Gaming translation help

[♣zx♣]

Is there a software that can be useful for translating ISO's just like monster hunter portable 3. I heard there's this Psypsp guy who made a translation of it's DEMO.

romhacking.net is very useful. Start with the easy systems first like NES/SNES (Really easy), then advance to maybe GBA or something (Alot harder than NES/SNES hacking, mind you..). Done that? Start learning MIPS ASM (I seriously recommend learning this), learn to use hex editors (You'd prolly have some experience with this from NES/SNES/GBA but read FAST6191's useful guide). Learning to program is useful, but not a necessity (So you can program your own shit to edit game scripts and stuff, somewhat like what you mentioned about a software translating MHP3). Knowing how to debug is great when your stuck somewhere and need to find a pointer responsible for line length and stuff blah blah blah (rants on).

But seriously. Once you get the gist of hacking basic systems, you can come back and ask.

Basically no, there's no automated program to do it because there's no standard way to put text in a game. Pretty much every game does it a different way.
