As it’s been a few weeks, I thought it was time for an update. I am quite pleased to announce that, for the first time, we are ready to create an internal build with 100% of the game translated and inserted. As such, although we began having a few people test the patch about two weeks ago, we are now ready to have the entire team begin testing the game and looking for any remaining bugs or typos.
All of the text is still subject to change, and we may find places that need to be rewritten as we play through. As such, we are still not prepared to give an exact release date.

Sporky is correct. It is much cheaper to get a PSP (1000 2000 3000 series) and install custom firmware, as you can change the settings to copy the ISO directly from the UMD without needing a UMD dumper. Done it that way once or twice and it worked just fine

@translators Hmm.. I don’t get why just support 1 crc32 of the two iso.. Wouldn’t it be better to support 2? In my opinion it’s just delaying the inevitable plus it would delay the release.. I think using the stock xdelta ui is better for everyone plus changing the crc32 hash from 4F15A275 into 9E800037 is really easy.. A quick google would show you a link for a way on how to do it but yeah making this for those who bought it is nice and such but please remember that they’re not the only digifans here.
I can safely assure you that the majority of those who waited are those who didn’t exactly buy the game or have the money to buy it but they’ve supported you all the way even if some are just impatient little kids who don’t know how to wait. I would’ve helped you guys with the text editing if I knew this project existed 2 years ago.. So please consider throwing those who didn’t buy a bone..
Oh and a fair warning some guys may even bug you with repetitive questions as to why their iso doesn’t work with your patch. I could already see that happening if your plan of making the crc32 hash check does take place XD Thanks for reading this please don’t throw virtual rocks at me.

@Just Curious: Supporting only one of the hashes would be somewhat easier for us, as we wouldn’t have to do any extra work. However, yes, it would be better to support both. The question is how to do so. Simply releasing four patches, one with subs and one with out for each has would be needlessly confusing for most people. At the same time, only supporting one would cause about half the people to come back asking why the patch doesn’t work. That’s the whole point in making a simple GUI to patch the game correctly for them. Maybe I’m not understanding your question, your grammar is pretty bad.
I have no idea how you would change the hash, and I’m not seeing anything on Google, so please provide some links.

May 20, 2015 at 4:07 am
Ah, okay. That’s what Just was talking about. That is completely unhelpful in this case. The different CRC here is a symptom rather than a cause of the problem. The hash values are different as a result of the ISO itself being different, so forcing the CRC value to change would not fix the underlying problem.
Even if it would work, that doesn’t change the fact that you wouldn’t be able to use a stock XDelta program on the ISO. We would still need to make a program to change the 4F ISO into the 9E ISO. That would be as much or more work than making a second version of the patch and a program to run a CRC check.
LikeLike

LikeLike
May 20, 2015 at 4:30 am
It comes down to the way the ISO was made. Both discussed already, and possibly others are valid. Near as I can tell, the ISO can be slightly different based on the program used to rip the ISO, or the settings within the program. Without looking at multiple ISOs closely in a hex editor, I’m only speculating, but I suspect the header is probably the main change.
The important parts of the data are the same, but the patch relies on knowing exactly where every single bit will be, and if it’s off even slightly, you’ll get a corrupt game that probably won’t even boot. This is more common with Re: Digitize than most because there are ISOs floating around the internet that have been patched to work with old forms of CFW. That doesn’t cause a problem normally, it works with those old CFWs, new CFWs and emulators just fine, but because the files are slightly different, the patch doesn’t work.

Minor update: It seems that the CRC we thought was invalid because it had been patched to work for old CFWs is, it turns out, valid. Evidently the difference between the two is minor, a file related to updating the data on the UMD if necessary is blank on the PSN version, which is what causes the discrepency. As such, we plan to support both versions, and a friend of mine is making a front end for XDelta to patch the ISO as needed. It will do the vast majority of the work, you’ll need to tell it where your ISO is on your computer, and whether you want dub or sub terms, and it should do the rest, assuming all goes well.
In other news, last night I decided that the skill descriptions we had were awful and needed to be rewritten, so I did that. They’re both more accurate and more easily understood now.

The Japanese version of Digimon uses different terms for certain digimon and phrases than what we use for the English dub. For example, we call it Digivolve, they just call it evolve. Piomon in japan, and Biomon in the English dub. Simple stuff like that which would PO some fans who prefer one form over another. I was actually amazed that the team decided to make two versions! Everyone wins!

“Sub” means it’s a direct translation terms with no changing, while “Dub” means its been translated professionally by the company and thus has words and phrases changed. Therefore “Digivolve” and “Biyomon” are dub terms, while “evolve” and “Piyomon” are sub terms.
And yes, we must’ve missed the attack descriptions, I cheated the attacks on and saw them and told Sporky we had to fix them. Most were crude translations that made little sense. So we used the attacks to see the attacks and then looked at the description and made it fit better. It’s VERY difficult to translate something with zero context, so even though it was crude it wasn’t intention, and it’s a good thing we didn’t miss it. Hence the reason for testing. You’re welcome guys, now you don’t have to read most attacks with “chunks of water” in it :p

Hey guys, me again. Just wanted to let you know that while we were testing we discovered another thing that needed work: the news.
There are machines that tell you real world news and the stories needed to be edited. Luckily it only took about an hour to go over everything and make it less formal and typo filled, and more like something a person would actually say. I can’t take the credit myself though, I went over it, but Sporky of course was hard at work with me, and caught quite a bit of stuff I didn’t. So with that out of the way we should be much better now, and I’m already a good portion done with my second play through of it (having Omnimon/Omegamon with max stats really makes the game easier) and at this rate I myself will be done in no time, but of course I’ll go back over it and 100% to make sure I check all the dialogue. The last thing we want is to miss a line or two and it has Japanese in it somehow!

@Cain: To clarify what Rai and SSG said, for the time being, no, the opening video won’t be translated. There are some complicated legal and technical reasons for that, which Romsstar could explain better than I can, but the short version is that the relatively easy way to do so is illegal and would make the patch go from ~4 MB to ~65 MB. We’re trying to find another way, but that may or may not happen in time for release. If not, we will encourage people to watch the video on Youtube instead.
@thebgafan: Yes, but you’ll need to put custom firmware on it. If you want to take care of that in advance, just Google it, otherwise we’ll have instructions for that ready when we release.

@Neo Ness: It’s the result of the way video files work, combined with copyright law. Because video files are compressed, adding subtitles via a binary difference patch means basically including the entire video in the patch.
Now, the subtitles are our work, so they’re legal (or possibly not, Fair Use gets a little complicated) for the same reason the rest of the patch is. It represents only data we created. The video is entirely Bandai Namco’s, so we can’t distribute it.
Instead, we’re trying to rig up a system where our tool will extract the video, subtitle it, and then reinsert it but there are two major technical issues with that. The first is that the video has what appears to be an intentionally broken frame, which makes it hard to extract the video without irreparably putting the audio out of sync with the video. The second is that even if we get things set up correctly, instead of taking a few seconds to a couple minutes to apply the patch, it could take as much as an hour because we’d have to recompile the ISO.
The second one is relatively easy, we’d make subbing the video optional, but so far we haven’t managed the first. We aren’t going to push the release for the video, so we’ll see if my friend, the guy working on the problem, can fix it before we’ve got everything else ready.

Personally I may play it if someone makes a patch of it, just to see, but I personally would not be interested in making the effort when I’ve been told it’s a mediocre game at best. Sooo I’d be amazed if Adventure for PSP was planned, and if it WERE it’d be after Decoded (considering its a 3ds port of this psp game, with a bunch of extra content).

The XHai group has a partial patch out, but IIRC, they haven’t updated it in a long time. People have asked if we would continue their work, and we definitely aren’t going to do that. If we decided to work on Adventure after we finish with Decode, we would do our own translation, one that’s actually good.

It is, it’s been a couple days since anyone found a typo that hadn’t already been reported and fixed. There are some minor issues I want to correct, mostly some terms that should be capitalized that aren’t. Romsstar is making a tool to make that process faster, as, at the moment, I would need to open up hundreds of files and make the corrections manually, and that takes hours rather than the seconds that it should.

@John
The 3DS emulator on computer is still very much in development, “Citra” I believe is the only one that emulates anything and at the moment can only run homebrew programs. As far as 3DS Flash Carts, I’m 99.99% sure Gateway will be able to run it fine, but you may have to have your 3DS region-unlocked, which is a bit tedious. I personally have Sky3DS (Yes I own all the games, I just like having the originals safe and not having to risk the kids getting at them) and any 3DS rom can be put on there and it works with the latest firmware (at least the blue button model does for sure) but I believe you’d need to region-unlock your 3DS or have a Japanese 3DS. Again, I have ZERO idea of anything for CERTAIN, this is just speculation on my part.

@John: Citra does technically run commercial games now, but it’s extremely slow and buggy. I can confirm (and so can you if you scroll down to the xmas blog post) that Decode runs on a 3DS with a Gateway, and that you don’t have to do a region unlock with it. I can’t speak to the Sky cards, as I don’t have one.
Sadly, I bricked my 3DS the other day, so now I’ll have to spend an annoying amount of time and money fixing it.

I was just curious to know about the patch progress whats going on right now, whats left, that sort of thing, not release date’s or anything like that, since that always seems to go wrong. Hell ive been waiting for this ever since i saw the post for the first time in pspiso and gbatemp, and god forbid, i can wait a lot longer.
Anyways again sry bout that, thank you all for tremendous your effort, you are all amazing people, and godspeed ;).

@Sky3DS info
Sky3DS is a much simpler system to new users, and can run on just about any firmware, I’m on the current one and it still works fine. But I’m not sure about using Japanese games, and Decode will definitely register as a Japanese game, translated or not. I’m sure they’ll work on a method to make it work. I’ve heard people talking about “RegionThree” and “RegionFour” but I’ve never looked into much detail about that.

Nai:I have a question for you: how did you guys obtain the knowledge of editing these games and writing programs for it etc.? I plan on studying computer science to maybe be of help at future translation patches to repay all of kindness of others, but i’m wondering if thats enough to be able to be of help…
Thanks in advance and keep up the good work ;D
@Nai:
-> I’m not even nearly on any level to really answer this question, since I did only the easy stuff, and I’m fairly good at researching formats but basically: Try and Error. When I encounter a new format, there’s basically a pattern. There’s almost always the header, the filesize, pointers to files, things like that. Then usually, when you write for example a Text Editor for a format like Redigitize, you work with BinaryReaders and Writers. The language isn’t really important, since once you’ve gotten to understand the principle you can easily port it from other languages. C++ is used fairly often, when it comes to GUIs CompCom prefers using Qt Plugins, which apart from the fact that you need the frontend to run them, are fairly useful. But he actually prefers using command line based tools a lot, and to be honest, so do I, since GUIs often cause more problems than they solve. Roxas75 made a fancy GUI tool, which is a total nightmare. It crashes, it doesn’t do the job, it’s simply godawful. CompComs tool is commandline based and does exactly what it has to do. No more no less.
You have to decide what kind of programmer you want to be: The one that designs solutions that are fairly simple and just work or the one that designs fancy GUIs that potentially eat about half of your RAM and still can’t get the job done.
Also basic understanding of computer architecture and debugging goes a long way when it comes to writing ASM hacks. Especially with starting 3DS translations we’re approaching a field where we have no idea what we’ll be looking at.
When it comes to studying computer science: It depends. My brother is studying computer science and he’s in his 2nd year, yet he can’t write squat. I on the other hand never studied anything of the kind and I did end up writing some useful tools. Whether studying computer science will enable you to write tools that can be considered useful or not I can’t tell, since it all really depends on what you’re capable of and your potential. But if you really want to obtain the knowledge to do this kind of stuff: Just start doing it, don’t wait for any professor explain it to you. They won’t. Take a game you love, start taking it apart and see if your tools work. Learning by doing.

Rai, are you kidding me?
LOL!!!!!!
Seriously, sporky, I know you’re the one deciding which comments are posted here & whatnot, but Rai seriously needs to get a reality check after his comment:
You said the Witcher 3 is a Boring, Buggy game? The Witcher 3 will probably win Game of the Year. I’ve only played it for 8 hours now, but I can say truthfully that I haven’t run into any bugs or glitches thus far. And you’re telling me DIGIMON RE:DIGITIZED is a BETTER game than the Witcher 3? You’ve gotta be kidding me. I’m positive that is the biggest joke I will hear this entire month LOL!
Let’s say Digimon Redigitized comes out in US, do you really think it would sale or even be remotely considered for any nominations? Even Decode, the superior version, would get laughed at in today’s market compared to other games. Yes, I know I shouldn’t compare Witcher & Digimon, especially seeing as one is on a much more powerful platform, but you’ve gotta be out of your mind if you’ll enjoy digimon more than the witcher. I can’t even say that with a straight face & I’ve tried. This game is a joke in comparison, even the digimon count in this game is horrible & the look of it seems so outdated it’s almost comical for me to even be seen playing it around others. Even most of the sheep who usually worship this board is in disagreement with you. That’s saying something
Now for you, personally. Stop insulting ppl & pretending you’re somebody, when you’re not. You said “On a board waiting for a digimon game instead of playing witcher” I’d have you know that I was playing the witcher as I was on my laptop checking if the digimon game would be released when I posted my comment. I can’t do both? Apparently, according to you, I can’t play a console game on my tv & use the internet on my laptop at the same time lol. You sounded really stupid trying to be a smart, but you failed.

@SniperSlapper: You were the one who made things confrontational. I said that it wasn’t my kind of game, which is not a judgement about its quality as a game, only about my taste in games. You decided to make a big deal about my dislike for it.
As for the comparison between the two, it’s very much one of apples to tortillas. They’re completely different games. Both versions of Re Digitize are very much selling to a niche market; they are intentionally somewhat simplistic in homage to Digimon World 1, which they are systemically based on and a direct sequal to. The Witcher games, by contrast, are mass market open world games, not totally dissimilar to Skyrim. They have a completely different lineage and target market, and you appear to be the only one who feels the need to make a dick-waving contest about which is better.
Then there’s the irony of your post, which is what Rai was absolutely right to make fun of you for. By being a regular commentor here, you prove yourself to not only be among the relatively small group of people who are still Digimon fans after sixteen year, but are of the far smaller subset of that group that knows our project exists, of which relatively few check on regularly, of which even few comment on regularly. That’s a crazy amount of effort for a game that is “horrible” and “comical for [you] to… [play] around others.”

Whoever you may be, you literally just compared a game that is to be considered globally sold as to one that didn’t even break into America. On the comparison board though The Witcher (my last name seemingly spelled Witscher hahaha) really didn’t have that great of a turn out. The first two were god awful but I admit the 3rd seems pretty good but I won’t even attempt it cause like Sporky said, just not my type of game. But in comparison this Digimon blog/translation aimed particularly at Digimon fans will hit those “record” numbers in comparison quota wise as opposed to The Witcher. If you are at all “ashamed or feel comical” about playing this game then you sir/madam are not a gamer, more so as a trend fag as I put it personally. Shit I’ll still play Megaman Legends around my buds who play all the CoD stuff and if they don’t like it they can kiss my megabusters ass haha. Also what Rai meant about you commenting your sleuth of knowledge about the Witcher on this Digimon blog instead of playing it was not to be taken literal about it, more so as “if you don’t like it then take your ass on”. Seriously dude/chick, if you like Digimon and want to play it then by all means continue following the blog, but if you want to be a tater twat and down shot the very game these people are working their asses off translating for you and others then hush the hell up and GTFO.

I’m almost certain I’ll be 11A or 11B Infantry/Officer but either way in a warzone such area.

I look forward to being Active or even being back home and maybe once again hear and read about Romstar and Co. on another blog for another one of my favorites. You guys and galls are amazing people and I hope to see this game come to light very soon.

sorry if this post wastes you guys time……
P.S. never said there weren’t bugs in older games, its just that they weren’t released with NPC models missing faces like in AC Unity, just as Sporky said earlier, were just beta testers these games until 30 patches come out to make the buggy game….playable again.

I’m playing Witcher 3, it’s a good game but in no way groundbreaking. True, it pushes boundaries when it comes to graphics, but that is the curse of modern gaming. What actually makes it a good game is that everything has a story and it draws you into the world.
Still, I’d rather play FF6. It might not have amazing graphics – it was first released for SNES – but because the graphics were quite generic it meant that more time was spent developing the story and the gameplay mechanics and every other little thing that made it stand apart as a game rather than as a piece of art.

I just love it when people applaud new games. It’s the hype that’s speaking. Let time pass time, and you’ll see how wrong you where.
I was like you once. But then, I realised that most of the new games just enter through only one place…”How beautiful they look”. Not by the story, the playability or even the music.
You don’t believe me…? Between this year and last, there’s been three exact, yet slighty different games. “Dragon Age Inquisition”, “The Witcher 3”, “Shadow of Mordor”…
YES, they have their things, but if you put it over a microscope…you’ll see that both three are open worlds, quick plays with “an Awesome story”…
Yet, when you come and see…they’re one and the same. Three games that are good by themselves, but compared, they look like “Let’s do a new game, and only change character names and some of the story”…
So, in retrospective, every year, at least, there’s 2 or 3 releases like these.
YES, I’ve played it, and it bored me to hell. It’s the same game, over and over again. However, I’ve been waiting for a new release like this, that’ll make me dust off once again my PSP, and have a good adventure, like the one I had as little with the awesome and not so popular right now “Digimon World 1″…
So, in retrospective…even comparing “The Witcher 3” with “Digimon Re:Digitize”, is like comparing “The olde good” Simpsons to the new ones. The new ones might have you some laughs, but you still feel like you’ve seen those jokes somewhere else…am I right?

That kind of thing can happen, the typo is relatively understandable. It was in an image, so spell check wouldn’t catch it, and it’s doubtful they had any native English speakers on the dev team. The other one is weirder, but probably just a problem with the way the scrolling text was made. It wasn’t instantly recognizable as wrong, the reverse order kanji looks a lot like a sentence, except that they didn’t mean anything intelligable in that order if you tried to read it. We only caught it because we were having a very hard time translating it before I figured it out. We asked some native speakers, and they couldn’t figure it out either.

Digiworld DS was the first game, Dawn and Dusk were made as sequels. There isn’t as much variety in digimon (but still a fair amount), there are some tweaks to the formula, you don’t reset to level 1 after evolution, not all the functions are in like there’s no fusion/dna, farm islands are a bit more abusive from what I remember since you can keep resetting your tiredness and raising your stats/aptitude, and other than that it’s basically really similar to dawn/dusk.
Championship was hella fun too :) hard to say what my team was exactly though, since the game was on a regular de-digivolution cycle and kept resetting your team

I don’t remember enough about dusk and dawn to tell you about the differences (I only largely played Dawn), but I’m surprised you liked Championship. I thought it was going to be the closest equivalent to a good monster raising Digimon game since Digimon World, but I remember it instead being grindy, repetitive, and the actual monster raising monotonous. While DW had a portion of these flaws, it was much more solid and made more sense. I never seemed to have much control over how my Digimon grew, and training it often seemed slow and futile. I was also not very good at Championship, so maybe that played into it.

Yeah, Dusk/Dawn are two sides of the same coin so to speak, the only difference is if you’re Light or Dark city based, your character sprite, and a few plot details. Dusk and Dawn are in the same world as World DS, but with more digimon, new storyline, and a more polished feel. I liked these games a lot actually, but it’s not even close to the feeling you get from DW or DWRD.

The team is mostly a bunch of interlocking duos. Romsstar and CompCom work together a lot on programming stuff, Romsstar is really good at understanding the crazy proprietary file formats you find in games, but not as good as CompCom at implementing the changes he needs to make. So he figures out what needs to be done and how it works, and then describes it to CompCom who writes the actual code.
Romsstar and I work together on the translating, he’s better at speaking Japanese than I am, though I hope to catch up to him eventually, so he does usually a rough translation which I proofread and start editing.
Kalker and I do the editing together, I tend to have more time for that than he does, since he’s still in high school, and for now I’m on hiatus from college. He does a great job double checking my edits though, because he knows my writing style really well, and is good at pointing out places where something made sense in my head, but doesn’t to anyone else.
There have been relatively few times when we have had significant disagreements about how to proceed, but for the most part, Romsstar and I make decisions together. Things mostly work by concensus, but there’s also something of a chain of command.
The times where we disagree, we discuss the pros and cons of the different options we have, and try to find a solution that everyone is happy with. On the occasions we aren’t able to, I generally defer to Romsstar. He started the project, and to some extent, it will always be a bit more his than anyone else’s.
I’m not going to get into the details of the times we’ve disagreed, though. There’s only one long standing issue on which we could not find a totally satisfactory compromise, and I’d rather not get in to it here. It’s not really a big deal, and we’ve all agreed to disagree about it, but I think going in to detail about it would basically mean having the argument again, except this time with the public taking sides.

I completely obliterated the .hack series and then turned it in as I didn’t think I’d ever play it again /smashes face into desk repeatedly.

It’s a very text heavy game, particularly for a first project, with some truly awful organization that makes it basically impossible to have any sort of context for what you’re translating at any given time. All of the story and NPC text in the game is in a single folder, and every file has a randomly generated four digit string for a file name. Here’s hoping, though.

Yeah. Nothing Anon said was usually so bad that I deleted his comments, and definitely not bad enough to get him banned (that’s not someone imitating him above, it’s the same IP address and email), but they were sometimes pretty borderline. We tend to deal with people like that by letting them say what they like, and then telling them why they’re wrong.
That said, it’s not like we have any particular “rules” in place. At the moment, there are four people including myself with the power to moderate the comments, though Romsstar doesn’t usually bother (For the record, that’s me, Romsstar, Rai, and as of last week, SuperSwordGaming). We all have different thresholds for what needs to go, but we tend to stick with a principle of “don’t be an asshole”, and we apply it to both sides. Rai doesn’t rant at people who don’t have it coming, and people don’t get banned unless they try to disrupt the generally quite enjoyable conversations we have here.

You start off with Agumon, so try to get WarGreymon, when he fades away you’ll get the chance to make him into a Digi Memory, do so and then on your next digimon try for MetalGarurumon. When you have him, set the Digi Memory of WarGreymon to him and he’ll digivolve (you can also do the reverse, and get MetalGarurumon first). You can get Chaosmon the same, but using BanchouLeomon and Darkdramon!

Again thank you for doing this translation guys! When I was about 8 years old I had a pretty agressive form of cancer. And I had to stay home a lot because of it.

Digimon world 1 was the game I first started playing, and I was mesmerized by it.
Digimon world is that one game for me I kept playing at least once a year throughout the years that followed. It gave me hope during a time there was not that much hope to find. I don’t want to sound too sentimental but it means the world to me you guys are doing this incredible translation for everyone to play. I kept thinking to myself as I read this blog from time to time, what I could do to thank you for your work. And since so many trolls seem to try and put you down, telling you my story might show you that for a lot of us are very grateful for the work you keep on putting into this translation.

Bit off topic but since you guys are going to be doing the 3DS version next I was wondering if this was a possibility
I’ve been unable to progress in Kingdom Hearts 3DS because OCD – I could either settle for a lower attack stat, or I could settle for inferior aesthetics. Regrettably, they gave you the TWEWY keyblade like really early on, so it becomes outdated hella quickly. Would it be possible to do a graphic swap so that a stronger keyblade like Ultima Weapon uses the graphic for the TWEWY one? I have a feeling it might just be a simple pointer showing which image to load up for which weapon, if so that should be pretty easy to hack right?

After DW3’s full-on RPG style, I gave up hope that another game in the vein of DW1 would ever be released again.
Que 2011-2012, when I catch wind of Digimon World: Re-digitize. It’s the game I’ve been waiting for! The game I dreamed but thought would never happen! The game… that was never coming to the US. My heart sank. But then I found this blog.

It both is and isn’t sales. These days, you can project sales and potential profits pretty well, especially with a long running series like this one. So you want to pick games to translate that will make a profit, but importantly, you want to use your resources as profitably as possible.
There are way more games made every year than could reasonably be translated. Translators capable of quickly and accurately translating a game are hard to come by, and these days it’s come to be expected that if a game had Japanese voice overs, that the game be dubbed into English as well. Those costs stay relatively flat whether you’re translating a game that sells a few hundred thousand copies, or one that sell millions of copies.
It’s just not possible to translate every game that would make a profit, so companies try to translate the games that will produce the maximum profit for them. Games like these are aimed toward a dedicated niche market, and in this case, that market is much bigger in Japan.

A fair point, Chrona. That kind of thing creates a downward spiral. Every year you get fewer committed fans because they have no new media to enjoy, so you localize few games, so you have fewer fans. Here’s hoping Tri revitalizes things somewhat.
@Anonymous: Things are going pretty well. For some annoying technical reasons, we have had a recurring problem with word wrap, so that in our tools something will look like it’s going to display on two lines, but in game it tries to display it as one, resulting in half the text going off screen. After multiple attempts to fix the problem manually by carefully inspecting every line in the game, I finally came up with a relatively simple way to determine which lines had the problem automatically last night.

@N: Basically, I extracted a copy of all of the game’s text to a series of text files, so that I could use a text crawler to remove some of the extraneous characters, and turn some special characters (like \n which indicates a linebreak) into linebreaks in those text files.
Once that was done, I could use a regex (basically a form of pseudo code used to search text files) to find any line with more than a certain number of characters. The text box can hold about fifty letters per line, though it varies somewhat since some characters are wider than others, but anything with more than about fifty-five characters was a string intended to appear on two lines that needed to be broken in two.
@Xenon: I’ve honestly never heard of Tales of Destiny 2, so that’s probably not going to end up being a project for us. As for different patching methods for different games, it depends on what you mean. From our point of view, every game is different, since most of the time developers just use whatever seems like a good idea at the time. Things get particularly different when moving from one system to another, a 3DS game is very different to hack than a PSP game, for instance.
From the point of view of the end user, there are a few different ways of doing things, but they come down to the same idea. The patch that we or any other group releases is what’s called a binary difference patch. It’s basically a set of instructions that will only work if you already have the game, and it will alter only the files that we modified in the course of our translation. Although there are many potential ways of making a patch like that, most groups use either XDelta, which we will be using. It’s not super user friendly by itself, but there are a number of GUIs made for it to help with that. The other method is an IPS patch, but that’s mostly used for GBA and other old, small games. IPS patches have, if I remember right, a 16 MB limit, which makes it unusable on a 1 GB game like this one.

That’s all. After it’s patched it will still be an ISO and you can put it on CFW PSPs, any device that can emulate PSP gaming, and you won’t have any problem. If you do its either fault of the emulator or device itself. Hopefully that answered any questions you had about the “same console”.

@Salles: Asking for updates near every day is supporting the team?
I think we have different definitions of the word ‘supporting’.
@StarLord: You don’t usually ask games producers/developers near every day for updates on the game.
I understand people, you’re excited for when this is finished and released, but have some patience, all you’re going to do is slow down the patch production and doubly annoy me at the same time to the point where I might actually just start deleting the posts of people who ask for updates.
You don’t ask for updates on a painting, you don’t ask for updates on a book. I honestly don’t see why this should be any different.

Guys, I don’t want to kill the mood with a full blog post, so I’m coming at you here with a probably inappropriate and weird request, but the situation demands it:
Being at the university, working on this project, and the many other obligations I have are really limiting my opportunities to earn money.
So what I would like to ask:
Does anybody know somebody who requires translation work done from English, Russian, Japanese or German into
English, German or Russian? (I’m not translating into Japanese)
Since we clearly stated that we won’t accept any donations this is out of the question, so what I’m asking for is a separate, freelance job.
Is there anything you want or need translated you’d be willing to pay (me) for? Please contact me at romsstar@gmx.de
Thanks everyone.

I do think it’s good that you guys are taking your time. Reception to these fanslations seems to be most positive when there’s lots of testing and double checking. It’s probably better than releasing a half-assed patch and then updating it multiple times (which could maybe cause issues with saves or something).

Salles, I would be completely fine if that was the case. But it’s not. It hasn’t been weeks or some time since there has been any news. It only has been one day!
All people have to do is CTRL + F and search for either “Sporky McForkinspoon says:” or “Romsstar says:”
It’s not hard at all, yet people don’t and just ask constantly for updates every single day. Personally, I feel updates should be said when Romsstar/Sporky feels like it’s necessary, not when everyone else feels like it. Do you know there are translations out there that are still alive, yet barely post updates at all? This translation is one of the more active, and quicker translations out there.

Hey I was wondering if you guys minded after the patch comes out if I were to run a full LP on the game on my Youtube channel while at the same time advertising the project. I own an actual hard copy o the game and everything so theres that at least. Also, sense your testers have had a few run through of the game by now, I was wondering about how long it takes to finish, so I know how many episodes to plan for.

I saw that and couldnt help but smile. Truthfully? I haven’t played more than a few minutes of FF7, mainly because I only had a copy for like a day before it was misplaced when it was new. And I can’t manage to find a copy to play. It’s not that I’m not interested in it, I simply haven’t had a chance. Growing up I always was on a low budget and grew up with limited things as we were pretty poor, I didn’t get a playstation until the PS2 was well into it’s life. Maybe someday I’ll get a copy, or I could find a way to get this remake. But if its PS4 exclusive (unlikely since it said “play it FIRST on PS4”) they’ll have to really work hard to convince me. Xbox one dropped a bombshell that’s making me seriously consider, backwards compatibility is huge when you’re like me and have a loads of 360 games. So we’ll have to see.

Just like original Digimon games. It’s just a piece of important gaming times in my childhood. And I still enjoy playing it time to time. You should buy digital version trough PSN for PS3 or 4, if you can’t find original, they are expensive btw.

So you’re standing up for everyone he’s addressed, you think, but in the end he’s simply fending off the annoyances. Even if they’re new to the blog, I’m fairly certain that they can read. Otherwise, how did they get here? Just like I can scroll through, and you can scroll through, so can they. So he’s justified in pointing out a lack of effort or true care of etiquette. Language and insults aside, I’d say he’s doing a great job. You and the other “defenders” just kinda stoke the fire. It’s like poking a bear with a stick. If his language and methods offend you then why bother reading the comments? You know it’s got the questioners and he’s gonna reply. Or you do if you’ve been following for a while.

Can everyone just calm the fuck down? We make updates here in the comments pretty regularly, and new blog posts whenever we hit a milestone worth talking about, or about once a month, usually both. I don’t honestly understand why people are so intent on having us write up a new post every time we accomplish something; you knowing what we’ve done does not help us finish any faster. As for Rai’s statements, I don’t wholly agree, but he certainly has a point. I wouldn’t ask people to read every comment before asking how we’re doing, but it’s quite common for me to make an update comment, and ten minutes later get someone asking for an update. Try reading the last ten or fifteen posts before you ask a question, and see if it’s been answered in the last three days.
I blame a lot of this on WordPress. It’s just not a very useful tool for the things we have de facto ended up trying to use it for, which is why we will probably be making a new site for future patches after we release this one.

@Sporky McForkinspoon
“I blame a lot of this on WordPress.” – This is the first logical statement I’ve read in these comments. Everyone seems to be missing the bigger picture. The blog posts themselves are really the only published updates we even deserve for this project.
In almost every form of online media, comments are for loosely related discussion and trolls. The fact that you’re using the comments for “updates between updates” is above and beyond what is expected of you. However, these comments were being taken increasingly more serious with each post. This led to the need for moderation; the very nature of the system and community of the comments section on a wordpress blog doesn’t really give you any good options to achieve this. But, nevertheless… Enter Rai.
I’m sure that if you asked your 2013 self to empower an individual to moderate the comments of your blog posts, you would have said that was absurd and unnecessary. Unfortunately, that’s what happened, and your mess of nagging chirps has turned into an endless disarray of internet cock strutting.
Regardless, it’s not your courtesy comment progress updates or this lackluster WordPress community that will bring people to play this game. It’s your work, Romsstar’s work, the whole team’s work that is responsible for that.
Until it’s complete, people will always be back.
@Us
Rai isn’t directly contributing to the completion of this project. Why be concerned with him? When it is complete, I can guarantee that Rai will be playing this game. So will you. It will happen, and at that point we will all be the same and all this forgotten.

Okay, let’s answer some of these outright lies people have been saying.
Grammar nazi? Since when? I’ve never corrected ‘anyone’ on their grammar. Yeah, I’ve pointed it out, but that doesn’t make me a grammar nazi. Just a little hint: Grammar nazis always CORRECT people on their grammar and spelling.
Oh, and I’ve never considered myself, not even stated myself as “self righteous”, so I dunno where you’re getting that from.
Way to state the obvious, bro. Do you think Sporky, and Romsstar are just going to fuck off somewhere because they’re completed the translation patch? No! They’re obviously going to play the game too. But outside of that, I’m already playing it regardless. So your point, is still moot.
Oh okay. So telling someone to search through the posts with CTRL + F + “Romsstar” or “Sporky McForkinspoon” is asking everyone to read 700+ posts? Congratulations Sporky and Romsstar, this guy quite literally just said you had no fans at all.
Are you fucking kidding me with this second point? That’s stupid and incredibly oblivious. Who the hell are you supposed to search? It’s common sense that if you’re going to search for someone in the comments, then you clearly search for people who make the damn blog posts in the first place.
Not everybody wants to be asked/seeing the same question posed every single day about 10 times when they could look at the last few posts, or, again, CTRL + F Sporky or Romsstar.
Now, I’m going to ignore most of More-To-Offer’s post because he’s a butthurt person, probably the same person who came in and started insulting the devs for not playing Witcher 3. Except, for two parts in this post, because they’re hilariously stupid and I really want to point out the stupidity.
I never, ever said I was a “tough moderator”, and if I ever did, it was a ‘joke’. Y’know, like the ‘pitbull in the garden’ thing? It was a joke with the person who said it. Outside of that one instance, I’ve never tried to be a “tough moderator”, I just say what comes to my mind. And if you were here at all near the bloody beginning, you would know I acted this way before I was made moderator. I’m not going to change my ways of talking just because I became a moderator.
Funny you should mention that. That goes in so well with my theory that you’re the Witcher 3 butthurt guy, or a friend of his. But hey, I’ll comment, because that’s really what you want, right?
Okay first of all, “But you’re on the blog waiting for the game”, I said that twice, to the same guy. Again, you’re him, aren’t you?
And second, “Or not being accepted on the blog period” I’ve never said that, or anything like that, so please, do stop shoving your hand up your ass and bringing out bullshit, because it’s really not good for your health.

Not at the moment, though I imagine you could make it work with WinE. In the alternative, you can patch it the old fashioned way with Multipatch, but it will be less user friendly.
I’ll ask Rom to look in to making Mac and *nix builds of the patcher, but I don’t want to make any promises.

Hey guys, I was just wondering what the Botamon wearing the hat does? He/She/It is standing near the Meat Farm, and I got it in my head that He/She/It sold meat, since my Greymon was basically eating me out of house and home, so I spent all my Bits on Botamon, and realized I didn’t get any meat, or anything that I can tell. Not really sure what he does, I also noticed the price changed on it each day when I went back to try and figure out what he does.
LikeLike
June 18, 2015 at 5:03 pm
It’s a little complicated. He runs a game thing called “meat futures”. Basically, you buy meat at whatever the price is today, and get it in three days. If the price goes up in that time, you can sell it for profit, if it doesn’t you just keep it and feed it to your Digimon or whatever (technically, you always have both options). But the winning move is not to play. The meat always costs way more than it does to just buy it from the Digimon over to the right, and the price fluctuates pretty randomly, so over the long term, you’ll pretty much break even.
Anyway, yeah, like I said, you want the Digimon over to the right. I can’t think of which it is early in the game, but I know later it’s Palmon after you help her get back from the swamp.

Thanks for the explanation. I probably never would’ve guessed that, at least I know I can still go back to him and get some meat, so I didn’t just waste all my Bits. I probably won’t bother buying from him, since most times I’m going to need the meat pretty quick (atleast at this point) as they seem to eat a lot more then DW1, and more often.

By the way, will someone translate Digital Monster Ver. S Digimon Tamers game for Sega Saturn one day? It’s because sega saturn was one of my favourite consoles of all time when i was a kid, has only one digimon game for it and it’s in japanese, I think that It could be fast to translate since it doesn’t has any story, it’s more a digimon pet game with battles and stuff but I’m totally crazy for all digimon games, hope wonderswan digimon games could be translated one day too, It is fairly easy to play in japanese but in english would be other special thing.
