- Resource Hacke r which lets me view, extract and replace most of the contents of an executable file (DQXConfig.exe).Thanks to Google for leading me to the following two main tools necessary for translating it: See NOTES section below for more details about the way I translated stuff.
If you need clarifications about the options, feel free to ask it here. In most cases, I wasn't/am not able to fit grammatically correct descriptions in the Tool Tips so they end up sounding like Engrish. Lol!), grammatical mistakes (English isn't my native language), please let me know about it here and I'll work on it as soon as I have lots of free time again. I'd really appreciate your feedback! Commments, questions and suggestions are more than welcome!Īnd if you could point out typos (other than the one you can see in the screenshot above. I guess those text only come up as prompts that pop up on a particular occasion (errors, etc.) and some texts for debugging, which I mostly left alone. There are some that I couldn't find in the menus itself. I tried translating all the Japanese texts I could find in the executable and I believe I've translated about 90 - 95%. There were times that I felt like pulling my hair but in the end, I think it's all worth it! At first I thought that undertaking this project wouldn't be that hard because the things needed to be translated aren't that many judging by the things we can see in the Config at first glance. I worked on this project around the last week of December until the first week of January (about 2 weeks), losing sleep over it. My Japanese is still that of a Kindergarten student though! I just started Intermediate Japanese grammar last month but I've put it on hold because I no longer have lots of free time. I've been studying Japanese almost daily for more than 6 months now. If ever you don't trust Mediafire (I read what was probably a conspiracy theory about Mediafire tweaking unprotected files), please let me know of a better alternative to upload it to. All I did was hex edit certain files in the executable where the Japanese texts are stored and recompiled it. How tos for hex editing isn't that too hard to Google.
I'm just another DQ fan who simply has good Googling skills.
I've scanned it with a free version of Avast and Malware Bytes before uploading and scanned the Mediafire download as well just to make sure. I don't have any knowledge whatsoever about developing viruses, etc. I'm actually surprised when Woodus pinned this almost as soon as I posted it! I guess that he already ran it through different anti-virus programs and made sure this isn't a Mimic.Įven though I might sound a lot more suspicious by saying so (because I might appear persuasive), I'm still going ahead and inform you that this is virus/malware-free and it definitely doesn't have a built-in key logger of sorts.
First and foremost, I know that there's a perfectly good reason to be suspicious with this, I'll mention below the programs needed if ever you decide to create your own translation instead of downloading and using the ones I worked on.
