Some of you know me, some of you have probably heard of me, but for those of you who don't know who I am, I'm the guy responsible for (so far) 50 completed translation projects over at the website linked to in my signature. I'm fairly competent with 65816 (and thus by extrapolation 6502) and I've tinkered a tiny bit with z80, but not much. My main focus is text-hacking Japanese games into English, and the accompanying assembly-level changes that are thus required. The project I've given most attention to lately is Super Robot Wars Alpha Gaiden, a strategy/rpg for the PSX and an absolutely massive undertaking besides. I'm in the middle of writing a dumper/builder combo for one major text-containing file, but we're already well into another of them. The screenshots on the page are fairly old but are still fairly indicative of general progress even if they don't display some of the changes I made earlier this week.

So yeah. Hi.

Nah, s'not done yet. I'm stuck trying to reverse-engineer the message format. It's elegant, one 24-bit pointer to a number of text strings, but I'm still not entirely sure how it actually gets to those other text strings.

You'd better check this out, by the way. Not that you'd need it, of course.

Hah, I remember that. Recoil posted it on the fruit site forums at one point, but unfortunately, it did nothing to stem the flow of dumbasses into the board, and it disappeared shortly afterwards

I remember the days where we had several active "celebrities" in the rom hacking/emulation community here; we still have quite a few, but not as many as before. So it's nice to see the trend actually *reversing* itself for once.

Yeah, I know about the guy who translated like...5% of it but apparently he gave up on it.

What the? You are Aeon Genesis? Hmm, so you

I haven't given up on it, I've just shuffled it off to the side while I work on other things that are easier to stomach. The data structures that the strings are stored in gives me headaches and makes me want to scream.

The name rung some bells but I couldn't place you, and still can't.

But the page you linked to reminded me of the StarFox 2 beta translation...

Oh well. Either way, you still earn bonus points for ringing a bell, perhaps later I'll remember where I know you from.

I am largely responsible for the Starfox 2 beta translation, yes, along with d4s (other coding), fusoya (compression stuff), and satsu (script translation.) I am also, as mentioned, responsible for 49 other patches :p Suffice it to say, I know my way around SNES games, hex editors, and a plethora of other romhacking related things.

Madou Monogatari and Puyo Puyo... <3

And considering they're SUPPOSED to be getting work on Hakusho soon...and considering I'm hoping that they get Nazo Puyo done...yea...I know of AGTP quite well.

Madou Monogatari is a short but cute RPG. If you've played Puyo Puyo, you'll get an idea of where the characters are from. I blew a good 14 hours playing it and I got everything...but it was a fun 14. That...and I notice it's HIGHLY non-linear most times. There's plenty of ways to beat the game.
