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?

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.

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?
