I generally like the Doukyuusei remake art but in that particular CG the lack of detail on her sneakers is disappointing. There's something about 2D girls in sneakers that really appeals to me.

Why hasn't anyone bothered to translate the Dokyuusei/Kakyuusei games? Is it a Tokimemo case where they're complicated to hack?

>>8459224
>>8459236
No wonder /vr/ is shit, they can't even discern soul vs soulless.

>>8459339
Cunt that dislocated neck too
And Japanese cunts masturbated to this

>>8459314
There are Chinese and Korean ports.
I guess Doukyuusei/Kakyuusei series are not that popular compared to Tokimemo in the west.
I prefer Doukyuusei series.

>>8459314
Forgot to mention but Doukyuusei Remake is gonna get an official translation.
https://twitter.com/shiravune/status/1365134050269138946

When are the trilogy of Isaku Shuusaku Kisaku gonna get translated?

Now that the previous thread is over, I fulfilled my promise and I get to post this cool remake.

>>8459495
Are you intrested in making a comparison between Doukyuusei games?
Original vs DMM vs Remake like OP's pic?

>band-aid fixed the slowdown of NP21TH with cheat engine and an approximate speedup
>works fine for 2 days
>Textractor now doesn't display the text hook anymore, only a blank one and a gibberish one which doesn't respond to in-game text so is probably just supposed to be gibberish
>hook search gives nothing, clean configs for both NP21 or textractor does nothing
Guess I'm cursed.

>>8459551
I would if I knew nipnip and had enough free time.

>>8460757
Let's get the stupid question out of the way: you didn't forget to attach Textractor to NP21, right?

Without messing with hook searches, do the drop-down menus really give you nothing?

>>8460780
Yeah, They give me hooks, the same as your 2-4. I wish I was just being stupid.
I got it to work by just straight up copying your hookcode as a usercode. I'm 100% sure I didn't manually force it to forget it and even then it should just find it again.
Does yours give a vnreng:Abel: failed in the console at initial hooking?

>>8459015
>DVD-ROM edition of Doukyuusei Remake requires login to DMM account and SoftDenchi DRM bullshit.
Sasuga DMM. I'm glad I didn't preorder the game as I originally planned to.

>>8460787
Sorry anon, I have no such error so you might really be cursed.
Want me to upload my np21th version (which should be the same) just in case?

>>8460806
That specifically should be a textractor issue, but a clean install didn't fix that, so don't bother.
If I just use the same .exe with the manual method it should work if it doesn't just fix itself magically one day. First time in a long while I had such seemingly personal issues, but it's not like this is widely used.

>>8460813
From what I've seen on the dev's github, that error should be caused by attaching to the wrong process.
Yet I don't think you managed to fuck that up.

Lots of cool Elf PC-98 projects are in the works.

- Yu-No (release is imminent)
- Dragon Knight IV (ETA early 2022)
- Dragon Knight I is being re-translated (the retronomicon one was machine-translated + had some bugs preventing animations to display properly) than the translator may work on Dragon Knight II.
- Dokyuusei may get a script port from the remake version.

>>8460852
>- Yu-No (release is imminent)
What's the point when there's already an english translation?

>>8460834
There is only one process for NP21, so that's not possible. Otherwise I'd just check the largest ram footprint, as long as this will be the limit of its finickyness, I'll manage. Otherwise kanjitomo, but I'm not sure how well it will grab some of the more dense kanji. The font seems decent enough.

>>8460870
Play on real hardware or on mobile devices that support retroarch + np2kai core.

>>8460913
Meh, seems pointless to me.

>>8460852
Who is doing the Yu-No hacking? Think we can bother him to do the same thing for Eve Burst Error? There's already an official English translation also from a windows prot.

>>8459495
moeblob should be worth of death penalty
all those unique characters turned into same face kawai =3 shitty designs

>>8459271
Are you seriously complaining about moe in fucking Doukyuusei? The game with characters like Miho and Kurumi in it? Miho's original design is infinitely more of a moeblob than Misa's remake design.
>>8461107
What does moeblob even mean to you people? "Modern design that I don't like"? Those designs are indeed shit but I fail to see how they are moe. If anything the original designs have more moe energy to them.

>>8460852
Speaking of YU-NO, has anybody managed to get it working on linux under wine?
I'd like to play it but it just never starts.

>>8460852
>Dokyuusei may get a script port from the remake version.
Kind of sad that English speakers will probably never see the original Doukyuusei script, only the wonky 1999 rewrite (used in the remake too)
I mean the rewrite isn't garbage when looked at on its own but it's like 75% as good as the original.
Nausicaa vs. Warriors of the Wind kind of thing

>>8461031
That would be me.

I've taken a look at Eve but there are two big obstacles.

First, the game engine is vastly different, and I dot have the knowledge nor the skills to hack it. There have been some attemps in the past, but nothing really concluing. The good news is that it's basically the same engine for Desire and Xenon (and probably some other C's ware games) so if someone manages to write a tool for it, other projects could be easily done.

Second, the existing translation is heavily censored and includes some working designs-tier pop jokes (and a lot of infamous Clinton-related ones). Hence the script would require a proper retranslation. I have some Japanese language knowledge, but it's too limited to tackle a huge script like that with sufficient accuracy. And a MTL-based "re-localisation" is out of the question.

After Yu-No I'll take a break, then work on a more modest project to practice a bit on the language side. I already have a few candidates.

>>8461207
Wait for the PC-98 english version and you'll be able to play it on neko project with wine. The win version is a real bitch to run on most modern oses.

>>8460852
>Yu-No (release is imminent)
>Dragon Knight IV (ETA early 2022)
Really excited for these
>Dragon Knight I
Good to hear that this is getting retranslated, I tried playing it on Neko Project and it froze during the intro

>>8461207

>>8461265
Hope you can finish the project anon.

>>8461265
>the existing translation is heavily censored and includes some working designs-tier pop jokes
Those are honestly the best translations.

>>8461316
I don't remember doing anything special to get it running when I installed it. I have it installed on my default wineprefix which has a lot of libraries installed via winetricks. I'm also using JP locale (LANG=ja_JP.UTF-8), not sure if that matters for this game though.

>>8461297
It's just a question of days now before I release a RC. If you don't mind the occasional typo here and there, it should be fully playable and completable. After extensive testing and the eventual corrections, there will be a final version. It won't be on rhdn. I'll probably host it on archive and advertise it here.

Maybe this is a good place to ask. Does anyone know where I could find the DOS/V version of Doukyuusei or Doukyuusei 2 (or any Elf/Silky's game for that matter)? There's an open source implementation of the AI5V engine called "project ANISE" which I'd like to play around with but the only thing I could find to run on it is an unofficial port of Dragon Knight IV (with no sound) and some Korean/Chinese translations.

>>8461317
Does it count as a translation when you're just making things up.

>>8461332
Man, it is a mystery. I could play most VNs but YUNO simply refuses to work.
Even on a VM its fiddly to say the least.

>>8461338
Guess I'll just wait then, godspeed tlanon

>>8461838

>>8461838
I think the only JRPG for PC-98 that has been amateurishly translated are Harlem Blade (eroge) and Farland Story of Giga/TGL; and EVO (the strange JRPG about evolution, Spore meet a JRPG)

Or should you turn to the versions for other platforms.

You need something to display the Japanese fonts but I heard Dosbox-X is capable of playing PC-98 games so it might be able to display the Japanese fonts.
I used Dosbox + Dosjp.

>>8461348
Why is it so difficult to find DOS/V games?
It's easy to find PC-98 or Chinese port.
Are DOS/V games lost forever?

>>8462065
Nice, it works! Thanks.
Unfortunately this game doesn't seem to be supported in Project ANISE. It was released around the same time as Doukyuusei 2 which IS supported though so maybe it won't be too hard to get it working.

>>8462150
Found NANPA2 JAP in web archive.
It's Korean!

>>8462150
In case you're wondering where I got DOS/V Isaku and Nanpa2 Korean >>8462194, it's from a site called Reycava.
I was feeling nostalgic a few years ago and found it in web archive.
I used to get eroge and hentai manga/doujin from Reycava in early 2000.

>>8462292
>web archive
Most of the links are dead though.

>>8461031
I've looked a bit into hacking the translations of C'sware games, specifically Desire. It's pretty easy to replace text strings in the engine they use, the problem is that even with ascii characters, which are supported, the translation takes up around 20% more space. This becomes a problem because as far as I can tell, the engine only supports scripts of up to 64KB uncompressed, and the jerk who did the scripting for the original games (aka Hiroyuki Kanno) tended to use up almost all the space available, leaving pretty much nothing left for these edits. Which leaves 2 options: reduce the translation's size, or split up the scripts. The latter requires reverse engineering the format, which I've put a little effort into but haven't really made much progress.
...Although now that I look at it, it looks like only 2 files were too large to fit in the engine, so maybe I could just go and clean up some of the dialogue. I'll take a look at Eve: Burst Error right now and see if it would suffer a similar problem.

>>8462452
Looks like it's more easily doable with Eve: Burst Error, since only a few files get close to the size limit. If the translation is still too big I could remove the Lewinsky jokes, that would easily cut the English script size in half.
It's funny because I didn't even realize that this file size limit was a problem while doing my Xenon translation. Somehow my translation is way shorter than these official English translations.

Emulating the PC-98 version can be easier than trying to install the Windows 2000 port in some cases.

>>8463814
Unfortunately, there won't be no voice acting in the PC-98 version, which was patched into the PC fan translation from the Saturn version. And the VA is really, really good, adds a lot to the game

>>8461627
>too childish
She seems like it but there's more going on inside that head of hers

>>8463827
>the VA is really, really good, adds a lot to the game
Nigger I don't understand nipnip, it adds nothing to me except cringe high-pitched sounds.

>>8462452
I ran into the exact problem in Yu-No : some of the bigger script files made the game crash because of a memory overflow error when the text was replaced and therefore extended. The Windows version doesn't have this limitation.
Fortunately, splitting is not that difficult once you understand how these scripts actually work, how they store variables for instance. But again, I already had the tools to do so, otherwise I would never have figured it out.

>>8463827
That's true. And even if someone manages to implement voices, it would not match the script. There are many little differences between the pc-98 version and the saturn version, especially during the epilogue, that TLWiki extensively documented. The incoming pc-98 version is kept "vanilla", without extra scenes or revisions, and so a more than once, the voices wouldn't match what is being said.

>>8463848
Go to youtube, listen to this tittydemon's voice, come back and apologize

>>8463859
Damn, so they had to even change the script to match the voices? What a nightmare that project must have been.
They only thing they didn't manage to patch was a proper scaling mode for fullscreen, otherwise it would literally be perfect. What an insane fanproject

Voice acting is a reason I keep considering the Windows port of Lakers III. They added voicework to that one, in scrunchy 90s wav format audio.

>>8463848

>>8463958
Huh?

>playing eroges with sound
ewwww

>>8464110
>playing eroges with clothes on

>>8463871
Both the additional saturn scenes and script revisions were indeed ported, including some exclusive saturn cg.
What's even more insane is that they documented the original lines and even commented the differences on their wiki. It is indeed an incredible project.

>>8463984

>>8460852
>- Dokyuusei may get a script port from the remake version.

Who is planning this port?

>>8462150
Albeit the same year release, Isaku was made with an engine improved upon the one Doukyuusei 2 was based on, including more instructions, adjusted dictionary structure, and so on. In a sense, it was more close to the later engine used by YU-NO. Project ANISE didn't end up getting there at the time.

>>8461265
Thanks for your hard work anon.

>>8465748
Interesting. You wouldn't happen to know how to at least extract the script files from that game, would you? Presumably they're in the files ISAKU_A, etc. which I assume are archives. They look to be either encrypted or compressed.
In any case I've put "hack on project ANISE" on my list of stuff to maybe eventually get around to someday, now that I actually have an objective to work towards there (I also found "Jack" by Silky's from around the same era, and "Crescent" which should be supported but seems to be bugged).

>>8465802
There's a tool for extracting files from ISAKU_? archives. For translation project, there is another tool that you can use to decompile/compile MES scripts. You may find PC-98 Discord handy for discussing these tools and/or Project ANISE.

I've been playing with the cursed emulator for half an hour now and the speed hasn't slowed down anymore than a slight dip today and I am glad, but also very scared.
Also LoH2 has a boss with ridiculous evasion, high HP and an instant kill move which always hits and can be used twice in a turn when he is on half HP. Poison in those 2 games works as a deathclock though, so you just do that and defend his normal attacks which seems to be the tactic without luck.

>>8466690
Isn't Falcom well-known for their bosses that absolutely wreck you unless you reach a certain level?
You should offer something to please the pc-98 gods.

>>8466757
Maybe. I can't remember having to really think hard about my options in their games, but poison being different throws most people for a loop.
This one seemed a bit too much and the only other run I saw basically just poisoned him too (on SNES I think). I've found a tips page which recommends levels that are a bit too high imo too, but even then brute forcing requires luck. Poison is probably the intended way as otherwise you'll just curbstomp everything for a while and the odds didn't seem that low.
Other bosses seem to hit hard, but aren't that BS and require you to either outheal (which requires items in this game as spells are single charge and only recover out of battle) or outdamage.

>>8466765
How's the LoH series, by the way? I think I only played a psp game for a few hours before the non-stop dialogues angered me enough to drop it.

>>8466770
PSP one was probably a port of the Gagharv games (unless its that spinoff, Nayuta).
Either way, if dialogue heavy RPGs isn't your thing, anything past 2 (still Dragon Slayer) is probably not interesting as it will focus more and more on dialogue and world building. Not that the first two are particularly worthy of note though.
The combat mechanics change heavily, with the first 2 being basic (only interesting bit is the limited usage of spells), 3-5 expanding that with battle maps (AoE relevance, range, etc) and special skills and from sky on having a sort of materia like system which need to be set. If memory serves me right, the Sky games require you to combine quartz to get enough points in elements to get spells. In Cold Rean you just slot spells, stat ups, or combination quarts thereof. Past that I haven't paid much attention.

>>8466792
I see, thanks. I think I'll just give 2 a try for new year's eve.

>>8466804
You'll probably spend your new year's eve talking to people in towns as that's basically everything before chapter 2. Overworld map movement with too many mobs around and towns. Chapter 3 has you going through very samey and labyrinthine underground world. Be sure to set the movement to fast.
I wouldn't recommend it outside of historical curiosity for a series, but I'm not sure if you just enjoy old and relatively grindy JRPGs.

>>8466812
As long as the music is good, I don't mind those rpgs too much. Thanks again for the info, anon.

>>8462570
You've done a Xenon translation anon ? Is it public/avaliable somewhere ?

How can one man be so knowledgeable.

>>8467436
Yes, basically all Elf games from the PC-98 era are compatible.
There are already a few projects ongoing by other translators, the most advanced being Dragon Knight IV.

>>8467814
>Dragon Knight IV.

>>8467958

>>8467000
Wasn't more than a cleaned up machine translation, and I didn't do much more than just the first route. So I guess if you want to play through the first route without the hassle of setting up a translation hook, I could upload it somewhere.

Cursed emulator update. I noticed it got full speed when I specifically had Qbittorent open. I then decided to open another program that uses Qt for its GUI and it had the same effect.
So incase someone has that odd slowdown, open something that uses QT, minimizing should be fine. So weird.

What the hell, anon...

>>8470272
>Serenity... What are you doing in a Japanese game (probably a disgusting porn)? Remember First Epistle to the Corinthians 34.2.

Apart from whatever the hell is wrong with my PC/OS that slows down the emulator (and the textractor unhook), everything else went quite flawless. The only bug I came across was the credits text flickering up and down from its normal position to then rest, but that seems like a normalish bug.
Shame that it doesn't quite get punctuation for the non-mooners, but that at worst means they need to select the text for w/e translation engine they use. Can recommend for kanji farmers and should do the trick for MTLers.

That final boss was just attrition with 2 party members basically being made into heal slaves as they can't deal damage and a 3rd being set to AI and the boss can boost its speed. It had an HP stealing attack and could use the instant death spell (which would just hit) so you had to use a magic bounce spell which means you can't use magic to heal, not that normal healing is that effective in combat in this game either. So it was just spamming items and attacking with your 1 dude.

>>8470294
Nice, thanks. What game are you planning to do next?

>>8470389
I'll see, I skipped over the extra Sorcerians when I played the Sierra DOS version (Roland soundtrack was pretty good) so that is probably next on my emulatable PC98 list. Going to play something else for now though. Thanks for the post about that fork if that was you.

Sorry I was lazy after New Year's. I had neglected writing new line formatting into my tools until now, and didn't want anyone to experience the frustration of having words cut in half. I didn't test it after making this major change of course, so let me know if I broke something.
To make it perfectly clear, this is a poorly cleaned up/interpreted machine translation, pretty much shitpost quality. Take everything with a huge grain of salt, I don't know the smallest bit of Japanese. To release this into the wild is a crime to those with good taste, but for some reason I drunkenly ran my mouth enough to promise I would. I'm sure there's lots of spelling and grammar errors (I did the whole thing in notepad without spellcheck), and a lot of lines that I didn't bother to properly translate and just threw in gibberish. With that made clear, here you go, have fun:

got spam-filtered too a few days ago when i post an anonfiles link.

>>8485997
Yeah it's weird since I've seen other people use the site, maybe it got filtered recently.
If it breaks let me know, adding proper line endings could've messed something up and I didn't do much testing to make sure it worked.
Maybe I'll do Desire since it probably only needs about a day's work to finish since I was able to automate most of the translation. Just looking through the scripts there's a few interesting things I've found, such as bonus post-game character interviews that weren't in any of the re-releases. Also a final monologue that I thought was added to the Saturn version in a cutscene is actually in the PC98 version; I had thought it was original content. It's also funny because the PC98 version translates the game title as "Desire ~Corrupt Spiral~", a translation I haven't seen used elsewhere.

Thanks Anon ! I'll check it out.

It wasn't "snow" three times, it was: "yuki" (snow in JP), "snow" (sunobu), and "gin" (silver in JP).

>>8473441
This is a bit better but still has soulless shading/colors
>>8474407
Seems like he went from generic 2000s design to generic 2010s designs + worse colors

>>8486603
It's the same game and story. The visuals and music are different of course, and there's no cutscenes (although the PC98 opening has a little bit of animation at one point). It doesn't have the tacked on extra ending cutscene the undermines the game's main theme either.
I wrote a quick script that looks through the windows translation and replaces the Japanese with its English equivalent, so it's nearly identical to the windows version with some margin of error for lines that are exactly the same in Japanese but different in English.

>>8486515
Thank you, based anon. I'm jacking in now

>>8486646
Sorry for doubting you, anon.
That retronomicon guy really gave me a bad impression on MTL.
Desire (Windows) was my first NTR game, it felt weird because I was jealous but the female MC's sex scene was so hot compared to the male MC's sex scenes.

>>8486710
Yeah Desire is great, really ahead of its time in its storytelling too.
Don't be so quick to forgive my sins since I did do a machine translation of Xenon, the successor to Desire, that's Retronomicon quality. Lots of rookie mistakes made there, including but not limited to:
>Dropping honorifics, only to discover one character pronounces the main character's honorific as "-sen" rather than "-san"
>Same honorific issue coming up when the MC calls their psychologist boss "sensei" and not sure whether to use "Professor" "Doctor" "Teacher" etc.
>A twist in the game is based off a Kanji pun on a Chinese word
>Two names that have the same pronunciation but one uses katakana and the other kanji
And more but those are the funny ones that come to mind. Bonus points for the intro being a latin quote from Virgil, used by Freud, then translated to Japanese with the Japanese version being slightly different in meaning from the original. I'm still debating in my head whether the writer was simply using a different version or were responding to the original.

>>8486742
>Desire is great
Didn't remember much about its story.
Played it in late 90s or early 2000s and I think I fast forwarded half in the male MC story.
Fast forwarded the entire female MC.
Did fast forward just to complete the CGs.
I should replay it someday.
>machine translation of Xenon
At least you're honest.
Do you know Japanese or Chinese?

>>8486861
Nah all I know is English. And I'm hardly competent even in that, I think the language portion of my brain is retarded.

Myself, I've got the images in the original .oz2 files and I just convert them into bmp and go from there.

This is neat. What software are you using anon ? And does it supports bmp to oz2 conversion ?

>>8491352
I just change the file extension. This is for the Windows port of Lakers 3, mind. Lakers 1&2 stored the image data as bmp.

I did a playthrough of AmbivalenZ a while back. I would've preferred more grotesque monsters as the artist, Orion, does seem to like that stuff, but he gets held back in that regard as he is drawing for porn games. Male duendy are like this, but female ones are basically elves.
Nero (42538.jpg) is the soul of a great sinner of the same name fused with various elements from the city.
Most others look like weird oni or slightly worse interpretations of regular enemies and there aren't that many.
Thanks for reading my blog. Here's a different one, I'll post a female one as well as I have the files anyway.

>>8493438
Most have names based on mythology, this one is one of the few "good" ones as in they don't try to kill you.
Most of the other PC98 stuff I have played is pretty tame in monster design though and this game really isn't that far out either. Not stuff like >>8492948

>>8492690
Decent game. Managed to get it working with Retroarch and playing with a controller. I like the control scheme and how you can run and stuff.

>>8493438
Anon do you want a physical copy of that game? I have one laying around in my house I can give away

>>8493640
No thanks anon. I already have a copy with CD audio

>>8493438
I, like most people haven't really played a lot of these games, I'm just interested in the pretty little gay pixels. But I do have a pretty huge folder full of these pictures that I collect regularly. I'm gonna go through it and try to find some monster designs, but it is as you said, most of the stuff is just titty content.

Innocent Tour sure is a treat for the eyes. The UI, cards and terrain have to share the same 16 color palette, which makes it even more impressive.

I prefer the PC-2022

I hate this remake artist. I hate that dude, fuck him. He did that to Langrisser, to Yu-no...
Fuck that bitch

Now let's continue with the monsters

That's one sexually confused character...

>>8496774
More info? IIRC from the game if you attack their girlfriend the dragon knights are summoned and wreck your shit.

>>8459495
it's almost like this new artist was specifically given the job of making the style look bland. as if he just had to extract all the soul of it on purpose.
I fucking hate it. I don't think i've ever felt this disgusted towards a remake before.

>>8496917
Alicesoft had a spin-off BL brand in the early 2000s, but it didn't do too well (to be expected desu). 2 games were RPGs, so they turned some girl monsters into boy monsters for those. His girlfriend in that is his boyfriend.

>>8496945
Thank you, anon. That was most informative.

Better get to texthooking. last time I had to use a translator to help me I used textractor with google and Jdeppl with romaji and I still mostly used the romaji if I couldn't read it. It should help you understand most things though.

Also I don't know much about the homo games, but the ouji-sama games are lacking in buttfucking if that is what you are after. The first one requires and 18+ expansion disc and the other had like one scene at the end of a playthrough (could be more different scenes available). I don't know how fujos get off to gayge.

What are the differences of Power Dolls 1 between PC and PC98 versions? Also how come the remake versions looks as if its vaporwave?

Is the release for PC-98 true? I watched a video of the Doom port and and it had some slowdowns. It's hard to imagine that PC98's hardware would handle SysShock then. I couldn't find any footage or pics of this version.

where is the kakyuusei remake negros ?

>>8503415
Not before Doukyuusei 2 Remake.

>>8503425
and how likely is that to happen?
i am stuck on kakyuusei emulation because the emulator cant properly load disc 2 so i am unable to finish it, and im too lazy to restart it all on pc

>>8503430
>to happen
Don't know.
I just hope that Doukyuusei Remake got enough love to warrant the sequels' remake.
>load disc 2
What's your problem?
PC98 usually asks your a certain disk (Disk #x or Data Disk or something else) in a certain drive (A: or B:) when it can't find files it's going to read.

>>8503052
>It's hard to imagine that PC98's hardware would handle SysShock then.
That depends on the CPU. Why would a Pentium handle the game on an IBM compatible but not on a PC-9821?
