There is a SNES game I'm looking at translating that includes some spoken dialogue. How difficult is it to locate/change this audio? There are subtitles, so it would not be absolutely necessary to do this for the translation to be useful, but I would like to do it if possible. I'm pretty sure something similar was done (or at least attempted) with Tales of Phantasia, but I wasn't interested in that project, so I never followed it closely. So, anywayz, I suppose my question is.... Is it reasonably possible to swap out SNES audio samples?

There's a program called SNESSOR that can extract and replace SPC samples from most any game... you could possibly use that to replace the voice samples you need. I planned on using it in Ashita No Joe.
I think the Windows 95 version doesn't replace samples, so it was probably the DOS one that did. It's been years since I've used it, so my memory may be fuzzy.

I don't mind the vocal sample swaps as long as the vocals are good...
Well, SNESSOR would extract samples, but because I'm a PPC Mac user, I don't have knowledge of the application. Sorry.

Yeah, only the DOS SNESSOR lets you reinsert sound effects. They also have to match the length of the original sound samples; it only futzes with the sound data, not the pointers aimed at it.

The only SNES dubbing I can think of was with RPGONE's Miracle Girls translation. |

If you're on a PPC Mac, hacking's going to be uphill for you in most respects.

If I remember, the voice samples were lost in the infamous HD crash. And neither Tomato nor DeJap had the energy to redo all the work. |

Tales of Phantasia was fandubbed also. A quite pleasant dub, I liked it and played the game my second time using it  |

What do you mean by uphill? In terms of it's going to be more difficult?

Quite. There's very few, if any, romhacking tools for the Mac. Now that there's Intel Macs which can run Windows it's not so bad, though. |

I see. Oh well...
I'm not going to an Intel Mac anytime soon, since I wish to keep OS 9 support. That goes double for not upgrading to Leopard.
However, I've found a tile editor for Java, so that works for me on an OS X.
