After months of working on it on and off, a testing phase with very few testers and some other problems, my German translation of Capcom’s Megaman Zero for the GBA was released yesterday.

The patch is 100% complete, the ROM was expanded from 8MB to 12MB to fit the German script and the menus were slightly hacked for the, sometimes longer, German menu text to fit.

Update5/28/2006 6:53AM EST: Per the vsnes thread on the zsnes board, the archive has been updated. Not sure what exactly was updated as I don’t see a changelog, but I’m sure it does something better than the last one.

Wart is Back! The evil king has escaped from Super Mario’s unconscious and invaded the Mushroom Kingdom. Wart has also kidnapped Mario and rendered the kingdom defenseless. Princess Peach has sent for Samus in a last-chance hope that she may be able to defeat Wart and save the land. As Samus, you must traverse the many obstacles and dangers that Wart has set up through out the 5 areas as well as collect Mario’s super powers to help you on your journey.

Metroid: Wart’s Invasion is a Metroid(NES) hack. All graphics and palettes have been changed into SMB(1,2,3) style. The entire map layout was created from scratch, every room is original and rarely repeat within the game.

The Chrono Trigger: Crimson Echoes project is releasing its second demo! Three chapters of the game are now playable (versus the simple prologue of the last game), featuring new areas, scenes, events, characters and story as the rich world of Crimson Echoes unfolds. Nearly every era is accessible, and a host of other surprises await. I’m really reluctant to reveal much more, as you must experience it for yourself! At a minimum, the demo will last 30-40 minutes at maximum, if you talk to all the NPCs and immerse yourself in the world of the game, it can last up to 3 hours or more. This is truly a new Chrono Trigger adventure if you’d like to follow the team on another mission through time, jack in and download the patch! The instructions for playing are in the Readme. The demo is the relevant link on this news post. Also, please give us feedback here.

Staff note:Pursuant to ROMHacking dot net’s policy of only including completed hacks in our database, we will not be hosting this hack here at this current time. This news was just too good to pass up, so up on the front page it goes.

While not exactly two of the “most wanted games” or something similar and while I’m actually German, I’ve released English translation patches for Snowboard Champion for the GBC and Digimon Adventure 02 - D-1 Tamers for the WonderSwan Color.

Snowboard Champion is a little sports game where you compete is several Snowboarding contests. The translation itself is, let’s say, 50% complete: All the menus are translated, while there is next-to-nothing done on the occasional chatter dialogue between your character and the opponent said text just comes out as gibberish. If I ever complete this translation, a German patch will be done as well.

Digimon Adventure 02 - D-1 Tamers is yet another entry in the list of Digimon-based RPGs on the WonderSwan. On the status of the translation, I quote myself from my website: “Really incomplete and I have to admit that I don’t think I will ever finish this one. You should be able to play through the game without Japanese knownledge but you wont get the story, most dialogue text and other information. On the other hand, menus, items, attacks, several shops and similar stuff is translated.” This pretty much summarizes what you get when applying the patch…

Last but not least, also in the making is a German translation of Megaman Zero for the GBA. As Capcom never bothered to translate the Zero games into German - or, to my knownledge, many games at all for that matter -, I tried my hand on the first one in the series. The completed result should be released in the next few weeks, after going through its (final) testing phase.

Pescatore is an unreleased Famicom game sorta in the vien of Columns. Check it out if you like puzzles. This is a small patch as all that needed translation was the rules explanation demo.

You can download the patch from KingMike’s page, or from RHDN.

KitsuneSniper says this GAME crashes alot because it’s unfinished. DON’T blame the patch!

A few weeks ago Vanit from Vanit Studios released the 1.1 version of the Sin and Punishment translation to english.

As the author comments:

In this minor second release I have changed the following:

• Updated the tutorial in the readme
• Added the dlls people were emailing me about saying it asked for them - see the tutorial below [in the *.rar file] for more info.
• Turns out I left 3 lines untranslated in the Training tutorial and I have put them in this time round. Thanks to everyone who emailed me about it.

I hope you people enjoy of this “bundled” new v1.1 release.

Staff note: You can get it here as well.

This is the world’s first level hack of Rush’n Attack. It may look the same as the original Rush’n Attack at first but the six levels in this hack are different. People who are fans of this game will enjoy it as well as everyone else, there’s also a challenge in this hack that hard players will also like.

And here’s the patch.

What’s been done…

• Changed the font.
• Did some minor palette changes.
• All levels are edited.
