I havent seen anything anywhere but does anyone know if there is a guide on how to extract in game text and then inject translations of that text?

Loadiine format, and then translate 1500 files and hope that Wii U supports your language. [If Wii U is missing fonts then jesus christ, it will look something like this "H?aeo h?w you ?ng?", no joke]

So pretty much the following:

  • Convert JAP WiiU game from say WUD format to Loadiine format (i believe Uwizard can do this?)
  • Translate files
  • Repack or leave as Loadiine format
  • Cross fingers?
I assume the text that is going to be translated is sitting most likely in the content folder under the data folder you get when you convery to Loadiine?

Sorry to dig up the topic ... but please, help me: I'm very willing to translate two WiiU games, because my little nephews play, but they're just pining to say what they say on the screen, because they do not speak English. I need to translate two games, since I have a lot of desire to translate, but for starters, I'm going to Mario Maker that should be the game that has fewer texts to get the practice.
Now I need to know which applications to use to extract and to edit ... type I want the basic step-by-step how to extract / use files and translate the texts to then post back to the console. I'm waiting for the answers and my nephews will thank you !!

Are there any efforts at all to translate any of the Wii U Japan exclusive to English? Dragon Quest X Wii U is likely too big a game to ever get that treatment, but there are others wii never got over here, and given that we got so few games in general, having even one more is a big deal.

    When I worked for Dell we had access to data about military contracts and addresses for high ranking people.

    I personally handled a call from the second highest person at Raytheon. That call bothered me a lot... The guy was nice and smart what bothered me was the way management basically just blew him off instead of going the extra mile to help him.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    In the end that call ended up costing Dell millions in lost contracts with Raytheon, and really the issue could have been solved for like 450 bucks lol

    sometimes I wonder why anyone would ever buy mega man x legacy collection 2

    I always thought that capcom shuffled the games in these collection, but apparently they are all in chronological order, which makes legacy collection 2 worthless
