In the last several weeks, this project has made some colossal progress. It started off as just making some refinements to what was already done, but now there’s a lot more than that.

The largest of it all has to be the fact that we can now pretty much fit as much text as we need on a dialogue line. We were previously limited to 16 characters which was really quite annoying. Habilain is responsible for this revolutionary bit of progress.

Klarth was finally motivated to finish the script inserter (at least, the basic functionality). That combined with Habilain’s hack makes it possible to insert translated scripts and have them appear as intended.

And for me, I implemented my real first assembly level hack ever to fix all the text centering, which I am quite proud of.

The “only” bad news news to report is that the script translator has not returned any emails sent in the last several weeks. It’s worrisome because she helped us complete previous projects before, so had a record of dependability. At least we have a reliable “backup team” working on the script now, as I don’t want to waste anymore time in that front, seeing this technical progress and that this project is now over seven years in the making.

So far, there are only several more smaller ASM hacks and bugfixes left before this begins to look just about perfect all-around. We should be able to handle those within a timely manner. We’re mostly just riding on the script at this point before we can FINALLY release this thing.

We’re also hoping to enlist the help of an English major for the editing process of script revision. I want the characters have defined personalities, voices, and have it all flow naturally. The entire script is roughly around ~600KB.

That all said, the Phantasian Productions homepage has *many* more screens and some other info.

I am releasing a Complete Translation Patch for Do-Re-Mi Fantasy on Snes. It is based on Gaijin Translations 2000 Translation Patch for the Dialogue text, and now includes all of the Graphics Translated including Title Logo, World Names, Menus and Mini Game Text. Some improvements have also been made to the dialogue text to make it more consistent and to fix some errors. Thanks to those on the Romhacking.net translation forum for translating the graphic text: filler, KingMike, satsu, Suzaku, Guadozoku, Gideon Zhi.

Staff - You can get the patch here at RHDN.

After a lengthy debug process, Aeon Genesis has released a complete translation of Dragon Squadron Danzarb, a simple little RPG produced by Pandora Box, Gainax, and Yutaka for the SNES. It features a battle system halfway between Phantasy Star and Final Fantasy, giant robot dragons, a new gameplay twist for each mission, and a story that, while largely cliche, impresses greatly by the end of the game.

The translation is complete and hopefully without issues. Enjoy!

While searching the Internet, I found a news update on VB fan site Planet Virtual Boy.

Apparently, somebody named Feel has released a partial translation patch for Space Squash. While this is mostly a menu patch, I still feel it’s worth mentioning as it’s quite possibly the system’s first translation patch.

Basically, whilst taarna23 and I were talking about working on something together, the topic of FF:MQ having a bunch of weird translation changes came up. Thus, I started working on FF:MQ. I’ve always been a big fan of it (*hugs his cart*), so this was an obvious choice for a project.

Tauwasser was gracious enough to help a newbie out (me, duh!) by making a font insertion/extraction program (the font was compressed) for me. I stumbled upon it earlier in July, so I started working on it.

I’ve translated about 99% of the items/weapons/armor, locations, monsters, and a few tidbits here or there (battle messages and such). I took the “Auto” and “Manual” images from the US version, as well as the “White”, “Black”, “Wizard”, “Magic”, and “Left” images. I used them because of space reasons, plus, they’re quite well done.

I’m in dire need of a good translator for this project, as I respect the source material (as I do the other projects I take on) and would like to see the script receive a beautiful translation.
