NOTES REGARDING SCRIPTS (CTX)

- Replaced all JAP story SCRIPTS (*.SX) with the US version, except for the following files:

CTX\TimeC\C01A3b

CTX\TimeD\D01B1b
CTX\TimeD\D04A1x

CTX\TimeE\E02E1c
CTX\TimeE\E02E1b
CTX\TimeE\E02D1x
CTX\TimeE\E01E1c
CTX\TimeE\E01E1b
CTX\TimeE\E01D1x
CTX\TimeE\E01C2x
CTX\TimeE\E01A1x
CTX\TimeE\E03D1x

CTX\TimeF\F01B1x
CTX\TimeF\F01A1x
CTX\TimeF\F01C1x

- Above files contains the 'ending story'; which also contains the ENDROLL "pointer".
ENDROLL "Pointer" : this points to the END_ROLL script (a file that will be used during the end scene)
- If I include the US files (script), this creates a LOOP BUG at the END scene, were:
1. your character will remain in the town forever, until you quit/exit your game.
2. your game will crash.

Back on track... still need help on accurate & simple translation on Warriors Mode. Interested to try or help on this project, please PM me: twentytwelvez@yahoo.com
Work notes & resources will be provided. Thanks.

Hey. I can't help but I'd like an xdelta file of what you've got so far.

What an awesome translation. i just found out about this game recently and i must say, this game is very good. it would be disappointing if this game would not be released for us to play the game and understand it. i hope you would find help in this project. wish i could support... best of luck to the way of the samurai 2 portable translation. if progress is scarce, i would like the partial translation of this game.

Oh my foking god!!!

I tried looking for a patch or any team doing this translation since when this game was release. Now I found thanks to gamefaqs!
You rox for doing this!!

BTw You are a samurai fan like me
Did you enjoyed the Sword of the Samurai aka kengo 1 and 2 in ps2?
That game rox too bad that wasn't released for our psp even in japanese =\

Cheers

hmmm. at least someone has seen this. really hope more would support into this translation. this would be a game that needs to be played! nice graphics and nice gameplay!

for me way of the samurai 1,2 and kengo 2 are the best action games for ps2 and having way of samurai 1 and 2 in english for psp is a dream.

Any idea when a first patch is going to be released?

I don't know how long these things take, but it's was almost halfway done almost a year ago. If progress was smooth since then then probably real soon.

Good to know
Thanks XD

Hey guys.
Youre doing a great job with the translation.. i dont know how i could help but i would love to play the game in english again like i did on my ps2.

How can i donate anything to help ?

Hey, is this just for the PSP version, or will the language patch work for the PS2 version, as well?

Yeah, but that's dubbed. I'm looking for Japanese audio with english subtitles.

@OP: I see you're needing help translating "Warrior's challenge" mode.
I might be able to help, as I speak a little Japanese.

Hello!

I can help translate jp to english if you need help.
