Well, I know that at least with SNES and GBC roms you can open them in a hex editor and find dialogue text displayed in plain text and edit it as such. It's actually fairly simple to search for a particular string of text from a game and then simply edit it to whatever you want this way, though formatting can be an issue when your replacement text contains more or less characters than the original text. I imagine with a japanese rom you would find the japanese text this way (though it could work differently, who knows), and replace it with the english text. Though of course, this would require knowing how to read japanese to identify which text to replace with which english text
In any case if you're interested in checking this out on english roms (it's pretty interesting) you could check out the hex editor XVI32 and try loading a few games in it; http://www.handshake.de/user/chmaas/...load/xvi32.zip
Try hitting CTRL+F and selecting "Text string" with the rom loaded and typing in some text from the game

"I think that the problem with this video is it is highly derivative of many popular bands within the genre. Although when viewed on its own merits, it does have a deeper groove. However what it has in groove, it lacks in originality. One can't help but be reminded of such bands as Pearl Jam, White Zombie, Suicidal Tendencies and other bands that bear the mantle of so called "Alternative Rock". One is even reminded of Lorie Anderson when she wore curlers. Hehehmhm! This video speaks less to the heart and more to the sphincter. In closing, I think Korn would do well to learn more from -"
