Translation Patch (Extend)

From Project DIVA Wiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search

Intro

A Wololo moderator named Codestation has started translating extend. The patch is actually a plugin instead of a regular ISO patch, which means it is easier to update and also makes it possible to play from the UMD without any ISO. It still does require a CFW to load the plugin.
Original wololo link - As of the 0.5 beta releases, the game is nearly 100% translated!

Using the patch

1) You need to softmod your PSP. You don't need anything fancy to do it, and the risk to brick (brick: homebrew vocabulary, meaning to break your console - it's as useful as a brick then) your PSP is almost 0%. Here is good guide how to softmod your PSP to latest PRO-B firmware.
2) Copy the "divapatch" folder inside the .ZIP into the "seplugins" folder in the root of your Memory Stick.
3) Add the following line to GAME.TXT in same folder: ms0:/seplugins/divapatch/divapatch.prx 1 (if using a PSP Go, replace ms0:/... with ef0:/... - if the folder or the file do not exist, create them)
4) Restart the VSH by choosing the option in the Recovery Menu (press SELECT on the XMB) or restart PSP (3 seconds power button and turn PSP back on, slower option). Then start the game.
If a new patch is released, just replace the old files with the new ones, unless instructed otherwise.
!) If you use decrypted DLC, then use nploader instead of nodrm. Also, make sure that nploader.prx is listed before divapatch.prx.

Translating to a different language

The SDK folder in the .ZIP file contains all you need to help translate or to translate the game to a whole different language!

Use decent text editor to edit txt (that doesn't mean Windows Notepad! Use e.g. Notepad++ or Notepad2) files and use shift-jis as encoding. Description of files:
- divaext_translation.txt: main translation filename
- divaext_embedded.txt: texts that cannot be relocated so they have size constraints
- divaext_*_base.txt: untranslated files for use as reference (if you think that a translation is wrong, then you can use those files to re-check it).
- diva2nd_translation.txt: 2nd translation file if you want to translate 2nd instead of extend.

After translating/making changes to a txt file:
Windows: drop the translation txt file on the divaconverter.exe and it will create a .bin file
Linux: execute ./divaconvert <translation filename>.txt

After converting, replace the old patch files with the new ones.

Images are in XCF format which can be opened with Gimp. You need to convert the final images to 8bit indexed PNG files. pngquant is handy for this. (Nightsail used, and included in the 0.5beta6 release, pngnqi.) Font used in the main patch is called "Berkelium" and the font for the HUD (bottom of the screen control directions) is "Bitstream Vera Sans Mono"
