Non-English FREEMCB.CNF Free McBoot configuration files, Please Share Yours!

[urbigbro]

I have been messing with manually editing the FREEMCB.CNF file since I found out it supported more than just ASCII text.

This thread is meant to be a compilation of non-English FREEMCB.CNF files for users who may not speak English as their native tongue.

In order to help introduce more people to the great homebrew applications for the PS2 through the hacked PS2OSDSYS, I'd ask that the FREEMCB.CNF files follow a certain pattern for each application added to the FREEMCB.CNF files.

1. Please list the applications name in English as well as the other language. The order of languages doesn't matter, just keep it on the same line (obviously)
2. Try to translate every visible part of the FREEMCB.CNF that will be visible in the hacked PS2 OSDSYS. e.g the small text at the bottom that says 'Use (up)(down)to browse list'
3. Try to use the default FMCB storage locations for the major homebrew that normally come with the 'noob' package (HDL, ESR, uLE,etc)
4. Keep usability in mind, try to avoid making the letters super huge, or overlapping one item with another, and try to provide as clear and accurate a translation as possible.
5. Do NOT put copyrighted material in your FREEMCB.ZIP that you upload, e.g cracked CB, or HDTV player
6. If you can post a screen shot, and the actual FREEMCB.CNF text in a code box, it would be great, but it's not essential.

Other than that, you can be as creative as you like!

Tips

*You can use the Free McBoot Configurator included in the FMCB 1.8 'noob' package.

*If the language you need to use doesn't use 'Roman' based characters you can use LBFn, to Asian (except Korean), and Cyrillic characters directly into your FREEMCB.CNF file on your PS2. (Thanks again nika!) Link to LBFn W.I.P. tutorial and .elf file below.

http://psx-scene.com/forums/showthread.php?t=62196 (LBFn Intro and English Documentation (Work in Progress))

*You can also manually edit non-Roman characters into your FREEMCB.CNF file using the PC, by SJIS using a compatible Text editor that can handle SJIS. (I use SuperEdi. It's free, has multiple localization kits for diff languages and it's easy to use.)

*There is support for the Spanish ñ as well as letters with umlats ( ö ) for German and such, and even Dutch, Danish, Czech, Polish, Romanian, French, Turkish, Finnish, Portuguese and Hungarian characters in the PS2 BIOS's SJIS based font, but they are in weird places as a normal PC SJIS font doesn't have these characters. You can find out where they are in the PS2 font, by cross referencing their location in the PS2 font screen shots I have made and 'blindly' copying from the FREEMCB.CNF yi has provided with all the PS2's font's characters in it. See bottom of first post in the linked thread below for more details on that particular method.
http://psx-scene.com/forums/showthre...131#post441131

*As far as I know, there is no way to display/input the following languages into a NTSC-U, NTSC-J, or PAL consoles' FREEMCB.CNF file.

Korean
Other Script based languages such as
Thai
Arabic
Farsi/Persian
Tamil
Pujabi

Perhaps other regions have support for these languages in their BIOS. Since I don't have them or know anyone that does, I leave it up to those that do to determine this.

What else you can do to help!

*If you are a member of another language forum that could use this information, please translate it at use it to let more people know this is possible.

* If you know of someone whoa has made a non-English .CNF and they can't speak English to post it up here, help them by posting it for them. (This is what I did for nika's Japanese FREEMCB.CNF file.)

As far as I know the PS2 doesn't support that language at all.

I only have NTSC-U consoles to test on which only have a few languages available in the System Configuration Menu of the BIOS.

The list below is the best info I could find about the different region PS2 consoles that are known of. (Obtained from FMCB early research by multiple forum members)

If anyone finds out they can change their PS2's language to one of the unsupported languages, please let us know what region it is, as well as run the program to display all characters available in your PS2. (link below) Thanks ragnarok2040

This french translation is not correct. But it is not necessary to have one since there's a french localized noobie-package

Thanks for the info. can you share The "French Package" with us?
I hope that other guys help us to make a great multi language package for FreeMcBoot.

[amp2006]

dude Google translate cannot make or give you an accurate translate you have to know that language in order to use or else it will confuse many members

[TnA]

All of them are wrong.
"Free" is part of the name.
The name is "Free McBoot" (not McBoot, not BootMC, or whatever....), so regardless which language you use it doesn´t convert the "Free" into "Gratis", or similar.

@ashkan- I appreciate your enthusiasm, but the translation must be done by someone familiar with what the common names for the homebrew in the non-English language. They also would need to know what each app does to avoid a confusing translation.

@TnA- Are you up to providing a German .CNF?
It doesn't matter to me whether if you link me to one already made, or make it yourself. I didn't see a German one at any of the German PS2 sites I've visited.

My ultimate goal is to have most of the major language .CNFs here for people to use, either on their console, or add to their native language tutorials, and for each language to have a 'noobie package'.


BTW, has anyone tried this method of FREEMCB.CNF configuration?

Set windows to use the appropriate Japanese SJIS font as it's default font, then rename each homebrew to your desired language.
Install FMCB with those renamed apps, so that the FREEMCB.CNF is already partially translated.

For those that don't know FMCB will create a FREEMCB.CNF file on the MC you are installing to with the file names of your homebrew you have in the root of the installation and apps folders.

[TnA]

Yes, I can do that today.

I´ll post it later.
Had to go out with my dog yet.


@ashkan: Take a look at metagames-eu.com.
There is an official release-thread for the french FMCB-Version (even with customized FMCB-Logo from Jimmi...).

Btw.: One Multi-CNF for more than one language, is not possible (currently).

[ashkan]

Thanks for helping guys. I got it.

[urbigbro]

Yes, I can do that today.

There is an official release-thread for the french FMCB-Version (even with customized FMCB-Logo from Jimmi...).

Thanks for doing the German one.

I downloaded the 'French' CNF and it really only has the bottom 'browse list' thing translated.

It would probably be more helpful to translate Hard Drive Loader, uLE, SMS, and
Free McBoot Configurator.

For apps that don't have an obvious way to translate them the following suggestions could be used:

uLE- filebrowser, application launcher
SMS- Media player


Remember these alternate language CNfs should help make using the hacked PS2 OSDSYS easier, by (briefly) clarifying what each homebrew app does in the users own language.
