Links

This is a catch-all page of resources and tools that I use for studying, as well as any scripts for other games I'm interested in that I've found hosted elsewhere.

Study resources

• renshuu.org - The best all-in-one study manager for Japanese, with too many features to list here. Also an Android and iOS app!

Software and tools

• 10ten Japanese Reader - A browser extension that shows a customizable pop-up dictionary when hovering the cursor over Japanese text.
• cb's Japanese Text Analysis Tool - A parser that generates vocabulary and kanji frequency lists from text files, and can give you a "readability score" based on a list of words you already know.
• Notepad++ - A more robust text editor than Notepad. Can search for text strings across multiple files at once and supports regex, making it great for looking up usage examples.

Other dumps and scripts

Big collections

• filler's Available Scripts - Some assorted PC Engine / Famicom / Game Gear script downloads provided by a user on ROMhacking.net.
• Game Gengo - A list of links to game scripts compiled by the YouTuber Game Gengo on his website.
• Jo-Mako's Japanese Guide - A Google spreadsheet with lots of Japanese resources, including a compendium of game scripts.
• Learning Language Through Video Games - A wiki for collecting game scripts as learning material. No longer updated.

Individual games

• Kamiwaza (PS2) - Manual transcription and English fan translation of the cutscenes only.
• Lux-Pain (DS) - Both Japanese & English dumps provided for download by a rom-hacking blog.
• Mizzurna Falls (PS1) - Original project the fan translation patch was based on, with both Japanese & English texts provided for download.
• Mother 3 (GBA) - Japanese only. Re-hosting of a セリフ集 that was lost when Geocities went down.
• Persona 2: Innocent Sin (PS1) - Japanese only. Manual transcription, with the most thorough pages not linked and requiring you to guess the URL (example).
• Remember 11 (PS2) - GitHub page for the English fan translation patch, which includes folders of side-by-side Japanese & English lines.
• Tales of Destiny: Director's Cut (PS2) - Backup of the Japanese-English spreadsheets used by the creators of the English fan translation patch.
