Okay, this is going to be my first hack ever T_T...

I've dumped the files for the game; using DSLazy, and now I have no idea where to start. I tried finding the in-game scripts, and couldn't find them; and I tried using Wincode to decode the images encoded in binary, didn't work out; so now I'm stuck...

Any help, or give me a place to start?

If this is your first, you should start with something simpler. Trying to hack a DS game first time out is like trying to armwrestle Schwarzenegger after a day at the gym. Try a GBA game instead: much of the same hardware mechanics are there (AFAIK).

Not to discourage you from doing Subarashiki, though. Square seems content to let this one remain Japan-only. Do you have any knowledge of Japanese? I.e., can you at least read the hiragana and katakana and identify kanji? If not, then you're really starting too early. Even if you intend to get someone else to do the translation, it pays to know the basic mechanics of the language.

The next would-be huge game to release for the system will be Square-Enix's "Subarashiki kono sekai" (a Square-Enix representative at the Square-Enix Party event a few weeks back specifically told us not to officially refer to the game as "It's a Wonderful World", as that name is already copyrighted and will not be used in America), something of a brawler with RPG and rhythm elements.

Sounds like it might be coming this way in the future.

I have 4 years of experience(Or around that), don't worry about me; I'm sure I can get a decently accurate translation done.

I don't know of any GBA games that I'd like to try though... Well, possibly Klonoa Heroes since I've never even played it; but I still have no idea what I'm doing...

Eh, even if it is coming, they're going to do something to it. Possibly dub the voices, rather than keeping them T_T; but if it's coming, I could do something else... Like Tales of the Tempest? I'm pretty sure that won't make it here. =P

I still want to do this though... I mean, if it's difficult, and I get it right; I should be able to get the next one right... Right?

Just a small update: I just got Taxhaxan, and it doesn't seem to be working... But the creator said:

"Hi!

I've developed an app to help mostly with translation of games, but possibilities are endless. It's called Tahaxan, and let you extract any file of any DS ROM file, decompress it if needed (some files come compressed) and (most interesting) display detected palette / image / tiles files. File detection is baed on simple XML plugins (with Lua embedded) that you can edit to support more games without having to wait for another release.

Currently the app is in BETA phase, so you know what it means. Lot's of bugs!!

I don't know if I'm allowed to post URL's (because this could be called publicity, although I'm not earning a single penny), so check my homepage in my profile to go to Tahaxan website, where you can download it and found more info (like tutorials, being written at this very moment, though)

Hope you'll find it useful!!"

So, I'm guessing I could use this.. If I can get it to work

Edit: Got it to work Grin

Edit 2: Don't think I can use it for this game ;~;

Hm... hi.
I'm new here, and well that was just to post up something in this thread.

I don't know if I'm allowed to do that or anything, but here's somebody's script.
http://www.gamebrink.com/nintendo-ds/3983-subarashiki-kono-sekai-its-a-wonderful-world-guide-1

I didn't read the thread at all (sorry), but well, you could maybe ask that person to use his/her script just there?
It sure could be helpful.

And I thank you deeply for translating Subarashiki Kono Sekai, really o_o, I'm playing it and I don't have a clue of why I'm doing this and that.

He's working on the project with me as a translator now, and that guide doesn't have all of the text for the script.
