I may be doing something horribly wrong, but Bizhawk does not play some videos, only sound (for example, "alcoholic contest" in the Prologue).

		Hopefully 3DO game hacking improves soon. There's some interesting stuff going on, notably with the Open Lara port. There's also a fella doing a port of a very popular 2D bloody fighter from the 90's! Don't wanna say what it is in case they don't want that info out there yet, but I'm sure you can take a wild guess which one it is!

That's actually the intended behavior of the game. Only the PC and LaserActive versions contain all the video scenes. The other ports made a lot of scenes audio only with still frames in order to shrink the game size down to two discs. The PC version is on five discs in comparison.

		Glad this is out! Let's keep translating FMV games

The non-FMV version is available for Switch on the Japanese eShop with full text available in English, I've just been playing it on there...

Thanks again, and all over again!

If you need any graphic editing or sound work done for your future projects, please let me know.

		Thank you. Like you, I was a huge fan of the first game on the NEC PC Engine, and I also got the second game on PCFX, but I had a hard time progressing and never got very far. As a collector, I also bought the game on Saturn (still in its original packaging), and I had already patched my iso game with your translation when you finished the epilogue. Now that it’s complete, I’ll finally be able to play it. I doubt it will be as excellent as the first one, but I’m already excited. A big thanks, man, for the work you’ve done. I tried to launch the game and it works perfectly
