The game is a pirate for the NES called Titanic. It is based directly off the movie and is in chinese. Translation is 100% done, and there are only five screens to change from chinese to english. This should be very easy for anyone who translates roms. i have pics with the corrected english translations if anyone is interested.

So, what your saying is that your pirating games? NEVER DO THAT. Its very illegal and probably could get Acmlm Boards, Sued. Just a tip to you.

Man, you made me laugh. How could the whole board get sued for the actions of one member? As stated by the FAQ, the board doesn't own and can't be held responsive for what the members do on it.

Also, from what I understand from the first post, the game in question is a homebrew game (assuming that by 'pirate' he meant 'not approved by Nintendo'), and wasn't made by the OP, so I can't see what's illegal. Of course I may be wrong.

(besides, the board's name is Board2 -- formerly Acmlm's Board II. Acmlm's Board is a thing of the past now)

It's not like we are fooling anyone regarding the legality of the way the ROM images we hack around on, or anybody here cares about intellectual property rights at all... and as far as being sued for saying that we are pirating goes, I think I speak for all the administration when my response is along the lines of bring it on.

Anyway, pacnsacdave: Do I understand you right in that you have translated the text yourself and need help with actually hacking your translation into the game? If so, some additional data on the project (such as a link to the image, or the screens you want translated) would be helpful.

From what I've gathered, it'd be a graphical page (Rather than a direct text translation) sou he's looking for someone who can do the text in probably a like manner (Like the other fonts), and translate the graphics to text.

It should be easy, provided you know what it says.

Okay, I've glanced at this. At first I thought it would be a simple graphics edit (Not seeing the game before), but this is going to be a text edit. It's going to be a much harder process.

Do you happen to know all the chinese character's (Letters, not game characters) names? (Like Dou, and Buk and Ai (etc)) If you do, you can open up the rom with Windhex (Not winhex, they're different ) [Latest version is 2005.4.20], and do a kana search. You're going to have to copy and paste the actual chinese characters into the search. For example "人" would be Jin in Japanese which is a kanji for person. Chinese I do believe uses it too, but, has a different name for it.

Anyway, you're going to have to look for, and replace the text, and then the graphics accordingly.

It's a daunting task, and a little bit out of my league. I KNOW the basis behind it, but, I've never really done it myself.

Not only that; but he would have to change the text routine to display 8x8 tiles as opposed to 16x16 Chinese characters. That would require ASM hacking and if you don't know that; either edit the 16x16 chinese characters, with a 16x16 english font or you're out of luck.
