>Stardom Warriors is the Woolsey Fan Company’s second localization. It attempts to recreate what an official release would have looked like back in the day of the Nintendo Entertainment System.
>Nintendo of America would have likely run into copyright issues with the celebrities featured within the game, so they were omitted. Several changes were made to accommodate this. The celebrity inserts would have held no meaning for a majority of the American audience anyway.
>The WFC also mostly adhered to NoA’s content policies, so localization changes were made. This ensures that, had Stardom Warriors actually been released officially, it would’ve gotten an “E for Everyone” rating.

This sounds as bad as that re-translation of Phantasy Star IV that made it as if Working Designs localized it.

Holy shit I gotta see this.

Enough literacy to use the internet isn't the same as sufficient literacy to understand a plot-heavy game. I can use Japanese language consoles, but I prefer not to play without an English subtitle because I know English better lol

Guessing the era of hyper autists hording "dibs" on translation projects and stopping people from just putting their own stuff out without the approval of the forum cabal has come to an end.

>some autistic obscure garbage gets its fifth retranslation
>meanwhile this remains untranslated

https://www.romhacking.net/forum/index.php?topic=29838.msg387655#new

Meanwhile Go Go Ackman 3 got a preliminary translation, but the romhacker is asking for the help of a more competent translator. He included a full script. Any /vr/ non-EOP stepping up to the task to right this wrong?

>>6113554
... he included enough to rebuild the patch with a better translation. If anyone is interested even i could do the reinsertion (just Atlas)

>>6113163
RHDN is used as a secondary file mirror by lots of foreign teams (except CJK translation patches, they don't care) because their websites go down a lot. Even RHDN is born from the ashes of one such website. Same reason why many English translators don't just self-host really.

"Download file" and "LunarIPS" are machine translation friendly for browser users.

>>6113231
So they made a fan translation bad on purpose as a joke?

Literally every ESL shitter here can make a working Tiny Toons NES translation patch for their native language this afternoon and have it published on RHDN. It's a low effort patch for low effort people.

I don't have high hopes for this translation if they can't even get the title right.

>>6113549
Man, don't remind me. I just want to play Cornet's daughter's adventures! :(
I remember that a few years ago some dude basically translated it but no one wanted to step in and hack the game.

>>6113136

Great translations.
Blows my mind how many pointless "hacks" people make, like the castlevania portrait of ruin darkness mod. What....

>>6113837
idk the whole massive underground community hiding in plain sight thing is pretty clever

Same thing was done with Touhou and Sengoku Rance, called 4kids translations. They're hilarious.

Does the spanish patched game work in real hardware?

>>6113784
Your dad must have given you a gay lick

>>6115830
You can't fault gemini after all what happened.

With 6 months passing without updates, his translator launched a kotaku controversy on his ass, and releases all her files. Basically: I need another romhacker. Turns out he WAS actively working on it before and during this, and recorded livestreams.
Other "translations" that replace lines with numbers from the script popped up.

Enough people pestered him in private so he got fed up and open sourced it. Someone announces he's continuing the project, but isn't very skilled, and basically asks Gemini to help him compile it in a topic that's a barrage of him disrapaging him for dooming the project. Against all odds, he gives the needed information to that person.

He immediately compiles the unplayable mess and releases that as something like "Mizzurna Falls English Patch v1.0" Gemini discovers the joys of open source development and has a change of heart, so he reports the patch twice, and announces a successor who offered a convincing pitch to solve the specific programming bugs the game still had, and gave him those sources plus further work still done after that drama. He was approached by another one (known) and gave him those too.

Enter ResetEra (fan translation hate boner) and cj iwakura (involved with vaporware Eternal Punishment PSP, Gemini did Innocent Sin PS1, i smell bad blood behind the scenes somehow) who loves to enter other projects and "lead" them on social media. He reuploads the patch out of spite, and announces plans to continue it, and disrapages Gemini and the first unknown successor as incompetent, and that "v1.0" romhacker found a way to fix all bugs.

The Spanish patch, and the initial English patches weren't at fault technically - one could argue they used Gemini's extracted text, but the spanish dev work was 100% original.

Aeon Genesis dropped SMT:if and complained to Kotaku for far less.
Compare this to 3 individuals attacking him in public THEN requesting help.

wtf ain't nobody got time for that.

Now it does v1.1 corrected the problem!
and now it works on real hardware
also on PSIO!

>>6115830
Any chance of the english translation-patch getting some love?

>>6113549
Just learn moon anon.
Even if it gets translated you know it's going to be hackjob.

>>6116416
>Turns out he WAS actively working on it
>Enough people pestered him in private
These two i'll lay on him because the retard translator clearly didn't get much response from him on it's status and post-controversy he was being really unclear if he was still going to finish it or not giving mixed signals like it was going out of style.
Everything else is retarded idiots trying to fuck it all up though. (and I say that as someone who utterly loathes RHDN's "forum faggots get to decide which patches get on the site" moderation)

>>6118737
>RHDN's "forum faggots get to decide which patches get on the site" moderation
wait, what?

>>6120558
The site is cliquey and will block patches to stay on the good side of fags like Gideon.
Well deserved in this case though since it's Gemini's actual code.

How is Arle's game?

>>6121236
cj iwakura was alleging that RHDN was blocking the Spanish version from being accepted because it was based on Gemini's work.

>>6121393
(Note: I don't believe it actually used the code)

>>6121393
The source is the Spanish translator. He has since sorted it out with the moderators and the patch is up and approved. He only used eve's script ... extracted by gemini, but if it's a problem the spanish translator can just point out he did extract the text on his own. After all the translation wouldn't be finished otherwise.

Here are the differences laid out:
>Japanese: use BIOS font
>Gemini English: use custom proportional font, created by Gemini
>starplayer/cj_iwakura English competitor #1: use Gemini's font, as they are based on his open sources
>English competitor #2 by french/russian/spanish translators: use BIOS font and unmodified JP game, and eve's translation. Before source release. Never finished, and interest dropped like a rock after source release.
>Spanish: based on English competitor #2. Released.

What do you know, the spanish translator didn't stop work on that "inferior" version, and as a result he got shit done. Ain't that swell?

cj_iwakua would better take a few notes from this and work from the original japanese version, implement his own fonts and everything, and sidestep the use of a copyrighted source code (no license at release) from a guy they're actively antagonizing while wanting to use his work, then surprised he gets back at them. Maybe then will the project ever release. All the drama is really harming the project.

PS: Who the hell goes to Kotaku to save a fan project? Their entire coverage of fan projects is all sinking them with DCMAs then milking the drama, and they admit they do it on purpose. They "reach out to companies for comment" and include real names even for unconsenting subjects for fucks sake. They nudged Square-Enix repeatedly about Final Fantasy Type-0 until they SUED the main programmer, and then to justify his "comeuppance" they dig up team drama to assassinate his character further. All of that because he snubbed their interview.

>>6121961
So the Spanish translation is based on an English translation and not the original?

>>6121961
>They nudged Square-Enix repeatedly about Final Fantasy Type-0 until they SUED the main programmer,
KOTAKUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!

Bravo to the guys that did sakura taisen. More translations of games that AREN'T waifu sim/manga licenses/ghideon zi's endless robot wars garbage are what we need.
>>6113231
That's a fucking baffling trend that's popped up lately. Those cunts have done 2 translations in the style of 1980s Nintendo of America localizations where they butcher the script, change everything and censor the fuck out of it.
What fucking clown world are these people living in?
With that and the new trend of "re-localizations" where the teams don't know any japanese and they just make shit up (see recent ff6 and phantasy star iv patches), the rom hacking community needs a bullet in the head.

>>6123575

this is legitimately the single stupidest fucking sentence currently up on four channel dot org. do you know what sakura taisen is?

I'm so happy lads. Thank you based romhacking community.

>>6123575
I will take relocalizations over the main translation project getting infected by editors like cj_iwakura and resetera guys whose only job is to butcher perfectly translated scripts by someone more competent.

>when the obsolete manga you used to read as a kid had multiple titles released in japan for the ps1, dreamcast and ps2
Fuck. I would actually pay someone hundreds of dollars to do even a barebones machine translation of the text to english just so I could play these awful games. Love hina had like 3, and Negima had over 5.
