[W.I.P] McDonald's eCDP - Fan Translation (Alpha Patch 0.5 - Easy menu!)

[This is a public alpha test release - Patches not final. Work in Progress mod.]
Test Release - Patch will be available for download

As soon as this ROM was released,
Everyone. And I mean everyone. Wanted an English patch.

And that's where fans come in!
Yes you heard it right, I have been making, developing, and working on a McDonald's eCDP english patch.
I know you're thinking: "Why release it early?"
Well, I want to get this out for everyone to enjoy, and it'd probably take me way too long if I only uploaded the finished ROM.
For now, I'm releasing patches, one by one; so stay updated!
Right now this is a test patch.
Here are some screenshots!

How to patch your ROM:

Spoiler: Patching ROM

You'll need:
xDelta UI
eCDP ROM (Un-Patched)
eCDP Patch File

First, extract xDelta UI into a folder of choice.
Then, open xdeltaUI.exe; you should see these 2 tabs:
"Apply Patch" and "Create Patch"
You'll already be on Apply Patch, but check anyway.
For "Patch", insert the .xdelta patch file you downloaded.
For "Original File", insert the original eCDP Japan ROM.
Lastly, pick a destination in "Output File"
(Make sure to name it with ".nds" at the end.)

Now open your emulator of choice.
Find the patched file you named, then open it using the emulator.
Now; don't actually click anything yet, as the game won't let you.
What you should do at this point is load the .sav file that comes with the eCDP ROM.
Then you're done.
Enjoy!

Let me know your feedback to make the new patch even better!
Enjoy playing the alpha!

 

Sure dude!

 

If you would want to edit the game to support other characters, you would need to edit the font that is in the game files. Though, you can't add/map it to said specific character.

Cool! I'll see later in the future.

 

"10:1" was an issue in translation. This wasn't intentional. "quater" is a typo I overlooked and didn't really notice. I'll also clean up the main menu's buttons, they annoy me too. Thanks for your feedback!

 

Try pausing the emulation then restarting. Always worked for me.

 

Close DesMUME. If that doesn't work, try loading the .sav then pausing, then reloading the ROM. It doesn't work on your first try, keep in mind.

 

I have some updates, however the new patch is not ready yet. I'm translating some quizzes, and I've encountered my first bug while translating. It won't take that long, but slowly but surely, I will get this translated properly.
