Newbie Text-Dump Question
Posted: Sat Dec 04, 2004 1:30 am
I imagine this is a very, very newbie question, but seeing as how I completely unfamiliar with the text-dump process, I was just wondering one thing regarding the in-progress text-dump of Policenauts...
Are you guys setting out to create a text-only translation, which could then be printed out and referenced when playing the game, or are you planning on creating a version of the game with the english text incorporated into it, which could then be played on emulator (much like the English ROM version of Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake for the MSX) or be burned to disc and played on a modded system?
Either way would be fine with me, I am just curious ; )
I would imagine that a printed-text version would be somewhat length, and possibly not even feasible, given the many choices and, thus, text-paths which are probably in the game, but, again, I am completely unfamiliar with how a text-dump works.
I am intending on getting Policenauts for the Saturn from eBay, and, like everyone else, would love to be able to play it either in English or while referring to English text. I would greatly prefer not to just use a walkthrough, since I want to enjoy this game as fully as possible...
Anyway, keep up the great work, and I will keep checking to see how things have progressed : )
