https://www.timeextension.com/news/2024/04/mega-man-legends-2s-japanese-prologue-is-finally-getting-an-english-fan-translationThe fan translation group Hilltop Works has announced that it is translating the Japanese-exclusive prologue to Mega Man Legends 2 into English.If you're a Mega Man Legends fan, you might already be aware that Mega Man Legends 2 has a somewhat unusual name in Japan, being released in the country under the title Rockman Dash 2 - Episode 2: Ōinaru Isan.This title came about as Japan actually got its own exclusive prologue to the game, which was first distributed as a bonus disc for the Mega Man Legends spin-off Tron ni Kobun (under the title Episode One: Roll-Chan Kiki Ippatsu) before later appearing as part of the 2005 PSP port.
k.. keep me posted
Fucking FINALLY
I never played any of these. Who plays games? I just talk about games on the internet.
WHAT OMFGI've wanted this forever. How long is it doesn't anyone know?
>>10877069Should be about 30-40 tops. It's just a short fight through Servbot tanks and turrets (you're given some weapons and upgrades for the demo) and then a fight with Tron's crab mecha from Legends 2.
>>10877041The psp version?The ps1 games dont support subtitles
>>10877116Adding to that, the demo is mostly remembered for OP's image. Tron demands that Rock join the Sky Pirates and if the player says Yes, it cuts to the scene where they're running hand-in-hand while shooting everybody. Then it returns to reality where Rock refuses her offer and the demo proceeds as normal.
>>10877041I had no idea it never made it to English speaking versions. Or is this a retranslation project? I'll support it just for more of the Dash series since we were so denied the 3rd entry that the fans were making.
>>1087711630-40 what?
>>10877603Minutes. It's very short.
>fan translation group has announced that it called dibs on this game'kay see you in 30 years when the game is still listed as "10% in progress" on their website and nobody else will translate it because "they're working on it".
>>10877798>I get all my information from headlines
Neat
Protodouche is going to fag it up i bet.
>>10877123They coded subtitles, which means undubs for the PS1 originals are now possible
>>10878392That's pretty neat. Not many translations go as far as implementing subtitles, one example that always comes to mind is Tales of Phantasia.
wake me up when they translate Rockman Dash for PSP
>>10878647For why?
>>10878657because its best the version
>>10878660But why exactly? I know Legends 2 has lower prices and smoother underwater play on PSP, but those got patched into the PS1 version.
>>10877798Princess Crown.
Fucking nice, looking forward to it.
>>10878690What's the status on that?
>>10878392I found the dub of Legends pretty charming. It adds to that Saturday morning cartoon vibe the game has.
>>10878392Theres no way thats easier than just translating the psp versions...
>>10877142That sounds beyond fucking kino.>>10877204Fucking crazy that the Misadventures of Tronne Bonne is a several hundred dollar game these days. I remember seeing it in a store as a kid and thinking, "Oh, what's that?"In any case, if I wanted to play the Legends games, assuming no language barriers whatsoever, what versions would anons recommend?>>10878647>>10878657>>10878660>>10878663Links to sources and patches?
>>10879684Depends. PSP games are basically solved, while PS1 hacks are still hit or miss on console (ie even the semi-recent MOON translation crashes on console).
>>10879852The last thing I knew about the PSP versions was that the text was compressed/encrypted
They could have used this effort to translate a better PS1 game What a waste
>>10879684Hilltop has apparently been making great strides in solving PS1 hacking. Also iirc the PSP ports are kind of a mess coding-wise and also I don't think the prologue has a PSP version.>>10879852if I recall the Moon patch is unstable because it wasn't finished properly. I think they stopped working on it after the announcement of the Switch port/loc>>10879394Same, but it'd be cool to have the option for replays.
>>10880029Psp dash 2 has everything on one disk
I've beaten it. For the record there is like 45mins of exclusive content here, including a really shitty dungeon with simple copy pasted corridors and rooms. But the last scenario is cool, it has cutscenes not seen in the finalg ame and there are a couple of cool outdoor areas too (and I think even a couple of exclusive enemies?)Anyway it's just a demo nothing to fuss about
>>10878663Widescreen, native resolution of PSP screen, and better controls for playing it on PSP. It's an improvement over emulating a PSX version eboot on PSP.
>>10881638It's more the fact it's "Episode 1" and as such had a exclusive small side story, while the full retail was sold in Japan as "Episode 2".
>>10877041Fucking BASED!!!! Let's get diggin
>>10877798its already out, inafune schizo
>>10882565That's just marketing bullshit to get people to buy Tron Bonne. It's a glorified demo, and missing the "side story" doesn't make you miss anything from the game. In fact, it doesn't even connect to the main game's story well (when is it supposed to take place?! It's completely disconnected)
I wish more demos had been their own little independent episodes. Show off how the new game plays, maybe use the demo as a prologue, maybe let you transfer over completion data to the main game to unlock a goody.
>>10879775>Fucking crazy that the Misadventures of Tronne Bonne is a several hundred dollar game these daysI will always be a little bit sour knowing I didn't hold onto my copy. But I'm just glad I got to not only enjoy the game as a dumb kid, but finally finish it later in life.

>>10879775I think it was $5USD on the PSN store as a Playstation Classic. I would say play it however you can to figure out if you are captured by the games' charm.
>>10886363It got C&D'd by Capcom. Hideki Ishikawa even contributed some artwork for it.
>>10877041I like the artstyle in this game but too bad I find the main character too fucking lame to want to play it. It has FFX syndrome.
>>10886420Legends 2 was weird. They gave megaman the same female voice actress as sailor Mars or Jupiter or whoever
>>10884484Damn I was hoping someone would translate the psp version. Saturn is a pain to emulate.
god PLEASE give us retranslations of the other dash games
>>10879775https://cdromance.org/psx-iso/mega-man-legends-2-psp-improvements-hack/
>>10883630RE7 did this to great effect
>>10886540Neat
>>10886459>Saturn is a pain to emulateMednafen + Mednaffe, easy.
>>10886424She also had voiced Mayor Amelia in Legends 1. the reason being, his voice actor from Legends 1 was 14 during L1 itself, just like Rock Volnutt was, but by L2, he was 16 and his voice became DEEP.
>>10877041>HillSlopnah fuck that retard and fuck the even more retarded retards who work for him for free while he rakes in all the Patreonbux for his self.
I have never played a Mega Man game.
>>10888361A project like this does sound like the perfect patreon bait. Low effort, it's just a fucking demo with 5 lines of dialogues, 2 cutscenes and 3 menus; but high advertising
>>10888370False gamer
>>10888370Based "I have never played x game" poster
>>10877041>check translation>is trannyslation Well going back to play it in japanese.
>>10888370I don't like Megaman but i like Megaman Legends
>>10888370See you in my dreams
>>10890786how did they ruin it?
>>10886414Anywhere I can see the art?
>>10893947I believe the boorus had it tagged under ishikawa_hideki. You'll also see a lot of Mega Man porn he's drawn.
