That’s right, this Fourth of July I have a translation patch for Final Mission, a pretty good shooter for the NES. Enjoy.

Not really…
The translation for Kyoryu Sentai ZyuRanger (Kyouryuu Sentai Juuranger according to GoodNES) is finally released.
The characters may look familiar to you, as this is the Japanese/original version of what would eventually come to America as Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers.
Enjoy this fun little platformer.

Good news about the Kanon translation project! It’s now time to release the final version of the patch. Here are some words from NDT:
We wish to release the final patch on July 21, on Key’s 10th Anniversary. That is one month from today. The cutoff date will be July 19th. I do hope that you, my friends, will see this to be reasonable timeframe to improve our work.
So, expect a finished translation soon!

All versions of the original retail release of Phantasy Star IV had one particularly nasty bug: when you leveled your party to 99 (the maximum), character stats would be applied incorrectly. Many stats were reduced or swapped between characters, and several attack skills could be wiped from your characters’ memory. Furthermore, the Japanese version had another bug: when Chaz (Rudy) learns Megid, it replaces Nazan. This romhack is a simple patch that fixes both of these bugs.
Seth’s stats and skillset still suffer from the level 99 bug. However, considering the minor role in which he plays in the game, this should not be of much concern. Leveling Seth to 99 does not affect any other characters.

A few of you may have noticed Romhacking.net was down for a little bit. I hope your withdrawal wasn’t too bad. :P Well, we’re back now. :) Since I can only type with one hand, I’ll just copy and paste to fill in anybody who hasn’t been in the know.
From a few days ago:
Romhacking.net is currently down to the public and in the rebuilding process. The server we were on was a victim of complete data loss as a result of a widespread attack and vulnerability from HyperVM, a host node VPS (Virtual Private Server) control software. Much real life drama including a suicide relating to this issue has gone on. You can read an overview at the following:
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2009/06/09/lxlabs_funder_death/
Though this event was technically beyond my control, I apologize for any lapse in administrative judgment regarding backups and choice of host that have led to this partial (up to two months) data loss. I take preservation of our community’s data seriously and take pride in being a trustworthy Administrator. I hope this incident does not tarnish Romhacking.net’s image, your trust in me, or our community’s strength. Romhacking.net will return shortly to resume being a central hub for our community and archiving and preserving it’s accomplishments. There is nothing that can wipe out RHDN, only provide us with a temporary setback. Current status:
- We have restored the site from backup as of April 5th, 2009 and recovered most added information from Google cache since then, and will work to restore it as well.
- We have moved to a new VPS server being managed by custom VPS control software and do not expect the same occurrence to ever happen again.
- Romhacking.net is expected to return to partial service within 24 hours. Some features such as forum registration may remain down for a few more days while other services such as e-mail are restored.
Additional steps are being taken to further protect our history and continue to keep it safe at ROMhacking.net for years to come.
If you want to help out with a few remaining restoration issues, please see this forum topic:
http://www.romhacking.net/forum/index.php/topic,8395.msg130820.html
You don’t know how much you miss something until it’s gone, right? So, enjoy RHDN again if you’ve missed it. If you didn’t miss it, well, why are you here reading this!? Go away! :P

Do you like god awful games? Or perhaps you have a craving for some soccer/football? Or perhaps you’d like to revisit a quirky shooter. Yes, for the past month or so I have been churning patches to offer something for everyone, but unfortunately Twinbee 3 will mark the end of this flurry of activity and I will now buckle down and work on bigger and better things. Hopefully.
