ROM Hack F-Zero Climax - Translation Project

[Bart Lemming]

The translation is getting close to end, I can say any date, but we have progressed a lot lately.

Ooooh! Cannot wait. A nice translation of Climax has been a long time coming.

Since it's been a good while, let me share a good preview.

This is amazing! Thank you for all the hard work on this.

If you ever fancy a significantly simpler translation project after this one, may I suggest TETRIS Advance (Japan). This is a mostly unknown Tetris that is infinitely nicer on the eye that the monstrosity that is the Tetris Worlds backgrounds. Also the modes are closer to a classic+ approach. Other than the translated menus, the only the thing it needs a a rather horrid ear-piercing sound-effect for the hard-drop replacing with something softer.

It's such a shame the GBA actually has a really good Tetris that nobody knows about because it wasn't localised.

Anyway not wanting to distract you from FZC

People, take a big look to the first post, the patch is finally here!


Edit:
I'm adding my savefile, which has a lot of edited courses, including the official four from the video.

Thank you and congratulations for completing this long-awaited translation project of the best racing game for GBA.

Could you also provide it in 64 kb format?
Thanks.

Notes: Isn't this game supposed to have a "story mode"? Is it maybe to be unlocked somehow? And how?

I don't know about the save format, this is the original one, I imagine there's tools to change it if it's needed.

The game doesn't have a story mode like GP Legend, it has story in the options menu, but you have the Survival mode to compensate, also there's where you unlock the chapters.

I would recommend to take a look here to know how to unlock things on the game:

Game very nice graphically , fast and exciting, but very difficult and often frustrating.
On the Novice skill level, I won the previous 3 cups, but the Platinum Cup (the fourth) is really impossible to win, with eight long and twisted tracks that require tight turns and impossible movements to make without stopping completely and without crashing on the edge of the track.
I'm playing it on real hardware (slot2 of the DS lite) and I've found many and various difficulties, despite being a good player in this kind of games : what is your experience about it? Do you have any suggestions, other than using cheat codes?

I just played as normal, using the Blue Falcon, just try to eliminate the people who is higher on the ranking, since they will get 0 points at the end of that race.
