Radia Menu Translation Beta One
by Dayeigth


O.K. I just really wanted to release this before September 7th <G> so that
maybe someone will actually notice it.  So that being the case its pretty
bareboned.

Whats done: Most of fighting menu, travel menu and inventory menu.  I have
            translated some other things too, but some have not yet been
            implemented.

What I plan to accomplish: All menu's and items.  I don't speak Japanese and
                           my dictionary isn't that good.  Perhaps the awesome
                           intro may get translated to.  I will also be
                           writing a Walkthrough for the game, to be released
                           in the next release.

Why is Radia a bitch to translate: Doesn't work on Nesticle .40, and in .34
                                   it doesn't load the font into the patterns.
                                   Thanx a zillion to chr2pcx!!!  Also, 3
                                   seperate font databases, 2 that were English
                                   prior to the hack.  Took a while to find the
                                   hex that represented what.  Accents!!  Unlike
                                   the Godsend ff3j that gives you two spaces
                                   per accent, this bitch has fucked up coding
                                   that makes it tough to even surch for, and
                                   only one byte!  Oi vey!

Why Radia?   Play for one minute, and just see how you get to fight!!  Good
             graphics, kinda bad sound, low learning curve, but picks up
             around the first hour, after you get your third companion, where
             I'm at.

Help wanted: If I can get one good/fluent Japanese translator, I'll also then
             take another rom editor.  BTW I _would not_ be project leader,
             "power" would be shared equally.  'Cept I get to keep where your
             friend says "Oi!". :)

Props: Emunews guy for his site, archaic-ruins also, whoever coded pcx2chr,
       and Demi for the Konami World translation.  Zophar's message board for
       almost intelligent discussion.
