Mother 3 Translation RELEASED!

[seedvt]

I just hope this isn't a grinding RPG...

Too bad it is.

You can easily beat this without excessive grinding.

I only recently finished up a second play of Earthbound, maybe a few months ago.

And god am I ready for this.

I really hope this works on my XROM512!!

I've been following this for about 6 months!

EDIT

Wonder if this will work good on a Wii!!

Playing Mother 3 on a Wii... damn... that would be wicked!

i like the part where he says "was counting on some gbatemp people to help provide a detailed guide about flash carts/cards, but it looks like it’s not going to happen." i never saw a post asking for help. i would have gladly typed of a 20min guide to gba flash linkers, and flash kits.

Just saw this post, hehe.
He was referring to me, maybe we can complete it together

@JPH: you know where to find me, i'm down.

the thing that scares me about this patch is that the rom is 32 megs to begin with. adding text (even after taking out the japanese text) will only increase the game size. i'm curious to find out what "hacking" they did to keep the file size at 32 megs. they mention that they were careful to keep it at 32, but at what costs? something had to be removed or rearranged. i'd love to read the specifics, i hope they publish that info.

I'm gonna be played this on my PSP. I don't have a GBA flashcart and emulating games on the PC when you can play them on other consoles/handhelds with good or near perfect results sucks to me now

Just saw the good news myself. Hot fuck yeah, baby!

I wonder if any other translation for Mother 1 + 2 (gba) exists rather than RPGone's one ?

anyway, looking forward for this patch

There isn't. I think that at some point Mato (one of the guys translating 3) said that when he talked to RPGone about his patch, RPGone told him that the code for 2 in the GBA cart was absurd, and would have been more trouble than it was worth, especially considering that people could already play the Super Nintendo version. So I would guess that's why nobody else picked it up.

And totally looking forward to this. Had to hunt down my old flashcart a week ago in preparation (which wasn't easy since I haven't used it in years and I just moved

) But totally worth it. As a friend of mine put it, "It's like Christmas is coming some random day this week!" XD

I'll wait for my pandora till Ill play this.

1 was suppose to be good, and 2 was called earthbound in the states, which was pretty good.

 

[GameDragon]

Its a weird RPG, I think you need a sense of humor to enjoy Mother/Earthbound. Its a pretty solid RPG though. Besides, Mother 3's story blows Earthbound's out the water.

I recommend people play Earthbound before Mother 3, since its a direct sequel to the storyline.

I almost pissed myself. This has gotta be one of the best weeks of my life this year.

thanks for the info!

No problem.

2 (AKA Earthbound for the SNES) is an awesome RPG. I'm replaying it now to get back in the right frame of mind.

Mato did some AWESOME hacking and empty space hunting. Don't worry, they've been able to fit everything in the original 32mbytes, not removing anything and even throwing some extras in, like the little Silver Star

Actually there's a thing called compression.
