Hello. My name is Bladerain. I am attempting to translate Baka To Test To Shoukanjuu Portable that was once worked on by FShadow but he disappeared in 2018 and none of his members seemed to have showed up. They left some files and etc in the original thread https://gbatemp.net/threads/baka-test-portable-english-translation-project.370054/ and I am trying to retrace their steps and try to complete this project. Best I found was some mention of tools they used and the translations FShadow did for Menu and Options.
Browsing in the web, I managed to extract the CPK files for the script as mentioned in the original thread. I have attempted to open these with notepad and found some symbols and Japanese text. These files are named 0-84. Assuming 0 to be the menu, options, etc, I assume these files 0-84 are the 74 story scripts and the 10 board game scripts as mentioned in the original post. I need help. Advise, suggestions or help in trying to extract the contents so we can modify the script, insert them into the game and whatnot.
I also made a discord server to help with the project. Please join in if you would like to help or would just like to say hi.

Project Status:
So far, I only managed to extract the scripts. I am currently searching a way to try and modify them or view them so I could do some translations. We already have a video of the tutorial and some menu translations so I could insert those first.

I am a bit tired of waiting for FShadow or any of it's members to show up since they disappeared in 2018. It's 2022 now and nearly 2023. The series ended years ago yet I would still like to play this game. I'm a bit stubborn but I'd like to request help and advice once more on how to tackle this project.
I've done some more work and it seems I need someone who can make tools like the ones CompCom made for script and images. I need to somehow be able to extract the scripts and images to edit and translate them then I can put them back. I lack the technical knowledge though.
