Meowth GBA Translator is an open-source, AI-powered tool that automates translation of Pokémon GBA ROMs (including binary hacks like FireRed, Emerald, Ruby/Sapphire, and Mystery Dungeon). Powered by LLMs (supports OpenAI, DeepSeek, Gemini, Claude, Groq, and 10+ others), it extracts text, translates intelligently while preserving codes and context, then rebuilds the ROM — all in one click via a friendly GUI or simple CLI command.
Supports 6+ languages (Chinese, English, French, German, Italian, Spanish) with optimized prompts and smart font patching. Focus on gameplay mods, let AI handle the words. Free, MIT-licensed, cross-platform.

Really cool project. I like that you are focusing on preserving code and context instead of doing a naive text replacement pass. The one click GUI approach also makes this much more accessible for ROM hack communities that are not very technical. Curious how well it handles edge cases like custom text encodings, variable width fonts, and script expansion when the translated text is much longer than the original.

Interesting project. Automating ROM translation while preserving codes and formatting sounds pretty useful.
