Fernando's Football Kingdom English Patch v1.00 (1/1/2025)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So, after 21 years i decided to take back the game and work again while in quarantine :) This is a big jump from the v0.004 that i did back in 2004.

The current state might be around 80% or more of the menus and dialogs, Player names including hidden ones might be around 99% (could not find China line-up), worked a lot during the pandemic years correcting this as best as i could myself and with a lot help of my friend Thanatos, who remembers players names more than me. Some gfx are also translated. There are a lot of messages that need to be corrected 'cause the text was kinda scrambled in like 3 words sections, so it might read weird but its pretty understandable. I will work and try things to fix that later.
Sure, they will be bugs and things unfinished, but it has a lot more work done than 0.4.
FK has never been released outside Japan and that was the main reason to do this translation. I love the game. Got mine in Japan at the time but you can get the original game on Ebay, used but in good condition.

THIS TRANSLATION IS FOR THE COMMUNITY AND PART OF HISTORIC PRESEVATION OF GAMES THAT WILL BE GONE SOON IN THIS ALMOST ALL-DIGITAL ERA. THERE IS NO INTEREST BEYOND SHARE MY LOVE FOR FAN TRANSLATIONS
Thanks to everyone supporting my fan work over the years.
Enjoy!

Fernando

REMEMBER: YOU NEED TO OWN AN ORIGINAL COPY OF THIS GAME, CREATE A CUE/BIN FILE AND THEN USE THE PPF OVER IT.
ALWAYS MENTION THIS PATCH AS THE ORIGINAL IF YOU PRETEND TO TRANSLATE TO OTHER LANGUAGES. I SEE =YOU= BRAZIL/SPAIN GUYS!! LOL !
THIS PATCH IS DONE OUT OF GOOD WILL, DON'T BE AN ASSHOLE AND PROFIT OUT OF ANY TRANSLATION COMMUNITY WORK.

PD: AGUANTE ARGENTINA TRI-CAMPEON MUNDIAL

And appreciate the ultra surprise of a post, awesome surprise indeed. 🙏

@fernando

Just wanted to let you know that you'll always be one of the biggest legends of the site and bring back fond memories whenever I read your name. The site what it was and still is today wouldn't be the same without your dedication back in the days. Happy new year to you, legend. You've sparked lots of fires 💙

Thank you!!!! :WASTED:
 
I thought this would permanently remain on 0.4. I mean .. it's been YEARS since you made this patch. I'll definitely try it out to see what changes have been made.
Thanks @fernando
 
Very good translation, i tried it. There were many stuff i didn't understood about gameplay, but now it's okay.
Still a pretty fun game to change from always playing PS2 PES WE.

Also, as "Holland" got fake names and so on fake faces, you can retrieve the faces in edit mode, like on PES, but there's only type of faces like on PES2 but no way to build them from scratch.
Not important at all : only preset are and they've got a lot of it : i believe it matches with PES 6 in terms of number of face to be honest.
There's a lot of reserve players too when you edit Nations. No idea if you can unlock clubs but there's several players for X teams, especially Italy NT, England NT etc.

With all those players you can build almost best players for transfers them to a club or fake team without problem.

Why don't you just attach it to your first post instead of using links. Much easier

Thank you man! its been years but still love to do this. Life sometimes doesn't give me much free time as used to had, but but my love for this community isn't going anywhere.
 
I have the bin and cue file and the ppf file, can some one point me to an online tool so i can attempt to apply it please if that's possible?

edit- do i just patch the bin file and leave the cue file alone? sorry for the stupid question

edit 2 - ignore me, I've done it

Hi all, I tried to apply the patch to the iso of the game but when I click on apply in ppf-o-matic it gives me a warning message: "Binblock/Patchvalidation Failed. Continue?"
Is it correct?

Edit: the error was due to iso file. The patch must be applied to bin file.

Hey man, I still can't believe you're active in this community after so many years, kudos!!

I've been looking around the Netherlands/Germany players and I believe I may have figured out all of the real names for the Dutch and all but 3 of the Germans (still don't have a clue who the hell Tarkomann, Urener and Markov are supposed to be) so let me know if that would be helpful for the patch!
 
Thank you for the suggestions, but I believe the players in those squads had to be active at the time of release 😅

I have my suspicions that Urener might be Jorg Boehme, but I still have no clue on the other two.

Excellent work here!! I just have one small observation, I later found out that Markov is in fact Thorben Marx, then a Hertha winger who used to play for the Germany B team, known as Team 2006. Makes more sense within the timeframe of the Game I believe. Nice work on Bisner/Urener! I actually thought Freier was Bisner since he was originally Germany's #10 at the Euros before missing out through injury.

hi guys, not sure if this is the place but im trying to work around on a tool to edit this game, i managed to extract all data from the game and decrypt file names

stuff i found so far:
the audio can be extracted and converted into wav files with vgstream (i find also a few post on how to convert them)
textures are tm2, inside a packer named .nut files, i found also another tool called rainbow image or something like that (in git) that edit this kind of files
3d files are in .nud format, which is a format from namco, in this case .nudp files noesis can extract the data, but i havent found anything to import or create new 3d models and sadly noesis is close source so i cant read the code to understand how it works
videos seems to be some mpeg2 file splitted around the video file
player and team data is stored in two different files, i havent found time to decode the player bytes
save file, has some sort of checksum that i havent cracked yet, maybe in the future i will sit and try to understand it

but the idea of my tool will be to make some sort of explorer for the file games then we can edit the stuff with some other tools in the future :)
