Project List / Re: Golden Sun: Dawn of Djinn ...
Last post by JackitK - 11, August, 2024, 02:29:12 PMTaking advantage of the forums being up to make a few quick updates relating to progress on version 2.0...
Long story short, I had to backtrack and redo a lot of work, due to technical issues, but overall mostly past that. Currently, every fight in the game has been worked on at this point. Though most still need testing on the casual version of the mod. But I still have a bit of ways to go between fine tuning boss fights, especially the super boss fight and doing one more round of review/refinement. Both for veteran (new name I have for challenge/default difficulty) and casual mode.
There's also an assortment of other mis. things than still need to be done before release, like minor dialogue adjustments, and all the trailer/promo videos I want to have ready for its release. So no definite date quite yet.
I have made a couple blog posts relating to progress over the past couple months. So you can find out more detail about it all there.

Last post by Caledor - 11, August, 2024, 09:02:54 AMWith the forum back up, i'm leaving a note that TBS has been updated around a month ago to tone down a bit Hydros Statue and Manticore up a bit.
Moreover the detailed changelog, the one that was found in the former download section of the forum, is now shipped with the patches

Project List / Golden Sun But With Dogs
Last post by JackitK - 21, April, 2024, 07:05:35 PMA small mod I made for April Fools. Plays like the original Golden Sun 1, with a lot more dog NPCs. Also features some other quirky changes, like changes to dialogue, books, and minor changes to prologue enemies. The mod basically ends after Vault. So while you can continue playing it beyond that point, you shouldn't expect anything to be different beyond that point.
You can find the link to the mod patch here.
The videos below showcase the majority of the changes the mod makes, for those of you who don't/can't go through the trouble of patching the game and playing it for yourself.

I'm afraid it must be some issue with the emulator itself.
It does however work on all other GBA emulators on PSP/Vita.
That being said TBS Reloaded works flawlessly on gpSP so far.

Open Discussion / Here is Practical Explanation ...
Last post by satya-sandhah - 24, December, 2023, 02:59:20 AMPractical Explanation ( For Example ) :- `1st of all can you tell me every single seconds detail from that time when you born ?? ( i need every seconds detail ?? that what- what you have thought and done on every single second )
can you tell me every single detail of your `1 cheapest Minute Or your whole hour, day, week, month, year or your whole life ??
if you are not able to tell me about this life then what proof do you have that you didn't forget your past ? and that you will not forget this present life in the future ?
that is Fact that Supreme Lord Krishna exists but we posses no such intelligence to understand him.
there is also next life. and i already proved you that no scientist, no politician, no so-called intelligent man in this world is able to understand this Truth. cuz they are imagining. and you cannot imagine what is god, who is god, what is after life etc.
_______
for example :Your father existed before your birth. you cannot say that before your birth your father don,t exists.
So you have to ask from mother, "Who is my father?" And if she says, "This gentleman is your father," then it is all right. It is easy.
Otherwise, if you makes research, "Who is my father?" go on searching for life; you'll never find your father.
( now maybe...maybe you will say that i will search my father from D.N.A, or i will prove it by photo's, or many other thing's which i will get from my mother and prove it that who is my Real father.{ So you have to believe the authority. who is that authority ? she is your mother. you cannot claim of any photo's, D.N.A or many other things without authority ( or ur mother ).
if you will show D.N.A, photo's, and many other proofs from other women then your mother. then what is use of those proofs ??} )
same you have to follow real authority. "Whatever You have spoken, I accept it," Then there is no difficulty. And You are accepted by Devala, Narada, Vyasa, and You are speaking Yourself, and later on, all the acaryas have accepted. Then I'll follow.
I'll have to follow great personalities. The same reason mother says, this gentleman is my father. That's all. Finish business. Where is the necessity of making research? All authorities accept Krsna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead. You accept it; then your searching after God is finished.
Why should you waste your time?
_______
all that is you need is to hear from authority ( same like mother ). and i heard this truth from authority " Srila Prabhupada " he is my spiritual master.
im not talking these all things from my own.
___________
in this world no `1 can be Peace full. this is all along Fact.
cuz we all are suffering in this world 4 Problems which are Disease, Old age, Death, and Birth after Birth.
tell me are you really happy ?? you can,t be happy if you will ignore these 4 main problem. then still you will be Forced by Nature.
___________________
if you really want to be happy then follow these 6 Things which are No illicit s.ex, No g.ambling, No d.rugs ( No tea & coffee ), No meat-eating ( No onion & garlic's )
5th thing is whatever you eat `1st offer it to Supreme Lord Krishna. ( if you know it what is Guru parama-para then offer them food not direct Supreme Lord Krishna )
and 6th " Main Thing " is you have to Chant " hare krishna hare krishna krishna krishna hare hare hare rama hare rama rama rama hare hare ".
_______________________________
If your not able to follow these 4 things no illicit s.ex, no g.ambling, no d.rugs, no meat-eating then don,t worry but chanting of this holy name ( Hare Krishna Maha-Mantra ) is very-very and very important.
Chant " hare krishna hare krishna krishna krishna hare hare hare rama hare rama rama rama hare hare " and be happy.
if you still don,t believe on me then chant any other name for 5 Min's and chant this holy name for 5 Min's and you will see effect. i promise you it works And chanting at least 16 rounds ( each round of 108 beads ) of the Hare Krishna maha-mantra daily.
____________
Here is no Question of Holy Books quotes, Personal Experiences, Faith or Belief. i accept that Sometimes Faith is also Blind. Here is already Practical explanation which already proved that every`1 else in this world is nothing more then Busy Foolish and totally idiot.

Project List / Re: Golden Sun Reloaded Spanis...
Last post by Moumph - 17, December, 2023, 11:39:09 AMQuote from: javi3 on 18, October, 2023, 04:34:41 PMQuote from: Moumph on 23, August, 2023, 07:57:08 AMHi! I managed to make a translation of Golden Sun Reloaded from Caledor to Spanish.acabas de cumplir un sueño que tenia desde hace tiempo, no sabes lo que te agradezco este trabajazo, lo compartire todo lo que pueda. muchas gracias por todo
I used the Italian ROM as base for both games.
Everything is translated except the graphics from the game, like the intro background where it says "The Lost Age", or some graphics from the Colosso where it should say Start and things like that.
If someone wants to insert the original images from the spanish rom you're welcome to do it!
Also the articles like "una" in "una avellana" were removed. In the game data should be something like "[1D][01] avellana" where [1D][01] is the article "una". The problem is that in Italian and English the articles are different and I couldn't managed to change it. There is someone who knows how to do it?
Remember that you must apply the patches to the vanilla Italian ROMS of the games, without Caledor's mod. This patch already applies the mod.
Anyways, here are the translated mods (v1.80):

===================================================
¡Hola! He conseguido acabar la traducción de Golden Sun Reloaded de Caledor al español.
He utilizado la ROM italiana como base los dos juegos.
Todo está traducido excepto los gráficos del juego, como el background del principio donde dice "The Lost Age", o algunos gráficos del Coloso donde debería decir "Empieza" y cosas por el estilo.
Si alguien quiere insertar las imágenes originales de la ROM en español, ¡puede hacerlo si sabe cómo!
También eliminé los artículos como "una" en "una avellana". En los datos del juego debería ser algo como "[1D][01] avellana", donde [1D][01] es el artículo "una". El problema es que en italiano e inglés los artículos son diferentes y no he podido cambiarlo. ¿Hay alguien que sepa cómo hacerlo?
Recuerda que debes aplicar los parches a las ROMS Italianas limpias de los juegos. El mod de Caledor ya lo añade este parche.
Aquí están los parches (v1.80):
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1A_J0wfW8u3WlW_-SEYXlThqvihtumx1L/view?usp=sharing
Gracias Javi, me alegra oirlo, me llevó bastante curro y la verdad que se agradecen esas palabras.
Ahora he arreglado algunos fallos en la traducción que detecté y además he actualizado a la última version que sacó Caledor, la 1.82a.

Back to back releases again from r/GoldenSun input, this time Here.
This is mainly a Piers update. I've always felt his classes came out kinda lackluster especially in comparison to Jenna's but honestly i never managed to figure out what to do.
The linked post's author managed to hit the nail on the head in many points so, after a more conservative approach failed and a few other tests, the major changes suggested (Heal to Piers' protector and Sea Lord as a mage-warrior hybrid) were in.
The rest are mainly collateral changes to redistribute psynergies around, like Impact, CP and Restore from Protector to the Sea Lord for healing (Boon-> Heal)
Adding Cool back (finally!) also helped cause i was stuck with way too many Froths distributed around, and that's why Cool is in that power range.
The change to the Samurai and Destroyer psynergies are mainly for flavor, to further emphasize them being the "mars" tri-elemental.
Those to enemies psynergy sets instead, are due to a check on those that had Cool.
Changes to sun champion and chaos lord were to balance out their stat total. I consider the Chaos Lord the strongest dual warrior class but the agility buff is kinda a double edged sword cause you want him to act after the pg carrying Impact.
Details as usual are in the documentation, with colored cells marking changes in v1.81 and 1.82.
EDIT: Stealth update to v1.82a to fix minor mistakes in a few psynergies descriptions and values.

Last post by Caledor - 04, November, 2023, 05:11:47 PMv1.81 is UP
A small update after a long time, following some input I received on r/GoldenSun HERE.
Without further ado, here's the Changelog:
It started by comparing Arcanist to Miko so the focus were minor imbalances in single target vs mt spells (I was heavily inclined towards ST ones) and it leaked out to caster dual classes vs tri-classes where the higher PP in the latter is supposed to balance out the lower elemental power.
The last 2 are something i've had ready for a long time but it wasn't worth a release on its own so they found their way now.
Especially the 500 Coins (which replaced Pirate Sabre's rusty sword)... the change was due to the fact that the coins specifically triggered a minor bug when analyzing the same spot twice so i just replaced it with an item.
PS: I also used this chance to improve the documentation, removing the italian parts and whatnot. The equipment documentation is thanks of Chronotakular and it was so much better than the one i originally published, i just asked permission to maintain it and make it "official".

Dragon Fume, Scrouge, Call Dullahan, Stone Spire, Inferno, Supernova, Dire Inferno Power +5

Tweaked the PP cost of some psynergies so range weights slightly more
Vital Boon PP cost to 27, Heal Well 24, Potent Heal 50, Cool Aura 38
Life Shear Base Power to 220, Final Judgement to 230
Death and HP to 1 base chance rate all -5%: 25>20 (condemn), 10>5 (damage + death), 35>30 (hp to 1)
