I don't know source code. (In Russian site i find that: "The table of displacement is stored(kept) in arm9.bin (an executed file arm9) to the address 0x9143C, and also lays in an initial kind in a file pack_data.c.")
Can you put my translation images to the rom?

I think i have recompression working although it takes FOREVER because of how many files there are and how i've got this currently coded.

EDIT: Apparently its not working

Hi, I registered in the forum because I found out about this translation project. However there seems to be no updates for awhile now so I am wondering is the translation still on going?

I played Princess Maker 2 and I am a fan of it. I wish I can play the later version of Princess Maker, but sadly no English translation for any of them. I want to thank anyone who is doing the translation and I hope the translation get finished.

I don't believe a translation project was started. People tried but it never went anywhere.

I don't plan on translating this game until the beginning of next year, maybe someone else will do it first.

That was people giving it a try, I don't think a proper team was made.

Awwwww, my hopes are now crushed. Thanks for the info anyway.

Any kind soul would want to start the translation project for this? There definitely a community for Princess Maker games, if small.

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.

Sorry for bump. Any progress on re-compression tool?

    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
