Hello,

support for the PAL version would be very nice :-)

Someone would have to disassemble those specific roms to extract the German and French scripts, and even then the changes required would probably be too extensive for a matching codebase. A modernized version of the codebase could eventually reach a state where editing the script is trivial. But so far no devs have come forward wanting to do such a thing so that assets are all PNG, TXT, and TMX .

What currently works is modifying dialog.txt after extraction and then calling python compile_resources.py to build a zelda3_assets.dat with changed texts. I've managed to extract the dialogs from the retranslation patch.

I've taken a stab at locating the texts in the German version by searching for an encoded version of some text snippets, but that attempt was not successful. I assume that the encoding is different due to the addition of umlauts.
