Spoiler for ???:

I really don't see that. Yoshiya is a lot closer to Yeshua if you ask me

also this gives me a chance to post some interesting trivia from the episode 7 thread

Gosh I sure hope it's not anything more than a reference.

Old news?

Spoiler for the main reason why it's "Lion" not "Lyon" or "Leon":

EVA ANGE LION = Gospel = Fukuin

Spoiler for hmmm:

we rarely refer to Jesus by the word "Yasu-يسوع", we commonly call him "prophet Essa or Isa عيسى", Arabic-speaking Christians refer to him as "Yasu" ^^

good luck witch Hunt with TL of EP7!
and sorry If the post was kinda out of place ^^' "and I apoligaze for the bad English lol"

As for EP7 lenght
Just for comparison, with my file sizes:

EP3: 2,00MB
EP4: 2,40MB
EP5: 1,96MB
EP6: 2,06MB
EP7: 1,87MB

I use a software called Jwpce to organize the text I rip from the game, and not have to fuck my ctrl key searching for information, just to notice.

However, since EP7 is a bit more polished than the others, I'd say its a bit closer to EP5.

Did everyone notice that Chrono is absent? I wonder if that means that he's totally immersed in translating :>

[Klashikari]

Romaji of all new characters have been already found out, save one (those who had read ep7 know whom I'm talking about).
We are still waiting for Ryukishi's confirmation, but that is not really a big priority for the moment.

Meanwhile, I'm done with all pictures, except the "book", which also requires some help from Ryukishi (nearly unreadable portions on the left side).

[Keriaku]

That's an interesting status update, thanks Klashikari.

Im really grateful for your guys' work.

It's thanks to your efforts Im able to take more out of Ryukishi's works than just "lolDEEN".

Not sure if this is the right place to post this, but I managed to get Umineko along with the WH patch to work on my iPhone/iPod Touch. I've only tested it with EP 4 but there's no reason why it wouldn't work with the other EPs.

The hardest part with getting this to work completely was to build a working version of onscripter-en for iPhone, which I did (although with a quite old version, I couldn't get newer versions onscripter-en to work).

I'm going to release this build and a tutorial soon after I test more stuff and after my exams.

Here are some screenshots:

Spoiler for Umineko:

0neoc, I am very interested in your efforts. Thank you!

Thanks for the name of chapter four, now I'll like to know if the patch that I found here "[WH] Umineko Chiru v2.0" It's still usable on chapter 7, what I mean is, should I buy chapter 6 to be able to go that far, or with chapter 7 is still playable with that patch? Thanks in advance for any Help

Just read the first 4 eps first or re-read them if you've already read them. By the time you finish, we'll *probably* already have an ep7-compatible patch for eps 5-6.

P.S. Chrono is still absent ;_;

I don't think you could play Ep 7 with the Ep 6 patch, but the Episode 7 patch that will play Episode 5 & 6 for you should be out at some point.

Speaking of which, has there been any word on this? Like, are there any big code differences between 6 and 7 that might be an issue for creating the patch for 5&6 on Ep 7?

[zorahk]

Can anyone help me out real quick?

I just bought Umineko Ep 7 at Mandarake the other day in Akihabara.
It took me a few stores to find a place that had it in stock, but luckily Mandarake did. (plus they give out free slipcases and comics with their first print stock!)
I want to play it on my macbook pro, but I forgot the method...
I remember it being something with replacing and moving around certain files, but I don't remember too well.
Does anyone remember how to get it working for mac?

[TW25]

To get EP7 working on a Mac:

1. Create a folder for the contents of the disc in Applications.
2. Insert the disc, double-click the disc icon, and copy all of its contents into the folder. (A lot of these probably aren't necessary like the .exe but they don't take up much space so I just kept them)
3. Then copy ONScripter and default.ttf into the fullsrc folder. To get these files go to the Witch Hunt patch folder for either 1-4 or 5-6 and right click the game icon and click 'Show Package Contents'. Then take default.ttf from the Resources folder. To get ONScripter, follow Roto's link below.
4. Now all you need to do is go into the EP7 folder, into fullsrc and then run ONScripter.

I'm sure there is a better way to do it, but this worked for me for both EP6 and EP7.

Ripping the ONScripter-EN binary out of another app bundle is not a good idea. If it launches at all that way, expect problems because it's intended, like any Mac application, to be part of an application bundle, not a standalone binary.

The proper solution is to grab the latest release of ONScripter-EN for Mac OS X and use that.

Pulling the default.ttf file out of the bundle is perfectly okay, though.

[TW25]

Sorry about that, I had no idea. I'll edit my above post.

Any updates on the status of episode 7's translation?

[ArcticHelm]

I'm sure it'll be a while. o -o) . . .
