Even if someone finishes their work properly next week, it's over. Pack it up. The Internet operates on a first-ass, first-shit mentality. Irrespective of quality, this is going to be synonymous with the game's translation for the rest of time. The next one can be 97% better, but it doesn't matter. You failed. All hail Aeon Genesis!

Calling it now: Aeon Genesis will have the more accurate version. No one who types like this -especially regarding something that happened less than a month ago- knows what they're doing.
Also predicting that Aeon Genesis is going to pester Namco about giving the game and their translation an official release. They failed with Cave Story and Puyo Puyo, but maybe third time's the charm?
But you should still invite Lazarus over to your pitch meetings, Gideon.

Just like the original ROM, the correct mapper configuration (Mapper 210, Submapper 1, 8 KB SRAM) is incompatible with the Everdrive N8 Pro. You can use the incorrect configuration Mapper 19, Submapper 2, 8 KB SRAM to get the game to run on an Everdrive N8 Pro. Note that this configuration will not work in Mesen.

To change the header, after applying the patch, replace the original first 16 bytes of the ROM:
>4E 45 53 1A 20 20 23 D8 10 00 70 00 00 00 00 01
with these 16 bytes:
>4E 45 53 1A 20 20 33 18 20 00 70 00 00 00 00 01

Alternatively, you can download this pre-patched ROM with the Everdrive compatible header:
https://files.catbox.moe/gytcdg.nes
This is the version of the patch that includes the run button.

>>12222290
Aeon Genesis' translation of Cave Story came out a mere 41 days after the original Japanese release. That was in 2005.

Translation projects vary wildly in scope. Saying "most take a long time due to laziness" is disingenuous. The Splatterworld translation was not a very large project. The game has less text than a short story. All of its text is stored uncompressed and indexed by a central pointer table, so extracting and reinserting it is easy. Graphics, too, are uncompressed and can be edited with boilerplate tools. Its a Famicom game, so there's no expectation that a variable width font be implemented. This isn't to discredit the work they did, but larger, newer games take orders of magnitude more effort to hack and translate.

All of this is not even to mention of the progression of tools and technique over time. Hacking a Famicom game in 2005 was orders of magnitude more difficult than hacking one now. In 2005, you have primitive emulators whose debugging capabilities extend as far as maybe being able to print a stack trace, scattered and incomplete hardware documentation, and not much general know-how in the world of romhacking. Nowadays, you have access to perhaps the single most streamlined software debugger ever in the form of Mesen, incredibly intricate and comprehensive documentation of even the most minute hardware details thanks to the Nesdev wiki, and in Aeon Genesis' case, 20 years of experience in how to manage these types of projects. Modern resources like these are the difference between a project taking a month and a project taking a year.

Famicom hacking and development is a solved problem. In terms of tooling, the resources available for newer systems like the Saturn or Dreamcast is much more like the Famicom tools of 2005 than those of 2025. Moreover, newer systems are more complicated, and games on said systems are usually much longer. Hacking a Famicom game in 2025 is like fighting a war in the 1800s with modern technology.

All releases like this prove is that no one actually gives a rat's ass about quality, and only care that all the text is in something that resembles English.
No one will ever check your work or call you out. If they do, it falls upon deaf ears (see: this thread). If it somehow doesn't, it hardly matters because everyone will play the first release and never again after that, their one and only experience with it being incorrect trash.

The mapper it uses is pretty simple but it looks like virtuanes doesn't support it. Not sure about whatever RA cores are available on the 3DS.

Rick and Jennifer's son is supposed to have special powers, so it makes sense he got it from one of his parents.
>>12225354
You really don't need to. This is a chibi spinoff that barely connects to the main series, kind of like what Kid Dracula was to Castlevania. Even if Splatter World is obsensibly a sequel to Wanpaku Graffiti, the first act is basically a condensed, self-contained retelling. It's also virtually 99% complete. More complete than a lot of released games.
I get the sense that they wanted to continue the series in this style for the Japanese audience, since the Sega sequels were geared more to the Western market.

I don't think he had much of anything to do with the hack. He just made the restorations and mockups seen in the Google Drive in the previous threads, and Zhi decided to put some of that to good use.

I am now one of the very few people in history to have completed this game. It was pretty good. The encounter rate is just as absurd as you would expect from a Famicom RPG, the music is good, the graphics are great. It runs out of steam a little at the end but it's fine. Feels like if this came out back in the day and got a fan translation in the late 90's/early 2000's it would have a small dedicated following. It's more than exotic and quirky enough to earn it.

The game won't save in FCEUX.

Between this thread, the 2nd translation trying to fling shit at the first one, and the bullshit at RHDN, I wanted to say:

The coolest shit fell into our laps and all anyone cares about is petty drama,. If I was the dumper I'd be thinking I shouldn't have bothered.

Fuck you. Fuck you all.

All of the people who actually enjoy video games are keeping to themselves and just playing the game. If anything, they're probably avoiding the thread to not see spoilers. The most contribution you will get from this type of person is a one post review like >>12226598. In contrast, the shit flingers who don't even play video games are the type of people who will spend their time endlessly spout nonsense on 4chan. They are a loud minority. On CDRomance, the prepatched translation has over 4,000 downloads. Between the websites you can download the patch, there's another 1,500. That's not to mention there a bunch of other sources that do not track downloads. Don't let the trolls get to you. The real gamers are out there and they are numerous.

I, for one, am very grateful to the original dumper and to the people whose hard work led to the game being playable in English.
>>
>>12226995
>Fuck you. Fuck you all.
God forbid people give a shit about the translation being of acceptable quality instead of half the shit being made up. Literally all Takes-An-Eon Genesis needs to do is swallow their pride and pick up one of the anons from a thread like this and have them do a pass over the script and remedy all of the issues, but instead, they would rather rush shit out as quickly as possible, accuracy be damned, because Memeon Zhi NEEDS those donation bux!
Giving a shit about proper, quality work matters. Getting proper, quality work done has literally never been easier given the abundance of educated people. So why do we STILL get trash like this every single goddamn day? Why are ALL of these fan TL projects always cursed to have the most retarded ass motherfuckers doing the work on them?

Ironic how attention to detail and correcting mistakes seems to be highly-valued literally everywhere else in every field imaginable BESIDES Japanese-English translation and localization. Absolutely fucking astonishing shit.

Being an autist nitpicking shit that not a single normal human would ever care one iota about is not correcting mistakes, it's being an obnoxious sperg.

That retard doesn't know Japanese and used MTL even as far as 20 years ago. He previously went with the name of Deuce and did a couple of Ys fan-translations. He was extremely disliked over the Neo-Geo Forums.

People kept making fun of Aeon "Translation Squatter/Sniper" Genesis for their fucked track record, but they actually released something passable even if it's missing (>>12222515) and inventing (>>12222478). Despite supposedly having one main 'translator' and three sub-'translators' (!) it literally reads like they trudged through the game once via some AI service assistance. This is depressingly common with modern fan-"translators", so it's sad to see Aeon Genesis resorting to it. You don't actually need to do a good or thorough job, you just need to have a text/front editor and go on a pretend tour.
I don't envy the other translation, it must be so demoralizing to see Gideon "I-Take-Forever-on-Everything-Else" Zhi just sweep the rug out from under you with crap, and it's going to fall on deaf ears because he's been around forever and is running on brand recognition despite the fact he's not even a translator. If it's any consulation, I will say that every 2nd or 3rd fan-translation I've seen after the 1st attempt always justifies itself (unless they're relying on QoL BS).

Reminder that you can be the change you want to see by insisting that these rom hack groups make their work open source and publicly available so you can prevent this bullshit before it ever becomes a problem. You don't even need to look hard - some of them already do it and make it easy to dig through the code and compare the texts.
This should be considered not only the "future" for this shit, but the "standard." People should be able to see exactly what the loooooooooooooocalizers are changing so they can make informed decisions about what they're playing.

>>12227585
Fan-translations are supposed to offer this by default to show that they can be better than official ones. If you're not taking your time to give gamers the best, it's usually a grift for some smalldick's portfolio these days.

They probably intend to remove it if the second one hurries up. They pulled the same sketchy shit on an acquaintance of mine, didn't take the bait.

From the gist of it: nothing major appears to have been censored. That's really all I care about.
I can deal with mildly awkward/cringy dialogue but the "This game has Hitler!" warning spooked me. Anyone playing shit like this should really be prepared for that by now. Super Famicom Wars has Hitler. Dragon Ball has Hitler. Doremon has Hitler. Hitler Hitler Hitler.

Ever since the 4chan hack in the middle of this year, the website got filled with even more automated indian bots and T-people mods who ofuscate for funsies, there is this asshole who flooded the board with Mortal Kombat threads under the excuse of that shitty cash in upscaled with AI ROM bundle that released months ago, then the Sega System floodspam, now them CONSTANTLY derailing romhacking threads, they are doing this for fun, making this board even more worthless that already has become, and YES, they will bully you with warns and bans (usually the latter or preceded by the former first) ilunder the "spam/off topic" nonsense, for pointing that something is wrong, you know who you are.

It's been pretty terrible since.

Why can't romhackers ever work together?
The moment Gideon learned of Lazarus, they should have pooled their resources together and kicked ass. Gideon clearly needs the help anyway. This is the socialmedia age. You'd think people would be better at this by now. There's really no excuse. Don't they ever get it? Nobody likes the misery and confusion that comes with multiple similar hacks. The first necessarily condemns the second to diminishing returns; the second all but must condemn the first for its (lack of) quality control. All the first gets out of it is a brief window of time where they're the only offering. It's Not Cool.
All this makes me want to do is turn on my emulator's machine translation feature in the meantime, and "boycott" Aeon Genesis. It's not like they're some plucky newer group of amateurs out to make a petty name for themselves - they're Internet-Ancient.
