Playing the April Fools Hack9 edit "Real" reminded me of things, and so I stumbled across this:

Yes, there was an attempt to translate Hack9 actually quite a while ago. I had all of the text translated and the hacking part was almost done too, but the guy who was supposed to hack the game just called it quits for vague reasons. Mostly it was just the area names that weren't working properly iirc.

If someone's interested in finishing/redoing the hacking part, I wouldn't mind sharing the translated text (csv file).
Though looking by the progress in that thread, that someone else might already have it all translated too. I don't really care whose translations will be used, as I'm not too proud of mine either, but do note that the text length and byte size limitations can and will be a pain in the ass. Unless someone comes up with a workaround for those, of course.

But yes, it would definitely be cool to have these games translated, especially Hacker9 in all of it's horrifying glory, and Ghost94 because it's actually surprisingly good. I'm not very fond of Hack9 (Ghost92 is the better version), but it was logical to go for it first.
