I'm trying to write a script editor for this particular format but I have no idea how these scripts are formatted. All scripts start with 08 at 0x0, but 0x02-0x04 differ for each file. I was thinking that maybe that corresponds to the bytes of seperation between the bodies of text, but even that seems to be variable as well :|

Could anyone provide some advice for this? The particular ROM in question is "Super Robot Taisen OG Saga Mugen no Frontier EXCEED (J)" if you have the game, legally or illegally :)

Thanks!
Ihave read almost everything, good news! But there is no a re-insert tool so we cannot do too much :(
why not make a thread for a project and gather people to help? having some stuff already translated will definitely help

Yeah, that is the thread, though the person that translated those lines is the one that made the blog "a text repository" ( I think I gave you a link) so you'd have to contact them!

Yes, I contacted with him, but we still have the problem about sb re-compression, that is the last thing we need to make this project real, right?

Indeed, I think applying the inverse process is the way to go, though it seems a bit obvious to do. You can try with it and see what happens.

Hey there Eldinen, did you have any luck with inserting text? I'm sure showing a few pics will help progress things up!

    anyone here know how to use METEO?
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    It's very simple.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Meteo is like an AVI-to-GBA converter. Just drag-and-drop your AVI file in, and then convert.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, like those gba carts that have movies and tv episodes in them?
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    But Nintendo's GBA video format is different, being that it uses a custom ROM and chipset for rendering, for like the Shrek and Shark Tale titles. Been undumpable for years and years.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Meteo uses it's own player.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, those roms are dumped currently, right?

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    Although it's kinda pointless to download them anyway since you get the movies in horrible quality
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, Yep, they are now, but it took a shit ton of RE'ing.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    RE = reverse engineering
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, can you remind me what reverse engineering meant pls?
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, Reverse engineering, to put it simply, is to understand how the software or hardware was made.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Lol someone tried using my email to log into Nintendo
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, is that through trial and error sometimes?
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @K3Nv2, did you enter any sus site?
