The Game Boy Advance of Final Fantasy V featued a terrible port of the music, with aggressive instruments. This hack was made to fix this problem by re-inserting back the original SNES soundtrack in the GBA game.

In this version 2.0, the Final Fantasy V Advance Sound Restoration hack has been completely remade from scratch in a new version, using the same technique used in the Final Fantasy VI advance patch, where the soundtrack was entirely re-sequenced.

The hack also changes a few sound effects, and features a fully orchestrated introduction !

As a plus, this hack also greatly reduces lagging problems that were introduced by reducing the CPU usage for mixing sound. Now all spells will play their animations at the original SNES rate.

17/10/2011 - Project Announcement There has been much debate within this project about when it could be the right time to make this announcement – is there even a right time? We couldn’t really answer that, however we thought now is as good a time as any: when we have progress to show and are happy to invite help! So, with that I am happy to announce a new translation project for Tales of Rebirth (PS2 and PSP).

The project really began in 2010, when it escalated into a full team of hackers, translators, editors and any other roles you can think of! We’re all happy with the progress made, but there is still much left to do, so, even though this post is an announcement of the project, you can think of it as an advertisement for help. We are looking for someone with adequate Japanese to English translation skills. Do you think you fit that criteria and have an interest in joining our team as a translator? Drop me a personal message on this forum and we’ll talk some more.

Screenshots Any and all translations are subject to change.

This patch translates the amazingly fun PSX game Choro Q3, the third and last game made by Tamsoft, the creators of this now very long series by TAKARA.

Choro Q3 has 100 customizable cars, more than 40 completely different tracks, a big city to explore, 100 hidden “events” to find, great two-player modes, lots of extras, and, most importantly, excellent gameplay. Most fans consider Choro Q3 as the best one in the series!

Trans. Note: I’m still an absolute beginner in Japanese, and my English is not very good; but since this is just a racing game without any kind of story or dialogues, I hope you won’t mind all the Engrish that you may find. This was my first hack, I hope you like it!

From the brilliant talent that brought us Metroid Super Zero Mission comes a special treat… Metroid Super Zero Mission Hard Edition! Also new is the most up-to-date version 2.2 of the standard edition, but the main attraction of this release is the Hard Edition. There are a lot of new puzzles and surprises awaiting any player who dares to take on the Hard Edition.

Ys Origin is a Japanese Action RPG released in 2006 for Microsoft Windows by Nihon Falcom. It’s the seventh game in the Ys series but as a prequel, it’s the first in terms of chronology. It’s also the first game in the series not to revolve around the adventures of Adol Christin.

Taking place 700 years before the events of “Ancient Ys Vanished” (Ys I & II), this game tells much of the back-story of Ys, Darm Tower, the Black Pearl, the twin goddesses and the six priests. The game revolves around three characters as they journey through Darm Tower: Yunica Tovah, Hugo Fact and Thor Fact. Each character has their own motives for climbing the tower and playing through with all three characters will reveal the entirety of the events taking place.

The patch translates all the game (texts, graphics and executables) into English. It removes the region check and the Windows Japanese version check. It’s fully playable now. Enjoy it!

I am pleased to announce the public release of The Rat Race, a subtle hack of EarthBound which restores a great many censored elements from the original Mother 2 while altering and switching some of the major characters to make it a different story from the original.

The best way to describe this game, in my opinion, is as a kind of applied fan fiction; while literary EarthBound fan fiction abounds and several game hacks as well, I’ve not seen these concepts combined until now. Where EarthBound is a rather satirical look at modern life in the West (especially in the USA), The Rat Race is a similar story told from the point of view of those being satirized.

In any event, anyone who’s played EarthBound should find the settings and story of The Rat Race both familiar and strange much as the characters in the original Star Trek found their mirror universe to be in the “Mirror, Mirror” episode, albeit (I hope) not so much more evil. Enjoy!

(Now that I think of it, however, exploring an evil mirror universe of EarthBound might be a story worth pursuing. If anyone here has the interest and know-how to make that game, feel free.)

It’s been a long time coming, but Mr Fwibbles has returned as part of a brand new group called “Adventurous Translations” to finally bring us the 100% complete version of his English translation patch for the Game Boy Color RPG, Grandia: Parallel Trippers! There are NO known errors. It wasn’t a simple project, either - more information and screenshots in the zip.
