I was wondering if anyone ever attempted to convert Rondo of Blood into a VC with the English patch.

Strangely enough when Konami released this as a VC over here, they did not bother to translate it at all. Since then the fan made translation was completed, but I have no idea about how to go about converting a PC-Engine ISO into a VC. I know how to do roms for about ever other system, but am clueless when it comes to ISO conversions.

Has this been attempted? Likewise has anyone attempted to convert any of the PC Engine CD translations over to VC such as Ys IV?

> Yeah we know this got an 'official' release already but ninty decided that
a half baked release would do. This 0RANGECHiCKEN release has the whole
game translated to english, so you get the title screen, dialogue and all.

> This game is regionfree but your TV must support an NTSC signal and 480i/p

That is fantastic to hear, sadly the IRC channel is empty, even though I found an update in relation to it form no less than a month ago. I found a link that says everything has been pulled from Usenet (not that I have News Server access anyhow) and the one torrent link I found is gone too.

Suck suck suck!

Good to see that OrangeChicken is still putting stuff together though, I only wish I was in the loop so I could access their releases. Bummer!

EDIT: Someone was kind enough to up a direct link, found it!! Thanks!

Well, i can't help with the VC version, but know that the translated game works perfectly on Wiimednafen and on Retroarch's mednafen core.
It has to be in bin/cue format and it needs syscard3.pce bios to work. You can even keep the original narrator voice in the intro, you just need to overwrite track03 with the original one after the patch is applied and then rip it to bin/cue using imgburn.

Could somebody who has the injected version use it to make a patch for the untranslated wad, so that it can be shared out in the open?

    I rather enjoy a life of taking it easy. I haven't reached that life yet though.

    He put it down when the 3ds came out

    @K3Nv2, RIP Felix does great videos on the PS3 yellow-light-of-death.
  • Jayro @ Jayro:
    Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.

    The phat model had amazingly loud speakers tho.

    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme

    but that's a long shot

    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."
