[Request]Lord of Apocalypse Translation Patch Thread

Just a thought but isn't the PSP game in English?

Maybe you can extract the script from that and port it to the Vita version.

 

I gave it a look a few years ago... was a dead end for me, but I hope you'll be luckier!

Have you tried looking for extraction methods for other PSP/Vita and Square Enix games? I think I heard .RZL files are supposed to be plain text...
I really don't want to get your hopes down, but you do realize that once you've extracted the data and you're able to properly read it, you'll have to be able to modify it and then pack it back in the game?
Keep us informed anyway! I'll be glad to help as much as I can!
I'm trying to keep translating the game's menus ans such on http://lordofapocalypse.esy.es/ & http://lordofapocalypse.host22.com/ (same website, just two differente links).

Also preparing a little surprise for PPSSPP users

Indeed I got some screenshots from the Vita version, but sometimes, it's just better to create the texture from scratch (even though I'm not an expert in graphism/drawing, so, it might look odd from time to time...).

The only issues with what PPSSPP is offering through customizable textures is that you can only have the game on PC or Android (since you need the emulator to load external textures, It would have been great to be able to do that on the PSP/Vita) AND that I cannot do any complicated translation because of katakana, hiragana and kanji texture files being split between chars... So, it might not be that useful for people who are not used to reading translated katakanas or simply people who don't speak english.

But friends of mine who have been testing the custom textures have been reporting positively so far, so... we'll see!

 

extracting files if 1/4 of the problem, you still need a way to repack them back and 1/2 of the problem is translator lols

 

Could you attach (or upload and post link) said .MES file? Do you have any other file that could contain text (.raw .rzl) that you could provide us? I'd be glad to give it another look.

I managed to find some of the texture files with the Japanese and English chars in the .Iso through an hexadecimal editor, though it's absolutely not what we're looking for... We want the parts that point to those files so as to change them and point to the English file in order to try to translate it. But we have almost no mean to know what hexadecimal value points to which char...

 

good luck, cheers for you

 

Okay, so... I didn't manage to find anything interesting within the .RZL file...

However, if anyone wants to check out the PPSSPP HD/Translation stuff I've done so far, here's the link:
