Slime Mori Mori Dragon Quest: Shōgeki no Shippo Dan translation question

[DrakeLyon]

Been waiting forever for an English translation to this wonderful DQ game (Slime Mori Mori Dragon Quest: Shōgeki no Shippo Dan). I always enjoyed playing Rocket Slime on the DS and I still look forward to playing the translated Slime Mori Mori Dragon Quest 3 title.

I've only seen a remnant of a ghost for a translation of this GBA title floating around. By now, that's truly sad to see such wasted efforts.
However, I'm not convinced that I've searched every corner of the internet. Has anybody else here had any luck finding an English translation for this game?

I'll post everything I've found so far here:
This GBAtemp thread mentions a fan project at aeon genesis that seems now-defunct. I PMed Normmatt, who claimed to be the original creator of this translation patch, but have yet to hear anything back.
I did find this, however, which seems to be a much more recent translation project of the game. I've reached out to them to see if there are any updates and if I can assist in its completion.

I got tired of waiting and just played on retroarch with AI on screen translation. Not like the text metters too much.

Is there no guide for this either?. Gamefaqs just has a user created faq thread.

 

[choconado]

has there been any word on this since last update?

I remember that this was one of the most anticipated and coveted translation projects of AGTP. Unfortunately, of this one, as of other titles, there is no more news, and all those who dared to ask something about them on their Discord were immediately attacked and kicked out, with no possibility of reply, which is intolerable and completely incomprehensible. On this point, Gideon's usually open and helpful attitude has undergone an abrupt upheaval, unexplained to this day.

One would think that with the recent explosion of AI - especially AI models that can be run at home - that more translations would be coming out at a faster rate.
The AI model I run at home can translate Japanese Twitch chat in real-time.
Shouldn't be too hard for someone experienced in the ROM translation realm to dump the cart/game, toss the text into an AI for initial translation, edit that translation to reflect the language/culture they're translating it to, and then re-write the ROM with the new translation, bearing in mind spacing on the screen, fonts, etc.
