Sega Rally 2006

PlayStation 2

Game Description

Translation Description

Sega Rally 2006, with as much text as possible translated into English for ease of navigation. It was achieved by editing the core asset file, DATA.FAB, with a hex editor; the file appears to be unencrypted, allowing it to be modified.

See the README for installation instructions and compatibility information. You must have a copy of the original game.

Notable translations
- Career Mode intro and profile creation.
- Career Mode top menus (Calendar, trophies, etc.).
- Calendar race names, vehicle restrictions, and rewards.
- Garage and Shop menus, including part and tire names, descriptions, and tuning menu.
- Pre-race splash screens.
- Sponsorship contract tutorials and objectives.

Limitations
- Translations are NOT meant to be accurate. The UTF-16LE encoding format means the *exact* same number of bytes must be used as the original text, and Japanese can fit a lot more information in less space than English (especially without spaces!).
- Graphics that display text (read: not actual text) are not translated. While textures can be found, an easy way to edit them is not currently available.
- Limited testing has been done at writing, and undiscovered bugs may be present.

Tools and Credits
- u/o-marshmallow, inital information on this topic.
- wxMEdit, UTF-16LE support out of the box.
- Durik256p, TextureFinder Python script, and by extension Noesis to run it.
