Wow, I picked a good time to stumble upon this translation! 97% done! You've been doing an excellent job, and I'm going to DL and enjoy this stuff right now.

Thank you, good sir.

Some of the NPC's haven't been translated, like in shops, but if it doesn't matter to the story, who cares.
This is a fantastic translation and you should be applauded for your hard work and dedication.

You know, it's funny how there was talk a while back of Ninty possibly bringing this game to America (I rem reading about it), then this translation project basically ended at ~98%.......now you don't hear anything further about this being officially localized. It's as if they were waiting for this translation to be completed and they were just going to snatch it up and stick it on a cart without giving any credit to all the hard work Darth put into it, nor would he have received any kind of compensation for doing their work for them. Sure, they MIGHT have tidied up a few more things before releasing it, but that would have only been to hide the fact that they stole the translation from here. It wouldn't surprise me in the least if that was actually the way things were going to happen.

Or IS there still talk of an official localization? I've heard nothing since.....well, a long time ago.

That would have been a slap in the face, really... I mean... ugh I don't think they could really do something like that... *believes in the goodness of people*
But if they did it would be really hard to stand up against it, I think... Bacause using a rom is illegal, and distributing a translation of it, even for free and not getting their permission should be illegal either... So there'd be nothing you could do against it if you don't want to get sentenced for this project or not?

And if Nintendo KNOWS about this project, they should really consider giving darth some money and ask for permission to use his translation. They could fix the missing 2 percent and sell the game in the US too. They'd make a lot of money with it, since there are still enough people out there who do not even know what a flashkart is... ^^ (or never saw a romsite... ^^) The game is really good and Japan isn't the biggest country of the world (even with its high population ^^)
And I guess there are a lot of roleplayers out there who want to get their hands on a game like that!

Plus, if I loved a game I WOULD pay for it, just to have it lined up in my shelf.

i tried the patch in my acekard 2 and i loved it, until the begining of act 1 where the whole game just freezes. I tried getting another *copy* of the game to patch but, same result. I also tried skipping the movie where it freezes but it just freeze afterward, i even got the most recent firmware of my acekard but nothing seems to work. Any suggestion ?

solved, if any of you have the same problem, just format your flashcart and everything should be fine.

Great job on this project. One small nitpicky thing for me though. I'm unsure if it has to do with the ROM or some setting on the flash cart, but the game has a generic NDS logo and name though the game works perfectly. Anyone know how to fix this?

can I patch the game then trim it? or do I have to trim it first then patch it?

When you patch the ROM, it will automatically trim it because it won't write any of the padding the ROM has by default.

Try to use different ROM, if this kind of thing happened to other ones too, try to format your microSD too
