Translating a japanese PS game

Hello, this could be considered a request for help, but please hear me out. I am not very computer savvy, but a friend gave me this:

Okay took a quick look and there's good news and bad news.

The good - only one image file in the game and thats the text used for name entry. So that means all the other stuff is in plain text, including character names and menus (I hope, unless they're counted as 3d objects which I'll verify later).

The bad - I can't make heads or tails of the file structure nor their interdependence at first glance. But I'll take my sweet time tomorrow afternoon since I have nothing to do until tuesday. I can't really pick out dialouge text - yet but again I'll look carefully and report patterns ASAP.

It'd be nice to have some people with more hacking experience onboard. I looked at the Tales of Phantasia project page for clues but they seem to keep everything to themselves, so if I can't figure out this stuff the next step would be to beg for assistence.

And that's why I'm here. If you guys feel like it, please get the game and tinker with it. We could really use some help with this.

I translate in my spare time. I have a patch for this game ready and waiting. Tested on 3 machines. I'll willingly give you this patch...but on one condition: You must pass a test.

The test will be at least ten questions long, and will also involve THREE (3) pieces of photographic evidence. (A) You must provide a full-body picture of yourself holding the box in one hand and all three discs plus the manual in the other. (B) You must rip the customer feedback card into four equivalent-sized pieces, place one piece on each of the three discs, place the final piece on top of the box, and take a picture of all that. (C) You must destroy the support disc, then place the remains label-side-up on top of the box. You do not need the support disc for our patch.
