Tengai Makyou Zero translation project

[Tom]

Guys, I got bad news. The screenshots that I submitted for the translation got auto-rejected, so you probably won't be able to download the translation from this website on the 22nd (Japanese time), but I'll definitely send the translation out to anybody who wants it at that time, even if I have to e-mail it out myself!

ooh why did they get auto-rejected?? meh...
I have waited an eternity for the translation of this game to be ready
ooh yah! so I can wait a bit longer..

[Tom]

No, no. You don't have to wait. I'll still e-mail the files to anybody who wants them. It'll be the 22nd in Japan in less than twelve hours now. Just direct-message your e-mail address to me through twitter (https://twitter.com/RetroTranslator), and I'll send it out to you myself. (Just don't send any messages through romhacking.net, as my inbox is nearly full.)

The screenshots got rejected because they didn't conform to the dimension requirements, I think. The screenshot guidelines recommend using ZSNES for screenshots, but it's not compatible with this hack. I'd be happy to submit it without any pictures at all, but one screenshot is a requirement for all submissions, unfortunately, and all four of the pictures I sent were not up to par.

You are not limited to ZSNES screenshots. You can use ANY emulator with screenshot capabilities, like Snes9x.

Its important to mention the ROM Information should be properly filled (Give the file name, CRC32, MD5, SHA1, and tell if its for a Header or No Header ROM). Use Gameheader utility to get those.

You could try this version I uploaded, but I just tested and the screenshot feature isn't working 
I think this libpng I used is not the right one.

I'll try to fix it.

The problem is, this hack won't run on just any old emulator.

The rom information section wasn't the problem. It was the screenshots. But it's fine. I don't mind e-mailing it out to people, even if it's a little old-fashioned.

I remember trying to get your SNES9X hack to run a while back, DougRPG, but I could never get it to work on my system. It wouldn't even start up.

Try now. I think that time I only sent you the .exe, but you need the libpng too.
Please check if it's working in your system.

[Tom]

No, it still doesn't work. It wants zlib1.dll.

[Melchior]

I have the src for ZSNES... but the SPC71110 code is written in ASSEMBLER(.asm) 
so... lol the chances of seeing ZSNES updated for this...
is a number approaching zero.... lol  
maybe some day.. pagefault will be notified about this fan translation..
and maybe do a fix for it.. for he next version of ZSNES..
one is in the works.. there just hasn't been any news on it since maybe last year..
I will probably be using Higan from now on... for SNES emu.. since I kinda don't like SNES9x lol
though I will always love ZSNES.. its the FASTEST SNES emu on the planet.. but being mostly writeen in ASM coding it is meh to an extreme lol

If hundred of people's ask for the english patch then it will be a pain to send the e-mail to everybody, why don't you upload the patch to https://mega.nz instead and save yourself the trouble of e-mailing everybody? you guys worked pretty hard for this patch so the extra trouble with the e-mails is not worth it IMHO.

So glad to know the english patch is almost out. I was itching to play an RPG so this game jumped on top on my priority list. Just in case, how many hours of gameplay are we expecting from this game compared to the other Snes gems like Chrono Trigger, Final Fantasy 3, Zelda, Terranigma, etc...?

[Tom]

Well, sending an e-mail to hundreds of people is a lot easier than manually adding thousands of pause tags to the script, ha ha! Only five people have asked for it so far. People aren't exactly clamoring for this game, so I can handle it pretty easily, I think.

In terms of length, it's the standard RPG, thirty to forty hours if you take your time from a "Fresh Start." Seeing EVERYTHING would require loading up the game up at various times throughout the year to see the optional events, but that's not required of the player. It's just for fun. If you're playing through Restart+, you could probably beat it in one sitting, if you're dedicated.

Ok, fair enough =)

Excellent, I plan to fully enjoy this game and take my sweet time exploring the hell out of it. Those extra events even if they are not required for the player they are still important to enjoy the game better. Is like in Chrono Trigger, once you revive Chrono you will have those extra events from the characters which are not necessary but they are extremely important and makes you love Chrono Trigger even more with the character development from those events.

If the events from this game is something like that and adds to the character development then I will definitely finish this game 100% to see everything.

[Tom]

Some of the events have character development. Some are just there to add a little bit of flavor to the world. A lot of the events are tied to Japanese holidays, which might not mean as much to people in other countries, but some are familiar internationally, like your birthday or Christmas.

Gotcha. I have another question, is it safe to use the Save/Load feature from emulators? (not to be confused with the normal SRAM save). I use that feature a lot to keep save states from different parts of a game, will saving and loading in this particular game mess up the clock system?

Bear in mind that I plan to use the Snes9X version from Doug so if he can also answer the question I will appreciate it.

[Tom]

Good news, folks!

DougRPG found an older version of bsnes that has screenshot and video recording capabilities, so I was able to get the screenshots that the system demanded. The submission is in the queue! If it doesn't go through on October 22nd, Japanese time, I will still send the game at midnight to anyone who requests it (or has already requested it) through twitter.

xZabazax: I don't know about SNES9X, but in bsnes, the clock is separate. Loading a save state in the game will not change the clock. However, it will still affect your save files... So if you have saved the game at one point later in the game, then load a save state that was made at an earlier point, the actual save files will go back to how they were back at that earlier point.

So you should still be careful when loading save states.

lol ooh joy the rtc WILL be the BANE of my emu existence!!

Awesome!, glad to know the screenshot issue was sorted out.

Thanks for the heads up on using the save state feature, I'll be careful with it. Can't wait to play this game.

What I have been looking for is actually how to change emulators (SNES9x specifically) mapping for it to work. Is there a repository holding the code so far?

No offense to your efforts, Tom and gang but if you can send me this and the translation I can take those shots.

Hopefully it will also appear on romhacking.net soon, for everyone else.
