So for a few days i've been hacking at Brave Story for the PSP.
Seems like an ok game to start with for psp translation.
I have finally figured out the table and encoding and such.
I can not read or understand Japanese.
I hope this game is worth translating.
Here are some strings from a chunk of the game hex.
I would think they would be in the Main Menu.
The font in this game is stylised so I can hardly make out the characters.

EDIT: DANKE on IRC came up with these translations:
おためし鳥通信 = Otameshi Carrier Pidgeon Lodge
ブラウザ = Browser
ランカの町 = Ranka Town
ランカの森 = Ranka Forest
グランデラ川渡し場 = Darandara River Ferry Landing.
おためしの森 = Otameshi Forest
サーカワの郷 = Saakawa Village
芸術の町　リリス = Art Town Ririsu
海岸の洞窟 = Coastal Cave
トリアンカ廃病院 = Torianka Abandoned Hospital
国境の関所(ボグ～ササヤ) = Nation Border Barrier (Bogusasaya)
おためしのほら穴 = Otameshi Cave Enterance
盗賊のアジト = Thief's Hideout
ルルドの天文台 = Rurudo Observatory
砂漠の町　ワーハディーナ = Desert town Waahadiina
砂漠の遺跡 = Desert Ruins
Desert Ruins
I guess thats probably enough for now, tho I have alot more.

THANK YOU.
I only speak/read english like um most people in north america.
I sure like japanese games tho.
THANK YOU!!!

I'll just keep this up as my project page for now I guess.
Anyone who reads japanese, I have alot to text you could help with. 
Later guys,

How did you manage to create a table for this psp game. what kind of compression does it have?

Well if you don't like disclose it, it isn't like anyone of use can figure it out.

Really? Our C++ teacher told us it was so he would know who sent the program in. =/

But yeah, there really isn't any benefit from holding the information to yourself. I have no idea how many compression formats are used by PSP games, but if anything, releasing the information to the public would probably build your reputation, as well as help others already willing to work on PSP translations. It most likely wouldn't spawn a wave of half-arsed attempts or anything.

yes if you can hack psp games and rip scripts please due tell since i have about 8 id love to translate and just need a hacker for!

If you remember to put them in, in the first place! XD I rarely put comments on my stuff (mainly because I know no one's really going to touch it except me...). But yes... Specially in this large RPG I was doing a while ago on RPGMaker (not friendly, really), the whole thing was uncommented... I sorta couldn't pick it back up so... Yeah...

For some reason, comments in Game Maker can actually mess the program up! O.o o.O I dunno why just yet but I'm going to try and figure the mystery out...
