    I could give a damn if this wasn't on PSP, oh well, you can't have everything.

    I just add that VC2 runs great on jpcsp. VC3 should be the same.

    Good luck to the translators, since it will be one of the first translation projects for PSP. So they will have to create most of the tools themselves.

    :(

    Err, no?

    Translation wise I'd wouldn't call this 'one of the first' as I've been playing a translated Monster Hunter 2nd G for a while, and as for tools there's hardly a lack of them to decrypt or play around with psp umd images (thanks mostly in part to the rampant homebrew & piracy scene on said system) so the system specific issues are mostly taken care of.

    Anyway, I do hope they've got the patience to see it thorugh to the end, VC2 was a more than a little lackluster despite its fun combat mechanics, as I've heard #3 is a better display. Hell, I'm hoping they'll have it released as a UMD compatible patch as they progress as it's a lot more convenient to keep up to date than manually patching an iso for each patch release.

    Maybe not, I think one of the PSP Idolmaster games has been translated.

    Thanks for the info, guyse.

    Leeched and tested VC3 Extra Edition, it seems to be working fine:

    Wow, the guy translating Rance VI is a huge jerk:

    He posts:

    Hey guys, I have some bad news...
    Due to some real life family issues and personal commitments, I can't continue the Rance VI translation.
    While I was dedicated, things that are much more important have sprung up and I've put it on hold, I may come back to it at some point but it's not looking good right now...

    I'll detail what happened in spoilertags because it's not really related to the thread.
    Bahahaha, as if I'd do such a thing.
    I love you guys too much so of course I wouldn't ever quit.
    26182/104155 lines translated. 25.1% complete.
    The guy is fast as fuck
    :smug: .

    Also seems like Rance 3 and 8 got new translator, so I might end doing another LP before the year is finished.

    I know you guys didn't really like Rance Quest (8) but I'm digging the humour and characters so far. The grinding is a bit meh though.

    The best part of that game is the humor indeed, and a particularly moe and kawaii character.

    Look at those teeth.

    She is Dragonborn! I mean, Rancespawn .

    BTW, Crooked Bee, why wasn't this thread stickied yet?

    If When DU decides to merge this subforum back with GG, it could lead to a massive :incline:.

    Out of curiousity, are there any rules for the style of game to post here, or will any ol' translated game do?

    Because, I don't know, let's imagine that someone came across a stat-filled otome dating sim where you have to balance your time between studying, chasing after ze boys, and dropping your weight down from 100kg to become pretty again? Might something like that pique the interest of those browsing this board (figurative speaking of course ;) )?

    Also, may it be possible to sort of manage all the scattered about name droppings into a nice pretty post at the top of the thread?

    The only rule is for the game to be translated and japanese. Other than that, have fun.

    As for having a list... maybe someday. ;)

    Go back to "Black Cat" account and I shall make such list.

    :rpgcodex:

    But remember that this thread covers mostly games for "new" platforms (post SNES and SMD).
    And Rance series. :roll:

    Wait, are you telling me that Drog & Black Cat are the same person? Sweet Stabbity Doo, that's going to take some time to process....

    Anyway, since I guess it's time for me to add something constructive and post some translated amusements.

    First, since my eye's been twitchin' horribly at its lack of mention so far, here's the Monster Hunter Portable 3rd Patch. There, said it, moving on.


    Second, as previously mentioned: Girlish Love Revolution for the DS is in English now!
    (Though you need to patch the Korean version)

    As previously mention, it's an Otome VN/Dating Sim where instead of playing the faceless pretty girl (that we all know you are inside) you play the role of a former child beauty pageant star (now in highschool, weighing 100 kilos, and less than pretty) who decides to turn her life around when the 5 most popular boys in school move into her apartment building. I could ramble on, but interested parties are free to attack the Google for more infos, and there's a page with screenies accessible from the above link.

    Of course not. BC would never waste her precious time on some shitty unplayable menu navigation simulator like Arcanum.

    Heey, RK47 - you're gonna love this!

    :dance:

    Crooked Bee

    Is it possible for you to split my initial post into 2, so I can create list of games in 1st post, as stabby-sensei asked?

    Not technically possible, I'm afraid. But I think I've found a workaround. :smug:

    See if it works for you now.
