Hello, a user requested me to add this game to my cheat databases, along the way I noticed a mistake in your patcher and you guys used a bad dump as a base for this translation patch. You labeled the ROM needed by the number 4737 when it's supposed to be 4738.


Now I will provide information on the dump you guys used for this patch and which base you should use.

I will also provide a fix patch so you can correct the bad dump, you can download it directly below.

First I'd like to thank the translation team for all the effort that went into this patch! I thought that after like 3 differnet projects beign discontinued, this day would never come!

Also DeadSkullz, I have a question. If i wanted to fix this situation for personal use to use the cheat codes, how would I go about it? Or would it be better to wait for the team to release a fixed dump one?

I would wait until they update.

Got another one. This one's the first magatama you gotta interact with when you enter the Fujisakura in chapter 15 or so.

​

Second Magatama a little further in.

Untranslated save spot, it's the one right after the first boss in the last chapter of the story. (Bar NG+) Here's a shot of the location:

 

[PhilippeAlaurent]

Ok, first playthrough completed. Some of the credits were left untranslated. I'm not gonna post them all, but if you care, you might wanna take a look at it. =/

Here's another little odd thing:

As you can see, the command's name got cut. :x

Other than that, everything seems to be in perfect working order so far. I'll let you know when I've completed the Dragon tower. =p

Japanese location at savepoint in Megi Castle. This is just after you defeat the Nacht and talk to Shuten (first and second image).

I think "a" should be placed between "basically" and "transformation" (third image).

So, I don't know whether you guys went for a British English translation or an American English translation, but I figured you'd like me to bring this to your attention. "Lie of the land" (British) VS "Lay of the land" (American) (fourth image) and "marvellous" (British) VS "marvelous" (American) (fifth image).

I believe this is the first time someone refers to Alady's home as the Shura kingdom. Usually they refer to it as the Wave kingdom. I wanted to let you know just in case it was a mistake (sixth image).

I feel like "I had no idea" would roll better off the tongue (seventh image).

I'm not entirely sure about this, but I think "King-size" should be hyphenated (eighth image).

Ngl, our team had a go, where certain major staff overlapped with the first game, but we'd rather leave them in Japanese than mangle them! We mostly just translated the job titles.

 

[PhilippeAlaurent]

Found this one while replaying, in Dulces Tomb. It's after the fight with Koma. Haven't seen it posted before so there you go.

 

[PhilippeAlaurent]

Very small nitpick here, but I previously heard that the joke, which you kinda lost in the translation, was "So, about the reason why I came." (This is meant to be because he's got two sexy babes on each side… It's meant as a pervy joke ) or somesuch. I feel like the meaning got somewhat lost, but I'm no expert in reading Japanese kanji, so. =/

 

[PhilippeAlaurent]

Got another one!

Elevator that leads to the main deck of the Schlafen Celeste. ^.-

 

[Deleted member 399092]

Ugh, I was took quick to take a snapshot, but the confirmation prompt to open a door after destroying some columns shortly after the switch above is also untranslated. Perhaps someone else will take a shot for me?

Added a screenshot for this (first image).

"Marvellous", British English (second image).

I think you can leave "have" in "we've" out of the sentence (third image).

Now this I was having trouble with. "Jaunt" already implies it being a short journey, so wouldn't the word "quick" be technically redundant here? (Fourth image)

EDIT: The text gets cut off here (Wilkurkind) (fifth image)

 

[PhilippeAlaurent]

I mentioned this one a while back, but I managed to take a snapshot this time!

 

[madmazda86]

Thanks, folks! As always, your diligent screen-shotting is appreciated

 

[Deleted member 399092]

I feel like "above there" is more fitting than "above here" since they're not at that location anymore (they're in the body of the dead Einst, not Wilkurkind) (first image).

"really not keen" vs "not really keen" I feel like the second one rolls of the tongue a bit better (second image).

I think "at" should be between "going" and "it" (third image).

I think it's supposed to be "led to believe" (fourth image).

"persons' powers" vs "people's powers" Persons' sounds a bit archaic, but if she talks in an archaic way in the Japanese version, then you can just ignore my suggestion (fifth image).

Not completely sure about this one, but isn't it supposed to be "there are" instead of "there's" in this sentence? (sixth image)

Hello there! First things first, thank you very much for the work you guys have done here, i've wanted to play this for so many years and now i finally have the chance to do so, thanks a lot!
Now, for what i have to say, i'm trying to play it using No$GBA with Zoomer, everything seems to run just fine with no problems but as soon as i try to save at any Save Point (be either on Dungeons or the actual Menu), the game would just go and freeze, music still plays but game just wont budge anymore.
I dont know if people these days still work with No$Gba or even use it to play, my PC isnt that good and as such i cant run Desmume very well, while No$Gba run just fine.
If you guys dont plan on testing it on No$Gba (As it looks like it works just fine with Desmume and Drastic as you stated) i understand, i just really want to play and cant update my PC to run Desmume well since i dont have the money.
I made an account just to thank you guys for the fine work done with this game, i cant thank you guys enough.

My apologies, we have tested the translation with DeSMuMe and Drastic only. There are no plans for increasing compatibility at this time. However, have you applied the antipiracy fix linked in the main release thread? This may help if it's an AP issue but no guarantees.

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

"persons' powers" vs "people's powers" Persons' sounds a bit archaic, but if she talks in an archaic way in the Japanese version, then you can just ignore my suggestion (fifth image).

Yes she does speak in archaic Japanese. So does Suzuka but we localised hers more heavily in keeping with the first game.

Don't worry, this game works fine even on No$gba 2.6a with zoomer, finished this game with the patch applied using that No$gba version, if you need proof I'll post my screenshot later.

Sorry if it isn't relevant to the translation itself, but i thought it's important to discuss it since now stuff in the game are understandable. those are questions for everyone btw:
1. How difficult the game is compared to the first game?
2. What's your preferable party formation?
3. Are there certain bosses that force certain party members in front line, like in the first game? If yes, can you swap them with back line members in-battle?
4. Are there any secret bosses/dungeons in the game? The first game had one secret boss.
