Gyakuten Touhou/Aya Shameimaru Ace Attorney 2 translation done! (Link on Page 8)
N-Forza:
Welp, it looks like everything's all wrapped up in one program. This could be annoying...
Anyone here any good at taking apart programs and try to find where the text is stored? I'm going to need someone who can do that at some point anyway since we've got to get the English text in there somehow. Alternatively, I could contact the circle itself and see if they can't give me a script. I guess if worse comes to worse I'll just translate as I play, heh.
Ghaleon:
Sorry that this is offtopic, but I'm hoping you guys simply didn't notice my other thread. But where does one go to learn about 'hacking' these games? I'm interested in learning how to help make translation patches myself, and am having a tough time learning the process other than the actual languages.
Nyyl:
I searched around a bit. This .exe can be decompiled with ExtractData. (nevermind this program, there's an alternative included below)
From what I can tell, the text seems to be in the "scenario" folder in .ks files, which can be edited with notepad.
Not sure yet how to get everything put back together though >_>
EDIT: Here's what I've found so far. The exe is in a format that merges an executable and an archive (archive.xp3) into one file. A program called kiri_sm.exe can split and merge these files. A program called kikiriki.exe can extract and compile .xp3 archives. Here's a package with these programs.

kiri_sm.exe -e gyakuten_touhou.exe
Splits gyakuten_touhou.exe into _detach.exe and archive.xp3
kikiriki.exe -i archive.xp3 -o gyakuten
Extracts all files from archive.xp3 and places them in a folder titled "gyakuten"
kikiriki.exe -c -i gyakuten -o archiveE.xp3
Compiles all files in the "gyakuten" folder into archiveE.xp3
kiri_sm.exe -m _detach.exe archiveE.xp3 gyakuten_touhouE.exe
Merges _detach.exe and archiveE.xp3 into gyakutek_touhouE.exe
That's what I have to offer on the subject :P
Solais:
Awesomesauce!
N-Forza:
Kickin' rad. Thanks a lot! I've give it a try soon and see how it works.
