Unfortunately I'm far from fluent in Japanese (in the process of learning). If you need any sort of QC, Editing, writing, or anything else, I would be more than happy to help.
yeah you can share saves with GW just use SDF.....save backups are importantSlight progress bump! Angular translated some of the combat text. d(ﾟ-^*)
Now for the bad news... I was trying to do some ASM hacking to get the text working properly, and I just lost my save file so I can't make any progress for a while! Woo! (；∀；)(；∀；)(；∀；)
This gives me a good chance to test everything I've translated up until now I guess. But it really is a blow to my motivation since it took a while just to get that far into the game for me.
Does anyone know if it's possible to trade .sav files between different 3DSes with Gateway? I'm not sure if it's possible because of encryption stuff, but if it is, does anyone have a save file from around level 4-5 ish that they can share?
GL finding someone with a save to share
If you're using a .3DS rom on the red card, then you can just share the .sav file as is and not worry about the encryption.
That's really amazing! :0Good news! I fixed one of the big programming problems that I was worried about with this translation. The text displays reaaally slowly in English, and sometimes it's so slow that the game skips to the next line before showing the entire line. I found a way to abuse an unused command in the scripting system to force the game to display text instantly, so now all of the text will be instant and there shouldn't be any problems with text getting cut off!
What level? I found a save I had copied a few months ago on level 2 floor 3 so I might continue with that.
Holy shit, I can't believe that the game I requested is being translated! You probably planned this for ages, but this just made my day
Do not loose motivation. Keep going strong! There were many times I loose VN(eroge) translated files in past but still continued. I already started so I will finish it if take 1 year. I wanted others to enjoy such stories in english that was my key motivation.
Perhaps this post is not help much but just slowly (pick at it?) do it to finish.

This is Third Level Beggining,I think.
Wow, this is great! I'm glad some of the tri-Ace stuff that never got an English release is being worked on. My level of Japanese is unfortunately somewhere in the JLPT3000 range or I'd offer my help.
I know its a ways away from being done, but once it is done, how do we play the translation? Will this work with one of those 3DS carts?

Great news! I hope there is further progress soon.
Good luck and have some good ciphering today.

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:
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:
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:
@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:
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:
@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:
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:
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

@
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:
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 -
