That is, using most of the 3300 or so kanjis to host every possible combo of two lower case English letters, lower case+punctuation/space, upper case+lower case. Of course, like Pablitox said, you could do something else (like in the current iteration of the SN Hajimari no Ishi translation -though I think they are going the VWF way?- and Itadaki Street PSP). Nice looking monospaced fonts (8 pixels) exist (the Metroid Fusion font, for example).įrom what I see Sol Trigger and Disaster Report 3 already look good with 8-px FWF.īut then you'd need to modify the font display routines, and the routines that read text from the iso so that they accept 1-bit ascii text in addition to the default 2-bit Shift-JIS format (something like if the byte <80 read it as single byte, else read it as double byte) because of PSP Ram limitations. Or no need to implement a variable-width font, and just change the fixed width from 12/16 something pixels to 8.
If so, or if you might know anyone, I would love to hear from you! Unfortunately, I know next to nothing about programming, coding, and working with roms, so I've always been pretty stuck in the "wouldn't that be fun" stage, but just recently (aka today) thought I'd see if there was anyone else out there that has some experience and that might also be interested in working on a localized version of this game. If you want more information on this game, see my full post detailing it in the original thread here: I originally played this on the PS2, but I have the PSP version now as well, and ever since I played it around a year and a half ago, I'd thought it would be fun to translate. I'm an in-house translator/editor at a game localization company and have also done freelance game translation work in the past (the English version of Phantasy Star Online 2 to name one of them), but since I have the ability, I've been wanting to work on personal projects too for some of the games I love that never got brought over.
I originally posted about this in the Official PSP Request Thread, but was told I should try out here in the main forums to see if there'd be anyone interested. I'm new here, so sorry to burst in unannounced.
