2. The first
question

3. Are there any courses on
video game localisation?

4. Well, not so
many...

5. But they are very
good!

6. Like the one that
Carme teaches 

7. So why
innovating?

8. Because there’s always
room for improvement!

9. Carme’s course was
very complete and
met my expectations

10. There was an introduction
to video games

11. We studied the
video game localisation process

12. We translated dialogues involving pirates

13. We translated menus and commands

14. We practiced characterisation
in dialogues

15. We did exercises with
variables and tags

16. And we learnt how to report bugs

17. BUT…

18. I missed something!

19. Because when you localize a video game,
the best moment is when you see your text...

20. On screen!

21. When I localized

22. Before

24. After

26. And I was
very happy!

27. So then I started thinking...

28. Romhacking allows the
modification of old video games

31. I have published this...

32. And this...

34. Aha!

35. I got it!

36. Why don’t we use
romhacking to localize old
video games in class?

37. Students will be happy after seeing
their translations on screen!

38. They will be more
motivated!

39. Bringing romhacking to class
will be easy...

40. With these tools!

42. Whaaat?

43. People don’t use these tools!

44. They are VERY complex...

47. I have the solution

48. We can use easy-to-use
editors for specific games

49. Like this one for Final Fantasy III

50. Or this one for
The Legend of Zelda

51. Let me prove this is real

52. DEMO

53. So you can do it!

54. This was just an

55. There are more things
to consider, but...

56. :(

57. :)
