Every time I think about the Little Ralph translation I regret not being able to translate the credits more and more. It was just because my friend who translated the game refused to translate the names, so hopefully one day I'll get someone who can do it and finally "finish" the patch.

Part of the reason I made the Little Ralph translation happen is because I have played multiple fan translations myself and found games I love I never would have otherwise if they weren't translated. I'm glad I've been able to give back to such a wonderful community.

Little Ralph English patch passed 1000 downloads today, I didn't even think there was that much interest in it. Feels good to have been able to put it out

So now that Little Ralph is patched and everything seems to be going smoothly, the question becomes "what now?" And the answer is nothing. If I do another translation hack it will not be soon.

I've been shitting myself the past day hoping there are no issues with the patch, and other than adding a patch for the Rev 1 version, there seems to be no issues, which is great.

Playtester is taking a long time to actually playtest. If he hasn't by Sunday I'll just have to do it myself because I want to release it already!

The patch is basically ready, I'm just waiting on my friend to playtest. I'll also see if it runs on some emulators other than what I was using to test, and if all goes well I'll put it up to download.

The entire game has been translated and all text is inserted, except there are multiple new bugs in the normal mode ending, which means multiple new headaches waiting for me in the future. What is it with the endings causing such problems for me?

Gave myself quite the headache yesterday. All I was doing was writing assembly in little endian bytes in Notepad, what did I do wrong?

Yeah this video never ended up happening. I wrote and recorded a reading of the whole script but I am just not motivated to finish it. I often think about doing YouTube content but I really just have no motivation to work on it. I guess it's just not for me, which is fine too.
Been taking a bit of a break from working on Little Ralph, I've instead been working on a YouTube video project about some fun stuff in Fire Emblem Fates. Once I'm all done with it I'll get back into the hacking I think.

Everything in the game's easy mode is completely translated, and playtest versions have been sent out. Assuming nobody finds anything wrong, release should be right around the corner. Almost done with this massive project! #psx #romhacking

Completed Chibi-Robo today. I usually play some pretty high energy games, so a chill game like this was a good change of pace. I got only about half the stickers, which is pretty wild. Probably won't be trying to get them all though.

Progress has been slow lately because for one I've been sick with a cold for most of this week, but also there's just not too much interesting stuff left to talk about. All I'm doing at this point is inserting text and making sure it looks good in game. Playtesting phase should be coming up soon.

I've found the next big roadblock in the translation. The fighting game sequences load their own file, which includes their text, and said file has no obvious free space at all. I'll have to somehow cram the text somewhere accessible, which will be tough. #psx #romhacking

Text inserter base version is complete, all that's left to do for it is collect the proper info for each stage and I'll be set to make quick and easy changes to the script. The to-do list is becoming very short, and if all goes well the translation should be done soon! #psx #romhacking

Currently in the process of rewriting my text insertion program to be more automated, before I was just generating the bytes which I then manually inserted, but once I'm finished the insertion process will be much quicker. Also changed languages from Python to C++, which I'm more comfortable with.

Been playing Diddy Kong Racing lately, almost done with it now. I remembered it being a lot harder when I was a kid. The R+B drift makes you turn crazy tight which is very fun when you get used to it. Also rare screenshot of T.T. being unlocked and not Drumstick.
