Hey guys, just wanted to let you know I haven't forgotten about you or Princess Crown.

Good news is we're still making progress and getting closer to the end. It's taken a lot longer than SamIAm or I would've hoped but we're going to get it done.

For those who have been trying to compile the Github code, it won't work. It's been broken for a while. Just be patient and we'll get it done.

Fantastic news. My original copy of Princess Crown is ready

Kind of a random question but, is this translation being tested on emulators or the actual system on a TV? Curious if a font that thin can be read easily on a TV, especially since the Saturn was designed for a SD CRT.

Could we get an ETA? I'm trying to decide whether I should just start playing it in Japanese and use the online translation guides, or stick it out and wait for the translation patch. If it's gonna be months or years I'd rather just play it in Japanese with a guide tbh.

It really depends on how much time we have available to work on it. I think it's safe to say there's a minimum of two months of work left. That's assuming both SamIAm and I were working on this full time which we aren't. Probably looking more like the latter half of 2019.

It's certainly up to you if you prefer to wait or not.

What all is left to be done? First release ain't gotta be perfect

See the first post in this thread for a progress report.

Most of my debugging and testing is done via Yabause. I do test on real hardware every so often using a real TV though not a CRT(I don't own one anymore). The original japanese font was 12x12 and just as thin. This is basically a variable-width(up to 12 pixels in height) font.

CyberWarriorX, I've been having a bad week. A REAL bad week. And you just made it so much better. The fact that we could be getting a 2019 release of this translation makes my heart sing. I've been following this project for...man how long HAVE I been following it? Years? I feel like it has to have been years at this point. And your dedication to it has been inspiring. I'm so excited for the final release. I'm not in any way interested in rushing you. I'm glad you're taking your time. But I'm so glad to have something to look forward to this year.

I'm hyped. That's more than fine. A ways off but I've got stuff to play until then so it's all good. Thanks for the ETA

New user in the forum I'm from Argentina. Been waiting for this release a long time now! Super hyped to know this is pretty much going to get out this 2019. Just wanted to give a HUGE thanks to CyberWarriorX and SamIAm for their work and effort! 
Sorry about my poor english. Have a nice year!

Simply wanted to tip my hat and say I am also immensely looking forward to the final release of this translation. I've been wanting to play through Princess Crown in English for quite a while. 6+ years working on a patch is quite amazing so I truly appreciate all the work you've done. Please keep it up, I hope you release it this year!

I intend to play through this on my RHEA board inside my Saturn on a CRT (so I can mention if the font looks wonky at any point).

With regards to patching, is there any chance the patch utility can patch the files created by CloneCD? I used this to rip my discs into the format required by RHEA (it supports other formats, but not when there's audio tracks separate from the data track on the disc).

If not, that's cool. I can just reburn it on a CD-RW and then re-rip it for RHEA. Just thought I'd throw this out there, along with encouragement. Well done all involved.
