Hey, this is Rai. I'm a big fan of the Goemon series and it's a big shame that most of the SNES one's never came to the states. So with my romhacking skills, I started a translation project.

So far, I've made a table for the font. I've also bypassed the compression by means of rom expansion. The project is in it's very early stages, but hopefully I'll see it through to the end.

Here are early English screenshots:


As you can see, I've still got to work out the control codes and stuff. But I've gotten past the biggest technical hurdle that has stopped this game from being translated.

If you need help in the actual script translation aspect then I'm sure toy could possibly recruit someone for that. :p

Good luck with the project!

This is exciting to see, I've always considered myself a fan of the Goemon series, but I've never played the SNES games because of the language barrier.
Good luck Rai, I hope you're able to see this through.

I've inserted lower-case characters.

I really dig your video, you made some really smooth progress on your translation, I can remember being real pissed about Goemon 2 3 and 4 not coming out in the states because of their Japanese style. I did buy Goemon 2 for $85 back in 1993.

Yeah, I probably do need help with the script translation. So if you know anybody let me know.

An update. It's been a while since I started this thread and a lot of ASM hacking progress has been made to the game.

First off, I hacked the compressed in-game dialogue font and changed it to a temporary English font.

I've also started making progress on hacking a VWF into this game, as you can see in the screenshot below...



The VWF took a lot of hacking to do and is still in it's WIP stages. But it'll be perfected eventually.

Though the VWF is almost finished, there's still a ton of work to be done. For instance, I have to modify the VWF to make it work for the cutscene text. I also have to dump the whole Japanese script, which is full of control codes, before I send it to the translator. Then after all that, I'll still have to hack some compressed Japanese graphics.

But it'll all get done eventually.
