I decompressed the rom with ndstool, but all I got was a bunch of NARC / ARC files. What are they exactly? Any way to open them?

I'm adequate in rom hacking, it's just I don't understand WHAT to translate. Has anyone else partially / completely translated a DS game?

Just look through the files like through a normal ROM. If you expected txt files you should propably go back and read that site I linked to.

The files can be in any format the programmer wanted them to be in. We aren't dealing with an operating system here.

I also got AAR files. Tongue (With, I think, Jump Ultimate Stars)

That's the reason why you'd need to go through it using a hex editor and making a table for it, correct?

O_O Mean, but why though? Nowadays, aren't kids more likely to go for Naruto? At least it seems to be "the rage" even with college students. Sad I find nothing so incredibly attractive about...
