*sigh* what part of "on hold" means that the project is not going on? please don't assume that we stopped.

I heard a Korean version is also out. Maybe that could be easier to traslate? I'm really looking forward to this game translation.

If you would have payed attention to what the others wrote you would know they ARE translating from Korean to English. Since the Korean PC version had been out for some time already...

I've been working for the past week to translate this. With the help of many awesome people at romhacking.net, We've managed to get the data unpacked, and have started identifying the contents.

The fonts have been ripped, and a partial table made. Right now we CAN compress the data back, however, the way the game access's it is very strange, and will require editing the binaries to make it all work.

HOWEVER, anyone who would like to help out with the project can do so. Preferably people with experience in romhacking, or who is fluent in Japanese. I know some Japanese, and with a dictionary and time I can translate, but its slow work, and there is too much here for me to do alone.

Eventually I will be releasing all progress and source-code that has been created so far.

If you want to help, or have any inquiries, I can be reached at [email protected], or by MSN Messenger (and yahoo messenger) [email protected]

I just waned to say, no matter if the project is on hold, gets dropped part of the way through or what:

THANK YOU!!!!

Even if it were never to get finished, I'm glad to know there's people out there at least willing to consider trying their hand at translating any of the game. I abolutely adore the Princess Maker game. I've played my Princess Maker 2 game over and over again and it never gets old. I'd love to be able to play this version, too.

So good luck! And thank you again for trying your best! =)

Princess Maker is a great series, and your image hacking seems to be going really well! Did you manage to decompress the text too?

I have edited the complete script of a fan translation of one game already. If you want to do Princess Maker in English, I could edit it for you so that the text will be good. Contact me if you want to do it.

I hope, that you understand it. I don't hack the game myself.

Step the first. Creation of folders.
Create a folder where you will be kept the data connected to process and an insert of the data.
Place Rom there. Create there folders - rom_data, data and images.
Download in this folder ndstool. Put there all others programs:
http://consolgames.ru/files/other/pm4_extract.7z
http://consolgames.ru/files/other/pm4_ImageConv.7z

Step of the second. Unpack Rom.
Copy in a folder rom, name it - pm4.nds.
Create a file extract_rom.bat (pay attention to expansion - bat). Click the right button of the mouse, choose item(point) "to change", copy there the following code:
@echo off
set rom=pm4.nds
set dir=rom_data

echo Preparation...
rd /Q /S %dir% > nul
mkdir %dir% > nul
echo Extracting...
ndstool -v -x %rom% -9 %dir%\arm9.bin -7 %dir%\arm7.bin -y9 %dir%\y9.bin -y7 %dir%\y7.bin -d %dir%\data -y %dir%\overlay -t %dir%\banner.bin -h %dir%\header.bin > nul
echo Done!
pause


Start the created file.

Step the third - unpacking of game archive.
Create a file data_extract.bat, copy in it the following code:
extract rom_data\data\data.bin data
pause


Start a file.

Step the fourth - extraction of images
Create a file images_extract.bat, copy in it the following code:
ImgConv-dd data images
pause


Start a file. In a folder images will appear a picture.

-------------------------------------
All files it images folder, i translate. but many little images i can't extract from rom

Extracting it isnt the problem, I can do all that perfectly fine. Its recompressing them that gets me. If you have any source code for that it'd be much appreciated.

By the way I'm currently documenting the game's arm9 binary based on the source code that's included in the file system.
