Text dumps and translations for the patch are hosted here!
Here's the stuff that might actually help with making a translation patch.


This should be all of the text in the game, excluding stuff that's handled with tilemaps (like menus and the map screens).

Dialogue part 1 is only around 70-80 strings, while parts 2 and 3 both take up entire banks. I'm not sure what order the story text parts really go in (it looks pretty disorganized), but part 1 includes the intro text from when you start a new game. The short snippets are shoved in at the end of some of the graphics-containing banks and don't seem to follow a pattern either.

The credits and Medarotter names include some non-text bytes, probably for formatting and extra data. The menus are stored as tilemaps with pointers.

Pretty sure these use even spacing instead of an editable pointer table.
Item names have space for 15 characters in the ROM but are limited to 8 on-screen (same goes for Medarot names). Medal names only have space for 7 characters, and part names only have space for 8.

The text table in .tbl format for the Japanese game can be downloaded [http://www.mediafire.com/?2cb6elbcch3mdez here]. (Use this to look at the Japanese text in a hex editor.)

The dialogue text seems to alternate between using 4E (new line) and 4C (new box).

'''End code effects:'''
* 4F00 = Waits for button press, then closes. (Most common, used for normal text)
* 4F01 = Closes automatically. (Delay depends on text speed?)
* 4F02 = Waits for button press, but doesn't clear the text or text box graphics.
* 4F03 = Waits for button press, clears the text but not the text box graphics.
* 4F04 = Closes automatically, but doesn't clear the text or text box graphics. (Used for questions)
* 4F05 and higher = Seem to work the same as 4F04.
