black / white Pokémon Black and White Translation Project v2

[Crabjock]

when i try to play this game on my acekard 2i i get a black screen

Try updating your firmware. Or maybe your b/w rom is crap. Try locating a different one.

yes it would be illegal for us to aid in piracy.

But isn't it also illegal what we're doing here? I mean, Nintendo would rage if they found out about fans translating their game faster than the official team. (Even though I could care less since I support you guys, but just sayin' )

Pokemon B/W is released in spring right, am I being too optimistic in thinking there will be a full translation before than?

It'll be released around March, and by how things are coming along, I say there will be a full release by late December or early January.

Thats pretty impressive, of corse this version will be 10 times more awesome then the standard though

And what makes you think they don't know? One, they're not idiots, and two, this isn't exactly hard to find, or hidden in any way.

So I patched a clean Pokemon Black with the Rudolph V4 black and after I used the new logo V3 patch but the Union Room still hangs at a black screen. I'm using Wood 1.14 on a real R4.

I doubt that they would do anything about this or even know about this, I mean why would they even search for it?

Translating a game isn't illegal and I'm sure Nintendo knows about it like you said. It's under the "Fair use" law if I do believe.

Because they're a huge corporation, with thousands of employees, and they like to get paid. They're obviously going to keep tabs on anything that might cause them to make less money, like a translation.

Sony keeps very close tabs on the PSP hacking scene, and I'm sure Nintendo does the same for the DS.

I don't know if it's illegal or not, but I do know that many a translation project has been shut down by a cease and desist letter from a corporation.

Like how they did with Serebii.net and Pokébeach, which to this day was stupid of them since they were basically giving free advertisement.

Sounds like they get pretty serious, but maybe they choose to do nothing as they think it might promote the game, i.e. if people download the game and play the translated version they may be more convinced to buy the real one

i know right?

Same here, I want to compare between translations and come up with a "who did a better job" conclusion. So far, I'm loving the fan translation.

Yeah i agree with you at the rate at which translations are going the final crisp version should be out before the official

Even though i would have finished the game a couple of time by then i will buy it just to add it to my collection of games

[acehigh]

Just wondering, does the clean rom have to be exactly 256mb to be clean as mine said that it was 256mb but when I have it in my computer it says its 262,144kb

Thats fine the file i have is the same size 262 and it works for me after applying the patch

262,144KB is exactly 256MB. ;p

Hopefully it will, these guys are working their butts off daily on this game translation, so they have my full respect and support.

I lol'd.

[acehigh]

Lol i just realised that aswell, anyway I was wondering I have a childs play patch thing, the file is classed as an application, and when I drag my rom into that application it just produces a BAK files what is invisible on r4 wood could anyone help me out on this, also when i patch the clean rom with the v3 the size stays the same and the when I play it all the pokemons names are in japanese.

[tacticalbread]

Ignore the .bak file, and use the .nds file.

The patch renames the original .nds file to .bak (back up), and produces a patched .nds file.

[acehigh]

There are several links on GBAtemp forum and I was wondering, does it matter which one I use?
