The Tingle's Balloon Trip of Love
Hacking Writeup
For those of you who came in late, I'm the lead (read: only) hacker for the translation project. Within the next few weeks I plan to write a series of posts that describe my part of the project, what I have accomplished, and what I'm still working on.
I'm going to try to make it as easy to read as possible, but basic knowledge of the hexadecimal (base 16) system will help (If what I just said sounds like another language, don't worry).
These posts are basically going to cover a few general categories -
File structure of the ROM
Text editing
Graphics editing
Each of these is probably going to be a few posts long, depending on how long it takes me to explain.
If you have anything specific you want me to address or have any questions, please ask in the comments!

I'm looking forward to this like crazy :D
ReplyDeleteThis ought to be an interesting read indeed :). Keep up the good work on this translation, I'm still eagerly looking forward to it.
ReplyDeleteCool, I will check back even more often now ;).
ReplyDeleteChecking since day 1, can't wait to play this =)
ReplyDeleteI don't know if you've already said this anywhere, but once you finish, do you plan to make custom cartridges like they did with the Mother 3 fan translation?
ReplyDeleteIf my memory serves, the mother 3 team never made custom carriages themselves. They did make a professional guide that they actually got published, if that's what you're thinking of?
DeleteThere are cartridges out there that have mother 3 in english, but those are done by people who make repro carts and the like. It is possible for nds games, but sadly such an endeavor is probably something that would get us into legal trouble with Nintendo and/or Vanpool.

I tried to play this game once, but reading is heavily needed, I hope to see this tranlation complete.
ReplyDeleteKeep going guys!
ReplyDeleteI rode in hype train since day one! XD
