Anybody able to help identify the kanji?
Each character has two parts. The first is an outline, probably used for intro and/or battle text.
The second is the actual character.
There might be a couple blocks I haven't properly decoded (I know one of the blocks that didn't dump correctly was the kana, but I can identify those. Cheesy).

Thanks for any help.
Thanks BRP for the first 256. Smiley

I've used radical lookup and Global IME to fill in most of the remainder of the table.
Could use some help with the last ones.

KingMike,

You can try to use the Japanese IME. It's really easy to use. Use the handwriting function and you will be able to find all your kanjis.

Thanks, I'll have to try that later. (working on figuring out the script format. It's compressed in a way I haven't seen before, but I think I've got the code figured out.
Hopefully, just decompressing it is enough and I can make the game use decompressed text.

Here's the idea in pseudo C code:
Code:
unsigned char check_byte;
unsigned byte oldX = 0;
boolean read_bit = read_bit_from_rom;
if (read_bit = 0)
{
   newX = readDecryptionTable1[ oldX ];
   check_byte= readCheckTable1[ high_5_bits_of_oldX ] >> 7-(low_3_bits_of_oldX);
}
else
{
   newX = readDecryptionTable2[ oldX ];
   check_byte= readCheckTable2[ high_5_bits_of_oldX ] >> 7-(low_3_bits_of_oldX);
}
oldX = newX;
if check_byte != 0, check next bit and repeat loop
else use newX in script
Is this Huffman? Given that it loads one bit at a time, and keeps repeating until it gets a 0, not to mention that it reads a different set of tables depending on the bit read, sounds kinda like it.

I've almost finished the table, just a couple dozen that I couldn't wager a guess on (hopefully won't be too many errors, but I'd hope they could be fixed if any potential translator ever comes). Smiley
I'd really appreciate it if anybody can identify these.

餓魃魅霊燈醜？
将直並蜂矛亀胸
潜養重職希？修
熱？皮師琥珠愛
牙柳？？魂？痛
貴？垂

You know, for all the kanji they put in there, they could have afforded a few more pixels.

Thanks alot.

I'm guessing the limited pixels is because they slap an outline character around them in the intro and battle scenes.

Have you figured out if it was huffman yet? It looks like it. Mind If I Have a look at the asm log? Are you considering re-compressing use the same scheme?

It probably was, and I did succesfully decompress the script. I was able to make the game load an uncompressed version (at least the block I tested it with).
(I think I posted a shot of some changed text in the screenshots thread).

  ARGH! Compression is ourfriend! Smiley You, GZ and a few others LOVE loading uncompressed scripts.
I hated myself for doing that in JustBreed. I wish I would have kept the compression active... Sad
