### MOTHER 2 Translation for the GBA
This is a work-in-progress translation patch for MOTHER 2 on the GBA.
### Discord
Our Discord server is pretty active: https://discord.gg/ADXS5Ub
### Hasn't it been done?
There are at least two other projects that translate the MOTHER 2 side of the game:
- Mato's menu text translation: [here](http://mother12.earthboundcentral.com/)

### Dependencies
If you want to just use the graphical tool to help with the translation, you just need .NET 4.5.1. If you want to actually compile the hack code and test it out, you will need [armips](https://github.com/Kingcom/armips). The game also crashes horribly 99% of the time in its current state, so there's no point in trying it.
### Compiling
That said, if you do want to try compiling this thing:
1. One-time setup
1. Find a MOTHER 1+2 GBA ROM, name it `m12fresh.gba`, and copy it to the root of the repository. Mine has a SHA-1 hash `F27336B9C96CA2D06C34E07A61A78538DEAC32B3`.
2. Only if you need to decompile stuff from EarthBound: repeat the above step for the EarthBound SNES ROM, named `eb.smc`, SHA-1 hash `D67A8EF36EF616BC39306AA1B486E1BD3047815A`. You can probably get away with any EB ROM that's unheadered.
3. Build `ScriptTool`: open `ScriptTool/ScriptTool.sln` in Visual Studio and build the solution in Debug mode. This is a tool that compiles all of the JSON files from `working/` into ASM and BIN files. There's also a GUI tool to help with editing the main script file. You might have to right-click the solution in Visual Studio and 'Restore NuGet Packages'.
* **Important**: re-build ScriptTool if you change between master and compiled-vwf!
4. Repeat the above step for `SymbolTableBuilder`.
5. If you're on the compiled-vwf branch:
1. Build `compiled/Amalgamator/Amalgamator.sln`.
2. Grab the latest release of [armips](https://github.com/Kingcom/armips/releases) and copy `armips.exe` to the repository root.
3. Download and install [GNU Arm Embedded Toolchain](https://developer.arm.com/open-source/gnu-toolchain/gnu-rm/downloads) (anything newer than 6-2017-q1-update should work). Make sure it ends up in your PATH environment variable (the installer should take care of this).
2. Building the ROM
1. Run `insert.bat`. This will generate `m12.gba` in the repository root, which has everything compiled and inserted.
