. I've officially given up on my old save and just started a new one. I've decided to make some changes but I guess everything I've got in the jap file is in the game and I'll just find a way to get them again, as annoying as that may be. Thanks for the help, anyway.

 

[iSubaru]

shineek - but sometimes saves are working just by copy and rename...to be honest that is first time that method didn't worked
But probably that ID would be resolve or one of parts for final resolve
