Re: Dreamcast - RENT-A-HERO No.1 - Translation project!
Just a quick heads up, I'm currently looking for programming support (any language, even Python Tkinter module would do!) to assemble together a quick text viewer / editor before beta-testing phase
If you are interested please send me a PM, thanks!

Re: Dreamcast - RENT-A-HERO No.1 - Translation project!
Progress update:
"General use text" stored in game executable has been reversed!
This was necessary in order to have an english working interface ( menus / items / moves..).
As Xbox stores it differently, an update to "binary--> ASCII script" is mandatory

Excited about this one! I've always had a soft spot for this franchise, and I'm really glad to see and English version of this one finally coming home to Dreamcast. Thank you, and keep up the great work!

Xbox english text has several chunks of untranslated text which we needed to locate.
As fonts are stored with an unknown compression algorithm, I had to manually extract the whole set (+ mapping game special variables of course).
After setting up an evironment ( Changing camera offset targeting black BG), thanks to Egregiousguy's spectacular work all fonts have been mapped to JIS ASCII.
With QBMS game binary -> ASCII script rewritten, we are able to convert 100% of text, proceeding with translation and matching phase.

Re: Dreamcast - RENT-A-HERO No.1 - Translation project!
With continued efforts on text extraction plus USC speed-of-light Text Editor coding, the very first in-house prototype Test Build Ver.0.02 is now taking shape!
Talking about technical feats, a new type of text layout has been found and reversed. Only used for mail, but still a necessity for a proper 100% translation.
If you too wanna help out RAH translation, we are currently looking for:
1) Text reviewers
2) Anyone familiar with Ghidra / IDA PRO, to help me narrowing down a couple of text-related functions
