Table File Standard, Generic Dumpers, and more!

Nightcrawler has been working hard on some things that may be of interest to the Translation Community. The first of which is a document aiming to be: A reference to the file format, explanation for newcomers, and a helpful reference for programmers. A first draft has already been written. Suggestions and feedback are welcome in hopes that some may choose to adopt it. Adopting a standard would allow for standardized table file features and compatible utilities going forward. Additional details can be found on TransCorp.

The second item of interest is a yet to be named GUI Generic Dumper aiming to meet or exceed Cartographer in functionality for it’s first release. It will be the first utility to follow the new table file format standard (when finalized). An option to output in Atlas 1.1 compatible format is expected. Complimentary native insertion functionality is planned, but the first release will focus on dumping functionality only.

In addition, Nightcrawler has been working on several other items. He’s been tinkering with developing UVWF (SNES Universal VWF) to be applied to the sprite based text in Terranigma. He’s been working on continuing the Tenshi No Uta Project. Lastly, he’s been working with electrochip on experimenting with code that doesn’t work on a home made flash cart, but does on copiers and BSNES to better understand bare bones initialization on the hardware for a potential learner’s kit.

Plenty of additional information on all subjects can be found over at TransCorp!
