It's a shame it was used as a barometer for anything. Anyway, thanks for the hard work. I have to say Magical Starsign is pretty damn boring. It’s a shame it was used as a barometer for anything.

In Perl, I'd just chop it into x-character segments, do a ++$hash{$chars}; for each then do something like print join '\n' sort keys %hash; at the end. You probably have plenty of good programmers that can handle that level of thing, but I might as well mention it because it's a solution I often end up coding in Perl :-) In the crazy event you ever do need to do that thing about making a double-character font, I should mention that it’s not too hard to generate all the common di- or even tri-grams given a text file with all the text.

You either tried patching an already patched ROM, or your patcher messed up or something. Hundreds of people have tried the patch with no problems, and I even tested stuff myself. A Fan: I don't know, I don't think anyone's HP or PP ever goes above 999 in the game. You'd have to hack the game to make it happen, and we're not gonna do extra work just for people who're already screwing with the game :P Ixis: Possibly, but I can't say anything for sure. I don't even think I have those files, since I think Dr. Fedora retranslated all those non-script files from scratch for m3.org way long ago anyway. And then we've since redone them from scratch again. But if they're decent, yeah, I'll consider em. Harold and <strike>kumar</strike>Hunter: If it happens, then I'll do as they ask, so as to avoid getting sued. But if they do wind up doing that, that'd be like ultimate PR poison , and it goes without saying that another group would take up the task and go more underground with everything. But they've had more than a year to do stuff, and so many people obviously know about the project, so I think there's nothing to worry about. Moulinoski: We'll only stop the project if Nintendo announces an English-version MOTHER 3, if Nintendo asks us to stop, or if the world ends. Kasumi: Yeah, it's humorous. If you'll recall, EB's text was always like that too. The Japanese text on the graves are all really bad puns based on the word for "grave". Most of the English translations shown for those graves are sort of placeholders for later, though the one about acting gravely works pretty well as *almost* a direct translation, so it'll probably stay. The game is sad and stuff too, but it's MOTHER, of course it's gonna have humor :D Kousuke: I think long ago sblur developed a way to fix the ROM so it'll work for some flash carts. I'm pretty sure it'll be included in the final patch, so it should hopefully work on most carts, but naturally I can't guarantee it. The menu patch was made from scratch (and I don't know how sblur fix works) so you'll want to check stuff like <a href="http://boards.pocketheaven.com/viewtopic.php?t=3883&start=3" rel="nofollow">this</a> if you're in need of a temporary fix. If anyone else here knows more, please enlighten us :) Lincoln: Bash and Bite. Salsa scratches. I think there might've been some other stuff that went unused. Hunter: byuu suggested the idea a long while back. It's possible, but probably not feasible, given that there's so little font room in the 8-bit character set, which I think we're *already* going to use for dictionary compression purposes. I think it'd be best to fix it properly rather than use duct tape to hold things together. Especially if sometime down the road people wanna make their own hacks, or if people want to translate it into other languages. Roan: The problem is your ROM.
