ROM Hack Suggestion AIR / エアー Key/Prototype LayeredFS English Mod port?

[mathew77]

Hello guys!

Some days ago, famous visual novel «AIR» by Key / Prototype has been released at JP eShop. There's no English here, and no news of Western release at all, but there are many custom English mods already available:

https://vndb.org/v36
https://kazamatsuri.org/series-info/air/
https://forum.kazamatsuri.org/t/a-list-of-all-air-visual-novel-patches-and-how-to-install-them/550

Unfortunately, they're all for PC / other platforms version of the game only.

Maybe someone is interested enough to port in to Switch version? It's TID is 0100ADC014DA0000 btw if you need it.

Kek, just started doing it.

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

Finished already scenario (de)compiler.

Figured out how to make images. Compression will be lost, but at least they will be working.
Issue is I can't find a way to convert all original images to something readable. Format is complicated.
Game is using various Key Image Compression Formats from CZ0 to CZ5 (CZ0 is uncompressed, CZ1 and further are compressed. All images above CZ1 base on CZ1 compression with additional tweaks).
GARBro is the most advanced one supporting from CZ1 to CZ3. Sadly this won't suffice for all images I want.

Scenario seems to be 1:1 with PSP version, so injecting text is quite easy.

Amazing! The more Key VNs I get to enjoy on the Switch the better. XD

You can follow script updates here:

I won't share any beta until script is complete (except for additional chapter from Vita as it's not translated) because updating script results in saves pointing to some fragments not working anymore (after choosing affected save it goes back to main menu).

I've been wondering for sometime now, whether to play on pc or switch, so this is a nice surprise thanks. Definitely will keep track of it
