This is part of those big Japanese DC games that must be translated just to be playable! By Americans and European people in english, spanish at least. Vermillion desert is another case.

There is so much happening behind the scenes, but an important milestone deserved some celebration!
This new mail menu required:
Even if challenging, we pushed through this by combining our efforts and that really made the difference.

This new mail menu required:
- * .RHS format reversing & rebuild
* Mail menu function reversing / disassembly / hacking
* New JIS font spacing assembly function by Nanashi
* New 3D models for rolling monitors ( MAIL / EXIT / SAVE / WORK ) by Egregiousguy
* Text Editor by USC
* Text Writing & Extra formatting + colour by Curtain Fire
Even if challenging, we pushed through this by combining our efforts and that really made the difference.

Re: Dreamcast - RENT-A-HERO No.1 - Translation project!
The time has come to put our work alltogether.
General use text, stored into game binary have been remapped in order to best fit larger english text chunks.
In order to do that I had to create new pointer lists for english text entry point, map every single text chunk function call and relocate it to new offset.
Finally, coded a QBMS script to automate rebuilding of new chunks / pointers / calls + .GDI within a single click!
Curtain Fire has been hard at work on FANMAIL text reimporting, whilst USC just finished updating his awesome text editor with brand new functions that will allow even more control over text lines.

Re: Dreamcast - RENT-A-HERO No.1 - Translation project!
Another major breaktrough thanks to Nanashi superb skills, FONT.CG can be exported in a .png file, edited and reimported back into the game.
This will effectively allow Rent a Hero No.1 for getting translated to other languages without any compromise!
USC updated his text editor with added features, such as text limit and special value buttons. Editing text is now much easier and efficient!

How many time do you think, a lonely person needs to translate the game in an other langage when you'll release your fabulous tools ?
