It looks like Dynamic Designs has gotten another release ready just in time for the New Year! Er… Lunar New Year that is!

That wonderful little gem, Silva Saga-II, has now been totally translated and is ready for the public. A great number of very talented folks came together to get this classic game done and out the door. Countless numbers of hours were spent working hard to deliver a game with a beautifully polished script and look.

If you’ve been missing out on that great SNES RPG nostalgia, then check out the patch and head on over to the D-D!

Journey to Silius Plus aims to fix known bugs and to make the game more attractive to players. The game itself is also a bit harder, so players that have played Silius for a long time and know it well - may find it interesting.

This hack features slightly redesigned levels, rebalanced weapons, modified palettes, replaced and relocated enemies and more.

Finally, after nearly 10 long years since I started this project, Glory of Heracles: Snap Story translation is finished and completely in English. Snap Story is the Gameboy entry in the series, but it’s still quite fun… If you’re into old-school Dragon Quest clones. The game’s graphics are quite similar to Glory of Heracles II, but instead of gaining permanent party members ala II, you can enlist the aid of various gods as you level up. The gods act as party members that you can choose to use on a round by round basis.

All in all, it’s definitely worth a play if you’re a fan of the series or a fan of old-school Japanese RPGs.

I even went old-school and built an a RPGClassics shrine for the game while I was at it, just in case anybody needs a little help while playing the game. Enjoy. =)

Well, after 8 years the Castlevania: Rondo of Blood translation patch for the PC-Engine is now, essentially, complete! Mind you a majority of those 8 years was leaving it abandoned until just recently.

I say essentially complete because there are still three small things left to be done and with my limited knowledge of ROM hacking I’m unable to hack them in.

The three things are the text for the ferryman, the billboard in stageX and the title screen. Also the opening subtitles are all in SJIS characters which forces us to shorten the dialogue and take liberty’s with the translation in order to fit it in the game’s limited memory space. There is an alternate smaller font within the game that would fix this problem but neither Cubanraul or I know how to switch between the two fonts in the game’s text engine.

If anyone feels they can achieve these goals by themselves we can integrate them into this patch, you would be credited for it of course. A mockup of the game’s title screen can be found on the website for this patch, courtesy of fragmare.

But enough talk… have at you!

Today, I have released a translation patch for the NES adventure game Takeshi’s Challenge. Consider it a gift from Scrooge. :P

You’ve probably heard about this already. It’s pretty infamous for its poor quality. Or maybe the whole game was just a comedian playing a prank on everyone. :)

I was planning to release it on the 10th to celebrate its 25th anniversary, but replacing the graphics proved more time consuming than I thought. So instead you get to share the experience Japanese kids must’ve felt 25 years ago when they got this as a holiday gift. :D
