I was recently talking to Deuce on AIM, and for whatever reason he linked me to a video of an Ys III port on the PS2. I said I would think about picking it up, then he mentioned the text was just SJIS. So I grabbed it, opened up a few files, and found a bunch of text. Character, location, and item names, item descriptions, and shop text. I've translated them all, and inserted most of it. However, I can't find any of the main text in the game. Deuce told me that Gideon once asked him to translate the script, but he refused. He also said Gid showed him a script dump. I can't seem to find the script.
Now, the majority of the size of the disc comes from two .bin files. I can't find any text in them, so I imagine they're archives with other files in them. I know I'll probably get flamed for this, and frankly, I don't care. Ys III is one of my favorite games, and I'd like to translate the script myself. But could someone help me get a way to extract/insert the script files, or show me a way to do it myself (and hopefully one that doesn't involve someone saying "Go learn programming language X")?

I can't help, unless you give me the game. In which case I still won't be able to help, unless if I get really lucky or you want moral support. But I can say you should give me this patch or whatever you're trying to create when you're done, thanks you rock  |

The only suggestion I can give is to ask Gideon, then. |

Wait, do we have PS2 emulators finally?

There's been PCSX2 for years, though I'm not certain about compatibility.
My PC's only good enough to average about 60% speed in FFX.
... though I remember when I was lucky to get even 2 FPS.

I enthuse about Ys and would like to help, but I can't  However, I can at least say, this is awesome; and, PS2 emulation is largely dependent on your gaming rig. My brother runs a lot of PS2 games at full-speed with occasional slowdown expected from an emulator emulating stuff at this generation (such as with large effects). It's usually a game of messing with various plug-ins and even versions of the emulator. (personally I would just mod the PS2 to run backups myself...) |

 I've determined that the way to tell when a file starts is by searching for the NAXA5010 at the top of the file. DaMarsMan seems to think that the numbers from 0x37 until 0x5E are a 32-bit pointer table. I've tried searching for addresses in many ways to see if this is correct; it doesn't seem like it. Is anyone familiar with this form of compression at all? Anyone? Bueller? ~DS |

Those *are* 32-bit pointers. You need to read up on your PS1 memory mapping, sonny-my-boy!
