I was wondering... Would anyone find a text hacking utility for this game useful?
A hacker asked me to help him with the compression in this game so I
wrote up a utility to handle the text and compression for him. Once he is done
with it, I was thinking on releasing the util and possibly the source code. Smiley

Just wondering...

Sounds cool. I would just submit the source to the database.

Yeah I'd say submit it, chances are someone will use it, or at least find the source code useful.

Do you think it could work for Dragon Quest III as well? I'm not keeping my hopes up but I just want to ask. :/

Nah. I doubt it. The compression routine has been americanized so to say.
The routine is different from DQ4. So I'm sure it will not work.

 Hey, I might be interested in it. What type of compression scheme is it?

Yeah, I didn't think it would work. :/ But asking never killed anyone. :P

DW3 isn't compressed
don't know if the japanese version is.
DW2 on the other hand...

Wouldn't surprise me. I hear it almost didn't get translated, since Enix was apparently stuck with the existing ROM space (the previous 3 used expanded ROM). Wonder if that's why DW5 didn't come out?
