I'm trembling while writing this: Kamaitachi no yoru—not the PC remake, not the iOS port, but the actual original SFC version—has been translated at last by ButThouMust, who graciously brought us an English patch for Otogirisou in the past. This is HISTORICAL.

The revamped Sakura Wars official website now has a characters page for Sakura Wars 1 & 2! Most characters have a gallery featuring the higher resolution versions of CG found in the old PC releases of the two games: sakura-taisen.com/characters/1/ sakura-taisen.com/characters/2/

One fascinating thing about difference between Dreamcast and other versions of Ever17 is that in the DC ver. Sora's stole isn't transparent at all. This is exclusive to Dreamcast for some reason.

Who kicked the can? #ever17

"Dreamcast", a haiku Each day he rises. Asks me, "Is it still launch day?" "Yes," I lie. "Always."

Been hard at work lately~ Now the full Event Replay menu has been added to AT1, allowing replay of synthesis chats, talk topics and Cosmospheres. The synthesis chats also include unused conversations for two items (Yuteria String and FFT Divider) as bonuses.

Remind me to never put joke options in a poll ever again.

Also I just want to say that the Ever17 Himmel script is getting a TLC in the same way Remember11 got one with Gestalt. A lot of errors, mistranslations, and terminology will get corrected.

Oh wow… re-translation of Xenogears' main script has been completed.

To this point, I will also reiterate that PS3 and PS Vita digital download preservation remains incomplete, particularly for Japanese games and DLC, where I imagine the bulk of that work has taken place abroad. This essentially gives a one-year deadline to plug some sizeable, yet quite tricky holes.

The absolute state of gaming in the big 2026

Wow Sony is killing off physical printing for PS5/PS4? What the hell...

Hi everyone We will be prepared for this when Sony delists their legacy PlayStation stores. We will shortly begin double checking our archives to ensure we have everything Puyo related available from the PlayStation 3 & Vita stores when the time comes. We will update you when possible. #PuyoPuyo

It was only a matter of time really.

Semi related to classic visual novels... I'm starting to think that companies should seriously consider releasing classic VNs in whatever maximum resolution they have for the files. The recently re-released My Merry May with be HD remaster looks horrible. The AI upscaling looks horrible.

I hope everyone is looking forward to Ever17 on the PS2~ I always felt like classic consoles like the PS2 and Dreamcast needed more visual novel patches!

The second entry in KID's "infinity" series, Ever17 -the out of infinity-, is getting an English patch on the PS2! Originally released for the Dreamcast and PlayStation 2 in 2002, and later getting an official English loc in 2005... it is getting an English patch on home consoles for the first time.

I've been messing around with Neutrino's GSM on PS2 and surprisingly it's way better than OPL's GSM. In Ever17's case for example all videos were playing at lower framerate when using 480p on OPL but in Neutrino everything works!

Making sure the wrong doings of the past are corrected... all known translators behind Ever17's original English localization, which is sadly one for now..., are properly credited in-game.

Wrote a test harness that let me run the decompiled game in lockstep with the Ymir emulator, validating that for the same input, the game behavior remain faithful to the original code. This checks character position, camera, collisions, and can easily add more. #panzerdragoonsaga #reverseengineering

Looking forward to the Blue Dragon recomp. Seems like the 1.0 release is near...

Well I wonder how will this affect Key and VISUAL ARTS

badspot's review of Tales of Destiny: Director's Cut | Backloggd

While I have never played the original PlayStation 1 release, the PlayStation 2 remake of Tales of Destiny is excellent. Beautiful 2D sprites with nice blending of "3D." It's easily the most prettiest 2D Tales of title and I'm a bit sad they kind of stopped making games like this! Sadly though it...

Another new Higurashi anime, another adaptation that will surely misinterpret the themes of Higurashi's original story...

It's sad how I'm seeing more and more people excuse AI and MTL translation as "it's better than nothing" like your excuse is it's better to have mistranslations, as AI hallucinates, than no translation at all?

After hearing feedback, we disabled downloads for machine translated content. Downloads are available upon request for those wanting to use these patches as bases for a fully human-done script. This was the primary motivator of serving this content, and it is not our intent to go into AI discourse
