Staff Note: Image was too big for main page display, and I don’t feel like making and uploading a new one, so here’s a link:

VSNES SMV support in action.

This version can load, display, edit and save SMV files.

Note that there are two major SNES9x builds: the official one and the one from nesvideos. Movies created with one build might be incompatible with the other one.

After no news for a while, Nightwolve has updated his excellent Ys I Eternal patch for the PC to 1.27. Nothing major, but a few minor fixes. You can download the patch from his website or from ROMHacking.net.

Also there is some pleasing progress on Legend of Heroes VI hacking with some pics showing the preliminary progress he has made. The image above is one of them, cropped for your viewing pleasure. More details and pics at the site.

The editing of the translated Tsukihime script is at 56.17% according to the latest updates at the Mirror Moon website thanks mainly to the return of Ryuusoul. There are some month old screenshots over there, new to me, and possibly new to you as well.

Also, there is new website up for Revolve Translations which is currently handling the Melty Blood Re-Act translation. Thier URL is http://www.revolve-trans.org/.

Updated 3/29- Revolve has clarified their post and stated that editing, not translation, of the Tsukihime script is currently at 56.17%

VL Tone Writes

To sum it up, the graphics in SM64 are compressed, this program expands the rom, decompresses them, and tacks them at the end of the rom enabling you to edit textures with TileMolester or any other graphics editing program that supports the format. The author of this program is also working on a level editor, screenshots of which can be found in this thread over on Acmlm’s message board. You can download a version for Windows or Mac from our site, or from rapidshare links included in the following messageboard thread:

A fair deal of progress has already been made into translating this Korean MMORPG for the PC. All of the Digimon attacks have been translated, except for a couple which have recently been inserted into the game, all of the items in the game have been translated and are currently being inserted, and all of the menu descriptions have been inserted, along with a few less major things.

Since this game is updated every Wednesday it automatically overwrites the file which stores all of the Korean text, so I’ve had to create a patcher which will repeat the process of overwriting the Korean text with English text every week. I’ve also included language support for German and Netherlands which are currently in redevelopment.

In a week I’ll be releasing a new version of the patcher which inserts the second block of items bringing the total phrases inserted count up to 602. I’ve also changed the file format it reads to know what to search for and what to replace it with from the INI file format to the XML format, this should improve efficiency a great deal, bringing down the total amount of time required to complete the patching process.

However, despite this good news I still feel that having more than one translator would greatly improve my chances of getting most of the text finished this year, as there is still over 600kb worth of it left. I also think that the patcher would be much faster if it was coded in C++ rather than Visual Basic 6, however since I only know Visual Basic this is all I can do. If anyone would be able to help me with either of these problems I’d be very greatful.

I would estimate that a good 22% of the text is already translated, and despite how long it takes to copy and paste the search and replace hex values I think I’m making pretty good progress so far.

No screenshots as of yet, but since only the text can be edited then screenshots don’t really serve much of a purpose anyway.

I uploaded a new version of my script dump tool for DOS. This has been developed as a general template to my custom script dumpers. So, it’s probaly lacking a lot of useful stuff yet (like pointer calculation for substring entries), but hey, I feel like sharing.

Notables: Added support for a custom TBL entry for substrings. Right now, I support only fixed-length strings, with the least significant byte first. And table swapping. Source code included, but you will never understand it. :D

Staff Note: You can also find this utility in our archives along with many other utilities by this author.

Radical R has been working on this project for a little under a year and he feels that there is enough done for a patch. He has finished the following:

• - The Introduction (OPEN.XDF)
• - The System Menu and Messages (SYSTEM.XDF)
• - The Music Mode (END.XDF)
• - The Story up to the Shrine. (DATA.XDF)

What is Die Bahnwelt? It is a Sci-Fi action story made by Glodia for the X68000.

Please play this and give feedback via email in the readme.

Not much translating done this time, pretty much the same as the last patch. Just an experimental update for Final Fire Prowrestling to test some things out. I’ve personally had no problems with it, but you never know, as whenever I release something which I assume has no problems I always get an e-mail or IM pointing the obvious glitch/error which I missed.

The big addition to this one, which is the one I want thoroughly tested and any problems reported is that I inserted double ASCII characters over some of the Kanji, they are the same width as using 2 Shift-JIS roman characters and look just like them, but uses up half the space allowing for longer names for wrestlers, promotions and moves, which was always one of the big problems with this game. While it was an easy hack to do and probably not how it should’ve been done, it works well.

The other thing I did, which I probably shouldn’t have, is replaced the FMW ring logo with a Pro Wrestling WILD logo. This’ll be removed from the final version, but there’s a reason this is called experimental. (I know I messed up the colours, again, laziness kicked in)

Look out for any problems with these features and some constructive feedback would be nice.

2 final notes: I know about the broken move names, I kinda rushed recalcing the pointers and messed some of them up. I’ll clean them up for next time. I also need help with the compressed graphics.

I’ve started work on a short doujin game called Hexa Space 01: Seren. It is by a 3D CG artist I like. It turns out that the game is VERY easy to hack, not requiring any of the usual technical know-how other than how to use a hex editor. Consequently I’m working on this one by myself and progress has been really good so far. All of the battle menus, items, stats, characters, etc. have been translated and inserted. Some of the script has been dumped, translated, and inserted including the intro and the first bit of dialog. This game is for over 18 only. Check the linkage for more info.

Magno, from Traducciones Magno, has released a patch translating the legendary Seiken Densetsu 3 into spanish. The patch is based off Neill Corlett and Co. english translation (as this message based off Nightcrawler last message. Heh). This patch translates EVERYTHING that is in english: INN/PUB cartels, credits… and when I say everything, I mean it. Plus it fixes some bugs the original one (in english) had, like one in the inventory, where some letters appeared where they should NOT.

Read more about it on:

This project has been waiting to be released for almost 6 years already. Now I see it was well worth.
