This section is dedicated to abandoned project work. This includes unfinished documents, utilities, translations, and hacks. One hacker's abandoned trash may be another hacker's treasure trove! We ask that any submission in this section contain only one compressed archive file with all of the projects work as well as a file with some description on the contents of the archive. Any submissions for unfinished Utilities, Translations, and Hacks should include full source code.

| Mega Man 9 NES | Chpexo | [EDIT] [REMOVE] | I tried porting Mega Man 9 to the NES for many years actually until the project came to a halt.

| Akuma-kun Makai no Wana | Tomato | [EDIT] [REMOVE] | I translated the text for Akuma-kun way back in like 2001, but I guess the project fell apart at some point after I finished. Feel free to use these files however you want - it's been a loooong time though so it might be worth just retranslating from scratch. |
| Albert Odyssey 2 | Bongo’ | [EDIT] [REMOVE] | Abandoned Albert Odyssey 2 translation work from Bongo’ including notes, tools, and source code. No readme file with detailed information on contents. |

| Benkei Gaiden: Suna no Shou | Bongo’ | [EDIT] [REMOVE] | Benkei Gaiden: Suna no Shou translation work from Bongo’ including notes, tools, script, and source code. No readme file with detailed information on contents. |
| Blue Almanac | Guest | [EDIT] [REMOVE] | This is another starter pack that takes care of script extraction and insertion. This sort of thing would be meaningless unless anything relating to the script is compressed which is usually the case anyways. Source and tools are included. Note: There is a licensed commercial translation by Super Fighter Team available to purchase on their website. The game has been retitled "Star Odyssey."

| Casper | tashi | [EDIT] [REMOVE] | This is a mostly complete English translation of the SNES Casper originally released in Japan in 1997 based on the movie "Casper" released two years prior. The Casper game by Natsume released in America in 1996 has no connection to this game in any way. In this game, the player controls Kat in an isometric world. Casper follows her around the haunted mansion helping her search for her father. Exploration and puzzle-solving abound. All the while, the evil Carrigan and her henchman, Dibs, have grown impatient and are hot on your trail. Can Kat and Casper overcome the odds and save Kat's daddy?! I am abandoning this project because the intro contains compressed text and a few cutscenes use a sprite-based font which I cannot hack. As is, all in-game dialogue is translated and inserted, so I consider the game very playable, even if incomplete. In this archive you will find IPS and xdelta patches, the Japanese table, my English table, the Atlas script I inserted, and some other notes. |
| Castlevania Starter Pack | Guest | [EDIT] [REMOVE] | This is a starter pack, containing a text and graphics dumper and inserter for Castlevania for X68000. |

| DQ3 Remix Abandoned Tools and Work | byuu | [EDIT] [REMOVE] | The archive contains: - 12×12 font decompressor - dialogue text decompressor - 99+% accurate, complete 12×12 kanji table - 12×12 font insertor + hack (inserted font is not compressed) - dialogue text insertor + hack (inserted text is not compressed) - notes on disassemblies, offsets and variables used by font and dialogue compression routines - partial (~10%) script translation that was done by myself, probably not very accurate. Translates most of the intro and first town or two. |

Includes the completed English translation patch (to apply to one of your ROMs to use as a reference point) and a patch by Malias which fixes the compressed text that the starter pack didn't. |

| Zelda4DX editor | cooltoby | [EDIT] [REMOVE] | The reason why I am actually posting is that I am looking for somebody who might be interested to continue this project. It's written in C# I think if somebody would write a save function, you could already use it for small hacks… |
