Hi
I project to translate PSX game Silent Hill into french, i currently work with ePSXe, a cue/bin ROM image of the game and Hexecute as search/replace hexa tool.
No pb with menu translation :

but I can't find string for variable text like item's one (Handgun received...)

It can be crypted, compressed or memory text :wacko:

Another problem, there are 4 files in the .bin :
- SYSTEM.CNF
- SLUS_007.07
- SILENT
- HILL

I currently do direct text replacement into the .bin file, it works fine but I would like to edit only the SILENT file which contains the text. I have tried to edit the file then rebuild the ROM with CD_DVD-ROM Generator 1.50 and iml2isov1.2 but I can't make the iso to run with ePSXe, black screen on boot, I must forget something.
Need your help ;)

Perhaps it's better to check a site such as http://romhacking.deadbeat-inc.com ;)

Perhaps PSX CD-Gen (http://personales.ya.com/shohoku/PSxCDGen.zip) helps you, specially with IsoBuster tree listing.

Big thanks to habgard for the tool. :p
The only way to rebuild the ROM is PSX CD-Gen (http://personales.ya.com/shohoku/PSxCDGen.zip) , iml file + iml2iso or psx2hd + stripiso + buildcd doesn't work with my image.
