Time to analyze the code! What do you think, everyone?

Uuuugh this hurts me head. sad

I know a fair amount of programming myself, mostly C and C++. I've been at it for years. Considering that I felt kinda like I should be helping with the project more, but I'm pretty busy with a project of my own(not related to the franchise) that I've been at long before I even came here. Because of that I'm pretty slow when helping others, and I don't like making people wait on me when they'd want to move on with their work. It's kinda the reason why I didn't post on this topic before, I don't know what to add really.

Even though my knowledge of assembly is extremely basic, having only done some assembly shaders for OpenGL, I'm gonna keep track anyway, maybe I'll have something useful to say.

Till then, all I can do is to wish the best with the project.

Im confused what was that supposed to do? :/

It's a part of the game program in machine code, with its corresponding assembly code.
We can hardly go anywhere if we don't figure out what controls displaying the dialogue and the sprites/images.

oh ok

I haven't actually read this entire thread until now because of the lack of faith in people's understanding of what's actually involved. Unfortunately that pessimism proves rather accurate.

Apart from occasional posts from RollingMeowCat where she's able to express a vague understanding of what actually goes into romhacking and game translation, this entire thread is a shining example of everything not to do in romhacking and translating a game to the point the only person who had has actually physically contributed anything of use and taken any baby steps into the deep ocean that IS romhacking, and not get very far, is RollingMeowCat. Literally everything else is either irrelevant, or giving up at the first step.

And for a split second I thought you were here to help or offer some proper insight, but it appears I assumed wrong.

As far as this goes, I don't post my progress on here until I feel it's worthy to be posted. I'm also no newbie when it comes to rom hacking. Translation patch? Yeah sure, first time but I've also learned quite a bit along the way.

I'm also quite very busy and all, running this site, fixing up the main site, and a VERY busy personal life, so I do as much on the weekends whenever I have time off, I don't have time to just sit back and work on the game. I have very limited knowlegde of Japanese as well so yeah I have to rely on dictionaries and help from others, so if it's slow, it's slow, but this is far from dead. If you can manage to finish your translation project before we do, then great awesome fantastic pat your yourself on the back, more power to you and all that jazz.

Not really seeing where you're going with your post other than being arrogant and criticizing our process.

You miss the point that effort and time is expended in all the wrong areas; thus effectively making no progress.

I've iterated that RollingMeowCat is the one walking in the right direction in regards to this.

Editing screengrabs and re-using someone else's translations without a source or validation of whether they're accurate or not isn't. It's not a case of being arrogant or not, it's a case that only one person's efforts thus far are actually contributing in a group effort.

Even if I were to offer my help, I can't offer help towards something where no progress was generally made in the first place.

-So you decided to pick at edited screengrabs that was done as a sort of concept that were done nearly a year ago? Okay then.

-Me and RollingMeowCat are the only two working on this project, with others offering help whenever and whenever they can. Just because we don't our progress every five seconds doesn't mean we're not making progress.

-That is why we use several translations and a dictionary and compare and review everything since I have limited knowledge and Rolling knows more of it than I do, is something that takes time.

-I have nothing to say to the rest, because it's just merely speculation and a waste of time.
