You may choose an other location for that folder if you want to.
You may choose an other location for that folder if you want to.
Spoiler: Third step
Third of all, open the Pokémon Black or White ROM with the NitroExplorer 2B program.
Example: If your ROM has the name "Pokemon - Black.nds", open "Pokemon - Black.nds" with NitroExplorer.
Then head to the following locations, and then click on them to select them:
Then you want to click the "Extract" button at the top of the program.
A screen will pop up where to save the file.
Save the "2" file to "PPTXT / Main" folder and the "3" file to "PPTXT / Story" folder.Then you want to go to that two folders. Rename both files to: "2.narc" and "3.narc".
So what you basicly want to do is put ".narc" behind your desired name.
What you should have now is:PPTXT / Main / "2.narc"
PPTXT / Story / "3.narc"Okay now that's done, let's do the extracting and importing. Check if you've done everything as descriped.

Spoiler: Fourth step
Fourth of all, you want to do, is try to open "PPTXT.exe".
If it says that it misses DLL's, just check if the DLL's are in the same folder as "PPTXT.exe".
If not, post a reaction here. But let's continue...When you've opened "PPTXT.exe", click "File > Open Narc".
Then browse to the following locations:Main:
PPTXT / Main and double-click "2.narc".Story:
PPTXT / Story and double-click "3.narc".When that happend successfully, you can continue on. If not, try again.When you've opened your desired NARC file, you go to: "File > Export all to files" and click it.
You will be asked to where you want to save your files. It is the same folder as your NARC is in.
Go to the folder where your narc is and press "Choose". This is why you want two folders in it,
they are called "0000" and "0001". In the "0000" folder, the normal Japanese text pops up after extracting.
But in the "0001" there will be a special version of Japanese, called "Kanji", this is the other Japanese alphabet.
Anyways, when that is done, you can continue to the next step.At this stage, you can translate the ".txt" files. This is the translating.
They're located at the same folder your narc is in. Remember to translate the "0000" folder.
If it says that it misses DLL's, just check if the DLL's are in the same folder as "PPTXT.exe".
If not, post a reaction here. But let's continue...When you've opened "PPTXT.exe", click "File > Open Narc".

They're located at the same folder your narc is in. Remember to translate the "0000" folder.
