Ninpen Manmaru is a 3D platform game for the Sega Saturn. It was made by Enix and Tam Tam. It is based on the manga made by Mikio Igarashi (Gangan Comics) . There is also some animation.

What has been done so far -

• Located the text for all story sequences.
• Worked out how to use all English fonts in 16×16 format.
• Worked out the pointer including the timing system.
• Done a test version to make sure all runs well, it does. But no screen shots to show yet, i don’t have any screen capture device nor digital camera.
• Got a translator Simon Fang. If you want to talk with him, send him an email [email protected]
• Translation finished.
• Worked out the correct way to hack it, made it even easier.
• Finished hacking and made a beta version. I will release a public version once the game has been tested.
• Released a P.I.Y. based on the beta version of the hack.
