soneek Posted July 2, 2012 Author Posted July 2, 2012 Thankyou for giving us a reasonable timescale, I feel a lot better when I'm not in the dark. I've been following this patch for a while, but haven't touched it yet, as i'm a bit of a perfectionist and want it close to 100% as possible, Do you think that V4 or V5 will bring us a complete story translation?Also what's up with the 98% item thing? I wouldn't expect 100% story until the US release. If it's not essential to getting through the game, it won't be prioritized. (With the exception of PokeStar Studios) We have 100% items... for all of you people who saying you want a new patch as soon as possible or within few weeks and want it fully translated by then thats impossible. in translation teams for professional translations who paid by companys like gamefreak,atlus,namco and so on takes them several months to translate. and they all work full days every day and payed. seen as all these generous people are translating this for free it will most likely take them till august or September to fully translate it. most likely 80 percent but mostly english. i know you dont wanna hear this but stop asking to fully translate and rush these nice translators. for me i like to thank them for being generous and wait patently. im no trying to be rude to the translators if i offend you on saying your gonna take a long time.i just know it takes alot work and respect it. This person speaks the truth. As Kaarosu said, this is done in our free time, so we're not going to be releasing stuff as quickly. The first three patches were essentially getting as much of the info from Black and White translated as we could. We're getting more in depth now to new features and menus. Patience is key.

rayquaza1 Posted July 2, 2012 Posted July 2, 2012 This patch is really amazing and I thank everyone who contributed to it. I just have a few questions since I have never patched a rom before. Do I just use Xdelta and patch my rom with the english patch itself and I am good to go? I don't care for the Game ID since I don't use cheats on my game. The thing is, I am going to play this on an Acekard2i, so I was wondering how I use that DAT V3 file or how to apply it to my rom. Or do I just patch only the english translation file and I am good to go. I'm sorry for all the questions, I just would really appreciate it if someone walked me through getting this to work on my Acekard2i step by step since I have all the files. No one really answered my questions above, so if anyone can help me I'd be really grateful
Savato93 Posted July 2, 2012 Posted July 2, 2012 I wouldn't expect 100% story until the US release. If it's not essential to getting through the game, it won't be prioritized. (With the exception of PokeStar Studios). I just downloaded the V3 patch and it's working brilliantly (the only real problem is the frame-skipping dominant among all DS ROMs). However, concerning your priorities, what is the translation progress on Sangi Ranch? While not exactly pivotal to the story, it's required to progress to the first Gym, and it would be somewhat difficult for first-timers or younger players (ignoring the fact that the latter probably wouldn't even use emulators and ROMs) to figure out what they're supposed to do if they can't read Japansese.
chastout Posted July 2, 2012 Posted July 2, 2012 As long as the most important bits get translated (And Iris's dialogue) It doesn't really matter about the TV's and Extra info. Then i don't care.
Mudkip Posted July 3, 2012 Posted July 3, 2012 Whenever I get to the Giant Chasm after Team Plasma lands in there, the old Team Plasma isn't fighting the new one, when they're supposed to. Also, I can't fight Black Kyurem. Any help?
Giratinaismyfav Posted July 3, 2012 Posted July 3, 2012 I'll wait until it's fully completed to try this out, Hopefully before christmas, cause if it's fully completed after that, I'd still use it, It's just not as much as I'm getting the Legit Versions then

Also, I can't fight Black Kyurem. Any help? Where exactly in the game are you? It's hard to tell from your description. Did you complete the events with Team Plasma inside their frigate yet?
Arkanes Posted July 3, 2012 Posted July 3, 2012 Can you try and translate all the hints for the password on the Plasma Frigate? Some of them say "A Password?" and the rest is Japanese, and without it I cannot progress.
Shadowfire3 Posted July 3, 2012 Posted July 3, 2012 Thank you guys for all your hard work. I'm currently writing a FAQ for this game and the English translations are really helpful. However, I'll have to play through this completely before I can really do my FAQ, as not all of the main plots of the storyline are translated yet, and I get stuck. But I praise you guys for your work, it's really appreciated, and keep it up!
Shiny Hunter Posted July 3, 2012 Posted July 3, 2012 Thanks for that translation! We will be expecting for more updates to come!
gamer4572 Posted July 3, 2012 Posted July 3, 2012 Can you try and translate all the hints for the password on the Plasma Frigate? Some of them say "A Password?" and the rest is Japanese, and without it I cannot progress. The passwords are either xx0x (replace the x's with a single number from 1 through 9, for example, 9909), ze-ku-ro-mu (type this in the translator without the hyphens which is the fourth option on the bottom, or re-shi-ra-mu. If it is a number password, when you talk to some of the plasma grunts near the password machine, they should have a number highlighted in brackets. That's the number you need to replace the x's with.
Mudkip Posted July 3, 2012 Posted July 3, 2012 Is all the dialogue supposed to be Japanese after Sangi City? in v3?
naqman32 Posted July 3, 2012 Posted July 3, 2012 is pokestation patch the same thing as yours? are you guys working with them or are these two separate projects? and if they are separate why?
czar kazem Posted July 3, 2012 Posted July 3, 2012 is pokestation patch the same thing as yours? are you guys working with them or are these two separate projects? and if they are separate why? They're separate projects. And it's probably just because two different teams wanted to make a translation. They've gone about it differently from what I've seen, so it's not just cut and paste from eachother.
tjexp Posted July 4, 2012 Posted July 4, 2012 Can you try and translate all the hints for the password on the Plasma Frigate? Some of them say "A Password?" and the rest is Japanese, and without it I cannot progress. these should be all the passwords, just try them all: 1101, 2202, 3303, 4404, 5505, 6606, 7707, 8808, 9909, レシラム, ゼクロム, キュレム
Porkemastad Posted July 4, 2012 Posted July 4, 2012 I have a question: If I apply the Translation Patch V3 to my Pokemon Black 2 Rom will I be able to apply future patch versions to the game without restarting/formatting my game? I'm not sure if someone has already asked this question, thanks to anyone who can help!

I'm not sure if someone has already asked this question, thanks to anyone who can help! Yes, you have to patch a clean rom though. You also have to rename the new rom to the same name as your old save file.
Porkemastad Posted July 4, 2012 Posted July 4, 2012 how do you patch a clean Pokemon Black 2 rom on a mac?
gamer4572 Posted July 4, 2012 Posted July 4, 2012 how do you patch a clean Pokemon Black 2 rom on a mac? IS patching a rom on a mac, different from doing it on a PC? If it is, then, I don't know, I have a PC.
unique Posted July 4, 2012 Posted July 4, 2012 Hey guys, hows the progress going? Cause pokestation translation did a giant leap forward, hope the next release will get ahead of them.
Enterprise-D Posted July 4, 2012 Posted July 4, 2012 50% translated? You mean 50% translated in general or for the story?
tjexp Posted July 4, 2012 Posted July 4, 2012 50% translated?You mean 50% translated in general or for the story? general text which is scattered around
