Yooo, I never thought this would get a translation! One of the VERY few RPGs on the N64, glad it got one!

you have to skip the checksum

Huh ?
The patch applied fine as is using the No-Intro (BigEndian) rom for me.
Here it is:

workupload - Are you a human?

I used Ares to test, just format sram when asked.

 

[mlastes1987]

yeah on gopher64, pj64 v4 dev (which the dev listed as the best option outside of console), parallel and ares I'm still getting the glitch at the orphanage after beating the mansion. Saving hasn't been a problem, it's just getting past that point.

Prepare for trouble, make It double.

I can see very heavy influence took from the Pokemon anime.

 

[Toast Rider]

Gotta ask, just since it wasn't specified. Was AI used in the translation process?

you need ask zoinky for the answer.

 

[The Regulus Blue]

It keeps showing me this in Project64 so I can't save it internally, even though I have memory pak enabled.

Does it happen to anyone else?

try use mupen64 or the later.

 

[mlastes1987]

You have to toggle settings for the game specifically (right click and go to game settings) and enable SRAM for save method, and set the number below it to 3. Good luck.

 

[The Regulus Blue]

I found out, you have to set the rom to run as Interpreter.

 

[mlastes1987]

I'm testing on rosalie's mupen gui right now let me know if you can get to the orphanage after beating the mansion. The game glitches making it unable to play the cutscene and progress.

I tried patching it myself and kept getting errors, figured that either there was something wrong with the patch or rom, or I was doing something stupid, been waiting for it to show up in the repo instead

I didn't get an issue but try ignoring the checksum

I had similar problems trying to patch the game using XdeltaUI, it kept throwing errors that it "couldn't find the path specified."

This happened because there's non-standard character in the patch folder directory (the "Ū" in "majyŪ"). Rename the patch folder to something like "Zool ENG translation" and this should fix it. Using a rom from the NoIntro set, it patched and ran fine in Retroarch's Mupen64 core for the 30 minutes I played it.

As far as the translation method goes -- Zoinkity has done many J>EN N64 translations for more than a decade now. The included readme doesn't say anything about using machine translation or an LLM, so we can be fairly confident that this one was done by humans.
