The game also seems to have quite a number of voice clips... if incredible compressed, and I wonder how well even Japanese people can understand what they're saying, in order to fit the cartridge limits.

Hey there everyone, a teeny tiny update from me.

While working on Crayon Shin-chan for the Game Gear, I got a PM from Guyver regarding Sherlock Holmes, because he noticed that the most vital clue in the game was wrong! Filler missed a zero, I noticed it, but somehow I put the original translation in the game. So, we both messed up a little there. So anyway, I've submitted version 1.1 to the database, because we agreed that a new version is required here. After reading this thread again, I also noticed that I'd made two minor errors... but I'd forgotten about them, and I'm not resubmitting it.

So, that's all for now, just a very minor fix. Once I finish on Shin-chan, I really ought to finish off Zoids as well - I'd made good progress there...

BTW: If we're resurrecting this thread, I'll mention that I took a serious swing at translating Mezase Pachi Pro Pachio-kun just a little while ago. I managed to translate more of the script than I thought I would, though I wouldn't say it's more than 50% done. Looking up pachinko terms was even kind of interesting. There's surprisingly little English language information out there about it. I'd like to play the game for a bit more context, so expect the project to be set back a few years. Still, that may be one more script from that time period translated at some point.

I have my rom dump but haven't been able to find a translator for Haja no Fuuin. So at this point, I consider my translation project dead, unless someone knows who I can turn to.

Hey guys, I just wanted to bump my old thread because Stardust Crusaders have released a translation of Dead Zone for the FDS, which was the second part of this project. So to keep things clear, I've added the early FDS list to the first post in the thread, alongside the Famicom cartridge list.

That's all! I wish I could say something about Zoids, but I haven't even looked at it for a year and a half, and I just don't have the energy right now to get on with anything else. Let's hope this doesn't last forever.

I've been meaning to work on Tsuppari Oozumou for years now. Project folder's definitely been collecting dust. I haven't really done any work on it except for ask FlashPV to do the title screen which now says "Sumo Clash". I think I was torn on how to handle all the 16x16 sumo wrestler names. IIRC, they were all puns and even converting the font to 8x16 didn't give me a whole lot of room to work with. Plus, a lot of screens/text need to be hacked to be horizontal instead of vertical. A lot of work for such a small game, but I think eventually I'll get around to it.

What did the existing partial translation patch call it?
Was it just Sumo Wrestling?
I suppose calling it Tecmo Sumo (Wrestling) would be period-appropriate. (I mean, they even used that naming pattern for an arcade beat-em-up called Wild Fang/Tecmo Knight!)

I personally call it "Slap, Strike, Fight!" since the Wii game was localized as "Eat, Fat, Fight!" https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/wii/959424-eat-fat-fight/images

1985 is now fully cleared, as Choujikuu Yousai: Macross has a title screen translation.
