Megami Tensei 1 and 2 for the Famicom. The soundtrack to them is amazing and I really wanna play the games but the group translating it have not released any info in years.

How hard is it to create a translation patch for a ROM? There's a couple of games I'd like to take a crack at translating but if it's too technical I'll probably just not bother.

Ace Combat 3. Not the shitty downgraded version we got in the West.

>> No.658203

>>658175
It's like programming in assembly. Of course this assumes you don't use an editor. The tricky thing is remaining within the constraints of the game. For example, Shining Force 2 uses a bit of a fancy text compression method that limits what you can do.

>> No.658238

>>658203
I'm pretty sure you can just increase the size of ROM and fit whatever you want.

>> No.659658

>>658238
You can, but when you start messing with the number of characters in a message you have to start manipulating pointers. Adds a lot of work.

Any JRPG for a CD based console.


Luckily I have a friend that knows how to make reproduction carts, so he can make me Star Ocean and Tales of Phantasia for the SNES once I get the money for the original carts... but fuck, The Saturn has some cool looking JP games that I can only play by burning them to a disc.


Also, The Tingle games for the DS.

>> No.660486

Not a game really, but I wish the US had those pocket stations. It's been forever since I played FF8 but the completionist in me dies whenever I see one. I know it's basically for one summon, but having a pocket Chocobo would still be neat.

Madou Monogatari for the Saturn.

If I'd be willing to bother to swim through 900 kanji, I'd have the script dumped by now - after that translation, script re-inserting, and recompression is needed. The last two could be tricky as the script files also include stuff like positioning and jump points, and all files in the game use a custom compression (for which there is an open source decompressor, but no compressor).

Shining force 3 scenario 2&3 on Saturn.
I own and played the 3 of them numerous times, and it's definitly my favorite tactical RPG (and i'm a huge fan of that genre).
The 1st scenario was translated, but 2&3 only in jap....
The games are still amazing, but knowing that you're missing the plot is annoying as hell, especially since from playing scenario 1 ou know that the story is awesome.

Also, Samurai Shodown RPG (Neo.Geo CD)
I played the shit out of this game (the only good cd exclu, with Brikinger of course... ), luckily I'm french so I'll oo be able to play it with emulator, but I would have liked to play the real thing in english on my Neo-cd...

I'd be interested in this,too. Although I have a slightly warped view of the franchise due to being introduced to it through one of those "Corrupt" series where someone intentionally glitches up a game with hilarious results.

From what I've seen 2's great, but 3... not so much.

>> No.661571

2 is great indeed, 3 is a little more complex and kinda confusing and 4 is a comeback to the roots with some new stuff, but sadly it isnt connected to the other games even though it is in the same school used in Tokimemo 1.

>> No.661765

That's awesome, I never play emulators, or isos, I never even used a patch, i'm really bad at all that stuff.
I usually only play on actual systems with real games, but for Shining Force I would definitly make an exception and try to understand how that shit works...
