Translate game?

[piru]

Hiya!

At first, thanks of letting me part of this forum.

I downloaded the psx-Emu recently and started playing Parasite Eve. Some of you might know that game. I think it's one of the greatest games created by square ever.

This is not a "help, my game is not running"-post. I would like to know, whether any of you sees a possibility to enter the databases of a game and change things like texts. The background is: I'm German and I'd love to make this game playable to my little brother, who doesn't speak English. Since I'd a lot of fun translating the game, I wondered whether there might be a way of doing it.

Hope this is the right forum... Don't be mad at me if it isn't.

Thanks for your help in advance.

Translating a game is not a very easy thing to do. Even if English to German is much easier than Japanese to English, it still requires a lot of patience and reading many documents on game hacking.

This is a good starting place: www.romhacking.net/start/ . You can also find very helpful people on the forums over there, just don't ask them to do any work for you or they will probably hate you.

Also, someone has already translated this game to Spanish here: nexo-hispano.romhackhispano.org/?p=1 , you could ask him if he has written any tools that he can share with you to make this job easier...
