Silvz Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 Sorry to ask, but how do you intend to play it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ILOVEPIE Posted November 12, 2014 Author Share Posted November 12, 2014 Sorry to ask, but how do you intend to play it?I can export it for use with a flashcart (there are working flashcarts for 3ds) or for use with a custom 3ds firmware.

mantixero Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 Sorry, I didn't see this post before I replied to the other thread in which you asked. I could lend a hand if I had a script. That would be an enormous help. So far I haven't worked on any projects where I didn't have to play through to game first to find and screenshot as much text as I could (check my Twitter posts in my profile if you want to feel my pain).

ILOVEPIE Posted November 23, 2014 Author Share Posted November 23, 2014 I'll send you a script for some of the loading messages etc. The file format isn't known yet so I can't give you a full script.Edit:Still looking for another hacker and maybe some more translators.

ILOVEPIE Posted December 31, 2014 Author Share Posted December 31, 2014 *bump*News:Development is stalled a bit on this as I'm having issues getting IDA Pro to display text in Shift-JIS encoding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RinXD Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 Are 3ds's region locked? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xyz Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 Are there any debuggers for 3ds?Are 3ds's region locked?Yes, you'll need a piracy cart to play this if it's ever done and released, some of them also disable region lock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelebek1 Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 There are some developer 3DS models, but you'll be paying out your arse if you wanted to get a hold of one, and even then it won't run unsigned or retail games, according to: https://gbatemp.net/threads/3ds-development-hardware.327858/ Welp, I'll look at a text file, but with no debugging whatsoever, and no way to test if the game works, don't expect too much.

ILOVEPIE Posted January 1, 2015 Author Share Posted January 1, 2015 Yes, you'll need a piracy cart to play this if it's ever done and released, some of them also disable region lock.It's called a flash cart and you can use a CFW if you don't have one.Welp, I'll look at a text file, but with no debugging whatsoever, and no way to test if the game works, don't expect too much.what do you mean by this?

Kelebek1 Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 what do you mean by this? You want someone to look at extracting/inserting the scripts right? I said I'll take a look at one of those files. But like I said, with no debugging or even testing to see if a reinsertion works, it's not going to be easy. I'll need a file though, I can't decrypt the game myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have gateway and a 4.1 3ds, but without proper tools I'm not sure if that'll be worth the time, sorry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ILOVEPIE Posted January 4, 2015 Author Share Posted January 4, 2015 I can export it in a format that gateway will run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Poltroon Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Is the project still alive? As far as I know, yes. Though lack of actual team members doesn't help much. Either that, or check with Tiago, a global mod covering the Dev Boards. How did you know? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ILOVEPIE Posted February 1, 2015 Author Share Posted February 1, 2015 it's still alive but i can't edit the scripts until i get another hacker to go through the engine's assembly code with me so we can figure out the format.

Simplyalif Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 Please tell me this project is still alive. I want to play this game so badly in English, literally searched on Google and this is the closest thing to it being done, that I could find Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
