Thanks 

The one thing I don't like about my routine is that it doesn't have the bottom-up "fade out" effect anymore, but it's pretty unimportant.

Stumbled upon a pretty fun BS-X game, got bored, hacked up a new text routine and dumped the (short) script for absolutely no reason. Dunno if I'll do anything with it (unless I find someone willing to translate and spice up about 9kb of somewhat terse dialogue), but hey, sometimes boredom can be fun.

I would like to read much more such posts here.

Well done. This looks very professional.

Sweet! One of the best BS-X games, esspeacialy because of the 2 Player Mode! It really deserves a translation and is a very unique and cool project - BS-X games dont get a lot attention from romhackers even though there are even still untranslated Squaresoft games around (with Radical Dreamers being the only translated BS-X game so far)

I agree! and games like BS Treasure Conflix should be translated soon!

As a huge tokusatsu fan, I would be more than willing to translate and spice up the text for you.

If you proceed with the Sxxx-man translation, please come up with a title that doesn't sound like a load of gibberish and/or is just a romanized version. I have an interest in the series and would like to it see it done justice with a bit of localization/creativity.

Shockman Zero?
(or seeing as how the Shockman that was released was the second game, I'd guess you'd have to go with Shockman -1? )

If I could figure out what Shubibin means, it would be a great deal of help in that regard. But unfortunately, information on the internet is pretty scarce about this series. Hell, even the wikipedia articles and HG101 has the kanji for the main part of the title wrong (改造超人 instead of 改造町人)

The first two bosses in Pyron, not yet coded. The one on the left is the much more innocuous looking, and two dimensional. I don't know if I should go back and "shine" up some of the sprites in the game, but there is only so much time in the world.

It's not like the sprites couldn't be polished later on, if time does show up, and you still wanna But they still look cool! Been looking forward to Pyron for a looong time.

That would be great! I can send the script your way soon, I just need to annotate it a bit first.

Shockman Zero?

That's what I was thinking of changing it too, just for the sake of consistency and being able to steal the title logo, but other sensible suggestions are welcome too, of course

[Crysta]

I actually did.. well.. mockups (couldn't program then either) of a titlescreen and some of the intro graphics for that game about 6 years ago.. been waiting that long for someone to decide to translate it. Nothing special and will probably get passed over, but still...





Note I have no translating ability at all, so I can't really remember where I got the line above the title from. Did I make it up? Did I deuce it out somehow? Not a damn clue. That was 6 years ago.

[DarknessSavior]

You probably got the subtitle from the various sources online which claim it's 改造超人 (Cyborg Superhuman) instead of what it really is 改造町人 (Cyborg Townsfolk or something...).

I think there is a joke here, in that that’s not really the correct reading for 町人, but they’re going with it anyway.

Perhaps シュビビン is a contraction of シュビビーム (because the ン morphs into an ‘m’ in front of マン). What’s a シュビ? I don’t know what it シュビ.

...Merchant... At least, it's what jisho says...

かいぞうちょうにん. It shares a similar pronunciation with 超人 (ちょうじん)

Oh man! I'm useful!

Except the furigana for those kanji read ちょうじん, which, I guess is where the joke lies.

I apologize for butting in there then. Though, to be honest, given the sense of humor the games have.. I would expect that misunderstanding is on purpose and the base of some joke wherein the mad scientist that "created" the characters was asked for the former but provided the latter.

[DarknessSavior]

Sounds about right. It's a play on one of the things from Masked Rider. For instance, in Masked Rider Black, the main character is modified to be a cyborg (or a 改造人間, literally "remodeled human", but the term in this case implies cyborg).

Jojo's bizzare adventure on SFC! your translating this game?!

[Gideon Zhi]

Spent a couple of hours dumping the script. We'll see if anything comes of it.

Anyone interested (and skilled enough), feel free to PM me.
