Hey, I'm looking for people to help me translate a great tactical RPG called Dark Half for SNES. Klepto Software released a partial translation and appear to be dead with it so I'm coming to you guys on the forum. I think the game shows potential.

For info contact me at my x-fire or my email, preferably my x-fire

The translating on my part is dead as I can't figure a damn thing out about japanese and don't have the patience to learn. Here is the source as I've only found some romanji sylables and is overall probably useless to anyone but I'm releasing the source anyway. So here.

The project as it stands is very, very, dormant.  I have little to no free time now... 27 years old with a kid and a full time job.  Most of the work on this was done when I was 20.  I've probably forgotten most of what I knew about it.

Now for the exciting stuff... We expanded the ROMH and FH decompressed the 8x8 font in it.  AnusP helped decompress the into.  I remember translating it and putting it in the game, but if my life depended on it couldn't tell you where in the rom we tucked that sucker away at.  The game's text has actually been decompressed about 99% (minus name pointers) and if you have a copy of the hacked rom, it's all sitting in there.

At one point, I had a table file for the english 16x16 and 8x8 fonts.  I also had control codes for line breaks, beginning and ending dialogue boxes, changing text colors, and calling battles with specific creatures.  It's probably all in a notebook and some floppies that I'm sure I still have, but would have to go searching for. 

There have been several points at which this project hit a major stall.  After working on the game for about a year, I lost contact with my original two translators and haven't heard from either of them since.  Shopped the script around, but couldn't find anyone to work on it.  The script dump and table files for the Japanese font were lost when my old Mac died.  At one point I had given all of this to ChrisRPG (RIP) and he was working on it, but I don't believe any of the work he had on it was shared.  If there were any copies of it out there, I'd certainly love to see it.  If anyone REPUTABLE wants to pick up the project and work on it, siryoink at guh-eeh-mail dot com.  If I don't know who you are, please don't bother asking.
