Nuevo canal de Twitch

A partir de ahora trataré de ir subiendo vídeos de mis actividades diarias relacionadas con el romhacking, por si alguien tiene curiosidad de cómo hacemos estas cosas. He abierto un canal de Twitch aquí, con varios vídeos ya:

5 - Beta patch

4 - Translate the files

In order to translate the files we can use several tools:

Makou Reactor ("field" files editor)

https://github.com/myst6re/makoureactor

OR

Cebix tools

https://github.com/cebix/ff7tools

3 - Identify the translatable files

You will see lots and lots of files, but not all of them have translatable content. Let's see which ones have some texts to translate:

SCUS_941.6X - The main menu

init\window.bin - It has some battle icons, the font of the game and the width of the font.

init\kernel.bin - Items, magics, weapons, etc.

battle\scene.bin - Enemies and attacks.

mini\chocobo.bin - Some texts used in the chocobo races.

battle\battle.x -  Some texts used in battles.

menu\xxxx.mnu - Here we have the texts used in the menu.

world\world.bin - The "world map" texts.

And the most important folder:

field\xxxx.dat - The game dialogues and tutorials.

Finally there are a couple of videos with subtitles, but we will see these files later.

2 - Extract the contents

As usual we will need to extract the game contents in order to manipulate the files. We will use an old software called CD-Mage. In case you need the game contents, I've uploaded it for you:

https://drive.google.com/open?id=1TrKtH3wGDpLUbFIsqYDLIHx0ZXmOAAgr

Keep this folder and make a backup copy of it in your PC.

1 - Get the game

You will need the original game (USA version):

Disc 1 (SCUS-94163): 747.435.024 bytes
CRC-32: 1459cbef

Disc 2 (SCUS-94164): 732.657.408 bytes
CRC-32: a997a8cc

Disc 3 (SCUS-94165): 659.561.952 bytes
CRC-32: 1c27b277

All the discs have almost the same content, only the "movie" folder is different. The most interesting material is inside the "field" folder, but we will see that later.
