I should have started this a while ago but I am doing it now. We got a translation project going on for Power Dolls 3 for PC and so far its coming along nicely! I'll post some screenshots soon when I can get screendumps done without it crashing...

Here is the progress so far..

Graphic Buttons/Text - 90%
Basic Dialogue - 70%
Scenario Dialogues - 35%
.EXE Translation - 50%
Character Descriptions - 35%

Also will need play-testers near completion if anyone is interested. Please message MrRichard999

 

[TigerKnee]

Any reason why you started with RTwP PowerDoLLs 3 instead of TB Advanced 2 or 5?

Still, I'm interested, put me down for beta testing

 

[MrRichard999]

3 was able to run on my system at the time and I also just got 4 to work too which may be next depending on how if it is accesible for me to modify. I will try to get 2 to work now that I got the Direct Draw Emu program.

 

[Chaotic_Heretic]

Why not translate more of the non-weaboo jap wizardry clones???

Power dolls sounds like some weird pedo sex doll fetish typical of the japs.

 

[MrRichard999]

It's not a bad game if you are intro strategic stuff and mechs. Aweigh is working on the stuff for Wiz Empires 1 but he is in the middle of moving at the moment so it may be some time for that... I got something that is a bit related to Wizardry that is being worked on at the moment and another title as well :D

 

[laclongquan]

It looks interesting~

 

[Humanity has risen!]

Infinitron DarkUnderlord I don't understand why these guys don't have custom titles. They have translated so many gems hidden from Japan, that have 20x more genuine old-school goodness than anything that comes out of Kickstarter. They have about 50 projects made. They did more for what the Codex stands for than anyone short of probably Vault Dweller. They even started translation projects simply because one or a few Codex users expressed they wished for it. All for free, out of a pure labor of love.

 

[MrRichard999]

I wish Darkunderlord would buy Romhacking.net :D

Its in the hands of some of the most incapable people and I got banned from there due to trying to preserve too much material and defend a ROM hack of Donald Trump in a Donkey Kong 3 hack where he attacks a CNN logo... I am very thankful the codex is here or I would probably would have just thrown in the towel on these projects.

Hey Chaotic, this may satisfy your Wizardry clone appetite... Making good progress on this one so far Will make a thread once more gets done!

Please summon me when you have released it. Wiz empires 2 was awesome.

Also fuck the romhacking.net and hope you have other online/offline backups of your hard work.

Id love to playtest this project whenever you'd like! I'm a big fan of the powerdolls series, for me it really hits that sweet spot in between serious military simulation and cool anime robots. I cant wait to play a powerdolls other than the first!

 

[MrRichard999]

Sorry its been taking so long. Documents are being worked on at the moment though which is good news! I'll send over an invite.

How did you make this make this thing work? I'm a fan since Power Dolls 1 and I tried installing this on my PC but it seems I can't make it work. Be it PD3, 4 or 5. Tried running it on compatibility modes and all but no luck. Are there any set-up that I need to fulfill for this?

 

[Radkill]

Use windows XP or older. If you don't have the hardware to run it, use a partition.

Does a virtual machine count? Installed Window 98 and XP using this method but to no avail. Tried opening the "setup" or "autoexec" on both 98/XP but it doesn't even continue or open.

 

[Radkill]

Whatever you're going to use, select the PD.EXE rather than an installer. Do so after throwing the full installs content in a folder.

Presuming that it eventually leads to this:

Hello. Is this translation still going or is it long dead?

 

[MrRichard999]

I got a bit stuck on it after I upgraded to windows 10 and using a Virtual Machine is not giving me the best setup either... I wish I could ge tthis working in Windows 10 or even with DxWND somehow...

wow your still around three years? Glad your still around at least but lost a bit of hope since your no longer working on it now.

What's your plans for the future then? Are you thinking of translating the other games? Cause I just found three other games in the series. Power Dolls 1, 4 and 5. I actually bought them all. XD
And part 4 runs good on windows 10! Just 1 and 5 have to set it on XP service pack 3. Full screen tho, can't seem to set to window mode. But all and all, runs good.

Power Dolls 1 happens to be a remake of the first dos game. That's kool, so if your thinking of coming back translating again. That'll be most amazing... but I can only dream...

Anyway here's the games on DLsite and they're on sale till May 10!

Helps that Kogado are still alive and kicking, unlike most independent Japanese devs from the 80s\90s.

I did buy those as well and had to return them because whoever did the digital versions messed it up in a way so that the games can only be installed on Japanese/English Windows OS. So if you can't set your entire OS language up that way, you are straight up screwed.

Ah, and this applies to several other digital Kogado games I bought as well.

Have you tried locale emulator?
It runs specif program sin jap locale.

Of course I did but like I said, it requires the whole OS to be set in those languages since it checks for certain rights and those have to use a specific spelling (that's why English Windows OS works as well since Japanese just c&p'ed stuff) which is why simple programs like Locale Emulator don't work.

 

[SerratedBiz]

Kids today are so entitled: I used to switch Windows to Japanese language for an hour at a time so I could look at beautiful pixel titties, and made sure to make the switch back to English so my parents wouldn't suspect anything.

I was grateful to just have that option.
