I just wanted to say a huge thanks for posting the links to UltraEdit and NJWIN - NJStar CJK Viewer over at the Rigg site :)
I going to try my hand at Spriggan Mark2 as the S-JIS appears to be uncompressed with roman fonts.

Now I just need to figure out the string control variables and such ;D
I feel giddy ;D

That game looks cool. Good luck with the project!

That looks like it's one of those games where ASCII codes fetch S-JIS equivalents from the System Card 16x16 font. Several games do that, but it's an ugly wide-spaced, fixed-width font, so... You'll also have issues as to how much you can fit in a line and the like. To me, unless you can hack the font, it's not worth pursuing, but that's me. I posted this in another thread just now, but it's applicable here:

Is it worth dedicating your time for a whole game with an English font like that is the question? I always chose No, except for SO2 where Tru (a known pce fan) said he would manage the project thereafter, if I helped him get it started. He abandoned it eventually, so it's officially dead.

You mean like Breath of Fire? :D
I'll use the 16x16 fonts for now, until I can change the routine to point to a different set of fonts.
I wonder how difficult it would be to use 16x16 2 letter combine fonts like "th" and "e ".
The first level looks like there's plenty of room to extend the string data. I think I figured out all the string control chars, so I just need to translate the text.
Sort of off topic but-
DS: The Legend of Heros (U) has some sort of partial ascii text storage method. I was going to try and compare it with the JP version, in hopes to find similarity to TLOH II text (I'm betting on it using the same engine). Problem is I can't find the TLOH (J) iso.
He abandoned it eventually, so it's officially dead.
Why did he abandoned it?
