Magic Knight Rayearth 2nd: The Missing Colors English Translation Progress Update - 02/7/14

Ok here's that updated version of the 99% translation, im not sure if everything is done but I'll find out when people play through it. Im busy at the moment and can't do it myself, what hasn't been translated is the ending credits and that's about it. A name needs to be extended in the stats screen and one or two squishy letters, I tried that before but it ended up wrong so I didn't bother. I think that's all needs fixing but it's been months since I have glanced at the game, if you do perhaps run across anything please send me a screenshot so I can find it in the game. Thanks and have fun.

Magic Knight Rayearth 2nd: The Missing Colors English Translation Progress Update - 13/4/14

A little progress update, nearly 100% of the game has been translated but there are just a few things here and there I want to fix up. The main task is to fix up all the names in the game so no more Hikar but Hikaru:, I used spaces left over in the dialogues to move up the code and that gave me the extra space needed to insert their names fully and to have a : to show their talking. That's what im working on at the moment for this and doing that for all the names in the game shouldn't take too long. Im also making sure everything is translated as I came across some more dream text and a text when you perform a puzzle wrong, there could be more so im going to play through the game again just to be safe.

Now the other matter at hand. I recently came across a gamebreaker in the Red Castle release, before you entered the castle the game froze in mid conversation. I checked over the code again and saw that I accidentally went over a few hex's, I fixed that over a week ago but im disappointed that nobody noticed it and from this I know nobody bothered to get that far or even try to complete the game. Anyhow since I fixed that you can now finish the game, I'll upload that now as the 99% release so for those interested please enjoy. The translation is near 100% complete but I want to hold off for a moment before I call it finished so until then enjoy and have fun.

Magic Knight Rayearth 2nd: The Missing Colors English Translation - The Red Castle Release

The next release of the English Translation, currently mostly everything up till the end of the game has been done. Im going to hold out on the ending credits as currently I can't fit in the English text due to the limit of spaces, when everything else is done I will look into text pointers and do what I can. I am currently playing through the game myself to correct errors, spelling mistakes and translating the little Japanese that is left. I am around half way through the game myself, it shouldn't take me long to play the rest as the game so if there are any mistakes or errors I'll be sure to quickly correct them. Anyhow I want to hear what you guys think so play away and come back to me and tell me what you thought of the translation.

Note
The next final release will be when everything has been translated, I don't know when that will be as im also working on another translation which is now my primary project but don't worry as I will finish it. Translating that is much more taxing than The Missing Colors as Game Gear games have far more complex code than a Game Boy game does, progress is going well but I am running into problems from time to time. If your interested in Making of Magic Knight then check out the other post for an update on it's progress.

Magic Knight Rayearth 2nd: The Missing Colors English Translation - The Green Fortress Release

Here is the next release of the English translation, it goes up to the end of the green tower and overall has about 60% of the game translated. There may be some errors and Japanese but remember that this is in progress and it will all be fixed up eventually. If you actually download this please remember to comment and let me know what you think.

Magic Knight Rayearth 2nd: The Missing Colors English Translation - The Blue Tower Release

A release is here after almost a month of translating, this release features the first segment of the game out of three available in English. The plot of the game is to recapture the three colors that have been stolen, you fight your way through monsters in The Blue, Tower, Green Fortress and the Red Castle. I don't want people to wait until this is totally done as I know some are eager to play so im gonna release the translation in 4 segments. You may encounter some Japanese while playing but please remember that this is in progress and will your feedback it will be improved, for those of you reading thanks for your interest and have fun.

Planned Releases

1. The Blue Tower
2. The Green Fortress
3. The Red Castle
4. The Complete Translation

Note
This is my first fan translation so it may not be "Professionally" done so possibly expect some mistakes here and there. I also had to take many liberties when translating the game such as rewriting dialogue and alot of stuff like that so the translation isn't perfect but it's understandable and that's what really counts. Please provide feedback to me as I want to hear what you think.

Features

• First segment of the game available in English
• Battle System Translated (Mostly)
• And More

Magic Knight Rayearth 2nd: The Missing Colors English Translation In Progress

Recently I started looking into translating video games at romhacking, it took me a while to fully understand the process of romhacking and implementing it into a game in general but I eventually got there. I wanted the play the Magic Knight Rayearth games and saw that most of them weren't translated so I took it upon myself to start translating The Missing Colors. I also plan to do the other games as I again want to play them.... plus I don't read Japanese.

It is me and a friend, my friend is translating around 80% of the work (I do some of it myself) but 100% of that I rewrite as he is Japanese translating it into English so I have to fix it up. I also then have to shorten down and rewrite the sentences to make sure it all fits in as I don't know how to use text pointers so I have to take many liberties in translating the game. This may upset some as seen in the topic on romhacking but hey im doing the best I can. I have translated roughly around a third of the game so far and that would be up to the end of the blue tower segment, im gonna make a release of that soon as I know people would want to play and I also want to see what people think.


The Team
Me - Hacker/Translator (I do the bulk of the work, implementing the English text and the like)
Kiiri - Translator (Rough translations that I nearly 100% rewrite)


Here is a video I recorded not long ago of the English translation so check that out if your interested.
