ROM Hack The Legendary Starfy (GBA) english translation public beta release

[Deleted User]

A public beta for the english translation of The Legendary Starfy has been released!
You can get it over at Romhacking.net.
This is a translation patch for the first entry of the Starfy Saga released September 6, 2002 in Japan for the GBA.
Development started late in the GBC´s life cycle, the game was ported over to the GBA instead.

This is not my work! I just posted it here.

This is awesome, so happy the project didn't die out!

Cool.

I really appreciate the heads-up on this project! I went to grab the patch, and it looks like the files have been removed for some reason.

This is weird. The patch has been removed from romhacking and the google page.

Yep. And Googling for the filename doesn't find it, either. The Wayback Machine also apparently archived the page that had the links, but did not archive the files themselves. That sucks. WTF happened?

Recent site activity on that Google site shows:

If you search for KBHGames and Starfy, you will find that they have some kind of in-browser GBA emulator that contains an English version of the game ROM, but I have no idea what version it is. You can extract the ROM by viewing the information on the GBA emulator...I downloaded it and tried it on my DSi XL, and it is functional, but again, I have no idea what version of the patch they used.

It would be sweet to have this on the cartridge with English art on the game and box! As well as the other 3 games.

So, he "felt emotional over the whole situation". Because of this stupid behaviour, we MAY lost this translation.
I make a backup for this patch at google drive, but I dont have a permission for links posting now, sorry.

@Dodain47, looks like the patch is back up.

YouTube comments, Torchickens:
"I felt emotional over the whole situation, I'm really sorry. I've added what should be the latest back, as these are in IPS form; so should be information only."

When'll Starfy 2 be done?
"I'm unsure yet sorry, the project went dormant datamining how text is stored. I'll forward it on."

Thanks! I don´t know what´s going on behind the scene. Good to see the patch back online!

Woah! This looks awesome! Will definitely keep tabs on this project.

Progress Update:

Stages 1 through 9 are all translated. Unfortunately one of the text boxes early on is bad (perhaps due to a glitch it doesn't show, or it was not translated). There are a few glitches introduced in the translation (text from the wrong location entering text boxes, graphical corruption of the screen), and embarrassingly quite a few typos still, otherwise it's playable.

Update the translation is finished but not with just one but THREE patches!
