   Changelog v1.0.8:
   Battle animations OFF: every hit shows the map HP gauge on the unit (the bar drains, the damage bounces above it, HIT! / CRITICAL! / GUARD! on top); every miss now shows MISS! or EVADE! (a plain miss showed nothing before); no counterattack pop-up after the target is destroyed by the first attack.

   Here’s a quick update on Super Robot Wars F Final!

   Good news: F Final shares the same font, character encoding, and underlying engine as Super Robot Wars F. The code has been rearranged, but I’ve already mapped roughly 64% of the corresponding machine code between the two games.

   This means I can reuse much of the technical work from F, including the VWF font, menu improvements, and the Battle Animation ON/OFF feature. I’ll still need to locate and adapt the relevant code hooks in F Final, though.

   There’s also quite a bit of translation work I can carry over from F:

   – 3,039 out of 3,164 strings already match my existing translation table, including pilot names, robots, weapons, Spirit Commands, and skills.
   – 6,253 out of 6,321 battle dialogue lines are identical to those in F.

   The biggest challenge will be the story.

   F Final contains approximately 14,600 unique story dialogue lines, around 2.6 times as many as F. Only about 370 of those lines overlap with the original game, so almost the entire story will need to be translated from scratch.

   I’ll be working through the scenarios in batches, carefully translating and integrating the dialogue as I go.

   The good news is that I won’t have to rebuild everything from zero. All the technical groundwork from F should give this project a significant head start!

   There’s still a lot of work ahead, but I’m excited to bring F Final to English-speaking players as well. Thanks for following the project and supporting my work!

     @s65 Yes, that’s actually something I’m planning to do! Once I’ve finished the F Final English patch, I’ll work on merging F and F Final into a single game, similar to what the Chinese mod achieved. One step at a time!

   Quick changelog:

   v1.0.4 (October 20, 2026)
   – Fixed a freeze when opening the Unit List from the map menu (since v1.0.2)
   – The hero’s and the partner’s full names are shown first name first (e.g. “Ensign Jess Starlord”) they were reversed in a few lines.
   – Saphine’s robot is the “Wiesel Kai” (was mislabelled “Weissritter Kai”).
   – “La Vie en Rose” spelled in full on the map; Master Asia’s stage title uses “Undefeated East” like the dialogue.
   – Names and ranks spelled one way everywhere: Captain Quattro (was “Lieutenant” in a few scenes), Mirary, Logo Dau, Musiy, Glemy.
   – Small punctuation and stutter fixes (“W-what?!” instead of “W-What?!”).
   – Terrain info window: the “Heal HP10% EN10%” line no longer runs under the box divider (the heal box is one cell now) “Forest”, “Woods”, “Deep Sea”, “Moon” and some place names are drawn in the normal font.
   – “Skills” (map pilot window), “Unit Repair” (repair screen) and “Save” (map menu) now use the same font as the other labels.
   – Weapon page: “Range” header; one Terrain box spells out Air / Land / Sea / Space.
   – Unit Upgrade / Weapon Upgrade lists and the stat upgrade screen spell out Mobility / Armor / Limit.
   – Unit lists: “Pilot View” / “Unit View” spaced the same way, pilot screen: “LR: Next Pilot”.
   – Fixed: checking a map tile (terrain info) froze the game on most terrain types. Checking units and space tiles was not affected.
   – Terrain info window shows “%” correctly (was “r”), e.g. “Hit 5% Down”.
   – Sync rate line shows “%” after the value.
   – Unit and Pilot status: the Terrain box is wider and spells out Air / Land / Sea / Space the Type box is narrower.
   – Parts screen: the stat column is wider and spells out Move / Mobility / Armor / Limit part descriptions re-wrapped for the narrower box.
   – 5 lines re-translated after a kanji re-check against the game font (story, one battle line, one pilot bio).

     Hello. You mentioned that you want to create a tool to combine F and F Final, right? If so, I’ll definitely give it a try once it’s available. 🙂

     @NikoKaro Yes, absolutely! That’s definitely part of my plan once I’ve completed the F Final English translation! 😄

     You’ll be able to play “F and F Final separately”, just like the original releases, or use a “combined version that brings both games together”.

     I’ll include both options in the patch release, so it’ll be entirely up to your personal preference.

   I may have found a bug @Game Translate! I pressed X to check a meteor in Chapter 1 of the Real Robot route, and the game froze! Checking other units and space worked as intended, but checking any other type of tile causes the game to freeze.

   I am running the game on Duckstation And could upload a video to show the error if you so wish? Otherwise, I am extremely impressed by this and hope that F Final will come out soon as well!

     Thank you so much for reporting this bug and for your kind words! I really appreciate it! ❤️

     I’ve investigated the issue and found the exact cause.

     The game stores the terrain bonus as a combination of a number, a percentage sign, and “Up” or “Down” in a fixed-size buffer.

     During translation, “Dwn” was changed to “Down,” adding just one extra byte. Unfortunately, that single byte overflowed the buffer and overwrote part of the terrain name pointer, causing the game to read an invalid memory address and freeze.

     That’s also why Space tiles worked fine, since they don’t use the Up/Down modifier.

     It’s amazing how a single extra byte can cause an entire game to crash! 😅

     I’ve identified the problem, so I’ve already fixed it, and the fix will be included in the next patch update!

     Thanks again for taking the time to report this! Feedback like yours is incredibly helpful. And don’t worry, F Final is definitely on my list! 😄

     You don’t need a new .cue file. Just patch Track 1, then rename the patched .bin file to match the Track 1 filename referenced in your original .cue file. Keep Track 2 unchanged, and you’re good to go!

   I know I don’t have the right to demand anything from you for a free service, but could you please change the way patches are obtained on your site? There’s no way to get past the junk ads; I’ve spent an hour trying to get the download link, with no success. I don’t have a PayPal account to make a donation. I’m not against you having ads on your site, but could you please change how this works? Many people think your translations are just clickbait—and I would think so too, if you hadn’t sent me the link for *Super Robot Taisen D*.

     I’m really sorry to hear you’ve had such a frustrating experience trying to download the patch. I completely understand how annoying that must be, especially after spending an hour trying to get through the ads.

     Have you tried following the step-by-step guide here?

     https://gametranslate.us/how-to-download/

     Unfortunately, my website is still relatively small, and I don’t have enough traffic yet to qualify for better advertising networks that offer a much less intrusive experience.

     I know the current ads are far from ideal, and believe me, I’m not happy with them either. I genuinely hope I’ll be able to get rid of this system soon, but unfortunately, I don’t have a viable alternative at the moment.

     I really appreciate your understanding and patience. I also understand your concern about people thinking my translations are clickbait. That’s definitely not the impression I want anyone to have, especially considering how much time and effort I put into these projects.

     Thank you for being honest with me about your experience, and for giving my work a chance despite the inconvenience. It really means a lot.

   Okay maybe I’m goin nuts @Game Translate, but you claim there’s a cue file in the patch’s zip, but I only see the .bps, .ppf, .xdelta, the checksums and a readme.

   So I’m a little confused

     Haha, you’re not going nuts, bro! 😅

     Originally, I was planning to include a preconfigured .cue file with the English patch filename already set. But then I realized that might actually confuse people even more, since the .cue file only works if the .bin filename matches exactly what’s written inside it. If someone renames their .bin file, it won’t work.

     So I decided to remove the .cue file from the ZIP.

     All you need to do is “apply the .ppf patch to your Track 1 .bin file”, then rename that patched .bin file to match the filename referenced in your existing .cue file. That’s it! You should be good to go.

     Sorry for the confusion and inconvenience, bro! I’ll make sure the instructions are clearer. 😄

   So, I patched track 01 and used only that to create an eboot for the PSP, and it works perfectly, but I’ve tested only the first two stages. I’m curious, though: what does track 02 contain? Nothing essential, I assume.

    I’m not gonna say much but having shortened abbreviations because “fixed width” means you have been vibecoding from the very beginnings without understanding much. I don’t think this is a good place to release and I ask you to consider taking it down and polish it further. Ar Ld Se Sp Mobil. Armr Lim. Not to mention that shortened Clear the game data just to be able to fit in that box just shows you have no respect for the original work. If you want me to prove you wrong. Just ask and I’ll provide. Otherwise, I think this is a bad look.

      So let me get this straight. You looked at two screenshots, saw a few abbreviated UI labels, and concluded that the entire translation is a “hackjob” made by someone who doesn’t understand coding or rendering?

      Here’s something you apparently didn’t consider: “I’ve already tried modifying the Parts panel layout to accommodate the full labels.” The result was ugly, unbalanced, and disrupted the overall UI design. If you actually look at the screenshots, you’ll notice that the available space is already being used. There’s no magical empty area waiting for longer text.

      The abbreviations were a deliberate compromise, not the result of blindly shortening strings because I couldn’t figure out anything better.

      And here’s the funny part: the second screenshot clearly shows “Mobility,” “Armor,” and “Limit” written in full elsewhere. So the issue obviously isn’t that I don’t know how to display those words. It’s that different panels have different layout constraints.

      You talk about “vibecoding” and not understanding the engine as if you’re some kind of expert. Well, if you’re that confident in your coding and rendering knowledge, I’d genuinely love to see you demonstrate a better solution. Show me a working Parts panel with the full labels, without overlapping other elements, breaking the UI, or making the layout look terrible.

      I’m perfectly willing to improve things when there’s a better solution. I’ve never claimed my work is flawless.

      But looking at two screenshots, making assumptions about someone’s technical abilities, and demanding that an entire fan translation be taken down? That’s not constructive criticism. That’s just arrogance.

      If you have a better technical solution, show it. If you’ve found actual missing story dialogue, provide the evidence. Otherwise, please stop presenting assumptions as facts.

      Here’s another example for you. This screenshot is from Aeon Genesis’s English translation of Super Robot Wars 4.

      Look at the Terrain panel. “Space” is displayed in full, but it’s practically touching the “B” rating next to it. There’s barely any breathing room.

      I actually tried the same approach in Super Robot Wars F. Yes, I could squeeze the full words into that tiny panel, but I didn’t like how cramped and unbalanced it looked, so I decided against it.

      It wasn’t because I didn’t know how to do it. I tried it, saw the result, and made a deliberate design decision.

      I simply didn’t like how it looked. Is that really such a problem?

      You’re free to prefer fully spelled-out labels, just as I’m free to prioritize spacing, readability, and visual consistency. That’s a difference in design preferences, not proof that someone doesn’t understand coding.

      And frankly, calling an entire fan translation a “hackjob” over choices like this is a pretty ridiculous overreaction.

      @chivien99999 Hey, do you need me to fix your UI for you? Because I can see quite a few things in your own translation that could be improved.

      Your menu panels could be widened, and labels like “Atk,” “Def,” “Spd,” and “Vir” could be displayed in full. There’s also plenty of unused space around “FR,” “WT,” “WN,” and “ER.” Why didn’t you spell those out?

      And before you tell me I don’t understand how UI rendering works, I’ve already done similar UI modifications and window resizing in my ONI translation project for the SNES. I’m not just guessing about what ROM hacking involves. I’ve actually implemented this kind of work.

      So let me ask you something.

      Why are you using abbreviations when there’s visible room to improve the layout? Why not modify those panels to accommodate the full text?

      Was it a technical limitation, a deliberate design choice, or simply something you didn’t consider worth changing?

      Because guess what? That’s exactly the kind of decision I made with Super Robot Wars F.

      I experimented with expanding the Terrain panel and displaying the full labels. It worked, but I didn’t like the cramped, unbalanced result, so I chose a cleaner layout with abbreviations.

      Yet somehow, when you abbreviate text, it’s perfectly acceptable. When I do it, suddenly it’s “vibecoding,” a “hackjob,” and proof that I have no respect for the original game?

      Do you see the double standard here?

      And for the record, I’m not calling your translation garbage. I understand that ROM hacking involves compromises. What I don’t understand is why you feel entitled to insult another developer for making the same kind of compromises you made yourself.

      If you’d like help improving your UI, I’m happy to take a look. But perhaps you should hold your own work to the same standards before demanding that someone else take theirs down.

      I even documented these exact abbreviations in the Known Issues section before releasing the patch. I never pretended the UI was perfect, and I explicitly invited players to report issues so I could improve it.

      What’s disappointing isn’t that you criticized my work. It’s that you took a limitation I had already openly acknowledged, used it to question my competence, and demanded that I take down the entire project.

      And after seeing similar abbreviations in your own translations, I find that reaction even harder to understand.

      @chivien99999 Well, bro, I just took the time to read the README for your Oni Zero translation on GitHub, and I found some pretty interesting things.

      You criticized me for abbreviating a few UI labels, called my work a “hackjob” and “vibecoding,” accused me of having no respect for the original game, and even demanded that I take down my translation.

      Yet your own project uses abbreviated UI labels, hardcodes the protagonist’s name, skips the original save-data checks, unlocks previously restricted content, and adds an item to the starting inventory.

      Funny, isn’t it?

      For the record, I don’t think those decisions make your translation bad. I understand that ROM hacking involves technical compromises and design choices. That’s precisely why I find your attitude toward my work so disappointing.

      You judged my entire project based on a couple of screenshots, insulted my abilities, and questioned my respect for the original game, while your own README documents compromises and changes that go considerably further than abbreviated UI labels.

      I genuinely respect the effort that goes into fan translations, including yours. It’s a shame you couldn’t extend that same courtesy to someone else doing similar work.

      Anyway, I’ve taken note of all this, bro. Thanks for showing me what your standards look like when they’re applied to someone else’s work.

      That was impressively quick feedback, considering the patch was released just a few minutes ago! 😅

      Here’s the interesting part: “the download counter is still at zero.” Every download goes through a tracked link, and not a single download has been registered since the release.

      So I’m genuinely curious: “how exactly did you manage to evaluate the translation and discover “many cut and shortened texts” without even downloading the patch?”

      Could you provide some specific examples? I’d be happy to compare them against the original Japanese script and fix any genuine issues.

      I have absolutely no problem with constructive criticism, but calling someone’s work “abhorrent” without even trying it or providing a single example says more about the criticism than the work itself.
