Star Ocean GBC is being translated IIRC by Aeon Genesis (don,t know if that's the one You talk about)
I mentioned Star Ocean because it is the only game i recall people suggesting the translator passing away, in fact, the translation is stuck but for another reason...
Anyway, good job guys. It's a shame so few SN titles were officially translated.

Games translation on Aeon Genesis stopped since more than a year ago. The job done there was awesome, but well.....it seems there's nothing more to expect for now.

Yeah, unfortunately. Is sad to see these teams stopping their works... There are so many titles i wished to see translated (Luminous Arc 3, Star Ocean - Blue Sphere, All the other SN titles, ...), at least the active teams seems to be working hard. You don't have idea how happy I am watching this more than 4 years project going without even a small sign of weakness.

It's extremely easy to lose your motivation to work on projects... I know I have the problem with most of my projects... which is why I've made my romhacking stuff open source so that someone else can make use of it and hopefully finish it off some day.

Lose motivation, I think I know... I used to make aircrafts for a flight simulator some time ago and had left some dozens of projects unfinished as well. The same with some animations I planned and left unfinished... Release open source is a nice deal, I simply didn't do this because I hoped I could finish them, but I must rethink.

At last i retunerd, i missed? Wow if they work here they advanced enough, when i could play... Sorry impatience kills me

Nothing new on the hacking front (waiting for @EarthDarkness answer) I'm still having problems with the sprites on the menu, so i'll leave that aside and start with the credits.

On the proofreading, salixa made good progress on 9th day (10th day too? hopefully so :D).

That's not a problem. The fact is that the patch you're using is an early version, more like a "proof of concept". The translation is proceeding but a patch with the script translated won't be released so soon (better wait some months than play a bugged game, right? ;) ).

Don't worry, I'm still here ;) Working on Day 10 at the moment, albeit at a slower pace than before. Of the individual routes I've got everyone done but V.E. Then a bunch of random miscellaneous files left. There's so much duplication in NPC dialog... I may just skip them completely while I think of a better solution than manually searching and copy/pasting translations.

This is awesome guys! I played the SNSS games when I was a kid and I loved them, was always sad that 3 never got a translation... But here you guys are! I've been following this project for a little over a year and I thought that it was time I show my support and say that you guys are making dreams come true!
Keep up the hard work guys, we're counting on you! :D

SNIP

there's no problem, it happens because we replaced the game's kanjis with two character combinations, so when the game loads that part of the script, the two char combination is used instead of the original kanji.

Edit: BTW, @Normmatt I remember you asked me for a font and it's width table (that's for the VWF). I managed to find the Swordcraft Story 2's font (offset 944C6D, found it with crystaltile using GB 2bpp tile form):

i'd still need to find the width table, but i figure it'd be next to the font.

    @BigOnYa, and since the default emulator is below average i downloaded some "replacements" like snes9x for snes games for example

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    And I also have my ps3
    +1
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea ps3 is a beast still to today compared to most "sticks"
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    If you just want pi for emulation no point when Anbernic releases new shit every two seconds
    +1
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    What's really cool about Pi's tho is you can have multiple SD cards with different OS on each SD card and change from say a gaming machine to a full fledged pc if wanted
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Plus all bios are set up and usually includes at least 128gbs or 64
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Yeah but if your main goal is just to play n64 and GameCube you can save about $50 and have the portability option

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    True, but on 2 monitors at 4k. Its just want you want really, to each they own.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    For a kids aspect Anbernic would be the better option they'd probably melt over the price on a good 4k display

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    For that texasroo guy, I'd recommend the Spell and speak as his first system.
    +1
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    So they buy a pi5 kit for about $150 and say a 28" 4k display probably looking around $400 total
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    They'll be getting in the territory of portable Pcs anyway
    +1
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Again you get what you pay for, its like buying a S series for $300 but its only 1440p native, if you want true 4k, gotta get the X model for $500. But yea you right, when moms buying it anyways, you gotta stay cheap.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    They could use HD out on their TV no real need for a monitor these days tbh the purists will disagree
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I'm kind of phasing out on the need for wanting all these consoles cool to have but they just become dust build ups
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I here ya there, I have too many myself, and have hard time letting them go, since most of mine I've modded at some point. Anymore I just play Switch on the go, seriesx at home.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    ack my throat
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I need to invest in some storage totes tbh
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Tots?
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Tootles
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Tootles? Wtf
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Oh tootles
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Oh totes , lol, like Tupperware storage, I gotcha
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I'm designing my own entertainment cabinet for my man cave, to store all my systems, then I'm also designing a power supply/HDMI switcher so I can switch to whichever system I want, and power it also. Already picked up the cabinet board, but tinkering with my drawings before start
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    But yea, I have frogger arcade cabinet that I gutted and put a Pi4 then Pi5 into, but it never gets played much anymore, should sell it. Even when the kids come over, they don't want to play on it, just the xbox. TMNT and Simpson's arcade is still so fun on it, esp w 2 players.
