The opening theme of this game really stuck with me.

But there's something REAL familiar about the title theme of the PC Engine version:

The archive included xdelta3.exe so you could just click an included batch file and get it done without fiddling. I can understand not wanting every file upload to include redundant or potentially harmful executables but if the rule is unwritten and there's Saturn patches requiring specific versions of specific patching tools then this is just gay power tripping.

Can't the translator simply submit another version without the exe?

I'll try it when the patched version pops up.
These games always attracted me, even if they end up being nothing special. I played the PC98 version of 2 in moonrunes even if I didn't understand shit just because I was curious.

That is one of the actually good rules to have, if only there was an actual standard of RHDN retards telling people the purpose of each patcher. Online patchers are all shit that make oversized IPS and BPS patches, Floating IPS makes the smallest of both, and adding batch files is redundant when you could just tell people to use Delta Patcher or something else. The amount of people including a ReadMe with patching instructions and yet another copy of LunarIPS is insane.

No. David Shadoff has been in the PCE scene for over two decades. He has nothing to gain and everything to lose by pulling such hypothetical stunts.

>> No.10367885

>Machine-translated

Professional translators have been using for YEARS, for all the recent "controversies" over AI, they had been doing it long before everyone else. And it's not such a bad thing as long as the translator doesn't call it "done" at that point, which they don't: it's a crutch, the machine does the bulk of the grunt work and the translator re-reads everything and does what matters.

>> No.10368075

LIST OF NOTABLE PC-ENGINE GAMES THAT REMAIN UNTRANSLATED:

-Tengai Makyou: Ziria

-Xak I & II (original MSX2 versions translated)
