You can also change one of the roms with the code Kuze made. Not sure how easy that would be and which chip could be used for that... If it's in the eprom it's clear if not, you'll need to find a suitable SMD.
- Thread starter twistedsymphony
- Start date
I believe we confirmed earlier that the code wasn't in the eprom portion. While true that you could replace one of the SMDs it's probably more work than it's worth. Especially since there's a lot more work to be done on this IMO.
I'm stilling trying to track down the Japanese Dreamcast image to see if I can isolate where the keyboard map is, stats page, and if I can define the top text in the pop ups.
I do have an original disk, just no way to rip it.

Good to know. one of these days when I get around to HDD modding my Dreamcast or buying a GDEMU
While Kuze made some amazing progress with the dictionary files I'm not considering this project done until
1. the keyboard mapping matches a USA layout instead of JP layout
2. the top text in the word bubbles is used (particularly for the boss battles where reading the question is necessary).
3. the remaining ancillary text has been translated, meaning the instructions on how to kill the bosses, the score screen text, attract mode text etc...
so I started comparing files between the USA and JP Dreamcast versions. first of all the USA game has a whole bunch of files that aren't present in the jp version, not quite sure what that's about but there doesn't seem to be anything in the jp version that isn't also in the usa version, which is good.
the following files are different:
0GDTEX.PVR
1ST_READ.BIN
BOSS.AFS
ETC.AFS
EVT.AFS
POLTEX.AFS
PRG.AFS
VOC_ORG.AFS
WORD.AFS
everything else checks out to be identical bit for bit.
Sorting through the files that have differences that my first order was to find something that looked like a keyboard map and I think I've found exactly that.
the PRG.AFS file splits out into 2 .bin files game.bin and test.bin
in the USA game.bin file around offset 00069210 I found what looks to be a keyboard map
in the JP game.bin it's around 00068150
I haven't been able to find anything in the NAOMI ROM that matches this unfortunately
interesting aside... the test.bin file in the Dreamcast games looks like it has text from the arcade service menu.

Any progress? I just picked up the Naomi cart. I had the import dreamcast version years ago and enjoyed it. I didn't mind the Japanese words and found it more challenging as i needed to rely on raw keyboard skill instead of muscle memory. But the Q/A breaks the game for gaijin

I had asked MetalliC for advice about figuring out the top text problem as well as the keyboard mapping and this was his advice:This is well outside my knowledge base and I've yet to dedicate the time to sitting down and trying to figure it out. It also doesn't help that my PC isn't powerful enough to run DC/NAOMI emulation so getting memory dumps during gameplay will be problematic.MetalliC said:
---------------
What I can speculate about these issues...
Top word Problem:
The original Japanese version used Kanji/Katakana for the top text and Romaji for the bottom text so I'd suspect that it stored both sets of text in the WORD.AFS file and would reference one location for the top text and a different location for the bottom text. the English version uses the same text so it likely references the same location for both. Since we just swapped out the WORD.AFS file I'd assume that the top text location is either unused or non-existant.... so fixing it would mean one of two options.
1. identify the bits that are referencing the top and bottom text locations and modify it so that they reference the same locations in word.afs... finding this would be very difficult as MetalliC had stated but I'd suspect implementing the change would be very simple.
2. Figure out the formatting of both the Japanese and English word.afs file and and then modify the English file to follow the Japanese format, duplicating the words for the both the top and bottom text so that the game finds both locations. This is probably an easier solution to discover, however implementing the solution would be a lot more difficult as it would require modifying every word record in the word.afs file (might even require a simple program to generate a new file).
Keyboard Layout Problem:
getting the keyboard to map keys to the proper English locations
1. identify the bits that "map" each key to a character and then modify the map to the US/English standard. Difficult to discover a solution, but easier to implement.
2. figure out the keyboard protocol and build a hardware re-mapper that goes between the keyboard and the NAOMI. easier to discover a solution but much more difficult to implement. One benefit here is we could likely build a generic keyboard port that would allow us to use normal keyboards, not just the Dreamcast ones.

Anyone know if it's possible to have red blood? There is no option on JP BIOS, and the setting on USA BIOS has no effect.
Sorry to revive such an old topic but this translation patch intrigued me and the information is directly relevant to the old effort here so I started poking at Naomi bin files this morning and well....
I figured out how to access the filesystem on Naomi rom .bin files
It's actually not hard at all and you should theoretically be able to overwrite it but I haven't tried that yet. The skinny of it is you will search the bin of the rom you want to use for "CD001" as they use ISO9660 filesystem just like Dreamcast does. You'll end up finding something that looks like this (note this was me still poking everything so ignore that I'm in ic1 YOU MUST USE THE NETBOOT .BIN FILE TO DO THIS):
Now grab any random iso file off the internet and search it for "CD001". Select the 01 before 4344303031 along with all the hex in the iso to the very end of it. Delete all of this, select 014344303031 to the very end of your Naomi bin file, copy, paste into the iso and you now have a mountable image of Naomi files. I'd assume you can create an iso and do the reverse to inject files back into a game but I haven't tested this yet. I do plan to play with this a bit and see if I can fix the bugs in the english patch of this game but no promises there.

Please don't apologize for bumping this thread. This project is still very much not complete and still very relevant (to me at least).
For reference these are the things that still need to be fixed:

I believe some of the swapped files in the early levels are incomplete as well. some of the 2-3 letter word bubbles at the very beginning of the game still appear in Japanese.

I was actually excited to see this bumped! Here's hoping!
After poking around in the mounted iso it seems there's problems still with the TOC as the word files are not being mounted... will have to dig deeper into making a proper header
Oh, well this is interesting.. so the data's in the iso so it should be there right? WRONG
sambookpro:rom sampson$ grep -e "CD001" *
Binary file epr-23021a.ic22 matches
Binary file mpr-23001.ic1 matches
Binary file mpr-23009.ic9 matches
Binary file mpr-23014.ic14s matches
Binary file mpr-23015.ic15s matches
Binary file mpr-23020.ic20s matches
There's multiple ISO9660 images within the roms so you have to hand-build each one. I noticed this because the TOC after doing the above method was 0x4878 sectors which when multiplied by 2048 block size results in 37994496 bytes which is not enough to cover the 170MB or so of data within the game. It seems each track would have to be hand-made from the individual ICs, modified, re-injected and then build a new .bin file

Yeah that's how I ended up replacing the Japanese text with the English from the Dreamcast version. I used 'mkisofs' to create a ISO which I injected back into the netboot ROM. Unfortunately the 'word' BIN files do not match up exactly between Naomi and Dreamcast, so there is some stuff still untranslated and other stuff (not sure what) that causes occasional crashes - more often on real hardware than on emulators. One of the major gameplay issues IMO is the multiple choice sections, which you currently have to guess the answer for.Sorry to revive such an old topic but this translation patch intrigued me and the information is directly relevant to the old effort here so I started poking at Naomi bin files this morning and well....

Keep in mind that Typing of the Dead is a Cart game so it doesn't follow the normal ISO structure of GDROM games. the image that's out there for use in Netbooting is the result of converting the ROM dumps to a net-bootable file.
Are there tools available that work with ic22? I can see that a TOC of files is defined here for the game and then ic20s has an ISO9660 filesystem for at least the files you mention here. If you can modify ic22 theoretically you should be able to inject the missing files.Yeah that's how I ended up replacing the Japanese text with the English from the Dreamcast version. I used 'mkisofs' to create a ISO which I injected back into the netboot ROM. Unfortunately the 'word' BIN files do not match up exactly between Naomi and Dreamcast, so there is some stuff still untranslated and other stuff (not sure what) that causes occasional crashes - more often on real hardware than on emulators. One of the major gameplay issues IMO is the multiple choice sections, which you currently have to guess the answer for.Sorry to revive such an old topic but this translation patch intrigued me and the information is directly relevant to the old effort here so I started poking at Naomi bin files this morning and well....
I figured out how to access the filesystem on Naomi rom .bin files
It's actually not hard at all and you should theoretically be able to overwrite it but I haven't tried that yet. The skinny of it is you will search the bin of the rom you want to use for "CD001" as they use ISO9660 filesystem just like Dreamcast does. You'll end up finding something that looks like this (note this was me still poking everything so ignore that I'm in ic1 YOU MUST USE THE NETBOOT .BIN FILE TO DO THIS):
Now grab any random iso file off the internet and search it for "CD001". Select the 01 before 4344303031 along with all the hex in the iso to the very end of it. Delete all of this, select 014344303031 to the very end of your Naomi bin file, copy, paste into the iso and you now have a mountable image of Naomi files. I'd assume you can create an iso and do the reverse to inject files back into a game but I haven't tested this yet. I do plan to play with this a bit and see if I can fix the bugs in the english patch of this game but no promises there.
An example of the word files not matching up between releases, from my notes:
Originally when I was first looking at this I hadn't discovered the internal ISO file(s) within the NAOMI ROM and I was manually injecting each BIN file with a hex editor. May not be useful at this point since you can just replace the whole ISO that holds the BINs, but here is an incomplete list of offsets from my notes:Code:BIN Ranges Missing From NAOMI ROM (Only present on Dreamcast versions) SE01L183.bin -> SE01L196.bin SE04L186.bin -> SE04L200.bin SE05L143.bin -> SE05L166.bin SE06L132.bin -> SE06L145.bin SE07L101.bin -> SE07L202.bin (There are no SE07****.bin files)
