I'm now also working on a romhack of aai and i was wondering what utility you used to extract the dialogue, since the investigations files are formatted differently from the rest of the series. i've been looking around and I thought I'd ask someone who I know was successful. thanks!

Hello, I've been making my own programs to extract the dialogue of all the games. For AAI it's been a long time so I don't remember the details, but I remember the files were unusually complicated. If you're interested in the C source code of my program, I can try to see if I still have it somewhere...

If you still have it I would really appreciate seeing it! If only so I can learn about the file structure from it. Thank you either way :)

For the English version
For the Japanese version (the output is a text file that uses the Shift-JIS encoding).

Feel free to quote them as much as you want. After all, all the text belongs to Capcom, not me.

That said, I was planning to wait a few months before publicly releasing them, as I'm not comfortable releasing the game's whole script soon after its release. I'm okay with sharing it privately though.

Notes:
- For these games I've kept the furigana, but I've separated them from the main text in order not to clutter it. The furigana have been placed on a line starting with "//" between the Japanese text and the English text, like this:
Quote:
<Ryunosuke>
（‥‥ぼくの名前は、成歩堂龍ノ介）
// 成歩堂 = なるほどう / 龍ノ介 = りゅうのすけ
(My name is Ryunosuke Naruhodo.)
（‥‥ぼくの名前は、成歩堂龍ノ介）
// 成歩堂 = なるほどう / 龍ノ介 = りゅうのすけ
(My name is Ryunosuke Naruhodo.)
- "{" and "}" have been added around readable cursive text in GAA1-1 (to distinguish it from normal text)
- Keyboard keys displayed in the text have all been replaced with "[]"
- There is one instance in the games where a name tag is changed during the course of the game. This is not reflected in the script; the old name tag is used in the script, even for the dialogue that can only happen after the change. The change in question is

I know it may be a stretch, but I was also curious to know if you could share the script for Gyakuten Saiban Jiten? I'm not aware of an English equivalent yet, but to even have it in a .txt doc would be helpful for a translation experiment I'd like to run
Many thanks again!

Hello,
I'm glad you find these scripts useful!
Unfortunately, I don't have GS Jiten's script. I gave it a look, but I have no idea where the scripts are among the game's files.
But I'm interested in the feedback you mention!

If I am not mistaken, all the text in that game is graphics, not "text", so there´s no script files, only graphics

That seems unlikely. I can see that all the buttons are images, but for the main text it would make more sense to use a font.

Ok, so I was searching somewhere to see where I found out that the game´s text is all graphics and found this video about a dude that translated some buttons: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HMHaKKWCypo
And he said that in response to someone´s comments:

Alright, but in another comment of this video, they say this:
Quote:
The "game" is programmed with the a** , there is a lot of text that is graphics and the text lines that are real text, are all scrambled in a big file of text.
Example the 6 lines of text at 00:16, are 6 lines of text in 6 random spots in the big file with all the text any none of those lines is sequential to any others.

So it seems there is a file with all the description text, but either way it'll be difficult to extract.

Sounds good! I'll do a larger post in the future once I wrap up the project I'm working on and share my notes!
Would you also happen to know if there was a script for Ace Attorney Investigations 2/Prosecutor's Path? Not sure if having that available is a legal issue or if it opens another entire can of worms with fan translations...

Neat! I encountered that same video! Its author also seems to be the same person who worked on/helped release the Ace Attorney Investigations II/Prosecutor's Path rom.
Another part of my project was to get the scripts from the manga (which I also found on this site). Thankfully when the submitter created the JA/EN files, they created jpg files for each page. I recently ended up finding an Optical Character Recognition (OCR) site that scans images and converts them into editable text files (.txt, .doc, etc.). Could handling the graphics as images work in this case? Or do you think that the in-game images would come out as sprites and could not be manipulated?
https://www.prepostseo.com/image-to-text
Note: While there are many OCR sites, this site was the closest I found that accurately scanned the text bubbles and produced text that needed the least amount of touch-up/post-editing. I did notice that it did not grab any text that was part of the environment (such as Japanese signs and embedded text).

I do have a dual script for AAI2. It was made quickly and doesn't use the fan-made localized names.

You can always try to take screenshots of GS Jiten and use OCR to extract the text. I don't know how well that would work, though.

After re-reading the author's YouTube comments and sleeping on it, I realized that the Japanese must be hard-coded into the sprites, which is why it's so labor-intensive, and why my solution wouldn't work.
I goofed around with Google translate from my phone to the DS, and the translations were an amusing mess. I will try the screenshot route!

I added the scripts of the Steam version of GS123 and GS456, in case you want to compare them with the DS/3DS version. For GS4, I didn't have the proper file names so I just reused the numbered names from the DS script.

Hi, thank you for all your work!
I was wondering how you're extracting the Steam transcripts, I'm trying to get a readable version of GK1&2 scripts from the new Steam collection but in French language so I can find typos and report them to Capcom.

The process is different for each game. For Ace Attorney Investigations Collection, you can use a program like AssetRipper or AssetStudio to extract script files from the .bundles files in the folder "Ace Attorney Investigations Collection\GK12_Data\StreamingAssets\aa\StandaloneWindows64". For the French script, it's in the files starting with gk1_scriptmessage_fre_ and gk2_scriptmessage_fre_.
Then to extract the script in text format from those files, I write my own programs. For these two games, I haven't finished yet, and it'll probably be a while until I do since I want to play the games first.

Wanted to pop back in with a heartfelt thank you again for the hard work it takes to curate the scripts, and with a follow-up to my final project (albeit late).
I couldn't end up doing the OCR route in time for the project, but am greatly appreciative of the ideas and help along the way. It could also be interesting to run this project again now that AAI2 has an official localization...
