/vr/ - Retro Games

wasn't it funny when that guy came here being all "hey i heard somewhere else that chu teng was found" and then everyone was like "duhhh it was found on here"

>good times

I'm pretty sure all conversation about these games have been exhausted. Just let it die. There doesn't HAVE to always be a chu teng thread. It's okay if there isn't

>>943058

Thats an ad to buy the game.

chuteng english translation?

>>943001
There was a copy up for auction for 55k yen, but it looks like it's since ended.

Could anyone explain to me what the gameplay in Garage is? The trailer wasn't very helpful...

http://page16.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/u52119507

hey /vr/, your beloved chuteng just sold for 47500 YEN.

>>943549
I assume it's a point and click adventure. It seemed like that to me, anyway.

I would love to play that someday. Since this thread is here, what's the news on Chu Teng's English patch?

>>939913
It might not be a bad idea to keep track of "lost" games in one way or another. Games we know exist but can't find, leads and relevant information, maybe keep track of auctions so we might be able to pool resources, etc.

>>943663
Some guy in pastebin, with username ghwoih32we, did a couple of builds with some of the mapbits translated. But some days ago he deleted it.

I'm doing my own translations in my wiki easternmind.wikia.com, but my japanese is bad and I have a life, so I will finish it by the time hl3 is released.

>>943639

47500 yen = 483$ = 364€

>>943695

the translation has moved closed circuit cause money has been put into thorough translation of source. it will be put towards a youtube channel which has been gathering other materials to specialise in under appreciated and obscures.. so youll see the game on youtube when its done. public release is being mulled over.

im helping in this, i built the pastebin and howtos and got just the right attention

>>943732
That's kind of shitty. /vr/ was there every step of the way to help but we don't even get a translation?

>>943742

theyve had a copy for a while.

>>943742

theyve had a hard copy for a while.

>>943751

Only a couple weeks. Mother 3 Fan Translation lasted 2 years.

>>943732
>public release is being mulled over
That's fucking bullshit, I don't want to see the game from a shitty youtube video. I don't like this, my freedoms are being hindered.

>>943775

lol, your freedoms.

>>943770
no the guys doing it have had a copy for nearly a year.. im sure itll be ok for everyone tho its pretty neat

>>943793
If they have had a copy for that long what took it so long to hit /vr/?

>>943839
late to the party

Newcomer here, I fucking loved the artstyle of Garage. Can anyone give me a rundown of the information gathered on it, what it's even about or anything like that ? Maybe some videos ?

You guys should be searching this to dump it

>>939908

Believe it or not I'm not a newfag, but is that actually true?

>>943732
Mulled over? Jesus, that's terrible. I'm glad that it's being translated to be shown in some way, but I think having a player experience it personally rather than watching somebody else do it is an important part of, hell, any game.

Not publicly releasing the translation (and in fact, profiting off the translation through youtube views) kind of strikes me as a move made by someone more motivated by personal gain than making the game available to others.

>>945709
You pay for it and put the work in and see how generous you are.

>>945679
it's just a pirated metal slug

>>945679
It's already been dumped. Apart from a modified intro, it's just Metal Slug. I'd pay out the ass for a CIB copy like that, though.

>>945679

scans of manual plox?

>>947131
Is the rom posted anywhere? It's still listed on the bootleg wiki's undumped list.

http://bootleggames.wikia.com/wiki/List_of_Undumped_Games

>>943732
So the Chu-Teng translation is being done privately now? Any idea how to get in on that? I'm a Japanese minor at uni and I was already helping with the translation in the first thread that went up for Chu-Teng but I missed the next few because of being busy with life.

>>945679
What always confuses me about this is that there is no Metal Slug for Gameboy Color, only Neo-Geo Pocket Color

So what, is it a port of Metal Slug from the Pocket Color?

>>946139
Yeah, I'd put it on the internet for free if I had a copy of the game and then I'd put the patch on the internet for free too if I had the resources to make a translation, like countless others have done before and continue to do. Why would anyone consider translating something only to share it through youtube videos? Might as well do a screenshot translation.

>>943732

Chu-Ten is being translated? Swell.

Frankly, I'm okay with it being done closed circuit by other people, our group effort thing really wasn't going anywhere. All that we really got done was inserting my shitty and probably wrong item names into the game.

>public release being mulled over

What in clumsy fuck is the point of translating this game and then not doing anything with it?

But yeah, like. Where do I keep up with this and how do I know you're not totally full of utter shit?

>>948515
I say screw getting in on the private shit and get some /vr/ guys together to do it publicly. There have got to be some posters here that can work the tech angle.

>>948805
they made the fucking translation private? wow, fuck them.

>>943732
>the translation has moved closed circuit cause money has been put into thorough translation of source
What?

>>945639
Shit, nigger, unrelated seperate lines, no http,mother fuckign spoiler tag, were you trying to make it unclickable on purpose or something?

>>948823
Yes I was. Why spoil such a weird and unique game for yourself?

Someone should make a wiki for garage already since there is a full playthrough on nicovideo.

>>948515

Thanks anime

>>949596

>>946139
Fuck you the whole reason you put money into it is to translate it for distribution. There is literally zero reason why you fucks should keep it private other than smug "look how cool I am e-fame"

Fuck you.

>>951759

>>943732
is there any precedence for withholding fan-translations for money, outside of funding to complete the job itself? I mean shit, you're asking for payment for a product that isn't actually yours and has no legal relationship to you, in a setting where fan-translations for games are handed out freely, constantly.

>>945692
Yes, /vr/ found a lost game. Meanwhile, /v/ is discussing femboys for the 10000th time.

>>952316
>Yes, /vr/ found a lost game. Meanwhile, /v/ is discussing femboys for the 10000th time.
didn't even do anything some guy just wanders in and realizes he had it in his attic the whole time don't think you're so special /vr/ we'll have the last laugh yet hahahaha

>>952310
>>943732
afaik paying for fan-translations is pretty darn illegal, why aren't they being sued?

>>952328
For one thing, they haven't sold anything yet. For another, I doubt anyone relevant to the suing process gives a shit. I just want to know if there's any precedent in the fan-translation communities for this, because it seems pretty unusual and almost, in a way, unethical.

>>952327

Nobody knew about it before then?

>>952335
Well, fingers crossed they'll release it eventually.

>>952345
knew about what, the game? people have been searching for years, /vr/ found it by pure coincidence after what, 2 general's on the subject?

>>952353

I come here all the time, I can't believe I missed all that drama. We famous now I guess.

>>952367
oh, do people know that /vr/ was the one that found it. I don't think /vr/ got much, if any, publicity on it. Links to the download itself just got posted around on numerous sites with little more information than the game simply being found.

>>948813
Who is this 'they'?

>>953229
this unknown group currently said to be developing a fan-translation of chu-teng, as stated by an anon claiming to be a part of the group.

>>952353
It was more like 4 generals

>>953238
inb4 illuminati
So basically we don't know who

>>953238

We are more associated with /b/ than /vr/. Or the internet really.

money is going towards payment of a good job in translating the text.. It would suit well with other material and maybe in 4 years the ad clicks will pay it off, but we are more curious than anything to play it in engrish. Probably haul ass on the jewtubes for a month and release the files to someone with a legitimate copy..

Going over what has been done this game is jacked up to high heaven on philosophy and all this deep talk of light and darkness all the time, from other pieces being slopped together it will be a very polished english job, prob about 15hours of work and over 3weeks for translating the text..

We happen to actually have this game but have the windows version. The windows version is encrypted and you cant edit the director files, unlike the mac version which doesnt have any of it, so be lucky the copy that was available was mac.

Unpolished translation of the end of game text.


1 NANSHU, HIKARI never alive without YAMI.
I was called by the downtrodden people.
And then, It changed me to the biggest SHIKKOKU-KUKAN.
I got big power from the confused energy.
Even If I disappear, someone will call me again.
And it will give me the power again...

2 RIN, can you hear my voice?
SHIKKOKU-KUKAN was disappeared.
And I will also disappear....
RIN, what is the good? what is the bad?
CHUHEI became YAMI, and I became HIKARI.
Inspite of opposite objects,
we were the one before the birth.
CHUHEI heared the voice of CHUTENG,
and took an effort to make them YAMI.
For me,
Did I heared any voices?
What I did?
I didn't recognized about the persecution in CHUTENG.
I didn't see anything.
I didn't hear anything.

Nobody knows the future of CHUTENG.
it should be entrusted to the "NATURAL FLOW"
which SU-GAME ZOKU mentioned.

RIN, your power saved me from YAMI.
I always encouraged by your brave heart.
this world will continue forever.
we would surely meet again at somewhere.
Good bye for now...

>>953543

YAMI means darkness.
HIKARI is brightness, i think.

all caps lock is yet to be translated due to context confusion, including grammar introducting.

>>953543

And all engrish to be made into polished educated english.

>>953540

I don't believe a goddamn word of this. It all sounds like utter bullshit.

Show some proof.

>>953543
Hikari is Light.
Yami is The Darkness.
Shikkoku-Kukan (漆黒空間) is the Deep Black/Pitch Black/Black Void, where Chuihei comes from.
Su-Game Zoku is the Suugame Clan. I'm not sure if someone has seen the 4 guys of the Suugame Clan. I'll try to translate their description in the chutenban.
I'm not sure how "Natural Flow" fits in there. 流れ means flow or stream. In a metaphorical way, it means what a student learn from his masters.

>>953540
>paying money for the translation of a very niche game
>hoping to make the money back with YouTube ads
Unless the translator is getting paid some abysmally small amount I really don't think you're going to break even. These days people get like $4-7 per thousand ad views on YouTube, which often translates to 1,500+ actual views because of people using adblock, etc.. (Source: friends of mine doing YouTube as their living) Knowing that Japanese-English translators can easilly charge $50-100+ per page of text and this is the entirety of a text-heavy game... yeah good luck. You realize this could have been done for free if you got bilingual Japanese-English 4channers to do the work, right?

>>954895
they're obviously trying to get intelligent people translating the game though.

>>954895

Let me ask you a question: Do you even believe he's not a troll?

>>954909
Japanese-English translation is a lot easier and simpler than English-Japanese translation. Anyone with an intermediate understanding of Japanese grammar can just look up what individual words mean and do the same job for free. The main problem here is that they're not going to allow any distribution of their translated version and seem to want to make money off of it. Besides, knowing foreign languages is a matter of educatedness not intelligence.

>>954937
Have a hunch? Yes. Outright believe? Not particularly.

>>954954
Well, fuck those guys. I'm not paying for something that should have been free at first place.

Hopefully we get some better translators that aren't such greedy bastards.

>>954954
but this is obviously not a game that will just require a simple word-swap. The translator will need to first understand what ideas the game is trying to get out and the symbolism used in relation to japanese culture, and then adapt that symbolism to be understood by those of a western audience while still maintaining the overall ideas that the game is trying to depict. It's not going to be anything like a FF translation, it'll be more akin to that of a book translation. Which will require a pretty decent amount of intelligence, which 4channers are likely not going to bring to the table.
Keep in mind, I disagree with the whole charging thing. I'm just trying to explain that it won't be as simple as you're making it out to be.

>>954976
I guess you're right when you put it like that.

>>954976
In a word: localization.

>>939872
got source for the pic on the right?

http://www.phantomcastle.it/forum/index.php?/topic/12259-abandonware-chu-teng/

translate...

>>955078
the problem with the term 'localization' is that it's completely different for video games and anime than it is for books and, sometimes, film. If you were to simply say localization for video games it'd really just imply exactly what the guy was thinking how translation would go.

>>955276
tomorrow i post all my "garage" stuff, noi i dont have my hardisk..

>>955331
Google Translate gives the gist of it:

Chu-Teng is a continuation of the unforgettable ultra rare to say the least EasternMind by Osamu Sato (best known for his work in music and for the ps1 game LSD dream emulator)

The game was released in about 1996, and unfortunately was never released in Japan contributing to its rarity not ever appearing on the internet even by accident, no gameplay videos, almost no ingame screen, only a few images of the cover. How EasternMind came out for both Windows and Mac 3.1.

From about 3 weeks in the section on 4chan / vr / dadicata retrogame, we discussed a lot about Osamu Sato and his works by scanning even his books on computer design. Speaking of Chu-Teng had come to the conclusion that it was gone forever because it has even managed to contact Osamu Sato but unfortunately he said he do not even have a physical copy of the game, then took a collector contacts with Japanese who refused to rip the game with the excuse of tougher laws on copyright in Japan (which did not happen since it would help to save a game that at the end of the fair is abbandonware).

On the third thread in three weeks of discussions came an anonymous saying that he was sure to have the game somewhere in the attic, not knowing of its rarity and to give him some time to find it. Of course almost everyone thought he was lying until he posted the images of the unique cd and cover ... By accepting the request to rip the game asked for a week's time because he had a lot of work going on, so after 6 days of images tribute to Osamu Sato trying to keep the thread alive, today Thursday July 4, the anonymous kept his word and has upped the game, and one day more than the already famous epic imageboard and all over the web!

>>955417
FUCKING WOW.

Is there an iso available for the Japanese version at least?

Also, are there any other games with an atmosphere/vibe/art style similar to Garage that /vr/ would recommend?

The game ITSELF isnt being done for money gain, its just going towards a bigger project and the money going into it will hope to be made back vicariously through youtube, but the main objective being playing this in english.

And for legal reasons we wont release it publicly, unless someone with proof of owning the game has it and requests the patch, evidence will be shown to show we do have a legit copy and are editing a backup.

>>955674
Ah, so we just have to wait for someone with a legit copy to receive and distribute the patch.

>>955674
>legal reasons
There's no reason you specifically need to distribute and the act of making the patch itself is in no way illegal. You could just post the link to a mediafire or whatever here, and it'll follow through and that'll be that
Who the hell is going to defend the game's legal rights anyways, the game barely even exists

>>955674
While that may seem understandable if it was a regular game(key word here), it's practically unobtainable to the point where no reasonable human being would expect someone to have it.

>>956076
What about ethics? I dunno i like how that Mr Snrub thinks

>>956076
>>955674
Hell doesn't even Mr. Sato barely care about it anymore? I'll donate my testes to a transvestite if someone were to sue. It's not going to happen.

>>955674
Can you give any proof that this translation is being done by your group?

>>955674
You guys are fucking idiots who have obviously never translated anything before and your "project" won't go anywhere.

Can someone explain what's going on here? Some group is charging for a translation of Chu Teng or what?

>>956175
Some group is paying money for a professional translation of the game it seems. This is after /vr/'s translation effort stagnated.

>>956175
As I understand it, there is a private group doing a closed translation. They mean to release a public patch, but they can't legally do that until one of us gaijins can produce a real copy of Chu Teng and request a translation. Until then, they will be posting youtube videos of their work in hopes of making some of the money back.

Is that basically the gist, guy who's involved with the project?

>>956186

K peeps before creep back until this comes up from the woods..

Its been picked up for a fan translation with good resources, from there will be apart of a youtube channel which is going to be dedicated to all kinds of obscurities.. It will run there for like a month and open doors to release the patch version of the game to someone who shows evidence of owning it, for legal and ethical principles.. pretty much.

>>955504

Thank you.

>>956186

>They mean to release a public patch, but they can't legally do that until one of us gaijins can produce a real copy of Chu Teng

This makes no sense and is total bullshit. Releasing a fan translation of a game this old and forgotten would garner absolutely fuck-all attention from legal people.

Nothing about this translation plan makes any kind of fucking sense. A game like this is not going to garner enough attention to make any sort of money via YouTube ads, it just doesn't add up.

I call total bullshit on this being a real thing someone is doing, it's either a troll or someone is fucking delusional as all hell.

It's not being made in the first place.

Whatever plan that "team" had fails on literally every single point and there is no way any human being with the slightest semblance of a brain could think that it would work at any stage.

Can we just assume the guy was completely bullshitting (because he absolutely fucking is) and get back to actually trying to translate this ourselves? I mean, our translating efforts sorta withered on the vine but there's got to be somebody out there willing to do it.

>>960769
yeah.
Anyway, as long as we have the eastern mind wikia, and the constant japanese to english dialogue translations, we are fine, right?

>>960787

>eastern mind wikia

There's not nearly enough on that for a translation effort.

>>958631
If money is involved, there is a difference. If this had been entirely an open project in people's spare time, I don't think it would be an issue, but since this now has a paper trail, they need to do it by the book to protect themselves and any investors.

Again. They aren't trying to charge money for the translation. They just can't use other people's money to openly distribute something that in reality is only making someone's intellectual property more desirable to pirates, whether or not it was realistically ever going to be officially distributed again. At least until someone has proof of owning a real copy and wanting a translation so that, if it were to come up in court, there is evidence to support that there is a legitimate purpose for a patch to a game whose claim to fame is that NOBODY OWNS IT.

That MacRumors thread concerned the collector who refused to rip the game due to copyright laws, as described further up in the Italian text. The polite and generous /vr/ anon who did post a copy didn't come along until June 28, just like it says.

>>964840

Fish dont fry in the kitchen

>>964039
For a beta, I could see how respect could play a factor. A master of their work only wants to show the world the finished products, not all the things leading up to it.
But for a full fledged game now rendered impossible to find by time, it's not a matter of respect. We're not talking about a sword, we're talking about a book. The point of its creation wasn't so that the single instance would exist in its perfection, it was so that all who found themselves upon the product would, at the very least, intake the information. This isn't respect for the author, this is forcing 'collector' value on someone who probably doesn't even keep a version of his product for the sake of collection. I mean fuck, specifically for this game the head creator didn't have any knowledge of its physical or digital existence and probably didn't take any significant measures to find, obtain or keep the thing. He probably built the game for the sake of building the game, and couldn't care less whether or not it was even played. It's far more likely it was this than any sort of bullshit about him only wanting people who put a nonsensical amount of effort into obtaining the game to be able to play, especially given that the apparent themes have nothing to do with the commercial aspects of the game's building process.
Because this can be cloned with no loss to the quality of the individual work, there is almost no reason to claim that this is an issue of 'respect, or that it is even respectful.

>>964886
>He probably built the game for the sake of building the game, and couldn't care less whether or not it was even played.
Well the guy ran a development company. You don't make things purely for fun—you make things to keep your company afloat and make a profit.

Also what's up with the sage if you're contributing to the discussion? Just curious

>>965083
I was talking about his personal values, that he needed to make a profit was just an additional layer applied on top due to circumstance but likely had little influence on the game's core design (that the game was sold in such an obtuse manner and on such a unique topic with a unique structure and style, at least in the realm of video games, shows this as well.) suda51 is an example of the same kind of thinking, building games mostly because he's actually interested in the art of building games. I suppose, the "auteur" game director is what I'm talking about, and maybe romanticizing.
Gaider would be an example of the opposite, building games because he's interested in the profit and potential fame. Although, I suppose, he might actually be interested in the act of building games but simply lacks the intelligence or knowledge to go about it in any other manner.
as for saging, I do it as a general thing at this point and I started it mostly to undermine the act of saging as well as tripcodes (in a vaguely humorous manner, although I suppose only funny to someone who knew the intentions behind the constant saging). It also ends up causing confusion and disarray in certain threads, which I also find amusing. I started doing it back when saging was constantly being called out as 'downvoting' and other such nonsense like a year back or so. That idea has died down though so now it's somewhat pointless now but it remains a habit I have no reason of breaking

>>965173

It isnt a need for profit. it was an incentive of putting money in to guideline what was happening with the time+money being put into it..

quoting for honesty and not for a "oh sick lets all click dat ads" but in the few months to come itll surface up on the jewtube and rest assured a copy will surface with the workings of a legitimate owner to leak it if he chooses so, but wont come from us

>>965173
To think someone would throw a couple of hundred bucks and throw in a few dozen hours just to appease some angry nerds on an image forum is pretty sly. Its not the only thing to be put up.. all available work of osamu sato will be exonerated as much as possible, not to mention dreamcast, 3do, jaguar and other gems for mostly, fun.

>>965173
We arent talking about the same thing.
Still good.

So is eastern island in English and if so, how can I play it?

>>965287
...You mean Eastern Mind?
Yeah it was professionally translated and released in 1995 or something. I think it requires dosbox or something. I don't know.

>>965312
Wow I'm sleepy. But yes, I meant Eastern Mind.

>>965224
>>965231
wait what i'm confused now
those last two posts I did were just about the idea that not putting betas and rare games online was a respectful act, and I was just saying that with video games and similar mediums, and even more so for chu-teng due to how it was sold, not hosting the game online has nothing to do with respect because the thing isn't built to be played by a few 'collectors'. You're not honoring the author's values, you're just forcing your own values on him.
Nothing I was saying there had anything to do with this current translation thing putting money into the translation and trying to get some money out of it, that's an entirely different mess of ideas and values but I doubt any of it has to do with some misinformed idea of respect for sato

>>966286
other than respect in that you want a proper translator so it can be as close an experience as we can possibly get to what sato intended

>>966286
I dont think you read the thread properly but beggars cant be choosers and hopefully sometime youll be able to play the game in proper english

>>961403

You guys actually made any progress or are you just kinda ditzing about like everyone else ITT?

>>967220
I'm pretty sure I did read it properly, these posts
>>964886
>>965173
were just in reference to the one single idea that withholding rare/beta games from being posted online -in general- was a matter of respect. Directly in response to >>964039 I was assuming he was saying
>I know some japanese people who won't even post prototypes of unreleased gaems because of this shit. How else are people supposed to get 'em?
was a matter of respect, anyways.

I was never trying to argue about the translators of chu-teng withholding being an issue of respect because it clearly isn't. They've given us their reasons for not freely giving the translations and it has nothing to do with any misinformed idea of respect for sato's work. (However, that they're trying to purchase a high-quality translation is an act of respect, and a proper act of respect at that)

>>967243

>(However, that they're trying to purchase a high-quality translation is an act of respect

They're not doing anything. There's been no proof provided, they have nothing to show for it and their plan is fucking retarded.

Stop perpetuating this like it's truth because there is no reason to believe it's true and many reasons to believe the guy is full of shit.

>>967264
I'm just talking on the assumption that it is true, and if it were this is what it'd be. It's not like I'm announcing elsewhere that this is what's occurring, or telling anyone who asks that this is what's occurring or making any other actions on the basis that this is occurring other than saying what I think about it if it were to be what is occurring. I didn't actually think it'd be necessary to precede everything with a 'If the anon is telling the truth' when referring to him, because I figured the doubt would remain a constant. And anyways, I wasn't even trying to talk about this possibly imaginary translation in the first place, I was just talking about respect being a reason for withholding games
But I guess I'll rewrite it anyways
With the assumption that the paid translation is happening, I was never trying to argue about these translators of chu-teng withholding being an issue of respect because it clearly isn't. They've given us their reasons (or rather, what their reasons would be if it is in fact what is going on) for not freely giving the translations and it has nothing to do with any misinformed idea of respect for sato's work. (However, that they're trying to purchase a high-quality translation is an act of respect, and a proper act of respect at that. Assuming that they are trying to purchase a high quality translation.)

>>967278

>writing this many words to say "I was wrote that under the assumption he was telling the truth but I don't actually think that he is"

You are not very good at being succinct.

>>967286
I wasn't trying to be concise with that post, I was actually doing the exact opposite. Repeatedly reusing words to make the sentences seem more aggressive and forceful, and then in the second section, repeatedly restating the perceived requirement to make it appear nonsensical and overly-enforced.

You shouldnt try to sound educated if youre not.

>>967301

Are you satisfied with such sage?

>>967682
why would I be satisfied by the saging

>>967658
u shoudnt tell pepole what too do on th internet

Moving on, I've seeded like 20 gigs of Chew10 and I haven't even played it myself. Is there something wrong with me?

Sorted from a collection, noticed fiasco on the internet. I guess its a keeper.

what about this guy? The book is like between A4 and A3 its huge and shows all the letters with a little blurb, limited to 1000 prints.

Also got equal brand new.

you jelly?

>>970727
there was a copy of this on a japanese auction site very recently, asking for 3000 yen, but I don't think anyone bid on it.

>>970751

I don't suppose you have the Roly-Poly games, do you?

>>970810

No roly poly games, theyre kids games but interested as much as you.

I got this book brand new too, any good?

>>970814

>>970816
hold on, I recognize this. I can't remember what forum, but I've seen a sealed copy of this book posted under a "what is your rarest video game" thread. if you are who I think you are, you also have a VGA graded LSD, don't you?

>>970826

wtf are you talking about

>>970835
kind of disappointing that it was graded. how do you feel about VGA grading?

also I'm really jealous this is really impressive stuff

>>970839

Well yeah VGA is a big of a spooge, but they check for any flaws and put it in a nice case.
I lost 15 of their super special VGA points cause of 2 dints in the cellophane. And verified it to not be fake, which was good.

>>970845
do you have any other cool shit you want to show? this seems like all stuff that came from someone who worked at OSD for several years, considering the condition and the variety.

Hey guys, didn't wanna create a separate thread for this... I was wondering if there was some easy way to get the thing outlined in red, and how much less valuable it is to not have the things outlined in blue.

>>970853

the transmigration artwork is pretty awesome.
folds out to this.

I also have eastern mind and a promotional vinyl of equal coming, sure to show some nerd jizz.

Think im gonna put this in a vault and wait for osamu to die, or kill him myself, and sell it.

>>970861
buy any other CIB gameboy game I guess and swap the inlay. I don't think most collectors care much about the non-manual stuff, but I can't say for sure

>>970879

>>970879
the equal promo record is seriously crazy. I can't believe you own that, holy shit. do you know where you got this stuff from?

>>970885

I just ran my nose around the internet hard once i scored LSD really. Found some hiveminds, got some luck, some real prison break situations of stupid unrealistic luck, and kept trying to knock out his whole catalogue. I just started with wanting a copy of LSD... Going to keep for prosperity for a long time..

>>970893
god damn that is lucky. this collection is incredible. if you're aiming for a full collection of sato's stuff, best of luck finding the Roly-Poly games! he also had a "Compu Movie" and one other art book.

>>970909

Compu Movie is on the 2nd disk that comes with transmigration. Ill upload a video capture of it

oh, would it happen to just be PROMO.MOV?

>>970927
so what sato things are you missing? as far as I can tell it's only Alphabetical Animals, Compu Design, The Esoteric Retina, and maybe the other PS1 games, unless of course you have more things from your collection you haven't shown.

>>970969
and the Roly-Poly games*

>>970969

the PS games were easy..

Missing alphabetical animals and roly poly, aand esoteric retina. do my best.

The artwork in this game is fucking weird and depraved. Hell, it's probably morally and psychologically offensive to most sane individuals. Yet, there's something appealing about it. Something interesting almost. Some terrible, gruesome since of uniqueness accompanies it.

>>971103

I'm getting a Junji Itoi vibe from Garage for some reason.

>>971062
Feels kinda HR Giger-ish

>>971119

well, both do a lot of body mutilation so that makes sense. Although, garage is more technologically based distortion and mutation while itoi generally takes human disgust and puts it on display

>>971135

it might just be me but i am kinda wanting the translation to be done by one person (similar to how tong-nou was translated) to ensure linguistic consistency in the translation.

so, if there is any one person here who is fluent at japanese at native level, just, let them do it, please.

>>971012
anon...do...do you own a copy of garage?

>>973037
that's a picture from an auction

another thing i noticed..... a lot of people were talking about this video on sato's youtube

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=__aPXz2PxCA

And presumed it was to do with chu-teng. but now that we know this isn't the case, and there has been talk on some japanese websites of there being a third game, perhaps this is proof? the video title certainly fits the theme (TONG-NOU, CHU-TENG, XIA-CHE), and the client is listed as sony music entertainment, so, i dunno. maybe i'm on to something, maybe not. just kinda hoping there's more sato stuff to do with this series.

>>973449
very good chance that it was just ideas/prototype shit that never saw use. Not much point in exploring the idea, if this potential game didn't come close enough to release that its never been referenced. Sato does a lot of work with that style of music and art as well

>>973461
shrug. maybe. if sato ever touches the internet again someone should ask him about it though.

>>945639
I know the interest isn't in the gameplay, but this looks absolutely abysmal.

>>973449

This one surely never actually got made, there's no Xia-Che on OSD's company record. Is there?

>>975897
There's not. I'm guessing it was just a concept. I'm curious as to what the kanji for Xia-Che would have been though.

Hey guys, script for chu teng has been translated. Going over refined points then made into proper english.

Going to release an unlisted walkthrough of the game in english for you guys to enjoy, as this effort wouldnt have been realistic without you guys..

Eventually under a legal parameter the files will be made for all. Expect vidyas in about a month.

>>978875

Yeah give me a bit

On the subject of obscure games does anyone have/can upload the korean 1996 game Mutant DNA? There's tons of sprite rips of the game available on the net but the only link to the actual game itself is on an old HG101 forum post that was hosted on Megaupload but since MU kinda died the game seems to have been lost now unfortunately.

>>978957
win or dos?
I'll keep my eyes out for it.

>>978957

It's hard to say why the authors don't release most of these titles. They either lost them or want to forget because of how shoddy some of them are. Your only hope may be to ask derboo about it since he wrote a great deal of the HG101 Korean section

if it weren't for derboo i wouldn't have been able to order this movie and upload it. http://blog.hardcoregaming101.net/2010/05/korean-week-street-fighter-animated.html

>>978992

It's kinda similar to another korean fighting title, The Eye of Typhoon, in that it's a better spiritual followup to an older crappy title, and in that both were destined to end up in obscurity.

Ninjas trained in Judo and Aikido have eyes on all the spots for the roly polys, can only hope can fill in that last pothole.

>>980204
i hate to sound like an asshole but this translation seems unpolished - is it going to be thoroughly checked through in those 4-6 weeks?

>>980239

wtf do you know about Work?

>>980253
thanks for answering my question

>>980260

Its just started muchacho.

>>980261
that was all you needed to say. thank you.

>>980265

>>980239

The translation is entirely finished, they just stated that the 4-6 weeks is pretty much meant for cleaning it all up, since inserting text into this game is dead simple.

So, yes. Read posts better.

someserious circlejerking going on round here.

why anyone would want to contribute to a collection of asshats like this is beyond me.

>4-6 weeks on Chu-Teng being done between three people
Read posts better? That's almost outright unintelligible.
>4-6 weeks in, Chu-Teng is being done between three people
>in 4-6 weeks Chu-Teng will be done between three people
>4-6 weeks from now Chu-Teng will be done between three people
>it will be 4-6 weeks on Chu-Teng being done between three people
It sounds more like three people have been working on Chu-Teng for 4-6 weeks from how he worded it. There are a million more intelligible ways that could have been said.

Hey Guys I Just Found This Game Chu Teng In My Garage Is It Any Good?

>>982641

No, But Would You Like To Watch TV On Your PC?

>>982674
FUCK man

Why is it that Chu-Teng threads devolve unto shitposting lately?

>>982302
he pusted up earlier in the thread that it was finished and was being worked on for errors and whatnot. i didn't read up that far

Alright guys.
In all of this endless sage, Chu Teng (Mid-Heaven) is being well pushed forward into a really nice localisation. A legal thwart is to be put in with the release of the patch files after a stint in exhibiting it on a developing channel.

As a thanks for /vr/ balling this together the chuteng ban (mid heaven disc) will be posted here in a series of jpegs. Explains the whole story, character descriptions, item purpose.

Dont know when the rest will be completed, its a bit of work but its been pretty fun to be apart of.

Can probably expect these images in about 2 weeks hopefully.

>>979184
what is that?

>>982886
music

>>982763
needless drama

>>982870
all you need to do is just complete all of the translation, polish it all, and patch it into the game and upload the patched .dmg

Well here's a download page for Mutant DNA, courtesy of a korean blog.

Let shift to play as P1. Right shift to play as P2.

>controls
[A] = [left shift]
[B] = [z]
[C] = [left ctrl]
[D] = [left alt]

[A] = [/]
[B] = [left shift]
[C] = [left alt]
[D] = [left ctrl]

idk if these can be changed since I'm not versed enough in MS-DOS games, but I hope they can because having such controls makes combos inexecutable on my old PC due to hotkeys and screen rotations and whatnot.

>movement
Left, right, up, down.
You can adjust further movement controls in the in-game options.

Before starting the game there's this retarded color code thingy in which you have to enter codes in color boxes from a special passcode page, but eh it's passable.

The game seems to unfortunately crash whenever Darkmater fights, which is a damn shame because you can't play Darkmater freely and can't continue the scenario mode pass the first stage because Darkmater will always be your second opponent. So I hope someone still has the HG101/alexgizh version and will be willing to reupload it, unless the Korean blog version IS the alexgizh version, in which case sadfrog.jpg.

But overall yeah it's an pretty awesome and underrated game, definitely worth a shot.

>>982302

Except the screenshots posted and the entire fucking post suggest the translation's been finished already and the 4-6 weeks are simply there for general editing and making it read smoother in Engilsh.

Read posts better.

Are you using DOSBox? Playing it on DOSBox Wii solved my problem with this game

/vr/ is a magical place where conflict doesn't exist

>>984081

It's apparently a magical place where reading comprehension doesn't exist either.

>>984089
well all I can really say is just ignore the trolls then. if someone can't read that's their own issue.

>>983949
I don't know what happened but re-downloading DOSbox seems to have fixed the Darkmater problem for me, so that's given.

>>984112
That fixed it? Odd. We're you using an older version before you redownloaded it?

Also did you ever mess around with the DOSBox configuration document? They say going in there and setting the amount of cycles can improve things but I kept everything on auto.

core=auto
cputype=auto
cycles=auto
cycleup=10
cycledown=20

huh

so uh, what does Tong Nou even mean?

>>985807
It's a name, doesn't really have any meaning.

>>985807
in japanese it translates to eastern mind; thus the international name

chu-teng means midheaven, or zenith

so its
Eastern Mind: The Lost Souls of Eastern Minds?

>>985959
technically, though the japanese title was just "Tong Nou"

>>985843
Actually since Tong Nou is written with kanji in Japanese (東脳 (とんのう)), its name does carry meaning. Unless 脳 means more than the just dictionary definition I was taught, Tong Nou literally means East(ern) Brain. 東 = lit. "east"; 脳 = lit. "brain". However, Eastern Mind sounds cooler than Eastern Brain in English so that's what we got.

I think in some japanese jumbo its Tong Nou as a proper name, with the meaning of Eastern Mind. Makes more sense, otherwise the title "easternmind lost souls of tong nou" doesnt really make sense much

Dude I have no idea

here you go
http://pastebin.com/G34V3UXv

half polished, half rough english translation of the chuteng ban / mid heaven disc. this alone is like half the text.

Theres a lot of photochopping and testing into this mofo, will see it done when its done

>>986035
mid heaven is just chu-teng, i'd assume

>>986047
correct

>>986057
i also believe the 'diamond' in diamond planet is just magatama, as in tong nou. looking very forward to seeing this when it's all done and polished.

i've read the tong-nou book and i'd say i was fairly knowledgeable on the subject of the tong-nou mythology and terminology and whatnot, so if you need someone like that you can ask me :p

>>986068

magatama translate into jewel, thought diamond was appropriate.. Going to translate as much as possible into english and keep consistency with Tong Nou as much as possible.

I have a guide for all caps lock words there and will need a final pass over all the text either way, will dump all the chutengban info up here as it comes

>>986086
i've got all of the tong-nou illustrated book as well as most of the plot-specific ingame text saved as a .txt file if you want me to pastebin that shit or something. just wanna help out with the translation is all, if you need a reference of some kind.

>>986141

Hells yes pls

>>986162
ok. will do it as soon as i get home. at work right now

>>986162
http://pastebin.com/k4Zbc7uM

here it is... i think that should be most of the stuff. i am not sure why i included the plot stuff from eastern mind, but since it might come in handy i put it there too. most of the mythological stuff is in the book, though, and if there's anything else you are concerned about, i can probably help you. cheers!

>>986338

Great has some proper name spelling and other aggregation thanks anon

>>986361
my pleasure. will be glad to play the translated chu-teng once it's posted here. you are doing everyone a great service. godspeed, you glorious bastard

>>986371
:p
lot of the time will go into the text being aligned cause its sensitive as, so might take time to do that but when its time to release it itll hit here.

>>986420
awesome. looking forward to it :D

>>986427

>>986035

Splendid work, anon. You're doing god's work.

any weeabo able to recognise this word?

Fell through the translation sheet, its _官.

Got 7-Flamen not entirely sure wtf that is

>>988048
This is what I can make of it with my extremely limited japanese and google translate

7人の神官や女官た

7 people [possesion particle] shinto priests [some particle] Maid of honor?

Might be something like.

The priest sent 7 men and the maid of honor

>>988094
It might actually be the 7 men of the priest and [female official]

女官 = female official/officer.

>>988110

I got that one, first translation was court lady, but was told Female Minister was closer.

>>988094
Thats the kanji, awesome.

for reference.. this is the script for the piece

TSUKI-2 137 Sufiku was the smartest Meditating Giant, and was placed in the centre of the Moon Palace.
Yuiin made a cavity inside the Sufiku's brain.
The 7-FLAMEN and the Female Minister lives in this space.
The light beholders of the Moon Palace had the desire to take over the Sun Palace.

I like this game

>>988094

7 priests works with JIN no 神官. The fuck is a FLAMEN.

maybe i should know better english before hand.

fffffff
