The website domain name has expired.

That was the website managed by the previous translation group who mysteriously vanished.
We have a new site for the project now: http://soltriggerenglish.wordpress.com/

I'm surprised the first post hasn't been edited yet to contain up to date information. All it's doing at this point is mislead people.

Edit: Nevermind, the first post has since been updated.

Just finished with the auto-newlining, previously this meant a max of 31 chars per line as below.

Now we can put as many as we want.

Should make editing dialog a lot easier since we can now have loads of text.

The text insertion tools have been done for a while and (hopefully) this the last technical issue to sort out so now we just need the script done.

Edit: first post has now been updated

Great job.

As a side note, the translation of soul trigger lead me to Garejei's blog, and I became very interested as I scrolled though it.
Garejei, is there an English patch for muramasa, since I'd like to read that light novel as well now.

The short answer is that there's no patch at the moment (and most likely won't ever be).

Long answer:

Muramasa is complicated. JAST USA, a company known for localizing Nitro+ visual novels in the west has shown interest in it, in fact their translator has already started working on it a few years ago, but stopped midway to work on other JAST/Nitro projects, I think. Muramasa is currently in a state of limbo, however from what I understand, it is definitely not abandoned. However they'll first release other titles before returning to Muramasa, and this might take years. As such, fan translation attempts might be futile, and might even be shut down by JAST. They're sort of sitting on the rights, so fan translators can't do anything. On the bright side, when it is released, we can assume it will be an official release with a professional translation.

I did make a half summary/half translation of the entire plot of Muramasa, it's also on my blog, but of course, it's not the same as a full patch.

Ok. Thanks for the response,and keep the good work

So Muramasa is sitting on their backlog huh? Well with many projects, you can only spread your team so thin before they stop producing anything on a timely manner so it's understandable.

I'm sorry cuz I know this shows my impatience, but when might the next update on the progress for sol trigger be listed?

Most likely when we achieve another breakthrough, or surpass a certain milestone. Don't worry, we're working on this almost every day.

Minor update, I made a small alteration to the save/load system call so it shows in English on a real PSP (PPSSPP does it automatically).

Edit: Anyone know the syscall for the home button exit menu?
sceKernelRegisterExitCallback() and sceKernelExitGame() are used to actually exit the game but does anyone know what function (if any) is used for the dialog.

Hi,

since i saw the first trailer of sol trigger i think its one of the most stylish games ever (good art direction > graphics power)

unfortunately my japanese is non-existent and i cant wait for you guys to finish this project <3

if there is anything i can do to help you progress, like beta-testing or proofreading, i would love to do so


greetings from germany

Wait, what syscall did you modify? In most games I've seen it's the same in both the save/load menu and the Home button menu...

Not sure if I did it right but I changed the values for sceUtilitySavedataInitStart,
it normally sets the language value via "sw zero, 0x4(a0)" so I changed the source register

 

[SkyBladeCloud]

Alright, then do the same with sceImposeSetLanguageMode. That should do it. Normally it's enough just with that one. In some other cases, such as Type-0, there is more that one syscall involved...

Thanks for the help, done it now

I managed to edit the textures, in the end I converted them from their 8bit indexed ABGR8888 to 32bit true colour since I couldn't find any editing software that used the palettes alpha channel.



You may notice that Swap PC is bugged, I still have to add proper colour selection once 256 colours are exceeded.
Edit: fixed - lol, forget to reserve a colour for transparent

This may be a little late to post but the program called colga can probably edit those images. That is what I had to use to get proper files for the Zero no Kiseki stuff. It is in japanese but I have made a semi-translated (well basically I stuck what I could in via hex editing) version if you are interested. The only drawback to that program is no text insertion. That would be a great feature.

Thanks for the link, seems this like something that would have been useful

"8bit パレット（パレット部にアルファが入っていれば読み込むことが出来ます" - this is exactly what I wanted, oh well wasn't to much trouble to write a converter
