• Shows Lunar IPS truncate extension (CHS).
• Shows data (in a hex view) written by a patch record.
• Shows total size of all modified data.

IPS Peek is currently in beta, so any feedback or suggestions are welcome.

Have you ever heard of SGST (Some Good Shit Translations)? They were one of the early romhacking groups formed in the late nineties by various people such as EsperKnight, TheFreak, Tom, Higgs and Darien. Back in the day they announced several translations including Megami Tensei for the Famicom and have been working on it for over a decade. So this is not really a translation announcement for those who can recall The Scene history.

We are writing here today to tell you that all major hurdles regarding hacking were cleared some time ago and that a release was planned for the Christmas/New Years holiday season, but we missed that release window. So now we have a virtually complete translation, but you can’t play it. We’ve decided to wait until the game’s next anniversary as we feel a game of this magnitude deserves a special release to coincide with its historical significance.

Hacking and translation features include an expanded ROM for a massive and beautiful English script, expanded Demon names of 10 characters (as opposed to 8), expanded item names of 14 characters (this lets us fit Hinokagutsuchi) and 16+ characters for key items.

Enjoy this video preview while we countdown to the game’s anniversary.

Almost 15 years ago, RPGe, a loosely-connected team of hackers and translators, decided two things:

• One) That Final Fantasy V was awesome

and

• Two) That they weren’t going to sit around while it languished in obscurity.

So they copied the game, and went to work. They hacked in an english alphabet and did the translation as best they could for a group of teenagers just futzing around, and the very first fan-translation of a Final Fantasy game was born.

This release aims to clean up that fan translation a bit, and give you a new excuse to play Final Fantasy V in the process. The punctuation (!!) was toned down, phrasing was altered where deemed necessary, and all in all, the awesomeness level of the entire game was incrementally increased.

Enjoy!

This article is to announce the 100% complete translation for Zoids - Apocalypse. This strategy game with live action battles is great whether playing on your own or against a second player. Play on the side of either the Guylos Empire or the Helic Republic to overtake your opponent and claim the victory for your homeland!

Castlevania Simplified 2.0 has been released! This hack was created specifically with gamers that struggle at difficult games in mind. No longer will players have to fear a relentless difficulty curve. While the game has been made easier than the original, there are still some challenging areas within the later parts of the game.

Key Features:

• Simon only takes 1 or 2 damage from most enemies.

• More porkchops are hidden throughout the levels.

• Hearts accumulate faster.

• There are hardly any bottomless pits.

• And more!

If there are any other classics anyone would love have a “Simplified” version of, by all means, drop me a line.
