While working on the translation for Dirge of Cerberus Lost Episodes, I found out that for the English text, they made some sacrifices to how the game displays text to make more room and left out some QoL stuff like colored speaker names. So I went ahead and reimplemented that.
After four days of bruteforcing and spending over $900, the FULL version of FFVII Dirge of Cerberus Lost Episode has been preserved by @yuvi.app! The game's SD card data, which it fully relies on, remained encrypted until now. Despite being 9MB, the game contains cutscenes and voice acting.
Funny enough, the game contained some leftover English for only the tutorial mission of the game. I went ahead and enabled it, but a full translation will still need to happen. Happy to help with that endeavor if anyone steps up to do it.
Today is another special day. I am so proud to say I have finally recovered the FULL copy of Dirge of Cerberus Lost Episode for Japanese cell phones. After many years of this avoiding us, it's been done. youtu.be/UfpwhMTwMgM

A playtest build for the next translation to be released has been generated. So not too far off now! All I can say is this was the most complex ASM hacking I've done in a long time. With one of the biggest scripts I've been a part of. Fun times ahead. :D
Team Innocent videos now fully subbed and running on hardware, with my new PC-FX Video Encoder I made.
Cooked up a decoder and encoder for PCFX Blue Breaker videos. Getting tools ready to eventually do a translation :D
I was so excited to show you the first-ever WonderGate footage of Digimon 02 - D1 Tamers until, well, it got a little broken. 😄

The start of something new :D Just a rough draft of trying to create an enclosure for a fully self-contained device that will add some awesome functionality to certain PSX games. It all fit, and clearances were on point.
Tales of Fandom Vol. 1 for PSX now has working online leaderboards again! I just finished the server implementation. You might be asking, "How does the PSX have online connectivity?" Well, you could use certain docomo Keitai back then to give you PSX internet access. So cool!
A new partial copy of Before Crisis FFVII was preserved by NaoyaShinota! This copy contains Turk data for Cissnei, as well as a battle map and sprites for Weapon D Mode (postgame superboss mode). Now we preserved four Turks: Rod, Gun (Male), Nunchuck, and Shuriken (aka Cissnei).
Well... it's official... I need a translator for Tenerezza; the RE work is all but done. This has really been on my list to get done for far too long now. Happy to have made it all work, made the game work with 1-byte ASCII and everything as before that would crash no matter what.
Long time coming! But this was a fun challenge of a project.
SnowyAria (｡•̀ᴗ-)✧🏳️⚧️@snowyaria.goodorevengreat.games · 2mo agoSudden left-field, but @yuvi.app successfully inserted the script for Innocent Tears (for the Xbox(!?)) I translated a while back! Still a WIP, but I'm glad to see this one off the ground! Gotta bring the "best" games possible, regardless of console~
Nothing makes me happier than to see the quality of the fan translations being released these days. Kowloon's Gate has always been one game on my list I'd love to play one day. So I'm happy to say that my good friends Hilltop and Cargodin are releasing it here soon!

For those who have known me. I've always talked about one of those passion projects I have to complete in my life. Which was and always has been Tales of Eternia Online. As a young lad growing up, I had the chance to play this, and told myself a decade ago I will again.
