[Project / Recruitment] Future Card Buddyfight: Strongest Buddy! (3DS) — English Fan Translation

Hi everyone!

With the tools and reverse-engineering framework from our previous Cardfight!! Vanguard G: Stride to Victory project working smoothly, work has officially started on Future Card Buddyfight: Tanjou! Ore-tachi no Saikyou Buddy! (Strongest Buddy!) for the Nintendo 3DS!

Since our extraction/injection pipelines are already fully functional, the technical groundwork is mostly set. Now, we are looking for collaborators to help bring this project to life!

🤝 We Are Looking For:

  • Translators (JPN ➔ ENG): To translate story dialogue, card text, tutorials, and UI menus.
  • Proofreaders & Editors: To polish phrasing and ensure accuracy with official Buddyfight TCG terminology.
  • Graphic Editors: To edit translated text onto extracted UI textures and banner graphics (GIMP / Photoshop templates provided).

Whether you can translate a full section, edit a few graphics, or just proofread, any help is greatly appreciated!

[RELEASE] Cardfight!! Vanguard G: Stride to Victory — English Fan Translation (Alpha 2.0)

Hi everyone!

We just dropped the Alpha 2.0 patch for Cardfight!! Vanguard G: Stride to Victory on Nintendo 3DS!

> ⚠️ Note on Translation & Recruitment:
> This release still relies primarily on machine translation. While fully playable, it contains rough phrasing.
> We are actively looking for translators (JPN ➔ ENG), proofreaders, and graphic editors to help us build a clean, high-quality human translation! If you're interested, please reach out!

🌐 Downloads & Links

✨ What's New in Alpha 2.0

  • Improved Card Text: Card text formatting and fitting have been significantly cleaned up.
  • New Graphical Assets: Additional UI/menu images translated and integrated.
  • ExHeader Patched: Added patched ExHeader support.
  • Bugfixes: Cleared up translation artifacts in code.

🛠️ Installation Guide

🎮 Real 3DS (Luma3DS)

  1. Ensure you have Luma3DS installed on your console.
  2. Hold SELECT while booting your 3DS to open the Luma menu and enable "Enable game patching".
  3. Extract the downloaded .zip file.
  4. Copy the 0004000000170500 folder to sdmc:/luma/titles/ on your SD card (merge/replace files if prompted). You also need to move exefs/code.bin in the 0004000000170500 folder ( near exheader.bin )

💻 Emulator (Citra / Azahar)

  1. Right-click the game in your emulator's game list.
  2. Select "Open Mods Location".
  3. Copy the extracted romfs folder into that directory (the full path should end with <emulator_folder>/load/mods/0004000000170500/).
  4. Overwrite existing files if prompted.

⚠️ Known Issues

  • Text formatting, line breaks, and UI alignment may still be slightly off in a few menus.
  • Inaccuracies remain in story dialogue and card descriptions due to auto-translation.

We're looking for contributors to help translate Cardfight!! Vanguard G: Stride to Victory into English.

Hello, we're looking for contributors to help translate Cardfight!! Vanguard G: Stride to Victory into English.

The technical pipeline is already well advanced with working text extraction, injection scripts, and font handling, though we still have a bit of reverse engineering and debugging left to tackle.

We need translators (JA to EN), proofreaders, testers, and anyone interested in helping with the remaining technical quirks. To help out, all you need is a PC, Python, and Citra (or a hacked 3DS).

Drop a comment, shoot me a DM, or drop a message on the GBA Temp topic

CFV - Stride to Victory!! Investigations Fan Translation

Hi, I'm currently working on translating *CardFight!! Vanguard G – Stride to Victory!!* on 3DS. I've already managed to successfully patch the *code.bin* (although it's not quite clean yet). And now I'm tackling the ROMFS files. Right now, I'm working on a file type called '.rtz' these are sort of individual containers holding scenes (ex : tutorial1, tutorial2, ...). I've managed to understand the structure of these files correctly, but when I edit them, I get some strange crashes:

Is there a kind soul out there who could spare a little time to give me an outside perspective ? Feel free to ask if you have any question about it :)
