When you make one Jovan, we'll have one.

What is a Jovan?

>>7136523
kek, that's the first time I've seen someone else than an economics professor use Google sites for anything, especially that kind of stuff. Endearing stuff.

>>7136472
Why / how would you want to hack it?

>>7137649
A common slavic name

>>7136472
Too much work. Beam Software made it so the only way you could play it in Japan is with the English text and the Japanese text being shown at the same time.

This is an incredible coincidence because I happen to be working on one at the moment. I'm not sure when I'll be done, but /vr/ will be the first to know.

I think it'd be easier to rip the assets and make your own version (and I don't mean that shitty remake mod)

I don't understand why people don't do that for the Mega CD Shadowrun instead of trying to hack an already broken game.

>>7138996
Mega CD rom hacks are very rare.

Are you talking about the remake on Dragonfall engine? Impressive work but still pretty bad experience desu, should have just been a campaign with the plot from SNES game instead of poor gameplay emulation.

>>7139982
Is that a reason to do it?
The game shouldn't be that complicated to recreate aside from the FMV hacking. Most of it is command selection and multiple choice, Dungeons and combat are top down and the Shadowrun rules are well known.

Not a hack, but someone made an emulator script for Shadowrun that gives it mouse controls in SNES 9XRR. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iMCH3osL8bw

>UPDATE: There is not a version of the script compatible with the German language version of the game:

People have tried for years.

>>7141870
To remake the game? All I can find is stupid attempts to hack it.

>>7141878
To hack it.

>>7137752
To add improvements.

>>7138382
Godspeed.

>>7138382
Neat. Are you able to share any details? Intended goals? Will it be just the base game with expanded areas or an entirely new campaign using the same assets?

I'm a really big fan of the SNES game engine but there's only so many times you can play the game to completion before you get tired of talking to the same NPCs / exploring the same maps.

>>7145784
Did you ever play the SNES game with any of its translations?

>>7146618
No, just had the NA copy back in the day.
Heard other versions had some... minor differences, though.

>>7137649
Ok

>>7139993
Not with Mouse

>>7138382
That's fucking cool to hear, I've always wanted more of the game.

iirc there is a mod that lets you actually buy the body armor that is never for sale in the secret weapons shop

Other than that, nothing I've heard. It sure was a kickass game, though. I'd love to play a re-enactment of Johnny Mnemonic or something.

OK Computer.
