Unofficial translation from Japanese in progress!!!!

[edea]

Trangen group is making an English translation of KH RE:CoM.
Please express your support or if you can help in anyway, say it in the forums there.

The page is: Transgen
The project has just started, but it's very promising!

Spread the word in other KH forums, with little luck maybe there's somewhere another person able to speak English and Japanese with enough computer knowledge and ready to help.

How we play it then? Is it on emulator or what the ****?

Since AE is going to screw everyone over by not releasing the game in English I support this effort :thumbup:

 

[Agent007]

Well this should be cool. I dont know how to change my deck around so hopefully this helps!

Same, here. Anyone got an explanation on how exactly they plan to implement the translations?

@Agent007: If you mean changing the positions of cards inside your deck, then you just have to use the triangle button to do so, just like you would use the A button on the GBA.

I guess you have to back up the game with dvd decrypter and then add a file to it. I cant find detailed instructions though. Arggh this sucks. I'd love to do it but the directions are not that clear. Here they are

KH 2 Re: Chain Of Memories Fan Translation Partial Patch FAQ/Notes:

Here comes a "partial translation" of this great action-rpg game!
This is a list of the things that this patch translates:

-Game menu "Deck menu options and features"
-Some system messages "Mostly save and load menu,and other messages"
-Cards Names "All kind of cards: world,abilities and items"
-Location display
-Level up screen
-Display of skills (dual/triple) in combat


And this is what is not translated:

-Dialogue script
-Events
-Tutorial
-Special card/list display messages
-Miscellaneus system messages
-Titlescreen Main Menu
-Config options
---------------------------------------

FAQ

Q-The menu display is a bit out of the boxes,what happened!?
A-The game is in need of a VWF hack (Variable width font hack),but right now,
we haven't got anyone in our time with asm knowledge,so we can't insert
that hack into the game.

Q-Why do you have released only a partial translation instead of
a full translation?
A-There are lotsa of problems that this game has,like the False Toc that
prevent us from extract and insert the game's files.No one has coded a tool
capable to handle square-enix's false TOC trick.And also we're lacking translators right now.

Q-Why some letters like the "g,q and p" are so horrible!?
A-Blame the programmers,they had terrible draw abilities,my god...

This covers just a bit portion,for more support,lease check our forum,and look for the
"KH Re: Chain Of Memories Project" thread:

 

[Shadow Fenix]

Well someone can give them that Translation guide here, it's in KH2FM+ section

 

[Agent007]

Well what this does is translate the menu in the actual game. It's not a guide. Alright I made an ISO with MagicISO and now I am going to try the game out. We'll see what happens!!

 

[Martine]

And exactly how do we do this?
How are we supposed to get the translations into the game? I have KHII:FM+, but I don't understand..

 

[Agent007]

just make a backup of re:com w/ MagicISO, get PP OMatic and the file at transgen's site. Then aply the patch to the game and burn it!

 

[Leonard]

Wow, have you already tried it out, Dan? (Only if they already finished the modification of course xD)

 

[Agent007]

yes I did!! It's really cool. It makes the game really easier.

Heres a vid!!

There ya go! I have the file from Transgen saved if anyone needs it. Last I looked, the site was down.

 

[*~NeoAdamus~*]

Weren't there sites that translated every scene of the game, i think ill check when i get the time to

 

[9890]

Is this even legal? If it is, then I still couldn't give a rats ass, learn Japanese.

 

[Agent007]

Why would it be illegal for someone to translate a game so they can understand it better? If you read it carefully, it tells you that you need to make a backup of the original game and add a patch to it. Now this patch basically just translates the menu to English and the name of the cards. Why wouldnt that be legal? I bought fm+ made a backup and now the game is more enjoyable. I'd say thats a little easier than learning Japanese.

 

[*~NeoAdamus~*]

i think their is a difference with learning Japanese for a game or getting a quick translation

besides, Gamefaqs has ppl who use translations for many games

 

[rmco2003]

I'm working on the patch for Re:CoM alongside the leader of this project.

I reckon it'll be a while before it'll be 100% complete, there's still a lot of work to do, but it's progressing well.

My main topic about it is here:

Re:CoM Translation Project

I've been able to find the text for the cutscenes and have translated the first two. After that pcsx2 crashes so I haven't gone any further yet.

I have a few screenshots of my progress here:
