Wikifang:Telefang 1 Translation Patch
Welcome! This page follows the updates on the Telefang 1 Translation Patch (currently active on Tulunk Village).
Started out as a vision and a thought, the members of Tulunk Village worked together to work towards what one day we would all achieve - a completely translated Telefang 1, as a proper English replacement to supersede the currently infamous bootlegged version.
Although still a work in progress, one day we can all realize this dream.
Latest version
The latest version is v90 by Sanky
http://wikifang.meowcorp.us/etc/TPatch90.ips

By Blaziken257
- Intro inserted in rom
- Added "NAV" to the bottom
- Changed font to a Pokémon-like one
Added text such as:
- "Give nickname?"
- "Fight/Status/Run" (I guessed on Fight and Run, but I know "Position" is supposed to say "Status")
- "____ has challenged you!"
- The T-Fanger Stranded Child (I called it "S. CHILD" due to the 8-character limit)
- "Save number?"
- "Critical!!" (I know I got this one right)
- Changed "Kryptoraid" to "Kryptoride" and "Kryptoarmor" to "Kryptoarm", but I didn't change any other Denjuu names
etc. http://z15.invisionfree.com/Tulunk_Village/?act=Attach&type=post&id=1494247
Version 5
By andwhyisit
- Made some name adjustments plus cleaned up alot of the squashed effect with the names.
http://www.mediafire.com/?ifvznqpr3m6
Version 5.1
By Blaziken257
- Added "___ appeared!"
- Changed "Escape" to "Run"
- Added the "Fight"/"Run" text in the battle screen
- Added the types (used the same ones as the bootleg, because there's a 4-character limit, but I capitalized "Wood")
http://z15.invisionfree.com/Tulunk_Village/?act=Attach&type=post&id=1495075
Version 6
By Blaziken257
- Replaced "You defeated the enemy Denjuu!" with "The enemy Denjuu were defeated!" It means the same thing, but you don't have to worry about the was/were thing.
- Edited the screen where you pick your Denjuu. If you have none, it now says "- None -" and the top-right says "Pg."
http://z15.invisionfree.com/Tulunk_Village/?act=Attach&type=post&id=1495784
Version 7
By Blaziken257
- When viewing the D-Shot on a regular Game Boy, it loads different tilesets (from $1E4000-$1E7FFF, as opposed to $1EC000-$1EFFFF). Those buttons were redisigned, but only for the monochrome Game Boy so that we could still have the already existing ones.
- Added "ISOLATE" as a T-Fanger.
- Added the "NO SIGNAL" icon on the bottom left.
- Changed "___'s attack! ___!" to "___ used ___!" because of the text length issue.
http://z15.invisionfree.com/Tulunk_Village/?act=Attach&type=post&id=1498440
Version 8
By andwhyisit
- discovered where the preset name is (it is limited to 3 characters and each character is stored separate from each other), attempted to squeeze Shigeki into the 3 tiles.
- cleaned up names, renamed "Krypto" to "Crypto" (in both the Denjuu names and Dialoue text), and added the 's symbol (hex value 06).
http://www.mediafire.com/?655woxsybdm
Version 9
By Blaziken257
- Translated Crypto's picture book entry. Scrunched down so that it fits two lines.
- Changed "___ used ___!" to "___'s move! ___!" There weren't any issues with text wrapping here.
- Revamped the phone button graphics to the Game Boy Color. In case anybody liked the old ones better, THOSE were moved to the Game Boy ones for now. Also added are the Speed buttons, unused.
- Added "You received ___ mail messages." There were different lines of text for each number (1-4), so there weren't any singular/plural issues.
- The NO SIGNAL fixed.
- Fixed the chopped off 0 on the phone.
- Added "I tell you my phone number!" because I got tired of looking at the garbled text, though since I just took it from Diamond, it's probably inaccurate.
http://z15.invisionfree.com/Tulunk_Village/?act=Attach&type=post&id=1516892
Version 10
By Blaziken257
A lot of translations of battle messages, plus:

By Sanky
- Title screen now says "POWER VERSION".
- New lines in the intro are modified to make full use of the VWF.
- Labels on the map when you press start are done (again!). Includes full names like Toronko Village instead of Toronko Vill.. The only shortening is Pepperi Mount., because Pepperi Mountain didn't fit by one character.
http://www.sankysoft.com/tulunk/TelefangPatchV34.ips
Version 35
By andwhyisit
- Solved a problem with the VWF code.
http://www.mediafire.com/?pttatgp7pog6mg9
Version 36-38
By andwhyisit: v36: Ported back over the changes from v29. v37: Didn't go anywhere really. Dropped v37 and started the counter back up at v38 because v37 was going in the wrong direction and needed to be scrapped and stated again from v36. v38: Restructured some of the VWF code to make it easier to read.
Version 39
By andwhyisit
- Rewrote all suspect "LD (nn),A" and "LD A,(nn)" in the code so that they wrote to and read from an otherwise unused section of ram. THIS FIXES THE DENJUU CALL GLITCH.
http://www.mediafire.com/?y5v2owpiwc3cp0r
Version 40
By Sanky
- Made various ASM fixes to get rid of the disappearing first character bug:
Made this change: 3E 08 ld a,08 3E 07 ld a,07 on the following adresses: Status screen personality - 9164 "Fight" upon opening moves - 14CCA In-battle Denjuu names - 17633 142F0 Additional in-battle Denjuu name fixes: ROM:017E2C CD 61 64 call 6461 ROM:017E2C 00 00 00 nop nop nop ROM:01594B CD 61 64 call 6461 ROM:01594B 00 00 00 nop nop nop This fixes the Denjuu name after winning: ROM:017363 3E 04 ld a,04 ROM:017363 3E 03 ld a,03

Adorable! We grew our own pumpkins this year, quite by idnacect. The Rev. kicked a pumpkin off our porch when we had early snow last year, and it rotted and then sprouted this summer. I let one plant live and it took over my flower bed and half of the lawn. We got three pretty decent pumpkins out of it, and I learned that pumpkins grow on their sides, which is why they are not usually perfectly round! We still had to visit Papa's Pumpkin Patch anyway...too much fun to miss! Thank you for sharing your family with us readers!
Version 57
By kmeisthax
- Sprite layout modified so that sprites 0Fh and 10h were situated below the G in the telefang logo.
http://www.mediafire.com/?3on2j28te2vt3n9
Version 58
By andwhyisit
- The G in the title screen was moved down thanks to kmeisthax repositioning those sprites for me.
Version 59
By andwhyisit
- The 2-char character tiles were removed, as well as all use of them in-game.
- All missing ascii characters were added in (20h to 7Fh) and the dash shortened. This means that the tilde will now show.
http://www.mediafire.com/?ksbleyhlie646il
Telefang - Power Version (J) [C][!] (Eng. beta branch-vwffix)
or just Version 60: by kmeisthax

http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?em14dism6lkld91
Version 62
By RacieB
- Translated the index complete certificate
http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?he53ki7ihvrnr1d
Version 63
By User:Sanky
- Put in new translations and doubled the character limits of the following:
- Item names, T-Fangers, attacks, habitats, personalities, status effects
- See Lists for details
- Made the Denjuu name in ___ appeared! correct
http://wikifang.meowcorp.us/etc/TPatch63.ips
Version 64
- Fixed the Denjuu call screen text routine to not use clobbered tile pointer every character and instead respect the VWF state OldTileMode.
- String centering undisabled because Sanky's branch didn't get the patch and I forgot to document it.
- (Speaking of which, did you know I document all my patches in my Findings section?)
http://www.mediafire.com/?ka7i4666ta9sjg1
Version 65
- "Status item" text no longer shows graphical errors after 16 drawn tiles.
- VWF core routine no longer touches MainScript state, other users of VWF no longer corrupt MainScript state
- Known bug: Oshe's curry speech seems to be improperly formatted or I have more main script corruption bugs. Denju call screen main script is weird because it doesn't get initialized like regular main script windows.
http://www.mediafire.com/?75d9i2s7bqdcq41
Version 66
By andwhyisit
- All Denjuu name occurances are now entirely sourced from the 16-char entries. No more uppercase names.
http://www.mediafire.com/?zy1i993496wkwid
Version 67
- VWF core routine now much more conservative with drawing onto the next tile, should fix all "next tile in VRAM gets erased" bugs.
http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?o66us8fvbn2z4d2
http://www.filedropper.com/telefang-powerversionjcengbetav67
Version 68
By User:Sanky

http://wikifang.meowcorp.us/etc/TPatch68.ips
Version 69
By andwhyisit
- Fixes auto-nickname limit.
- Known bug: Denjuu loss screen shows incorrect denjuu name
http://www.mediafire.com/?ae94sbwz2pd3p1d
Version 70
By User:Kmeisthax, un-by User:Sanky
- Removed Sanky's v40, as we fixed the underlying cause of the behavior by making the VWF more conservative on tile usage. This was causing a bug where VRAM clears would complete one tile earlier then they should.
http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?vg6rbsea1aqni4f
Version 71
By andwhyisit
- Fixed the Denjuu loss screen bug.
- Updated Denjuu names.
http://www.mediafire.com/?58lale7mv8hojgk
Version 72
By andwhyisit
- Bug fix for v71. Denjuu names other than Crypto were behaving stangely due to the code looking for the sram Denjuu data in 6-byte blocks rather than 16-byte blocks.
http://www.mediafire.com/?1cqkeh5b9xivtc9
Version 73
By andwhyisit
- A bugfix for my.. bugfix? o_O;

- Inserted Umekichi "dialogue"
http://wikifang.meowcorp.us/etc/TPatch74.ips
Version 75
By andwhyisit
- Moved the name data in D460 to D6A0 to prevent data in ram from being overwritten or misread.
Note: All E5 60 D4 codes in the script are now E5 A0 D6. Unfortunately there are too many to list.
http://www.mediafire.com/?3i363mxfhicnecb
Version 76
By andwhyisit
- Moved the name data in D440 to D68D to prevent data in ram from being overwritten or misread.
Note: That one E5 40 D4 code in the script is now E5 8D D6. It's from the line that says "[name] appeared!" in bank 45.
http://www.mediafire.com/?gginzeict2onohw
Version 77
By Sanky
- Kurinon Village done! Story, NPCs and even unused text. Kimbles probably knows better than me, by this point. XD
http://wikifang.meowcorp.us/etc/TPatch77.ips
Version 78
By andwhyisit
- Fixed garbage text in Denjuu names over 6-char by stopping the copied entry from being truncated before the trailing E0.
- Increased printed characters for Denjuu names on the status screen.
- Increased printed characters for the Denjuu names on the pre-battle Denjuu selection screen.
- Increased printed characters for the in-battle Denjuu name that appears above the health bar.
http://www.mediafire.com/?bsyvsbslglgwouc
Version 79
By Sanky
- Fixes the game crashing upon picking up and placing an item again.
The single change: RO78:6FF9 ld a,0B RO78:6FFB ld (C423),a RO78:6FFE ret
http://wikifang.meowcorp.us/etc/TPatch79.ips
Version 80
By andwhyisit
- Apparently in v78 I only broke the character limit for the first name in the Denjuu selection screen. This should fix the limits for the second and third names.
http://www.mediafire.com/?1k1drpnt000llox
Version 81
By andwhyisit
- Nickname screen fixed.
http://www.mediafire.com/?vmqc4q3vljx5507
Version 82
By andwhyisit
- Fixes the Denjuu name not appearing during a phone call.
http://www.mediafire.com/?bws4rz0h7973b1c
Version 83
By kmeisthax
- This VWFs every other piece of text in the game (that I know about).
http://www.mediafire.com/?hz3r5w8srms52m6
Version 84
By kmeisthax
- This adds a byte at WRAM C7C8, when it's set to 1 it causes all letters to be treated as 8 pixels wide. This isn't actually set by anything, I need to write VWF-Enable and VWF-Disable control codes into the main script interpreter, but it's getting late.
http://www.mediafire.com/?8mc455y33rwh0m7
Version 85
By kmeisthax
- Adds two control codes EA (VWF disable) and EB (VWF enable).
- Still cannot be used until I modify the game to use a different script routine for the naming screens.
http://www.mediafire.com/?a66cb1jrzr1ipmf
Version 86
By andwhyisit
- Moved D4B1 names to D658 where they can't overwrite reserved values in ram.
- Mass replaced E5 B1 D4 with E5 58 D6 in the script.
- Fixed an E5 code typo in the phrase "[name]'s Denma attack went up!" causing the name to not display.
- Found a cure for Ornith's sadness. :P Yep. More name limit expansions.
- Expanded D420 to 16 chars and a trailing E0. Sorry Sanky but I had to remove your old hack.
- Moved D420's content to an unused section of ram to accomodate the full 17 bytes.
- Refixed the "[name] appeared!" message after the above changes.
- Applied FWF to name input screens. This adds an extra pointer to the game script btw.
http://www.mediafire.com/?e06d79bf25mbq7u
Version 87
By Sanky
- Added in Kimbles' Iris story and NPC translations!
- Tweaked the map text routine to enable text longer than 15 characters (moved it from CA00 to CCC0)
- Changed Pepperi Mount. to Pepperi Mountain accordingly, although we probably want to do full names later (i.e., The Devil's Mountain, Mt. Pepperi)
http://wikifang.meowcorp.us/etc/TPatch87.ips
Version 88
By andwhyisit
- All dialogue and associated pointer table pairs now occupy their own bank.
Note: Previously empty bank numbers 25, 43, 44, and 58 are now used.
http://www.mediafire.com/?e4bwd172ekp3dcr
Version 89
By Sanky
- Updated Kimbles' translations
- Corrected evolution graphics which were crashing before.
Originally (Japanese version):
0x1d - bank 0x4d + 0x65c9 (0x1365c9), 0x350 bytes compressed read in 0x9000 0x1e - bank 0x4d + 0x622e (0x13622e), 0x350 bytes compressed read in 0x9000 0x1f - bank 0x4d + 0x648d (0x13648d), 0x190 bytes compressed read in 0x9400
In v88 the graphics have mysteriously dematerialized. Now:
0x1d - bank 0x61 + 0x4000 (0x184000), 0x350 bytes compressed read in 0x9000 0x1e - bank 0x61 + 0x4350 (0x184350), 0x350 bytes compressed read in 0x9000 0x1f - bank 0x61 + 0x46e3 (0x1846e3), 0x190 bytes not compressed read in 0x9400
The first two are backgrounds and need not to be changed. The second one is the CANNOT EVOLVE text, which we might want to change (I fudged it a bit), so it's uncompressed. Yay! http://wikifang.meowcorp.us/etc/TPatch89.ips
Version 90
By Sanky
