Just for the 10 people I'm hoping it's Summon Night for the DS. I'd be totally down on that.
Tears crown? The one that was abandoned years ago? I remember that it had like a few minutes of gameplay translated but the rest was unfinished. Man, i dont want to get my hopes up since ive been wanting to play that for years now.

It's still ongoing (technically).Blazer has just dissapeared, I might send him a message later. I was talking about the first and /or second game. It got a remake on the DS.

Once I get done with my ultra top secret translation release that all 10 people who read this forum will love, I might work on this. No promises, though. I'm hoping to have my current release done by September 30th.
As your avvy, Raul, Luminous arc fans are counting on you! Lead them!
Rooting for you. Good luck :)

Right now, we mostly need translators. If you can help translate, send me a pm and I''ll give you access to the files.
Ok can you private message me because I can't start conversations of my own because I'm a newbie (only joined for this thread)?

Same here. I LOVE the Luminous Arc serie, almost as much as the Rune Factory's.

The problem is that I'm really bad at japanese (can only read Katakana and Hiragana), but I would really like at least read the files of the traduction (no problem that it's not a patch, just wanna understand what they say), so I would gladily help this "Marvelous" project (sorry for the joke XD ), so if there's any mean for me to help except with the translation (mostly, I just know the story thanks to a bilingual friend), I will do my best.

Like Imogen, I'm a newbie and I also joined for this thread, so thanks to MP me ;-)

It's so great to see that people still care about this series, thought I was the only one tbh!

Same here, that's a shame that thoses two masterpieces of series aren't as popular they could be (even if Rune Factory is slightly most popular than Luminous Arc). If they would be more famous, we could have more opus... But it feels good to know good series that aren't Mainstream :D

Any news on this translation project? Did anyone fix the text invalid characters (AKA "*****") problem?

Luminous Arc 1 & 2 are by far my favorite NDS games, and I want to play the third game so bad... ( ;v; )

I'm a programmer, if I can help somehow with the project, I'd be glad to!

By the way, have you guys seen this YouTube channel? Betagammaomega
I think he's Yuukiwa-kun, the translator from long ago (I was acompanying his posts at Luminous Arc InvisionFree forum).

He seems to have solved the asterisk problem with the texts, and posted some translated scenes.
youtube<dot>com/user/Betagammaomega/videos

I don't know if he's still active, his last sent video was from January 12, 2017. Have you tried contacting him?

  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    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.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
    Karma177 @ Karma177: @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really...
