An N64 rpg AND Fighter hybrid? Why did they never translate this?

I had a conversation with him just now

>It is complete for the most part. Just doing some final adjustments. We are going to do a limited edition run of actual cartridges that will work on the n64 to benefit charity. If you would like one let me know and I'll put your name down for one.

Is there an option for just a translation patch?

>Eventually yes

I see. Well, how much do you plan on selling the cartridge for?

>Probably $75 ish, somewhere around there.

So it's mostly complete and eventually you'll be able to find it online no prob I'm guessing.

Thanks I appreciate it.

I figured since you already had a dialog open it would be easier.

I get annoyed with humble bundle only giving money to child's play and shit like that. Like it's cool to give kids something to do while they're in the hospital, but there are kids dying elsewhere. I'd rather use my money to save a life than stave boredom.

>> No.4058317

Making money with translations is a red line.
Fan translations have always existed on the basis that they are free work and all the rights belong to the original creators.
Repro dealers selling fan translations was always a terrible thing but fan translators cooperating with them and giving them exclusive access is a new dimension.
If this isn't stopped soon, others will follow suit and free fan translations will disappear forever.

Yeah I'm in the same boat. If that's what it takes to get the translation I'm happy.

S'all good. I know that gamers often don't consider things outside of their interests.
I'll just wait for the translation to release/get dumped and play it on my everdrive

>> No.4058368

someone will dump the roms. This gives people an option to support fan translations . If anything it will encourage more people to do fan translations

This is not a 70$ game but charity is charity, I guess.

Custom Robo is fun but I think a franchise it's a bit over-rated. I beat Custom Robo 1 but couldn't beat Custom Robo 2 out of boredom. First game is still worth playing though.

I wouldn't be surprised if they'll never translate anything again if the game is dumped early on.
Fan translators are fickle.

its always remarkable to me how early 3d games would come up with their own unique style but still manage to hearken back to a retro aesthetic.

The soft pallet and simple geometry feels like how an 80s gamer would imagine a 3d game

but by your previous logic, he would only be selling translations , so still nothing lost ?

I personally would rather they sell it so people can support them, and others can pirate - like a normal free market instead of this commie sharing culture going on in the fan translation community

>> No.4058968

>>4058957
It's always piracy since the right owners don't get anything.

>he would only be selling translations , so still nothing lost ?
They said they'll eventually release a patch. And even if they only sold them, would you rather have no translations than translations for money?

yes I would rather there be a translation and the translation be sold, but that isn't going to stop people from dumping the rom

>>4059001
are the original developers really making money on it anymore though? Enough to warrant a law suit. I guess that would be the deciding factor
