zelda : mask of majula ?

[Fodda]

Does anyone know when the new zelda game is coming out. ive seen sites where u can pre order a jap version as of 4/27 but release dates for titles like this are always put back. IS THIS DATE CONFIRMED????

The us version does not come out for ages so if the jap version does come out this month mabe someone can start translating it using Thingy or another hacking program.

The nintendo web site says December.

Hope you know lots of Japanese.

Yea, you would be much better off waiting for a US release unless you know japanese because games like Zelda have a lot of text in them that you have to pay attention to.

someone could start to translate it when it comes out and bring out a translation patch like they have done with poke gold

[ChrisUK]

dont you think Poke Gold would be a bit easier to translate as its only a GBC game-
therefore a lot smaller???

Translating a game requires the ability to edit the graphics. There was a topic on this subject (editing graphics) in the Coder's Heaven forum. As you will read, it's basically impossible.

Though you could always put out a FAQ with translations of all the menu's and all the areas of in-game text.

Ive never seen a N64 translation patch.

For the other units, yes.

I seem to recall that the JAP version and the US version of Zelda Ocarina of Time were the same roms, just a different setting so that Japanese text or English text appeared. The reason I know this is because you could toggle between the two when you were playing it on the UltraHLE emulator. It was just a setting in the .ini file. Assuming the new Zelda game is similar, I'm hoping that someone can figure out how to do that with a rom patch. Any thoughts?

This Zelda game won't likely be the same way . For the first game it was close to the Christmas so they had to hurry and get both the JAP and US versions at nearly the same time. It's different with this one with the Jap version coming out months before the U.S.

I found a patch 1 year a go that translate Zelda from english to spanish and it's great !, you can try it at http://www.emulatronia.com/traducciones/parches-n64.htm

Well, that's certainly promising. How does that work, I wonder? Would logic dictate that the same type of patch could be made for Mask of Majula?

[Sarah]

They always put in some new protection method too. Im sure its going to have something. It was like 2 months for the patch for the first version to come out wasnt it?
