PC-98 chads, christmas starts now.Amy's fantasies (Aimmy to Yobanaide) has been translated today.Get it at the usual place.
Isn't that just a backport of existing English script from the IBM PC version to PC-98?
>>12267239>the usual placeBehind the train station. Come naked.
>>12267239>"new translation">look inside>copypaste job of an existing onefuck off with garbage nothingburger shill/advertisement shit like this. Christ.
>>12267249>>12267268>Uses (mostly) the original Windows version English script by Himeya SoftGood enough for me.
>>12267239I bet this is a porn game
>>12267369Only one way to find out. The translator is infamous for his low interest in sex. Pic related.
>>12267239>PC-98 chadsthe venn diagram of people who can call themselves "PC-98 chads" and people who are desperate for translations are two distinct circles.
>>12267439This is impossible, as a Venn diagram by definition MUST display all possible combinations of sets, regardless if they actually exist. The picture you are describing is an Euler diagram.
>>12267289Isn't the Windows version better, since it's fully voiced?
>>12267467fucking gottem
>today
that has been translated ages agoyou can even play it in your browser:https://tss.asenheim.org/amys-fantasies.html
>>12267591I'm sorry :(
Sex 2 translation when?
>>12267616Whoa, slow down. We're still struggling to get the first Sex
>>12267239>Female Protagonist uh you can keep it
>>12267249Man, I swear I played this game back in the day, I played a lot of those pc hentai vn ports, like three sisters story and one I vaguely recall being set in a hidden mansion in the forest, such fond memories of this stuff.
>>12268972Those silly stories like Amy or Time Stripper Mako were fun.>set in a hidden mansion in the forestCould it be Nocturnal Illusions? I really liked the atmosphere of this one.
>>12269472Oh, yeah! I think it was, thanks, that's been in the back of my head for like 20 years now. I did play Time Stripper Mako too! There was one, I can't remember the name, it was in retrospect a tokemeki memorial clone.
>>12267239It's a day early, but it's nice to see the annual PC98 thread before I make it on Christmas.
>>12269472>Nocturnal IllusionsI remember downloading this in 2001 or so and getting frustrated two minutes later because I was too horny to care about the story. So I deleted it straight away. Is it worth playing nowadays?
>>12269512Well I downloaded a copy so I'm going to find out.
>>12267239I still have hope for Battletech PC-98 and X68000k
>>12269472>Time Stripper MakoEven back then I always wondered why it said arse instead of ass. And why, presumably, some british person translated it.
Is the LoH4 PC-98 Anon who was trying to hack the game for a possible translation still around here?
>>12269484Oh, it's that time of the year again. Happy Lakers anniversary, Natsune-anon>>12270137Yeah. I only managed to hack the intro and a few menus so far.The game menus and gameplay-related text (items, spells, ranks...) are located in an executable file that will be tricky to alter. It's pretty cramped in there.As for the story dialogs, the game has a file for each zone. A zone has a lot of information, like what map file to use, what tileset, what character sprites and, more importantly for us, the scripts to play. So far, I've listed all commands used by the script engine and still trying to figure out how the zone files work.
>>12270191Damn, this looks intense. How long did you spend learning all this?
>>12271267I'm now used to x86 assembly and using IDA. And after trying to hack a few PC-98 games, it's a bit like playing crosswords : start with the obvious parts or the ones you're familiar with, then you can eventually deduce the rest and learn new tricks.For this game, I haven't kept track of the time as it's amusing so far. Writing tools is the hardest part for me, and I still have to figure out the zone/script files. The script extraction will take me a bit of time because of this. Anyway, it's nice of Falcom to release a game that runs on low-end PCs even in 1996. And the tile art is really good.
>>12271787It sounds really interesting and I'd like to try just for the fun/challenge of it.Sadly, I have zero knowledge in coding/assembly/whatever and zero jap knowledge (that part isn't too bad, I'd machine translate and spice it up, WD style) :(
>>12271861>It sounds really interesting and I'd like to try just for the fun/challenge of it.you should consider channeling that excitement to something useful like actually learning japanese.
>>12271864I'm not interested in learning japanese, Japan and japanese culture.
>>12270191Translation Anon from the other month here. I've completed a first English draft of the script I was working on. Some things to point out about that.- I used "英雄伝説IV初期版ゲームシナリオ原本" as the source for the text. This is a book that came with the Red Package edition for the Windows version/remake and contains the unedited script from the *early development stages* of the original PC-98 version of the game. This means that there are some plot points, scenarios and system designs that were not implemented or were later modified in the retail PC-98 version. While the collection claims to be an "unmodified complete version", turns out not all the scripts are present. Specifically, the open scenarios only cover the Guilds in Phildin and Guia, omitting commission events for all other locations (likely because including everything would have far exceeded the book's 400-page limit). Fortunately, the main story remains largely intact; despite minor additions and deletions compared to the retail version, it is largely consistent, so a decent amount of it can still be used for translating the game.- The last third of the book's contents lists some revised scripts, with content that is relatively closer to the retail version. Pic related is the revised ending text; the earlier text was the same except for the underlined words.- Most of the scenario manuscript is organized by town and location rather than chronology. The dialogue of town NPCs at different stages of the story is grouped into a single chapter; for example, the starting village chapter (ED4-4.TXT and ED4-5.TXT) includes not only NPC dialogue from before departure but also the dialogue from the second part of the game.>>12271787The game looks very pretty and the combat is also an improvement over PC-98 White Witch, but man, it's a shame the game got rushed. Looking at the same prairie screens being reused so frequently can become tiring.Anyways, thank you again Anon.
>>12267432kek
>>12267432>Don't
>>12269725Yeah, that game is in desperate need of a translation off the DOS transcriptshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CuXhdfKvjesIt is literally comes with a Instant Action mode which became common in Mech2 and onwards
>>12272643Woah, the whole script seems to be massive and I haven't even tried to locate all the script files in every archive yet, but I assume the text is also grouped by location in the game. As I said earlier, I'm still struggling with their format, and how to reinsert text without everything crashing. I was more focused on the main game module and editing the menus for now and noticed there are quite a few Spanish terms.Here's a first draft of the title/intro text :https://files.catbox.moe/7kxuw4.zipJust replace the DATA_H.DAT file in the ED4_98 folder of your disk image with this one; using AnexDiet or EditDisk.And here are my notes so far. There are still some approximations and holes though:https://pastebin.com/YQ4W7nVr>Looking at the same prairie screens being reused so frequently can become tiring.Agree they were a bit lazy with the screens between towns.
