A Dai no Daibouken romhack? Is there a link to the patch?

Red Mages in FF11 could also do the en- spells to their weapons which added additional elemental damage on melee attacks. I always felt Mystic was the upgrade to Red as well.

Not too much grinding is needed from what I remember. The encounter rate isn't as bad as some other rpgs of the era either.

I personally dislike censorship of any kind, but for this particular project I don't see what the big deal is. At least it had a "regular" translation already, this is just a labor of love at this point from these folks that made this one to emulate their favorite childhood translations.

This is amazing! The gameplay looks very solid. Fast paced and nice fluid moves. This is UWC (1988), which would quickly become WCW  also in 1988.

The main character in the series is Hosuke Sharaku so that old translation is indeed wrong.

Such a charming idea. I never thought I'd see a Beatles NES hack.

I think everyone that works on hacks, translations whether they're games/anime/manga and so on does so because they want to play/watch/read them. These are always passion projects, and you should never work on something you have no interest in when it's a fan work or else you'll lose that passion and interest.

So I agree with Mugi, I'm sure Mugi would like to just play the finished product, but sometimes you just have to do it yourself because not everyone will share your thoughts on projects.

Gaming Discussion / Re: Game Save Editing and game cheat devices are now illegal in Japan.

But a personal save file for a single player game, even if it is in the cloud, can't affect anyone else. I wonder what the law is all about.

But those same devices can be used for games that do go online though. If you pass a law, you can't really say "you can use this device for this game, but not this game!"

Japanese companies have also been cracking down on modded APKs for mobile games. I can name a lot of games that go on mass ban sprees when people start blatantly cheating on things that have leaderboards, etc.

That's not really surprising to me. With many games basically being online only or heavily online based and with trophies/achievements, cheating devices don't really have a proper place anymore since they can effect other people now.

As for fear mongering of being arrested, like anything else, just don't sell your modded systems on Yahoo Auctions or Ebay. Nothing will happen if you mod your own stuff for personal use... no one would know.

Wow, very nice work! I noticed no typos in the game descriptions and haven't spotted any bugs.

Thank you so much for your hard work on this everyone. Shin-chan has had a special place in my heart for years (before Funimation's version even), so it's great to see this get a lot of love.

I'm not the OP, but I just want to give a big thanks USC and Psyklax for the stuff on pointers and Cartographer/Atlas in this thread. I have been tinkering with a Japanese gameboy game in my spare time between projects, and feel like I have a better understanding now.
