Hello everyone. Today i share with you a little mission of mine.
Translate the tactical RPG "Blue Roses: Yousei to Aoi Hitomi no Senshitachi" developed by ApolloSoft and published by Nippon Ichi Software
for the PSP handheld console in 2010.
Let me start by saying that i understand nothing about romhacking and i started studying with this project.
I'm currently understanding the hex tables, how to extract the encrypted text file, where it is based on how the game was programmed etc etc..
As a point of reference I use the sources of romhacking to start with the basics.
I often try to find complete patch documentation just to understand the method of approaching a romhack for psp.
Even if this doesn't give certain results since each game is built differently from the other.
Once I really understand how hexadecimal values work. i then need to understand how to extract, decrypt and edit the right file.
Create the tables with a hexeditor and patch. (And let's not forget that there maybe some graphic changes to be made).
If you would like to leave any kind of advice, I would be infinitely grateful.
The idea of collaborating is obvious.
I'll limit myself to translating all the dialogues, with the help of a native speaker friend, ラムネ RaMuN
Who I thank very much for all his advice or help 
The tools I'm using :
UMDGen with which i can extract and modify the .iso files via ppf patches.
Textractor to extract texts, but not edit them. I can simply identify the string it belongs to, then view the text and translate it.
Other tools to mention :
pspdecrypt
PGD encrypter
UMDReplaceK
quickbms
TranslationAggregator
Chiitrans
With great humility I greet you and I hope to update you soon with actual progress.
