Why have there been so many PS1 fan translations lately? It seems like the pace has picked up tremendously, has there been some breakthrough in the tooling involved or something like that?
All the major titles with western interest have been fan translated long ago so it's been interesting seeing people get into the weeds with weird shit like Project Laika and this. How soon til people start translating sound novels or mahjong games?

All of this shit is just a grift. Let me guess, the "team" behind this have a patreon page.

Well, I opened it to check, and I was met with this absolute gem of a line. "Even Japanese players have complained that the kanji is too tiny to read inside of the book, so no skin off anyone's nose, desu."

On reading something like this, you've got to go and look at it, right? And even in a dogshit youtube video with fucked up scaling, it's totally legible, what a shock. Guess their OCR just wasn't up to scratch for this very difficult project.

I mean once in a while someone actually might put up how they hacked shit, but who the fuck has ever retranslated something that has a garbage translation with that? Even SNES games with a billion different script romhacks are just random EOP edits. Manga doesn't require any significant technology to put out a scanlation or even much commitment just to do a chapter but garbage MTL releases are almost never replaced by something competent unless the series is licensed because the impetus to replace a bad translation is much lower than to translate something new.

What is the point of doing fan translations for bad games? Between this and all the NES JRPG slop that not even the Japanese give a shit about getting translated, I have to wonder why bother? Certainly if you had the ability to translate a game, you'd pick one, realize it was shit and not translate it. Fan translations are for EOP's and they don't know that any of these games exist enough to ask anyone to translate them. Meanwhile, it took official PC ports to get the other Rhapsody games translated, same with Romancing Saga 2 and 3, no one is porting the Dragon Quest 4 DS translation to the superior PSX version and Princess Crown is a never ever along with Brandish 3. And then there's a pile of SMT games as well.

One thing I learned from any romhacking thing is that you never ever release any preview of the things you are working until you have the thing finished. Not even cease and desist letters can do anything at that point.
I'm making a sequel, for SNES, of a series I love on SNES [not DKC, btw] and people will only know about it when I release it, if I ever finish it. There is also another game I'm learning 3D because I wanted to make a 3D remake of it [I'm both learning 3D modeling and 3D graphics programming since I want to roll my own 3D engine] but that game will take so long I may die before I even make it. Both games are from big devs and I know that both of them hate fangames so I'm not retard enough to post any image of those games before I release it.

Why anon, why is it apparently so bad? Is it because you suck at word games. Because from what I've played there's nothing wrong with it.

The game won't let you progress unless you solve each puzzle perfectly. It shouldn't matter how many moves it takes me to figure it out, perfect scores should be optional for tryhards, I'm literally just trying to come to grips with a type of puzzle I've never encountered before and the game expects perfection from tutorial puzzle #1. If the tutorial expects perfection and I can achieve that, then I wouldn't need a tutorial.

So I hit select and it shows me exactly what to do for the first 3 puzzles and I follow it, but then TUTORIAL puzzle #4 is 10 steps to get a perfect score and I can't remember all the steps it tells me, so I deleted the game and I'm not going back. Basically, shit's too complicated and confusing to just pick up and play, so it's not worth bothering with unless you already are a die hard puzzle game player.
