I saw this a while ago and if I recall, I told him I was not gonna use the 8x8 VWF or the HDMA code for the textbox. I could have easily used it or coded my own. I've done it before in Light Fantasy 2 and found an 8x8 VWF was a waste of time. I could have used HIS code but the 8x8 item list display was soooo slow WITHOUT the VWF code and even slower WITH the code. So when I did a few speed MODs for the list display, The list were still slow thus why it was scrapped.
Playing translations is about speed and content with the text. Pretty does nothing
for the actual game play unless it's a cut scene. When I hack a game, I'm about being efficient
and getting the job done. Who was a dumb blonde when you can have a great conversation
with a brunette.
( Nothing against blondes. ) So basically, we at D-D do have quality in mind
but we don't spend so much of the few resources on cosmetics. A lot of these games take
a lot of reverse engineering that will never get seen.
