Why wait when people can help/do their own translation project? I've already seen incomplete projects with groups getting disbanded in the past. Hardest part of these translations is having to reverse engineer file formats and hacking text back into the games themselves. I'm a patient fellow though and am grateful for those working on this project so far.
Oh yeah, definitely, tbh I just stumbled upon this thread an hour ago and I'm pumped that this game is still being discussed! aaaa~ and yeah, there are self-help guides like devifoxx's as well so it's not like a translaton project being postponed/scrapped will make too much of a difference. Progress is progress ^^
I knew that if I didn't put a disclaimer saying that I make it sound like there is less to do than it actually is you'd show up splitting hairs apologizing for Jam.
I don't even care about this project, I just think it's stupid how you make these ridiculous assumptions about the project and translation in general, so I reply to it. Because it's blatantly wrong.
anyway, I'm tired of seeing you so I'm gonna ignore you permanently now.
Then what are you even doing here?
You do realize that your assumption is as good as mine, right? I at least try to base my assumptions off things said by people who're working on the patch and according to them the Translation is done, a few textures still need to be inserted since the translation team couldn't get all of them inserted by themselves, a few UI elements need to be translated again for the same reasons, Videos need to be properly subbed and memory leaks need to be taken care of due to bad compression. We're talking about at most 10% total work that's all sitting on Jam's shoulders since the translators can't romhack. If you assume that Jam did literally nothing during the past 4 years and all we would have had was un-inserted translated text then yeah 30% would sound more realistic but that assumption would be a little disrespectful towards him wouldn't it? Jam obviously made a lot of progress already, all that's left are the kinks he didn't manage to get rid of when he was still very active.
You might as well just ignore this thread entirely. Doesn't matter if it's me or somebody else, in your view everybody who is remotely invested and asks for an update on this Project is an entitled fool. So why bother?
Mirroring my post in another thread -- why don't you guys just release what you have now and let people fix it? The project is clearly not making very much progress and has been in development hell for a while now. If as much progress as the OP says has actually been made, then why not release it, so places like the PSU subreddits or any of the Phantasy Star generals on 4chan can get to work and fix it? That's what's happened in the past, buggy translations came out, and with shittons more people to look at them than just the devs of said translations, the problems were fixed.
While we're at it I wonder if you guys tried approaching the Arks Layer team. They've been working on PSO2 Translation for almost 6 years now and are updating the English patch extremely fast. Even branching out to Vita version translations and Phantasy Star Nova basic Menu/Item/Prologue translations. I don't think they'd refuse to help.
Oh yeah, this. This is definitely the best option imo if there's too much stuff preventing you from working.
Look guys, I know waiting is frustrating, but posts like these are not going to make it come out any faster; your accomplishing nothing except wasting massive amounts of time and pissing off large numbers of people by posting inane suggestions like these. Weyu has already stated unequivocally that this translation would be coming out no matter what, so if you can't accept Weyu's statement at face value then maybe you should just give up and move on; you're not making many friends with this constant stream of whining
Posts like yours aren't going to make it come out any faster either. Besides what about anything we said is inane? It's not like Weyu himself made a help wanted thread not too long ago so we're suggesting to ask other translations groups who work on the same franchise. If literal suggestions how to speed things up piss you off and appear to you like whining then I think you're the one who needs to move on. Because whining looks differently.
Typical Troll response... when someone calls you out, turn the accusation right back at your accuser. Unfortunately for you, I don't really care enough to get offended. You've done nothing but whine, bitch and moan about Jam for the last several pages, when you know absolutely nothing at all about Jam, or his life, or any other commitments he might have. Hackers aren't just machines whose sole purpose in life is to crank out obscure game translations for your viewing pleasure; they're human beings who have lives outside hacking, and that sometimes requires them to put projects like these on hold for a while.
You are just another mindless troll whose only purpose is to foment discontent and cause chaos among those of us who are patiently waiting for this project to finish; my time is far too valuable to waste on your kind, so I'm going to add you to my ignore list - have a nice day.

Which is literally why we are suggesting to ask the Arks Layer team to help out. Are you incapable to understand this?
yes PLEASE do this, let the community help you guys out
PLEASE release this
For the last time, they've said multiple times they're not gonna release.
Stop pressuring them to when they don't want to.
Yeah guys stop pressuring them to get this done when they obviously can't.

"large numbers of people"
You mean like, uh, only 3? No one comes here to make friends, we come here to play a fucking video game. For someone who bitches so much about the (justified) anger and disappointment in failed promises and blatant lies, you sure do get angry and disappointed in anyone who mentions the clear flaws and dysfunction of a strung out like fuck team.
In short, stop talking out of your ass. Speak for yourself.
They said they're not going to release it unfinished. This isn't about "stop pressuring them to finish it" this is about you trying to pressure them into releasing it unfinished when they have stated multiple times they aren't going to do that and you're contributing nothing to the conversation but shitty post after shitty post whining about them not releasing it.
It won't even be playable if they release it, and then if they did, people would complain about it being broken, and you'd probably shit your pants whining about them not fixing it instead.
No I wouldn't, I'd wait on someone with the time and skills to fix it, now that everyone can access it. The difference between an open source translation and whatever the fuck this current translation is (if it even EXISTS) is you can see actual progress instead of screenshots or hearsay. Sick assumptions but make some arguments instead mate.

what are you looking at?

Psionic Roshambo:
Phones worked great for DS emulation with DraStic and a controller that held your phone

@
K3Nv2:
Yeah it works great but it's the obvious Ds factor you loose from it it's not like playing atari games on atari because Nintendo actually use to give a reason to buy their hardware+1

@
Psionic Roshambo:
Honestly Ken I actually have the hardware and it's hacked and works fine, prefer my phone lol

@
Psionic Roshambo:
Microphone is more sensitive, DraStic has a high res mode, screen is way better just overall a better experience
-
@
K3Nv2:
I just like game consoles how they were intended to play if they have a unique enough reason to buy them anything else yeah just download emulation for it

I'd like to see a DS emulator that allows casting top screen to TV then use bottom for the touch screen stuff+1

@K3Nv2 I did that using Citra for 3DS games. Bottom screen was my smartphone. Until I got the touch screen.

@
Psionic Roshambo:
Ken I have that sort of set up on Drastic on Pi for games that don't require touch
-

Any TV with your PC connected with Citra and any smartphone to use as a screen using a free play store app.+1
