I think I miss the before awakening.

But now I have this error :
[CIA ERROR] CIA Content 15 and 13, have conflicting IDs
[RESULT] Failed to build CIA

An idea ?

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

And for information during this step :

Patching the Spring Scramble DLC
  1. Copy and paste all the contents from the DLC folder on your SD Card to your project directory.
  2. Double check that ctrtool.exe is in the same directory as the DLC .app files.
  3. Open up command prompt in that directory (on windows go to File -> Open command promptin file explorer).
  4. Copy paste this code into the cmd: ctrtool 00000063.app --romfs=SpringScramble.bin. You should now have a romfs file named SpringScramble.bin in your directory.
  5. Now, copy paste this code into cmd: ctrtool --romfsdir=SpringScramble SpringScramble.bin. The contents of the romfs should be extracted into a folder called SpringScramble.
  6. Drag and drop the SpringScramble folder from your Translation Files directory to the root of your project directory. When prompted, overwrite the three files.

I have changed the 63.app to 6b.app, because at the first page of your guide, you say to rename the 0000063app. to 000006b.app.
Firstly I rename the file, and secondly I write 6b.app in this cmd.

I should'nt do that ?

and the CIA work !


But I've edited the CONTENTINFO FR and EN , and the DLCs Work but the icons and text won't appears in the dragon gate menu. I have the "Rerserved" text.


For the moment I stop here but I hope you'll find the solution :grog: or maybe the problem is me :wacko::rofl2:


Thanks for your job !


PS : There is a last DLC 00000043.app which give us 10 000 golds. Maybe this last DLC caus trouble

I'm glad to see you figured it out. I fixed the typos in my guide so everything should work now.

Anyway, I redid the Kimono dialogue and am slowly working up to Selkie again, because I now know more about writing than I did before+some of the English still seemed too proper and didn't flow well, especially for less formal characters.



And yes, I did fix all the typos and errors since releasing this video. No more double AAs and missing/incorrect commas.

Hey !

I test your update for the guide and it works. Nice !

But there is a last problem.
The icons and text at the dragon gate don't work...
We have the ''fates'' icon and the ''reserved'' text.

I think there are some possibilities :

-31. And 32. icon file from the Japanese assets aren't the good icons.

Or when you edit the ContentInfoArchive, it's not the good offsets.

If you have time, can you test this part ? Or if it possible, I would like to have your content info archive EN for look.

Many thanks to you, I hope this project success !

Seeing as how someone else was able to make the content display correctly, my only guess is that you didn't actually save the changes made in the file, or you forgot to rebuild the NCCH archive from a rebuilt RomFS.

I don't understand why I don't have the icons...
Eventually can you share with me your Content info Luushnee ?

I would like to look what I did bad.

I take the 31 and 32 icon from assets jap.
Rename 28 and 29.

I write 29 in hex on the metacontent.
And I write 28 and 29 in the content in archive...
Maybe is the rebuild whixh don't work for me.

Thanks for help

Can you screencap exactly what your contentinfo file looks like in the hex editor after all the changes are made?

Hey, thanks for the good work!

I have a problem following your directions:
I use the european version wit the latest updates. The game works fine but for some reason my SYSNAND SD/title/0004008c/00179500/content/00000000 does not contain a 00000062.app.
Therefore I can only do everything else up to Dumping the Content Info Archive and Icon. Everything else is there.

Are you absolutely sure it's not there? Did you get the DLC from Nintendo or via some other means?

Hm that might be the problem. I got the dlc when it first released via some other means.
I will try to backup my savegame and reinstall everything and see if it works then. Thanks

Hey, I just wanted to let everyone know that I'm still alive. But a lot of stuff has happened lately. I actually am taking two classes now to graduate because my counselor neglected to accurately add up my classes needed to graduate. This isn't a big deal, but I am working full time now at my job. As you can probably guess, my free time is limited and I would be lying if I didn't say my motivation has been lacking especially when free time is a luxury. On top of all that, my new laptop battery died 1 month in, so I needed to get it returned because I was unaware non-removable laptop batteries were a thing and I'd rather not disassemble it to change the battery. So I am without a laptop for the time being. I'll try to get motivated again once I get a new one, but it's rather hard to find time to work on it when my free time is limited to 3-5 hours a day.

Just wanted to let you guys know, because I think you guys deserve to stay updated. Even if the project falls through, I uploaded the raw files especially for the purpose of anyone willing to contribute or pick up the project if I am unable to. But hopefully I can get back into the swing of things after I get a replacement laptop.

Appreciate you trying to keep us posted even with your laptop problems. Anyway, I did Oboro/Mitama now that it was translated. There should be a pull request on GitHub for it.

Thank you. Now that I'm settling into my new laptop and have exhausted my library of PS1 games, I'm gonna go back to this. The best way to keep me on track is to get me really bored.

Hello guys !

The project is still alive ? :ph34r:
Last I heard from Silent Hell he said he's lost motivation to work on it for the time being. He may pick it up in the summer, but no promises. For what it's worth, I'd be willing to revive it if he doesn't come back and the demand is still there.

The demand is still here, as is the patience. Good lord these things are big.

    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
