Also, if this was easy for you to do(made an app for it, or something?), could you do it with all the files and send me?
To insert changed text, I have been editing the extracted files in a hex editor (ultra edit) then reinserting them into Pack.dat with a second tool I made, then reinserting Pack.dat back into the ISO. But that method means you have to "translate around" all the data junk (pointers etc). If you translate the text-dump files (attached earlier), we'll either have to manually type the new text over the Japanese in a hex editor or take the time to figure out the pointer table format enough to automate the process.
I "cleaned" the text by using a few "search and replace" operations in XVI32 (attached) , which is a a hex editor that supports wild cards. The wildcard feature is a bit confusing, but attached is a picture; mark the "joker char hex" box and type a value into the field to the right, whatever you type will count as the wildcard in the fields above.
"0d0a" is the standard line-break hex value so:
replace "00" with "0d0a" (replaces blank letter slots with line-breaks)
replace "0d0a 0d0a" with "0d0a" several times (removes multiple line breaks next to each other)
replace "0d0a * 0d0a" with "0d0a" (removes some generic data between text lines)
replace "0d0a * * 0d0a" with "0d0a" (removed rest of the generic data between text lines)
The only junk left should be the pointer tables, but they are easy to see/delete in Notepad++.
