# Ecco Jr. Translation Project

![](header.png)

This fan projects provides a German translation for [Ecco Jr.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ecco_Jr.) for the SEGA Mega Drive.

## Info about translation

* Has to have same number of newlines as original string

* Has to have same length as original string

## How to Build

1. Use `make patch` to create the patch

2. This will download dependencies and will do the actual patching:

   1. `write.py` writes language tables to a file. We defined the offset of the ASCII encoded text from the original game.

   2. `enrich.py` takes the content from `strings_de.txt` and enriches it into the language table at `texts.json`

   3. `write.py` reads the content from the enriched language table and writes it back to rom at the given offsets

3. An IPS patch will be created
