This project idea is dead to lack of interest in people want to actually join the project. Sorry but shit happens
輪廻月姫 (Rinne Tsukihime) is an officially licensed Windows program made by inside-cap/ 帽子屋インサイド that allows you to convert your PC copy of tsukihime into a Gameboy Advance rom.
I would like to start a romhacking project with the goal import Mirror Moon's English script into the rom and to the bypass the rom's annoying DRM
A full write up on the rom's drm (Japanese)
When I spoke to the man who was in charge of inside-cap(2000-2005) and he told me this
Rough translation
In order for the user to continue the play the game, we have created a security/ DRM mechanism to pair with the mothership, Windows.
However, if the user is able to play on the actual GBA machine, then this troublesome authentication can be skipped.
The rom is able to determine whether you are playing on an emulator or the actual machine!
The determination method is a secret, and so far I don't know of any emulator that has been able trick and skip the cleared the security/ DRM mechanism.
My part in the project will be as a technical assistant and a graphic designer.
I've spent the money buying Rinne Tsukihime disc off of https://www.suruga-ya.jp and have uploaded it to archive.org with instruction on how to get it working. If you are interested in the project please reply to this thread.

これは、先に述べたコピー問題と関係があります。
ユーザーがプレイ実行を継続させるために、母艦となるWindowsとのペアリングする仕組みを作りました。
しかし、もしGBA実機でプレイすることができれば、この面倒な認証をスキップすることができます。
このプログラムは、実行環境がエミュレータか実機であるかを判別していました!
判定方法は秘密で、今のところエミュレータでこの判定をクリアしたものは知らないです。
