Just a small update. I got an Email from SpSpiff who is translating the scriptrs for Dragon Quest 1 and 2. He is the translator behind Byuu's Dragon Quest 5 translation. The number of scripts are 5 blocks at 248 KB. So its not that bad. He is on the 4th block now. And I have been trying to come up with a hack that would make it so I don't have to insert all the script manually. Thanks to Dark Force's idea. Also, Ive done a few small fixes to the game in the meantime. So things are progressing nicely, but no screenshots or visuals to show it yet.

Just a note to say thanks to Pendy at Dragon Quest News Network (DQNN). It was Pendy's idea to have us hosted on the Alefgard network. I also added them to the links section. They have the best info on anything Dragon Quest/Dragon Warrior. So thanks again! I have moved the animated pic from Dragon Quest 1 and 2 to HERE (our dq12 project page). And I'm updating what has been done and what needs to be done. The page should be done by next week. Also I stated before that the 2 line items in battle were fixed. But, they are not working 100% yet. I found a bug that's very hard to fix, so I've moved on to other things in the project to get it closer to a beta release. I also want to say thanks to Dark Force from DeJap! (By the way their site is back up!) When he was helping me out a while back I had sent him all my files. So now I have my Kanji table back. And because of that was able to redump the scripts and send them off to SpSpiff, who has a full English translation already. He just has to copy and paste the English. (Not as easy as it sounds.) If all is well with the scripts, when I get them back I'll start inserting it. But I may have to insert it manually, because of the way that the pointers and control codes are embedded in with the text. So be patient my little Drakees, it will get done. If someone reading this has a high level skill in 65816 ASM and C/C++ and can come up with a better way to accomplish the insertion, please notify me HERE. While I'm in the thank you mood... thank you to Gideon Zhi for all your advice on various stuff! And, thank you to Byuu who has helped me out a lot! And Squall for his intensive testing, and wonderful ideas.
