Kingdom Hearts: Final Mix Translation Patch (In progress)

....., I forgot it has a dependency on the log; that tells it where everything actually saved.
As for that error, the log format changed a bit (It pretty much copies the IDX entry + a file-name to where it saved for each file).
Attached current extractor (difference=saves new log format) and a current log file from my end.

(Gotta like Xemnas :p)

Edit: --Removed old program, see newer post--

 

Alright, now it's working. Perfectly ruined text <3

Okay, now. To see if I can get the data (hash I think?) for the Xemnas fight. I have a save RIGHT before it. Activate the console and the EE console...

EDIT:
Or I would if I wasn't a complete idiot. I feel like all I'm doing now is asking questions. I put the cheat into a file called "0x3E68955A.pnach" inside the "cheats" folder inside my PCSX folder. It looks like this:

Code:

gametitle=Kingdom Hearts - Final Mix [SLPS_251.98] (J) [0x3E68955A]

Every time I launch the game the console says that no cheats were found.

 

Hey, I'd rather ask then be stuck on something.
Try "3E68955A.pnach". :p

And my progress on the file replacer: I think I got the compressor. It's not very fast (about 10-15 secs per megabyte; I'm brute-forcing), and someone who knows LZ77 compression tricks would be able to write it so much better then I, but if the game accepts it I don't care honestly. On the up side, because I'm brute forcing it should produce the smallest output possible.
Once I can confirm the game accepts it, I'll have updated tools posted. ^^

 

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF...

Still nothing. I'm going insane.

EDIT:
I'm guessing that the cutscenes are supposed to still be in Japanese and not ruined like all of the menu text?

 

How the English patch coming alone ?

 

Things take time. Right now I'm trying to figure out why my emulator isn't doing what it should be, and crazy is working on a more elegant reinserter/compressor. I'm getting depressed! :D

 

crazycatz00, have you taken a look at the memory management in your extractor? I saw the process jump over 2GB at one point! Not trying to be critical or anything, just putting it out there as a bug report I guess. I don't know much about C#, but is it true that you can't manually control memory allocation and deallocation? In C you could just malloc() and free(), but I guess you can't do that in C# since it has automatic garbage collection.

 

Hey root . Can u help them with this ?

 

I think that's what he's doing in the post you quoted. Did you even read it? ._.

 

just name the file 3E68955A.pnach
i just tried the patch and it loaded the cheats but i had to use word
because with extended there's an error

 

Did u translate any of the game yet ?????

 

Sora, for the love of everything KH-related, just wait until someone shows something. Please.

 

Crazycatzoo I overwritted the file called "titl (1c)" from spanish version on the Final Mix Version inside oh the "Title.2ld" File and it can displayed full the text. but an erro occour see bellow:


The barmk can create *.2ld files too

when you have the time available, can give a little help?

 

Here's something we can do in the mean time; come up with translations of the extra cutscenes in preparation. I know that it's been done but there are countless ways you can phrase a thought and we should go with what flows/sounds the best. Xemnas' cutscenes, Riku in the Realm of Darkness, etc.

 

Woo! Got the compressions function! In some cases, I can create an exact replica of the Square-compressed file, sometimes we just choose different flag bytes. Out of the couple files I've tried, there is no size difference at all. In copying SE's odd method, it also runs faster; from ~15 seconds for a 1 MB file to ~8 secs.
This means we have the best chance of getting files back in, as we have their compression.

I'll get the compression function into the file-replacer, and have a new version uploaded soon.

I'll help however you'd like, but I know nothing of Japanese; Sorta limit's my usefulness in translating... :p

KH2FM discussions are better left to Private Conversations, to not sidetrack this thread. But I'll take a look at it once I get the file-replacer for KH1 working.

 

Well, at least with the translating of new cutscenes, it's mostly English grammar differences. For instance, a lot of sources have Xemnas saying "That's a familiar sound." when asked by Goofy if he is Ansem. A different way to say that is "That name sounds familar" or " I am familiar with that name", etc. Basically we can just decide what sounds best, in context, while making sure the sentences mean the same basic thing.

 

"That's a familiar sound." That sound the best for that scene

 

New Extractor and Replacer, with compression. Compression works as far as I can tell, but there might be a few rarer bugs left.
I also changed how they work internally. They use the IDX from inside the ISO, no need to extract it. They also use that internal IDX instead of an extraction log, so no log file either. (The replacer makes another log file, but that's for a different reason)
All you need now is KH.ISO.

Man, just saw this now, sorry. -.-
You can control memory allocation, but more indirectly. What you saw was this:

Code:

            t=img.ReadBytes(size,sector); //Read file to memory
            if(flags&0x0001===1){t=decompress(t);} //If the file is compressed, run it through the decompressrr.
            File.WriteAllBytes(hash,t); //Write memory to file

I didn't want to spend a while coding file-writing, so I just used the built-in .NET ones. Result being it loads the whole file. There are some >1GB files in this game, and that memory gets released when the runtime decides to do so.
I could, if I really wanted to, read the file in chunks; but this won't work if the file is compressed (without a ton more work; the compression is wonky in this game), and this already requires a bit more.
And I have no idea if this has to do with Garbage-Collection\Memory-usage, but these apps are running as .NET 2.0.

On the up side, you don't have to extract the game every time to work on it.

Edit: Removed horribly outdated attachment.

 

Thanks for clarifying that. Looks like the extractor doesn't work, however. When I try the new extractor, it says "IMGFile: found IMG (BOOT2) ~ Offset: 569344" and just sits there for about a minute. After about a minute, it crashes with this error:
"Unhandled Exception: System.InvalidCastException: Unable to cast object of type
'System.Boolean' to type 'System.Byte[]'.
at JScript 0.main(Object this, VsaEngine vsa Engine)

You must be some sort of programming god.
