It would be amazing to see the english translation of Neo Geo's only RPG released!  Thanks for all the work on this.  :beer:

Update:

  • As of this morning, all of the voiceover text stuff has been timed.
  • Now I need to start testing. Going to engage in a little basic game hacking to try and accelerate leveling up, because this game is neither short nor easy.
  • I also have to hex edit two bytes to fix a couple of bits of the intro. I wish I had documented the process I used to find the right hex coordinates when I fixed up the intro before, because I can't remember it for the life of me.
  • The last bit of graphical text to be fixed is in the opening chapter select. My artist is working on these.
It's coming along... still need a 68k ASM hacker to fix a few pointer redirects.

Good to know, i hope you'll find one/several asm hackers to help you.

The translation itself was done years ago, as evidenced in the video walkthrough I posted back in 2015 or so. But yes, it's in the home stretch.
