Welp... bad news -_- turns out I was not allowed to make a post for somebody else in the forums and it turns out what I did was considered advertising -_- Thus having the topic deleted. But! The thing is, if we were to keep the updates rolling it is not considered advertising in the fan games and programs section Though the thing is you need to sign up on the site (I swear you can register for free) :-/ but you need to post on the section called "Fan Games and Programs" Though you do need to keep updating every couple of weeks so that fans know that the project is alive.

Checked the game ROM again, it actually lacked the English fort we can make use of!
We should extract font from the other 2 GBA games - Empire of Dreams/Dream Champ Tournament first,or use another available font.

Maybe we could use the font that Tomato used on his MOTHER gamesok sorry for bumping one more time but they said we cannot do a recruiting on the site as it's against the rules but they did say if I post enough and add the project as a signature ad then it's okay.... I just need somebody to design the signature for the project and I will show it everywhere I go

This might come in handy - http://mother3.fobby.net/blog/ development blog of MOTHER 3 fan translation.
I guess he made the font by himself?

What I've seen of the font seems to take inspiration from EarthBound/MOTHER 2's official translation, if not directly ripped from it. Something similar to Empire of Dreams or Dream Champ Tournament games could work.

Most likely. And since DCT uses the same engine as EoD, I'm guessing that's interchangable with each other. But that's irrelevant; trying to use those fonts is what I'm interested in.

And I think I'll make an account there. Perhaps I can get some help from those guys, if they're willing to help me.

The translation requires at least 2 forts; Just take a look at the screenshot of the game.

However, it seems names of equipments/items is up to 8 letters. And we still need to draw some letters/symbols by ourselves.

Most likely. I'm just doing the coding, if anyone wants to do some sprite/font editing, be my guest.

[RollingMeowcat]

But I've heard about the process of translation won't involve too much coding, you just have to deal with lots and lots of hexadecimals. So finding suitable forts and editing sprites should be done first.

Now that I got some priorities set down, I think can resume work on it again. Dr. Cat, You seem to be quite knowledgeable, could you see if you can find me some decent fonts? I'm going to your friends' forum to what tools would be needed for GBA hacking and which would be the best to use.

[RollingMeowcat]

Forts? I can try, but you don't have to call me a doctor. ^_^
I just happen to know people in China had made a lot of translations, and I even saw DtP remake got translated in Chinese before! There's a powerful tool called crystaltile2 made by them, but it crashes often, and only incompletely-translated English version can be found.
Another thing: MOTHER3 fan team's blog may be useful.So I wanna say/ask:
1.Should the license of a fort be considered?
2.We can make a separate .ips patch, but I don't know how to do it yet.

[the_darai]

Can I haz a link to both?
