ROM Hacking Discussion / Re: Is anyone still translating the Serial Experiments Lain ps1 game?

« on: February 20, 2019, 01:02:04 am »

There was a script released a while back that translated most of the documents and the FMVs, if memory serves, because they decided the rest would be too much work.

Everything's better with Sailor Moon.


Still waiting for a DRPG.

ROM Hacking Discussion / Re: Fixing Last Blade 2's 'translation'?

« on: January 22, 2018, 07:50:22 am »

I know it's not helpful, but I've always wanted to see Last Blade and other classic SNK games retranslated so best of luck   

I agree the game really deserves better.

Edit : I just remembered a member named Her Saki translated some NeoGeo games into Spanish less than a year ago. They seem active too. If they don't see this thread, try contacting them.

Thanks, I sent a message. Here's hoping.

ROM Hacking Discussion / Fixing Last Blade 2's 'translation'?

« on: January 19, 2018, 09:06:45 pm »

As some of you may know, Last Blade 2 has a... spotty translation.





Okay, it straight up sucks. Has anyone taken a look at the files to see if patching it is possible? If so, I'm more than happy to(if not desperate to) help edit it, because I think the game deserves better.

Looks really sharp. Is it possible to do something similar for VI?

You know, I've been wondering if WD made any significant changes on the shooters they ported (Elemental Gearbolt, RayStorm, RayCrisis, Thunder Force V).

I know Elemental Gearbolt is hard as ALL HELL on the US version, but Alfa System games aren't exactly easy...

So uh... does anyone have this? I want to try and see if we can hack it to put the fan translation files in. No one elsewhere's been any help.

And the devs actively post at shmups.system11, so I doubt anyone there's gonna suggest much.

It's a real departure from the old one. How do I get to a dark theme? I thought someone said there was one.

You can change it in your profile settings. It's a lifesaver.

ROM Hacking Discussion / Re: Castle Shikigami 1 [Shikigami no Shiro] : Released!

« on: June 24, 2017, 11:34:24 am »

So uh, it's out now. Honestly not that much different from the beta, apart from having voices(with amazing sound tweaking done contributed by DackR)

Seeing the official release with its typos, grammar errors, and such pained me, so I just had to get this out in the wild. Hopefully you have an enjoy.

I may still add voice files for Shoujo and Fumiko down the line, I have a friend who's taking a crack at it.


Thanks for everyone here who helped it happen!

I would also prefer a darker theme... the main page also seems kind of crowded? But it's definitely more visual, especially with the screens.

Really glad to see this is a thing. My skills aren't up to translating it, sadly, but I'd love to help in any other way I can. I love the first game.

It's out. The translation is solid, but... rough. Like it's badly edited.

Assuming it even WAS edited.



It's very faithful, but not all it should be.



To compare(fan translation):




What's hilarious is they didn't fix the text, like EsperKnight did in our version.




Forced to the left, doesn't use the whole box like it could(and should).

Is this game a straight visual novel or does it have gameplay/routes?

There's no routes, but every chapter has investigative gameplay, somewhat like Tex Murphy. Don't click the magnifying glass, it's an automatic puzzle solver.

I know.
Also, Suda's vetting doesn't mean much. This is the man that's been doing nothing but that for the past decade.

On a side note, game developers need to be more reverent with how they handle video game remasters. Often times, it feels like their going down a buzz word shopping list and applying it to the game without thinking (1080p, 60fps, widescreen).
The Silver Case PC port is a victim of this shopping list approach.

Still, this is a venture that deserves to be successful. A 16+ year localization of a JP-only PS1 text-heavy adventure game is nothing short of a miracle.

A lot more work went into this, as well. New art was created and high resolution sources were used in addition to the new 3D graphics.

It IS a Unity recreation that was slapped together in a matter of months. But Suda personally oversaw it, for what it's worth. He vetted the project.

How obtuse is this game...? Is it Serial Experiments Lain bad or is it really well done where all the ends are tied, like Ghost Trick?

Well, uh, I love Serial Experiments Lain, so maybe I'm not one to ask... it's very obtuse, but rewards insight.

I'm pretty sure people stopped having interesting discussions about things like this here about a decade ago.

Well, may as well rectify it!

Whiteout and Yami, prequels to The 25th Ward and FSR respectively, are now on Steam.



They're fantastic.

And The 25th Ward is next.

Followed the link and watched the vid that was playing. Didn't see a single castle...?!?

Usually it's the final level. Usually. It's more of a backstory thing.

I feel like this was done JUST for me, but ah well. Since this board is the reason the fan translation of this game happened, I feel the project deserves all the love.

Sadly, I'm not involved. Rest assured I asked. I just hope it's in good hands.

The lack of story screens has me a little nervous.


If the localization is a hot mess, I'll know.

Some devs take localization very seriously, namely Suda51. He was personally involved in vetting the localizations for Silver Case and FSR.
