Hundred Swords English Translation?

Post by CORE316 »

I am trying to Translate this Game with help of the PC Version.

Hundred Swords\bin\eme [Directory seems identical to Dreamcast with 1 additional File Missing on Dreamcast.]
Hundred Swords\bin\mission [Looking for Directory? Dreamcast missing .rte and .rtt]
Hundred Swords\bin\RTSEvent [Looking for Directory? Dreamcast missing .rte and .rtt]
Hundred Swords\bin\story [Looking for Directory? Dreamcast missing .rte and .rtt]
Hundred Swords\advertise.mpg - advertise.sfd The Intro Movie in English.

.eme - Text
.rte - Text Not Present in Dreamcast Version or different extension?
.rtt - Text Not Present in Dreamcast Version or different extension?
.wlt - Points to .wavs
.bin - usual binaries
.cam
.dat
.drv - driver?
.exe - wince executable
.dll - wince libraries
.ibn
.latex
.ldp
.mdb
.mdp
.mlt
.mrl
.mtb
.mml
.pvr - common dreamcast images
.sfd - common dreamcast video
.sll
.sml
.spr - sprite?
.srl
.ubn

Any ideas on Tools or help etc appreciated it is a work in progress [NOT TRANSLATED YET!]
I will update this Post as Progress Continues.

Damn real harder than it looks I have dumped some textures via Flycast and im guessing those too make up the dialogue and other elements etc. So I would really need to be a native Japanese to read and type in English and then edit the texture manually with the English Text.

Currently the only viable way is to Google Translate etc by manually typing the characters by hand lol which I have no clue since I dont speak Japanese remake the textures from the dumped .pngs and try to convert them back now I know somewhat how hard it is to Translate these Games.

There goes my other Game I was planning to try Space Griffon -V9 I was going to try using the Playstation as reference for that one. I will still look into things but without good tools these seems like a futile effort by me and best left to the Pros.

I will update if I get anywhere thanks for the info @fafadou well here is hoping HUndred Swords and Space Griffon - V9 English Translations Please for those that know their stuff. :-)

You don't have to manually type in the characters, Google can translate text directly from images- so if your textures have japanese characters on them, let Google Translate do the hard work for you. :)

How do you proceed please ? For sword of the berserk I used my phone, and the result was mediocre.
