I've been following this games translation for over a decade, Tom is mostly just a translator and Kingcom is someone who hacks the game to put the translation into it, The words have likely been translated to English in a text/script document for years and a good chunk are even in the game, Sadly the hard part is putting the translated words into the game in this case

"Dragon Quest Monsters 1&2 is undoubtedly among the nastiest games I’ve worked on. It needed many major programming changes that all came with their own set of resulting issues. Some systems of the game were just entirely unsuited to languages other than Japanese and needed a lot of manual work to get them working" -Kingcom, July-29-2015

Basically, Seems like significant parts of the game need to be hacked or reprogramed compared to most translation projects
I've seen since deleted tweets from Tom (he deletes all his tweets frequently) that said that the project isn't forgotten or abandoned yet

I've been following it for that long and read that back then too. It's probably the only reason why this takes so damn long or was abandoned so many times within that project's lifespan.
that said that the project isn't forgotten or abandoned yet
Read that as well and it's the only hope left for us.
I had a video call with some guys at bountysource recently because you can't create bounties without relying on a GitHub issue currently (and the lack of a DQM translation is no issue in any GitHub repository lol). However they are soon to implement a way now to create bounties without that need which is where I'll be creating one right away to maybe light some new fire on that project. If the bounty raises (I plan to throw in some bucks every month and hope a few community members do that as well), it'll be more attractive to Tom and/or Kingcom to ditch other current projects and get DQM finally done.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    There used to be somehow Acekard 2i clones and DSOne clones, but they seem to have disappeared off the site, perhaps old remaining stock that they had lying around.
  • A @ anotherthing:
    Speaking of Angband, why has no one ever made Angband 3D for the 3DS?
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @anotherthing, And a let down it was. I was quite fascinated when EZ-Flash announced the product, and wanted to buy it. But was let down by the reviews and the responses from people on here, hence why I avoided it like the plague, as if I really needed another one. I'm fine with what I've currently got atm. :P

    I bought one.

    @anotherthing, How was it? Did it suck per usual?

  • A @ anotherthing:
    It's very not exceptional.

    I was expecting it to do something more than pretty much every other card out there, and it doesn't do anything more.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Understandable. I did try to warn others about this cartridge, but they didn't listen to me or anybody else about the EZ-Flash and bought them anyways, only to realise that they wasted their money.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @anotherthing, It acts kinda the same way as an Ace3DS+ cartridge, because it uses the commonly known Wood kernel as a base.

  • A @ anotherthing:
    I have three EZ Flash Omega/DEs and I really was thinking that the EZ Flash Parallel would work similar to how the Omega worked. Where it recognizes the file extension and loads that file accordingly.

  • A @ anotherthing:
    To play an NES game on the EZ Flash Omega, you just toss it on the SD card and select it from the menu and it loads it in to the NES emulator.

  • A @ anotherthing:
    The EZ Flash Parallel just works like every single other card I have.

    My wife just got a 3DS, and I was hoping that the EZ Flash Parallel was something I wouldn't have to walk her through.

  • A @ anotherthing:
    I can walk her through how to do something like loading an NES game on a $10 cartridge.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    At least she has a console to play games on. :D

    We've been playing Animal Crossing in the morning after I finish chores and before she heads to work.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    I've never played Animal Crossing Wild World for a long time. Probably the best games on the system so far.

    I hadn't played the game in about a year until she started playing it. My first day back involved a lot of weeding.

  • A @ anotherthing:
    Speaking of chores, they need to be started in about six and a half hours, so I need to hit the sack.
  • A @ anotherthing:
    You all take care!

    @anotherthing, Thanks, been nice talking to you for a change.

    Take care now.
