Hey there! It would be a manual translation. Might take me a long time though since it would be my first time translating a game, but I am not willing to back down!

Wow! Thanks so much for taking the time to respond. I am not much of a coder so a lot of what you said went over my head (sysadmin here lol). Very interesting stuff here though. It doesn't sound easy at all unfortunately. I will look into it more later, but right now I am probably better off shelving this, or commissioning someone to research and create me a disassembler of some kind.

I am looking for help in extracting the script for two games. The first is sisters ~Natsu no Saigo no Hi. According to VNDB this is using a game engine called ISM. I used GARbro to look at the .isa data files. Within the data file there are .ism files which I am assuming contain the script. These are binary files from what I can find, but I am not sure how to decrypt/open them to begin translating. The second game is Kanojo x Kanojo x Kanojo. This game uses the AST engine according to VNDB. The data files for this are named dat01, dat02, etc... with no extension. Viewing dat01 with GARbro shows all of the script files. These are in .adv and when I extract them they are easily edited as straight text files. The problem I am having is being able to repack the dat01 file without an extension. So I guess what I am looking for is any tools anyone has that can be used to unpack and repack AST and/or ISM game files. Anything helps.
