yep nothing

yep nothing

No idea then, maybe try some different PPSSPP builds

will do

in Disassembler, change these and test in real hardware please:
0x8ADE5C8 = sw zero,0x4(s5) ---Change to---> sw t7,0x4(s5)
0x8ADE5CC = sw zero,0x8(s5) ---Change to---> sw t7,0x8(s5)

it should make the save load menu in english i guess

 

[JamRules]

Actually just done the swap for loading, it now has "Back" and "Enter" in english for a real psp.
Took a while to copy though

It does save at 08ADE5C8 but it saves over it again at 08ADDE14 so the value isn't used

The main problem I'm having is finding the location in the eboot, any good way to find it except
ctrl-f?

Also I'm guessing you got ppsspp working, unless your using jpcsp

do the same for both again:
0x8ADDE14 = sw zero,0x4(s2) ---Change to---> sw at,0x4(s2)
0x8ADDE18 = sw zero,0x8(s2) ---Change to---> sw at,0x8(s2)

Like I said already done and tested it

"Actually just done the swap for loading"

I think save may use a different call but it's impossible to get to the first save on PPSSPP (without a controller) and I lost my old saves so I'll have to test later

ok did you do the little swap for the SetLanguage SCE ?

 

[JamRules]

If you mean sceImposeSetLanguageMode then yes but thanks anyway.
And I just checked and save is definitely a different call, unfortunately character select is bugged out on PPSSPP since it saves after name entry

 

[omarrrio]

i am a noob when it comes to asm, but you should look into dialog sce's maybe you'll find something

 

[JamRules]

I saw plenty of other calls I just need to be able to breakpoint with PPSSPP so I know what register to replace zero with.
That or somehow inject a load immediate but I don't know how to add extra opcodes

 

[omarrrio]

hmmmm that's gonna be really hard to find :s

 

[JamRules]

Well i'm playing to the first save point on my psp, then I'll copy the save and hopefully be able to trace it

Edit: Strange, when using PPSSPP it always loads the first save no matter which I choose,
it works fine on a real PSP so maybe it's another multi-threading error like the character select.

it happens even with a clean version so pretty sure its a bug with PPSSPP

Edit: even weirder, I deleted the other saves except for the one on the first bench but when it loads it starts from the very beginning.

Edit: turns out I didn't lose my other save, when I load it on my psp it loads fine,
but no matter what save I load on PPSSPP it starts a new game as the male main.
Well, thats going to make debugging hard. I'll have to dig out my wired xbox controller and playthrough to the first save and use PPSSPP statesaves, but I'll do that tommorow since it's 02:30

 

[TwistedZeon]

Does anyone have an idea where the stuff for the Main Menu is? I cannot find anything for it, then again I guess If I did find it, it would be in a file type I'm not used to.

 

[JamRules]

Not sure it could be in layout, it possible that icons are stored as .TPL since they are animated but I wasn't able to get much from googling.
The magic number is CMPS so as a wild guess could be some form of video.

PICT/LOADINGINFO holds the text for the loading screens as still .TM2s so that'll be good to replace,

LAYOUT also holds the map images for example this is the bus

Edit: And the .GIMs found in pict are for the particle effects so it's not those
When I find time I'll look through the syscalls to find what files it's loading but I have the save asm to do and Sol Trigger stuff

 

[TwistedZeon]

I knew about the loadinginfo but not the map images so that's nice to know.

If you ever get around the finding it it'd be greatly appreciated. I would try and continue text insertion but I feel like my translations aren't that great. The way I do it is so sloppy. I use the faq as a guideline, then I use google translate on a line of text, I also get my friend who isn't very fluent in japanese to try and translate it, and then we take all that and try to make the best sounding translation. This is why we really could use a proper translator who is fluent. Though given how we have been doing it, I am impressed with how good we have done so far.

Edit:That edited loadinginfo, I cannot get working in the game dunno why.

 

[JamRules]

When you say not working does the game not work or does it still show in japanese?
because there may be copies in the .pkgs
Edit: Oh and I just looked at the faq properly for the first time, I didn't realise it wasn't a direct script translation. Depending on how good your japanese is a proper translator would be a great help then since straight up machine translation generally fails. Guessing you haven't got a reply from the person you asked?

 

[TwistedZeon]

The game works but no image shows in the spot it is supposed to be.

Yeah my friend's Japanese isn't that great yet, so a proper translator would be much better.

Also no I haven't gotten a reply yet. If only the faq was a direct script translation.

 

[JamRules]

Possibly to do with the colour palette but I'm not sure

This link may help,skip the first steps since you already have the tm2/tim2

steps 5,6,7 might work
If you use it then make sure to set interlace to none with Game Graphic Studio
