Bomberman Wars PlayStation Patch!

Thanks to denim and his beautiful hacking abilities, you can now play the PSX version of Bomberman Wars with full English text! Over the past few months, denim has kept in touch with me, requesting further translations for stuff I'd missed while he worked diligently on a patch for the game. Today, it is released to the public!  

You can find the patch here!

Please give this game a try if you haven't already. It's one of my personal favourites!

Old Post/Full Translation Below

I've been playing Bomberman Wars (PSX) lately, and decided to translate some of it. I don't plan on actually hacking the text in the game, because I have no idea how to do that, likely never will know how to do that, and if I did find out it would probably take more time than I have available. But, here's what I have so far.

Firstly, the main menu. If you see *, that means that those appear in the submenu - for example, when you choose "Quest Mode", you see those three boxes with the * before them. On the Options menu. I missed a kana for the D-Pad, but it's self-explanatory.

Yeah I know the Voice Acting section is laughable. I was just surprised to have figured at least one of them right. Oh hey, the VA section isn't as terrible anymore.

Now, as for why I put this topic here. I was going to put it in Bomberman Emulation but I really don't think I could hack the text and I highly doubt anyone else would, even provided translations. I also thought about putting it in Game Help but it's more than just that. I definitely want to keep this separate from the Manuals topic.

EDIT: Added these sections: Save Screen, Rule Explanation (only buttons and title), Battle Formation, Castle Guards. Now, I KNOW there must be a final secret character because there's a space for it, but I can't seem to unlock it. I thought it was going to be the hidden boss, where you go back to the place you've already beaten and the opposing King is replaced with the boss, but then I found out there are two secret bosses. All I can guess is that the final character must be that regular-looking Bomberman in Aqua Bomber's stage. But how to get it, I don't know.

EDIT 2: For how to get the final secret character, see the second post in this topic.

EDIT 3 (3/7/10): Fixed a mistake... I had Ninja Bomber's Move attribute at 1 instead of 2. Didn't make sense as 1 because then his Leap Spec would be useless.

EDIT 4 (8/7/13): Changed "Samurai Bomber" to "Bomber Musashi". I'm not sure why I forgot to fix this so long ago.

EDIT 5 (11/7/13): Added a message that I'd missed (new unit available). Changed the same guard's normal message "Battle Formation" into "Party Formation", which is what it really says (what a weird oversight). Changed all of the dashes (-) to chōonpu (ー).

EDIT 6 (9/7/15): Changed "MAX" to "Units". Not sure what I was thinking back then.

EDIT 7 (12/16/15): Added "not enough money" and "item purchased" messages above, on request.

EDIT 8 (12/17/15): Added initial info box and exiting screen text for the battle formation screen, also on request.

EDIT 9 (12/26/15): Added "save canceled" message.

EDIT 10 (12/26/15): Cleaned up the Options Mode text.

EDIT 11 (12/28/15): Added "no controller connected" and "wins" counter text.

EDIT 12 (12/29/15): Added the Rules Explanation section.

EDIT 13 (12/30/15): Added three messages for save/load errors regarding memory cards.

EDIT 14 (12/30/15): Cleaned up the VA section a bit and added some translations I'd done in the past but never updated here.

Aha! Nice to see someone do this professionally. I attempted a translation myself, but, uh, it wasn't very good. At all. It was mostly just for personal notes while playing, but it was in terrible, terrible shape. I'm glad to see this looks like it's going places.
Trying to make sense of some of the uncertain stage names is beyond my skill, but the most I can suggest is changing "bomb count" (of the Loose Bell item) to "bomb countdown." Just for convenience sake, y'know.

Regarding the last Bomberman slot, that's for Prince Bomber (uh, I think! you'd obviously know more about name translations than I would, but I don't have the source text handy). I don't think anywhere explicitly says what precisely you need to do, but basically after you complete a bunch of stages (most sources say ten), you go to the unit select screen in the castle and remove all your Bombermen. Have no one on your team. Then when you re-enter, Prince Bomber will be on the last slot. To my knowledge you can't capture him like you would with any other unit.
Though... don't suppose you know how you encounter the secret bosses? I don't think I ever bothered looking for them, and admittedly it wasn't until I ripped the sprites from the PlayStation version about a year or so ago that I got concrete evidence that they actually existed; I don't even know where I heard about them in the first place, but then it sounded like badly translated nonsense. It's Honey and Kotetsu, btw.

Awesome to see all the stage names translated, as although they're incredibly minor, it's always neat to know what they say (any chance of translating those Saturn Bomberman Fight!! stage names? =P ). Regarding a text hack, man, I wish I knew how, but unfortunately do not. It's really only the merchant screen, the battle commands and the ending (I think) that use the proper font, though - a huge amount of text is just individual image files, even the tutorial screens. If someone was good enough with graphics to recreate the fonts in English then that would be pretty neat, and I imagine if you were polite you could wrangle someone from ROMhacking.net to take care of the text stuff.

_________________

So...I'm assuming you played this via emulation. If so how did you do it? I'm having a bit of trouble with PS1 and Sega Saturn emulators. I asked this question in the emulation forum once but I don't think anybody answered me.

Oh, I see now (about Prince Bomber). Thanks for the heads-up!
And yeah you're right, it should be bomb "countdown", not "count".

As for the secret bosses, I first noticed that page in the manual where it just has a big question mark. It reads something like:
隠しキャラがどこかにいる - Secret character somewhere
一度クリアしたステ-ジも, もう一回行ってみよう. どこに隠しキャラがいる.
Once a stage is cleared, try going once again. A secret character is somewhere.

So basically, after clearing the stage "Buzzing Canyon" (middle on left side), play it again and you'll get to fight Honey. After clearing the stage "Jibongu" (Japanese stage w/ pink trees), play it again and you'll fight Kotetsu.
If you try it, watch out with Honey. Firstly, the stage has a line of hard and soft blocks separating you from the opponents. Secondly, she has a massive range for setting bombs, and as a boss can set more than one! Even when you get to be able to predict her attacking methods, she can still be a pain.

About the fonts (or lack thereof), I'd think that would actually be really really good for a text hack, mostly because of how those stage names are much longer in Japanese. Could go for that tall and skinny font like in the English version of SB3 (If I remember right). If I ever get everything translated in the game I might think about hitting someone up who has the expertise to hack it. Although, I'd like to translate all the voice acting too, but I'm very terrible at that because I've spent all my time focusing on written Japanese. I thought Fire Bomber's attack was "Raging Fire" but it's really "Breaking Fire".

Oh yeah, Man-Frog, I thought I remembered somebody asking about that before. Here's what I did:
Get the emulator "ePSXe"
You can get the rom from Zophar's Domain
Once everything's all set, run ePSXe and choose File>Run ISO, then choose the .img file (if you got the same one I did, it's "Bomberman Wars [NTSC - JAP].img"

BIG NOTE!!!: For this topic, due to the nature of the subject, I'll be posting -all- updates to translation in the first post.

Thanks for that tidbit. Now all I have to do is figure out how Saturn emulation works and I'll be good to go.

Nice! I've been planning on importing a copy of this game for Sega Saturn eventually cause it's definately one of the Bomberman games I don't have yet that I've been very interested in.

This is the kick in the ass I've been needing, I think once I'm moved into my new apartment next week I'll hit up Ebay.

Keep working on it dood. I'll definately be one of the guys using it.

_________________

SSF is what you'll want! Though keep in mind that loading games isn't anywhere near as simple as most others where you just select the game file; SSF loads from the CD tray, so either you need to burn the game to a CD, or you can use a program like DAEMON-Tools to load the game in a 'virtual drive', and then changing the settings so SSF will read from that drive (usually labelled Drive E or G or something). It's... kinda awkward to explain, but it's pretty simple once you know what you're doing. Hopefully.

And just for giggles, I threw "だら" (dara) into Google translate. They say it means "litany." Huh.

[EDIT] Just for the sake of completism, would it be worth translating the memory card error message? At least, I assume it's a memory card error. It pops up when I choose Quest Mode. I don't think I've ever had ePSXe set up correctly.

_________________

Man-Frog: Ironic you should say that, last night I got Saturn Bomberman to work. It worked before, but there was no music. I went in to study the sprites (wasn't going to play the game without music   ) and it started. Now I don't know if it's because I had to reconfigure my sound to record from the computer (first time on Vista, I think, so things were odd), or if I had downloaded a different version of it and forgot to try it yet. In any case if you have trouble with music ask me, I couldn't find any help on the internet.

Regulus: Awesome! Glad I can be of help.

Ragey: Yeah I don't understand the "da-radara" thing, but when he first appears he makes all kinds of odd noises, I'm wondering if it's not supposed to be intelligible (like some kind of animal language or something).

And yeah, that message is saying that your memory card is full and it can't save your progress. Not sure why that would come up in an emulator... Anyway it's added to the first post now. Technically where I wrote "memory units" in the second line, it says something like "location" or "place" instead of "memory", but it's easier to understand for English speakers as "memory units" in my opinion.

EDIT: Added translation for the Battle Mode.

Good work. Have you considered trying to submit the translated menus to GameFAQs?

_________________
Metroid: Other M - As in "There's the good Metroid games... we chose to do one of some Other Make altogether."

Yeah I have actually, there's not much there right now.

Hey... hey hey - Serkol! You're back!!  

EDIT: Added the sections Status Bar, Action Commands, and Winning Messages. Added the "Confirmation Box" to the Miscellaneous section. Modified the Voice Acting section and added one for Cyclone Bomber.

One other thing: Where am I supposed to put the BIOS file?

Make a folder called "BIOS" (not sure if this matters). Then when you open SFF, click on "Option (O)" and on the first tab, "Peripheral", under "Saturn BIOS" click [Browse] and navigate to the BIOS file. Also make sure you adjust the Area Code at the bottom of that window to whatever region you're playing, and under Cartridge choose 4GB. For the CD Drive, you need to choose your actual CD Drive location if you're playing a real Saturn CD, or if not, you need to choose the Virtual Drive you created, if you're using DAEMON Tools Lite lke I am it probably will be "OFE" and then a bunch of numbers and characters.

If you don't hear any music, try going to the "Program3" tab and un-checking the CD Track/Index box. I'm not sure if there's anything else to do but that was the final straw in getting mine to work.

I actually chose to burn the ROM into a blank disk and play it from the actual disk drive. There's music on the menus but not in the main game (so far all I'm playing on here is Saturn Bomberman Fight!! and it's great). I'll try the method you just mentioned.

EDIT: The Program 3 tab already had the CD Index box un-checked. :P

Hmm... Well, here are my current settings that might be relevant:

Sound Tab: Linear Flitering checked, Buffer Size [1024], Interval [1/2]
Program1 Tab: Both "CD Block" settings unchecked, Sound Thread unchecked
Program3 Tab: "No BIOS" is checked, CD Track/Index unchecked

If changing stuff doesn't help, try hitting one of the [Set] buttons on the "EZ Setting" tab.
If that still doesn't work, try adjusting the sound settings on your computer. If you're using XP, I think there's something about letting it play "from CD" or something of the like, I seem to remember having trouble with an old game on my previous computer (the music not working) and got the music to work by changing that. If you're using Vista, I'm not sure. I only changed my "recording device" to "Stereo Mix" between not having music and having music, but that technically shouldn't affect anything.

Pretty darn sweet, sir.   It's not a bad game if you're bored, well, the Saturn version. I have not ever gotten around to PS1 emulation despite my brother's insistence to give it a go. Thank you very much for the info.

_________________

Woah. Old topic is old. But I think I finally figured out the meaning of the stage name "Jibongu". In fact it is so obvious that I feel like an idiot for not figuring this out before.

Jibongu.
Jipangu.

The stage looks like a classic Japanese setting, pink trees and all. It's a play on Japan, with the word "bon" (bomb) inserted cleverly.

Correct me if I'm wrong.

(...Holy crap, has it really been this long? No way...)

lol, I miss Dragon Bomber. That guy was cool. Hope he's doing well out there.


outside of bmanboard's protective walls....

It's a cold warld out there. Somewhere, Gannondorf is laughing. Laughing... and waiting...

Outside of the board's protective walls. I like that. :D

I have been all over the place interest wise as usual, as many of you know I have interest ADD. Bomberman always has my back but I sometimes dwell on other projects like music, movies, or whatever else. I moved since I last rambled here a ton, into an apt, which has pros and cons. Less display room for bomberman items but more freedom to play bomberman. ;) I volunteer with an at-risk youth mentoring program and outside of work that keeps me pretty worn down, besides my illness that new doctors are still looking for root causes for. Allergies alone should not be turning me into a real robot. :D

I will try to keep up with this place more, and another bman haunt I am sure I have missed good content from. Upside to the mentoring is I have been able to expose new people to bomberman in group game night environments, and they loved it. I also have been working at training young children to beat their adult uncles who are my cousins, with the joke being the adults cried at losing. Not so sure it will be as much a joke as serious business soon. Those kids learn quickly. :>

Take care, people. I need to figure out what I have left undone and target the threads accordingly.

Edit I was pretty tickled a while back to finally start playing a simple version of the main Bomberman theme on guitar. Some zelda stuff, SMB1 overworld theme, random simple songs.
