Hey guys, sorry it’s been a while since the last update.
The issue was that Sporky, our Editor’s computer broke down and ever since then our Editing process was stalling.
But oh lucky day, since yesterday he got his new computer which means the Editing process will finally continue.
Don’t worry, we weren’t sitting around doing nothing in the meantime. The NPC insertion process is still ongoing but I’d say for now it’s at about 90%.
So while I have no screenshots ( I just couldn’t come up with what to show you), I’ll just randomly toss some numbers at you guys:
Story Translation : 99.9 %
That is just a placeholder in case I messed up something. It’s basically done.
Story Insertion: 99.9 %
That is just a placeholder in case I messed up something. It’s basically done.
Story Editing (1st Edit) : 70% . Ongoing
Story Editing (2nd Edit): Not started yet, since 1st Edit isn’t finished yet.
NPC Translation+Insertion: 90%
I need to test things here. Bear with me.
ASM Process: 30%
There’s still a huge assload to do and the game is not exactly on our side with this.
Any ASM hackers out there? I guess StorMyu could use a helping hand, it would speed up that process.
Quality Checking/Betatesting: 20% (?) Don’t know, currently I just test out randomly stuff. There’s barely a point since the 2nd Edit isn’t even in place yet.
So the bottomline: Editing continues, and I should be able to give you a more detailed progress report soon.

Thank for your hard work! I heard a group was working on translating the game back in 2012, but that’s a common claim people make. I figured you would have given up after a little bit. so I was shocked when one of my subscribers on youtube showed me your progress. I’m so grateful you guys have stuck with it and have put so much effort into this. Don’t think for a second its unappreciated or not worth it because it is.

I wonder if you guys could put up a donation system so we could really appreciate all the work you have done for us till now, you deserve nothing less.
From your Brazilian stalker, alot of good wishes!

Also, wouldn’t be easier for you guys to choose like 50 beta testers from this website to help with this? I dont mean releasing it yet, just choosing some people by sorting or something alike.

@Andreus if they accept donations they will be in an awkward position in regards to Namco Bandai.. simply put, accepting money for this for patch would jeopardize the team’s position, and would make what they are doing right now illegal..
Nice try with the beta testing idea, but I don’t think Romsstar would go for it, as he wouldn’t really be able to trust all 50 people not to release the Beta version of the patch to the public…

ASM is at 30%, does that mean there is a lot of technical work to be done? It sounds like ASM is the core of the coding and inserting the translations and stuff into the ROM. Anyways, I’m asking because I have no idea what to make of that part because well I’m not a ROM hacker lol. Could you clarify what that part means?

Homeless, ASM means that the modifications necessary into the code, not only translations (as they had to change stuff like more lines for sentences, and stuff like that) to be added. As the game is done, you have the “output” of the program, so, it’s like getting the output, making a few changes, and putting it back together, as called of “Reverse Engineering”. It’s kinda fun, but takes lots of work. 30% means that there are few changes on the list to be made, very few probably, but the 30% is the risk margin of things not going as planed, as the solution devoloping new bugs into the game or glitches. I’d say that, if we get everything working correctly, that would be around 50% at least.

Truth is, there is a lot of ASM work left. But also that it’s a hit and miss thing. Once we found what we need it’s usually a 10 minutes work. It’s sorta a gamble with Redigitize. PSP Hacking is also still a very new terrain, my experience with Digimon World helps here, but it’s still substantially different.
The 30% marks what is DONE, so 70% of ASM work still lies ahead, alas.

I think I gotta correct myself on this one. I spent the whole day ASM hacking myself (as you know from my Digimon World 1 hacks I do know a trick here and there) and now I’d say at least 50% of the ASM work is done.

Although I enjoy working with assembly code, I certainly am not an expert and would likely be of little use in assisting the ASM hacks. However, as a native english speaker with a lot of experience with foreign languages (But just a little Japanese), I would love to assist in the story editing. I’m pretty proficient in my ability to rearrange sentences and chose alternative words for improved readability.

Phillip: This is a throw away email address where you can reach me. I don’t like posting my real one where spambots can find it. We mostly have NPC text left, so it shouldn’t be too taxing, but we’ll want you to look over some text I’ve already edited before we officially make you a member. We could certainly use another skilled editor, so I hope you’ll apply.

@Lucas: Thanks for the thought, but we could get into legal trouble if we accepted donations for this. Seriously, it means a lot that you’d be willing to donate, though.
@Reptile: No can do. Long story short, the tools needed to debug and changes we’d like to make don’t exist, and we don’t have the skillset to create them. We have the script, and it’s three times as long, with twice as many Digimon, and is all around better, but for now, we can’t translate it. We’ll be doing the Digimon Adventure game instead as our next project.
