FIRE EMBLEM: GENEALOGY OF TORDO
REVOLUTION V1.13
TRANSLATION PATCH V0.1
11/04/21
This is a translation patch for the hack Genealogy of Tordo, a Japanese hack of Genealogy of the Holy War.
The premise of the hack is similar to the many "Genealogy of" hacks: as the name implies, the Tordo family are the protagonists.
Bad things are happening to Jugdral, and Tiltyu must fight to stop these!
HOW TO PATCH:
The original patch required a headered rom, and this translation requires one too.
No, I can't tell you where to get one.
Grab Lunar IPS, apply the patch, and away you go. If it doesn't work, you probably applied it to an unheadered rom.
Download a tool to add one on, or add 0x200 bytes of nothing to the start of the rom with a hex editor.
This probably won't concern you if you're grabbing this from somewhere outside the FE romhacking community, but .ups patches are standard within it. Hence, they're included as well. Replace Lunar IPS with NUPS.
The "...Patched" variants are to be applied on a rom with Genealogy of Tordo already applied. The required version can be found in the original distribution folder.
WHAT'S IN HERE?
The patch, of course. TheEnd translated some parts of older versions of the accompanying documentation, and you can find these as well. The latest documentation and patch are included too, but do be aware they are still in Japanese.
FAQ:
Q: "LitGodSw"? What the hell does that mean?
A: I kept the flavour descriptions as best as I could - eight characters doesn't allow for much.
I'd be open to axing them and replacing them with actually practical ones ("AutoCrit" or something to that effect in the Vajra's case) but the character limits are annoyingly small.
Q: Hey! You mistranslated this name. It's actually (insert Kaga Saga name)!
A: Please let me know. I took most item and class names from TheEnd's translations, and there is no guarantee they match with the translation patches. Berwick Saga arena enemies are also likely incorrect.
Q: Hey! According to the Choose Your Legends poll-
A: I have no interest or intent on following its terminology. Do not bother me with such enquiries, and do not expect a response if you insist on making one.
Q: Ew, J2E menus are hideous. Why don't you use Project Naga's?
A: Project Naga is built very differently internally, and is not compatible with any hacks. Trying to implement its menu work is an impossibility.
Q: So what exactly am I getting here?
A: All the menus and menu-related text. Dialogue is not touched and there are no plans to translate it. If you find untranslated menu text, please let me know.
Q: Headers? In 2021? Get out of the stone age!
A: Pretty much all hacking documentation of FE4 out there assumes the thing is present. I don't like it either, but converting it all to unheadered sounds nightmarish. Hence, header.
