Rhythm Heaven Silver

This repository is dedicated to host the Rhythm Tengoku English unofficial fan translation, Rhythm Heaven Silver.

Rhythm Heaven Silver is a project started in 2008 aiming to translate Rhythm Tengoku in English, for everyone to enjoy.

Installation

You will need:

And you just patch your ROM!

Contribution

Fork it the project, and either decide to go your own way, or do a pull request.
I am right now in need of GFX artists...

However there are things that have been decided on this project and you should follow this guideline if you are planning to open a pull request:

  • All known mini-games that have come back on Rhythm Heaven Megamix, should use their Megamix names.
  • ポリリズム should be named Polyrhythm despite its similarities to Built to Scale.

Build

Windows

You'll need Strawberry Perl to compile the text using abcde.

  1. Open a command prompt.
  2. Download the Rhythm Heaven Silver repository.
    git clone https://github.com/ShaffySwitcher/RhythmHeavenSilver
    cd RhythmHeavenSilver
    or you could also just download the source here.
  3. Compile.
    compile.bat

Linux / Mac OS

I have not found Linux / Mac OS alternatives for the tools used, and I don't want to rewrite some of the tools because it will simply be too overcomplicated for a simple translation, so I can only advise to use Wine (although this is untested).

To-do

Check the issues.

Credits

There's too many people I'd like to thanks, too much I can't really list, but it should be noted that I am not the original creator of this patch, so please do not credit me for it, all credit should go to the original Rhythm Heaven Silver team.

Even though, thanks Nintendo for releasing this good game that wouldn't of made the Rhythm Heaven franchise real without it.
Thanks to the original creator of this translation patch, including the original translator who made the first script back in 2007...

Disclamer

I know this patch was either unfinished a decade ago or of questionable quality nowadays. There was a lot of inconsistensy (Megamix / Silver names, Polyrhythm / Built to Scale, etc...) everywhere and known issue.

This is due to the fact that I work (mostly) alone since 2019 (atleast when I still worked on it, oh and did I tell you guys I am not an native english speaker?), there is no real quality check, and 3 years ago I wasn't really mature enough for my own quality check. So please do not call this hack "garbage" or whatever another word you can find because there's a lot of work behind it.

This is about to change, I am now working with a team of people that submits graphics and new translated text so that hack will have a new apparence soon and you will be able to experience Rhythm Heaven Silver (or Advance) a new way.

Contact

If you have something to tell/ask otherwise or if you wanna contribute, feel free to add me on Discord (Shaffy#3991).

As I am not in contact with anyone who's working on this, I can't really redirect anyone else for support; however you can probably ask help on the Rhythm Heaven Modding Server, or the Rhythm Tengoku Modding Server for more technically questions.
