Thanks DackR. I added it to TRCF

^  That's a lot of Bomberman games.

[DackR]

Thanks everyone for keeping me motivated!

I've been steadily moving through and hacking several of the Menu headings as well as many of the menu options. Most areas are pretty simple to get hacked in, but quite tedious. Also, the way the font graphics are stored and referenced by the display routine can get pretty complicated.

So far, only one menu screen has become a pain to hack, so I'm leaving it for last. That is the Sound Test menu. For whatever reason, i'm having trouble locating the tilemap which means its probably encoded strangely. When I feel like a grind-session, I'll be stepping through the code to figure out where and how the data is stored in the ROM for this screen. Hopefully this is the only screen that is done this way... :p

I'll try to have some progress screenshots in my next update, but for now this description will have to do. Honestly, the progress isn't very impressive yet anyway.

The scientists have just found out there's a Planet #9 in our solar system. They're now trying to find it with a ground telescope. I'm sure you'll be able to find that elusive tilemap, LOL!

[Pizzano]

I am very excited for this! 

I don't think sound test will matter much.

If I can set up a multi-player game with friends and all the main menu/multi-player options are translated, I would be ecstatic.

[Pizzano]

I know you have been working on other projects, but if you ever get around to putting out a beta version of the mod which includes a translated main menu/multi-player options, this will become my go to party games for me and my friends.

Thanks again for your hard work! 

[DackR]

Thanks for the encouragement.

I promise I'll do my best to get back on it as soon as possible. I also can't wait for this to be completed.

I like to cycle through my projects so that I don't get burned out. It's anybody's guess when I get back to it. 

[romate]

Love Super Bomberman 5. Cant wait!

[BarbieOnWeed]

Thank you so much for doing this.

As long as it's still in your to-do list, you're still the best chance to get this translated at the moment, so thanks!

I don't know if this is the same project, but I thought it's relevant enough to link it here.

Wow, it's nice to see people still interested in this being completed. I would really love for this project to be finished someday.

How can that project be tested, btw?

[Panzer88]

What's the current status of this project?

[Flaviogames]

Panzer88: I also wanted to know, but it seems abandoned

[zfreeman]

There was another project that was released before this. That's probably what stopped development.

zfreeman: esse outro projeto não está completo, infelizmente tambem foi abandonado

That one was abandoned permanently.
