		kinda... i have decided that im gonna try to do a translation of saturn games as a hobby (yeah simple as that ) mind you that im not a novice with computers i have been a C programmer for a long time and stuff (i could been spend hours talking about referencials and stuff but this is not just the point) the deal is... what would be the "survival guide" for the saturn translator? the only question that i can think now is about which kind of encoding the saturn uses to display japanese characters but im pretty sure that more questions will pop out and it would be sort of cool assembly a doc containing that stuff so people that is willing to translate game dont need to rediscover the wheel every time

		If you start translating might I suggest you translate Lunar SSS for saturn into US. That would be awesome.

		Just stay away from Magic School. I think even the publishers recognize that game was a plotless piece of trash.

		the only question that i can think now is about which kind of encoding the saturn uses to display japanese characters Saturn uses the same encoding as PC - whatever the programmer wants.
