/vr/ - Retro Games

I hope that someday this finally gets translated.

Segagaga will be translated by 2020, right? Right?

>>2156240
Sure, right after Majin Tensei 2!

>>2156228
There just needs to be someone with the drive to finish it, is all.

Id love someone to work on the Battle Angel game myself

I heard someone had a script done but that was a while ago

>>2156295
It's usually hacking into the game itself that causes the hold up. At least judging from observation.

>>2156228
I'm as mad/sad as you are. Time to learn moon.

Speaking of Moon, translation when? What about the other INCREDIBLE games from Lovedelic and related companies?

I need it

>>2157217
>Speaking of Moon, translation when?

Soon.

>>2157217
>Speaking of Moon, translation when?
You just had to remind me, you fuck.

The first game by Alpha Dream, who would later do the mario & luigi RPG games.

>>2157245
Same developer, and the predecessor to superstar saga.

>>2157249
I looked up gameplay for this.
Looks amusing.

>>2157249
Where's Percy?

>>2157276
Here, boss.

>>2156240
This is one of the few things I would ever support a Kickstarter for.

>>2156235
me too, this looks really nice

>>2157237
/djt/ user here, I'm using this one as a vocabulary pool where from I extract lots of words and expressions used within context.

Comfy as fuck, though you don't get to do too much apparently. At least in this first one.

>>2157237
Comfiest artwork ever.

Ihatovo Monogatari when?

Gokinjo Boukentai

Wonder Trek

Id love it if someone went back in and translated the full version of Rival Schools 2 (Nekketsu Seishun Nikki 2)

My all time fighting game ever and it rather hurts that Ill never play the full thing

boku wa chiisai

>>2157596
At first I thought you meant Kaiju Monogatari, then I was quite surprised by the actual game.
>>2157629
I'm surprised that the staff doesn't seem to have shit to do with Chibi Robo, which came out later.

>>2157615

Fuck, I love this game. I've actually tried cracking it open to text dump it, but my hackings kills are trash. If someone can nab all of the text for me, I'd be down to translate it, actually.

>>2159561
I don't know how it works but you could see if someone can help here: http://www.romhacking.net/helpads/

Actually sent a message over to Kingmike, since Google-sensei says he's been hanging onto the script for a while and sent it to one translator that vanished off the face of the Earth.

Gonna wait for a response.

The thing with the classifieds on the site is that you have to have already done some work on the game or have some sort of proof of concept down before the ad will be approved. I went through that when I started translating another game and needed some help with getting the rest of the scripts.

>>2160228
good luck to you!

>>2156228

i heard some people saying that this would be a pain to translate because it uses a lot of japanese wordplay and the like

is it true?

>>2160671
Yes. But to be honest, a lot of Japanese games have that. They fucking love wordplay and puns.

>>2160683

>>2160683

This. A lot of extra time in translating anything goes into trying to preserve the original intent along with the original pun. Sometimes it works, and sometimes it just doesn't.

Replaying the Japanese versions of some games I grew up playing as a kid, it's actually pretty commendable some of the things localizers come up with. Very often, depending on resources like time/skill of the programmers on staff, these guys also had to deal with things like word space (limits varying from 30-60 characters per line and there being zero ways to bypass that. The Wii release of Muramasa suffered from some of this, and the production time was much shorter than the ideal, so I really feel for the guys that localized the game the first time, only to get socially reprimanded for the localization feelings bland or scare or whatever it is people have said.

>>2160243

Back! I got a response, and since he hasn't heard back from the previous translator, he's letting me look at the scripts, which I just received.

I'll be starting a new game sometime tonight. Just have some outside work to do beforehand.

>>2161710
Nice! Good to hear. If you could actually translate it that'd be amazing. It looks like such a deserving game.

>>2156330
Yeah, especially since one game could handle text a certain way but the next one could be completely different. You'd also have to figure out any additional hacking that needs to be done like improving text limit as well as support for a different font if needed.

>>2157245
I hate playing old Japanese GB games because when everything is Kana it's harder to read than if it uses Kanji.

Anyone played the original Medarot?

>>2161710
How's this going?

I have the PSP version and have beaten the game without knowing Moonperson. I kinda want to see this in english.

Guys, c'mon. There's already a thread:

>>2164721
There are rumors that Gaijinworks new Mystery JRPG localization is actually Fourth Apocalypse.

>>2164753
>already
This thread was first, if you really want to be a bitch about it.

>>2164814
This guessing game is killing me. I wish he'd just let us know what it is.
