Who said anything about not translating it into English? The author didn't make it specific exactly what language he wanted to translate it to. It's out in many European languages too. Still, he needs to more specific about what language he wants to translate it to.

Except for the fact that he apologizes for his English at the end of his post. I've never known a native speaker apologize for misusing his mother tongue. Maybe his accent, but accents don't translate to ones and zeros on t3h innerw3b. Did you even read his post?

magarcan, I'm not really familiar with ASFs, but a quick google search seems to suggest they're a video/audio format. That might be why you're not finding any text. It's also possible that the ASFs on the disc are a proprietary format, maybe even compression.

Binary (.bin) files don't really denote anything other than data. It's possible the text is in one of the .bin files, but it's equally possible that it's not. You could try checking the files in a hex editor that's capable of viewing standard Japanese encoded text and see if it's using a standard format.

"It's out in European languages too" perhaps you missed when I said that. English isn't the only European language, and I think you should read through my post before telling me to do so to yours.

There's several European languages that will never get an official translation.

Cut it out, you two. Help the guy. Go fight elsewhere.

Official Okami's languages are, English (USA), English (UK), Japanese, German and French. Spanish (we are European too  Angry) has no offical translation.

You can look inside the ASF's using programs like "AFS Extract 7.1.3 Beta 5" (developed for Pro Evolution Soccer) and others. With this you can extrack and import files, so you olso can edit files.

I tought .bin files could be language files because of it (I use PAL version that includes English, French and German languages):


Can anyone help me??? Thanks

redcomet gets ownzerd by rai? shocking!

anyway, so what's in the bin files? i would imagine that it would be ascii-like text. if so, you should be able to put a table together easily enough, and there you go.

This is an example of the content in "r100_e.bin"


I have all text in English of the game, I use the "Search Relative" and I can't find any result. I think two thing, one, they are no the text files, or two, test are compressed.

Like you said, there is a possibility that they're just not the text files. If you search most of the files, and don't find any text, it's definitely compressed.

You could try seeing if you can emulate the game in PCSX2 so you can do a trace before any text is loaded and find out how it does it, and what files it accesses, etc.

The problem is that game can't be emulated. Thank you
