Hello everyone. Today I present you an idea that came to me today evening.

Never felt that the Spanish NoE localization made for TLoZ Minish Cap was total Garbage?

Wrong place names, wrong character names, wrong translations, bugs and a large etc.

I gave me the task to fix this, having as a goal to RElocalize the game to proper neutral Spanish and using terms, character names and places according to official Nintendo names given on another Zelda titles.

Currently I only have made little progress, since I'm not an expert (and this is my very first hacking attempt to a rom ever) and only tools are an hex editor and an ascii text editor (since the text files are plain ascii format text inside the rom).

If someone is interested and wants to help PM me and we can work together to get this done.
Done list:
  • Figure out text format.
  • Figure out text commands.
  • Figure out text locations.
  • Get the rom working without crashing lol.
To do list:
  • Publish first ver. Patch.
  • Figure out how to add text out of bounds without get the rom crashing on boot.
  • Get past 50% of text to fix.
  • Move to editing text in the (U) version Rom (Has more text space and is easier to translate for me)
  • Find more team members (only me ATM)
Here are some pics.

    it took 2 hours to transfer like 30gb of stuff tho
  • SirAkivar @ SirAkivar:
    every picture and video seems good,
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Try a dif SD card in the Switch, if still problematic, then its the switch, not a SD card.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    If you not using a emunand, you can just copy all content from orig SD card to another, if orig not corrupted.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    You can even not copy over the "Nintendo" folder to save time and just to test.

  • SirAkivar @ SirAkivar:
    @BigOnYa I did exactly that i copied my entire SD card, I'll see if I can find another to test but since i get the black screen and can't start it normally with or without the SD card in, im concerned.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Did you have AutoRCM enabled in Hekate?
  • SirAkivar @ SirAkivar:
    I dunno, the black screen was before i did anything to the switch.
  • SirAkivar @ SirAkivar:
    It would still be seen by my pc as APX but not turn the screen on.
  • SirAkivar @ SirAkivar:
    "AutoRCM" is off.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea I don't know then sorry. Sounds like something wrong with the switch itself. (Corrupted Nand maybe). Sorry to hear and good luck with.
  • SirAkivar @ SirAkivar:
    Yeah that's what i am worried about, since I just randomly plugged it into my pc yesterday to charge and after a few connect/disconnect sounds in my headphones, i look over ' see a brief error message ' then now it won start up normal.
  • SirAkivar @ SirAkivar:
    That's when i started messing with all the hekate / tegra rcm gui stuffs.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Do you have a full Nand backup? Will be about 32gb in size. Restoring it maybe an option. I'd just ask in the forums, we've already spent to much time here in chat talking bout it.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Damn that's sad.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    He finished cleaning out his closet?
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:

  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
