That's it...

dmxratedMy patience has worn thin. For the sake of both my potential MMZ YouTube dub and the prologue of Jake's version of SMW2: Yoshi's Island rewritten, I am going to see if anyone out there would be able to translate the main script of Makeruna! Makendou Z for me. It's not that I can't learn how to translate a language; it's that this is something I'd just like to get over with as soon as possible.
(In case any proof is necessary that I'm not just being lazy, I have already done a rough translation of the first few scenes in the game. I'm not sure how accurate they are, though, and there were some words and lines that I was just unable to translate. And, I've just started Japanese in Mangaland volume 2 today, after having read volume 1 all over again.)
No, I'm not gonna expect anyone to play through the whole game for me. Instead, Brian told me before that he has a program that allows one to type kana and even kanji. So, first thing is to play through the game, recording the main script into a notebook, and copy it onto the program in question. With text-only dialogue, I'm considering using some kind of video camera to record it and upload onto the computer. (We actually do have one that we used years and years ago, but we're not sure if it can connect to the hard drive.) Capturing the footage on tape or DVD will be crucial later, as will learning how to transfer the data to a PC, but for this, all I'm gonna need someone to do is to listen to the dialogue.
