Hello everyone! Few days ago I find out about this game by SEGA, and as a big fan of Haruhi and a DS handhelds really want to play it. But unfortunately its only on Japanese. However, trying to find a eng patch led me to a full letsplay with pretty nicely translated to russian subtitles (I speak russian best). And I thought, that maybe I'll try to patch it by my self. Few days of researching google- and everyone saying that its too complicated to translate from japanese and that's all basically.

But, further researches gave the results- now I can find any japanese text in HEX editor. But trying replacing it doesn't seem to work, eng text just doesn't appear and russian text is displayed as @@@ signs. Looks like game is just not equipped to display it at all. But game contains eng text (in main menu and "S O S" for example) so I though that I can at least translate it to english.

Now I know, that every game needs it's own approach to translate. So please, if you are good at coding and ROM hacking and also love the Haruhi franchise- contact me, we could work together to Translate this game. I will provide russian to english translation.

Here is example, I replaced part of this dialogue with english text, but it just doesn't appear:

When you replaced it, did you try half-width characters or full-width? Sometimes games don't pick up half-width characters by default but they might with full-width.

Compare:
SOS half-width
SOS full-width characters

(I'm not a coder, just thought this would be interesting for you to know.) If it is full-width only, you will still need someone to help because the limitations of that aren't really viable for English translation.

Btw, there is also a partial English translated script available here :wub:

Right, I thought to my self- that's a strange looking S. But did not attach any importance to it.
Also, thanks for the link, it will help me to progress. Thanks!

    I'm so very tempted to buy that new Anbernic SP. Bastards.
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Buy two glue your old screen to the bottom, makeshift Ds
  • mthrnite @ mthrnite:
    i want that anbernic sp too
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I have their previous SP clone and it's great but the new one has analog sticks, a better screen and twice the RAM. Which I'm not sure makes any difference but twice is twice.
  • mthrnite @ mthrnite:
    the screen looks a lot more punchy
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's exactly three times the resolution of the GBA so there's no resampling in full screen. Integer scaling FTW.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    And the colors look great in review videos.

    i like my miyoo mini but mainly just play gb and gbc on it cuz the shoulders are ill-placed
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I expected the shoulder buttons on mine to feel weird but the L1/R1 feel just like the GBA SP and the L2/R2 aren't in the way.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Did you have a GBA SP?
