    Homebrew UPDATE: Regarding the recent 3DS banwave

    Do Nintendo reps have a history of being accurate and in the know about these things? That's kind of important when deciding how much weight to give to their confirmation.

    Just out of curiosity, how are you guys so sure it's a perma ban?

    ROM Hack [WIP] Dragon Ball Heroes: Ultimate Mission 2 Translation

    Awesome. After hearing about a new Ultimate Mission game today, I was wondering if anyone ever translated the first two and that brought me here. Thank you very much for taking this on. I'll be waiting patiently for the final release.

    Hacking Legend of Heroes Translation

    Nah, I think that's a good point to raise, as it seems that a lot of people everywhere incorrectly treat XSEED as a developer. How embarrassing that I've made the same mistake here. What I should have said was that the team shouldn't be complaining about XSEED until they intervene with a subtle...

    Hacking Legend of Heroes Translation

    Thank you for being direct and stating that it's illegal. That's what I figured after Tantrum ignored my last post about fair use and derivative works. Likewise, until XSEED sends a C&D, people should stop complaining about them being an evil company who is out to screw fan translators over...

    Hacking Legend of Heroes Translation

    Apologies for being a part of derailing this topic. I just find it ridiculous that people are making XSEED seem like the bad guys with no proof. If they didn't care about their fans, they would have cut their losses after FC PSP bombed and moved on. Yet here we are with 3 Trails games out and a...

    Hacking Legend of Heroes Translation

    I rarely follow projects as they happen, so I usually find out about their mediocrity by word of mouth after all is said and done. For the one fan translation I'm following, I proofread every line they release and notify them of any errors. This is how they wanted the process to be like, and I...

    Hacking Legend of Heroes Translation

    I can't believe that there are people in this topic who are seriously concerned about XSEED stealing anything. Rest assured they won't. Anyone who does a fan translation project does it knowing that a C&D can come at any time. If that's not something you're prepared for, look for another hobby...
