I think the title pretty much says it all here. There's at least a couple unofficial logos that have made it into translations but I haven't seen the official one yet. Yeah some of them are probably better than the official ones but I'll leave that up to you...

Download replacement NARC (http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/258536/6.narc)

Replace the /a/0/4/6 file with that one; I recommend using Nitro Explorer (http://gbatemp.net/index.php?download=1965) for the job.

WOW! These are great, they look perfect.

I would really like to see these in the translated version.

I added a link to Nitro Explorer for convenience. I encourage you to insert the NARC yourself if you like it.

HAHA! I've been wanting to do this! Good thing I still know how to use NE. One thing though...
I want to Photoshop that stupid-ass "Version" that's at the bottom of it out of it.
No idea how to edit a narc file like that.
Change it to .bmp or .jpeg whatever, edit it, and change it back to .narc? Just the idea I got... gonna try it.
Edit: Nope. Went horribly wrong. Redownloaded...

Yeah it's not that simple... At some point I may try to write a tool to convert standard images into the various Nitro graphics formats. Don't get your hopes up for now though.

Hey Poryhack, I'm going to be using your logo for my translation at GBAtemp.
This is great!

Ugh, I really dislike the official English logos. The one in Kazowar's translation is amazing, though. I wish the official logo looked like that.

Uh, for the Nitro Explorer, what was the Use for it? I didn't really need to use the Nitro Explorer. All I did was put in the NARC file that I downloaded from your Link and replaced the 6.narc file in \a\0\4\6 and it worked fine. o.o Btw, thanks for the Image, Poryhacks!

Well Nitro Explorer is just one tool that can be used to do that. I suppose you used some other method but IMO Nitro Explorer is easiest.

Glad that people like this.

Well, since I'm doing a translation, I just replaced the correct file with thenewpoketext.

Sorry June, I'll have to disagree. Excluding the word version at the bottom, this is ENTIRELY better looking than that... thing Kazo has in his patch. But not comparing that with the real logo... it's pretty damn sweet.

I kind of like Kazo's better because it looks more like the official one, but this one is more original.

Oh, I forgot about that. Technically the extraction of the ROM's filesystem was ndstool and not thenewpoketext (they are by completely different people).

This IS the official logo. How can an unofficial logo be more official?

BTW, there's a glitch when using your logo. If you sit through the opening cinematic, garbled graphics appear at the bottom of the screen.

Can you get a screenshot? I've sat through the ho-oh/lugia clip several times and not noticed anything.

Actually, I didn't really use Any Other tools to Move the Pictures into the Rom. <_< All I did was Drag and Replace the Japanese Logo with the English Logo. :biggrin: Anyways, thanks a lot for this!

Sorry for bumping, but this is the problem:

It usually happens when skipping the cinematic when it's 50% done.

I'm not going to try to recreate it myself atm, so I'll go ahead and assume that everything is as it should be and this is still happening.

I was experiencing some semi-similar problems before; anytime the logo graphic got bigger than a certain size it would just scramble the remaining part. That size however was significantly larger than the size of the Japanese logo. I couldn't do anything about the issue so I settled for having the logo slightly smaller than I originally intended.

As for this new issue, I'm afraid there's nothing I can think of to even try to prevent it. Maybe it's a memory problem?

I found somewhere else where it happens.
If you go to "PokéWalker" or "Mystery Gift" on the Continue/New Game screen, then return to the title screen, the glitch shows.
