I have had English 1st period for three years in a row now, so blech.  My Japanese class is so much better, considering that I picked up some Japanese while I lived there.

Yeh, somewhat of a pity that nobody really wants to take time out for the poor old Saturn.

Although emulators are often built around simple 'display text, show picture' games, because it's just simple compared to other games.

"Freeky Deeky"?

*laughs coz it sounds funny*

Wow, nice.  Although... gee, the watermark is a bit distractive.

For hacking these sort of things, I have found no one tool that worked for even MOST functions, but I highly recommend Translhextion for what is pretty much an advanced Windows version of them ole DOS thingies where it showed hex data on the left, and ANSI equivalents on the right.  Just a consideration, but it IS the only tool I used when hacking Pokemon Ruby!  

*room is very quiet*

What?


Yeah, anyways that makes it way easier to search for patterns.  And if you ever found a unified script, you can create a table file to edit manually (sorta, it's one of the features of the program that still has to be worked out, but prolly never will).

(Translhextion available http://vice.parodius.com/win_prg.html ) [/plug]

Alright, on second look I must tell you that dynamic loading is somewhat necessary for a console.  Just a waste of RAM if you don't...

Must...find...pointer...table....

Eh, it's just bookstores these days don't consider those sort of thingies important anymore (I blame computers for that).  Just another sign of how Japanese companies appreciate efficiency.

*eyes MES file*

Interesante..........

We get blah, filename, blah, filename, blah, filename, blah, filename, blah, filename, blah, filename, etc.  This could possibly be the sequences, but there doesn't seem to be enough room for the Japanese text.  Which means... P0||\|7><0rz!!!  Now how that works... heh... hah... hoo...

Well, at least we know that the filenames are surrounded by ASCII #6.  Lessee... 0x01041D06[filename]06[00 or 20, can't tell]020F would be the general pattern.   And now I'm tired.  More analysis later *snore*

Try a 32x32 font with 1bpp setting in YY-CHR (That's what it looks like, judging from the screenies so far.  YY-CHR is a useful VG graphics tool, available ).  If that shows something really clear, send the 'kana' font to me, and then I could probably deduce what you're trying to look for.

Better yet, have you found any ... erm... MES files that seem to correspond to something you could access easily?  That is a definite method for finding a point to start hacking.

A.BIN... sounds like the executable.  Just seems logical to me, considering how many calculator programs I've written called 'A'...  It always shows up first on the list!

These 'BIND.DAT' and 'BIND.TBL'  might mean something.  Could be the script's in the dat file, and tbl sounds... like... well... table.  Might wanna analyze that, could actually be the key to something.

And as a random post-ending message...

Bookmark?  XD  That's just like the slip you might find in books you order.  It merely identifies the book, genre, price, etc.  If I get time to scan one, I'll show you an example of an English equivalent... except that one is more of a receipt.

Hm, actually if you ever on a graphics hack find a suspicious-looking table of Japanese characters, you can be 96% sure that THAT is not only the font set, but ALSO that the encoding is most likely IN THAT EXACT ORDER.  Obviously this is because it makes the programmers' (and the hackers') jobs reasonable.

Other than name keycodes, and possibly 'social markers'... (for example, your younger brother would definitely call you something different than your older brother.  In Oriental society, the older you get, the more you get respected...
"An' the less you gotta respect!")

Trust me, there are already plenty of relative search tools, even for dual byte encoding and stuff.  If you wanted to extract a script, BY GOLLY YOU CAN GET IT.  Seriously, hacking is so advanced these days it's too scary.

I finally got some time into translation:

The left side:
"IYAaaaaaaaa..."

Right:
"Fatora and Makoto alike have finally discovered the ultimate beauty.
Dressing in women's clothes?  By no means should he suffer like this!
Indeed, in the room Makoto's genuine screams can be heard.
...condolences..."

Hmm...

I did my monthly ( ;) ) e-mail check, to find the 'EHPC' E-mail, and I must admit:  This Rob, he never ceases to amaze me.  If he needs a translator or MIDI artist, I'm sure s/he'll come (well, I'm both, but I'm lazy and unreliable)

As a sad side-note, [Rob: Don't mention E****.  That's buried past.  I knew they'd never finish it ANYway, I just did that to keep some people quiet.  Few people here even know what that is, so, no reason to be bringing it up.  It's El-Hazard all the way now.]

Well, that's pretty impressive work.  All I can suggest is that for optimal translation, it is most likely possible to hack the script and bust that Jappy text wide open.  (And it prolly wouldn't even be that hard, considering it's as recent as the Saturn it might just be standard Shift-JIS or EUC text, uncompressed!)  Keep it up!

As I have stated in a previous topic, Makoto can mean a various number of positive things, not just into one equivalent word in English.  No wonder it's a somewhat popular name among Japanese.

As for that pic...  Eh, I'll get around to full-time translation this summer.
