wtf why is it that im the center for attacks every time. It's like no one can ever joke with me or just be nice to me... A million others say things and im the one who gets the singled out stuff. All i did was post about translating Lunar SSS on saturn.. It wasn't that stupid.. I can link you to some psx japanese translation projects who have 100 percent completed translating games if you think im ridiculous. |

I don't think you are ridiculous at all. It's just that only talking about a translation will never achieve anything. Someone actually has to get in there and do something about it. If wasn't going to be you, then who did you have in mind? |

The problem with SS translations is largely interest. PSX translations are fine due to the large fan base, but the skills required to be able to translate a game are not trivial. The technical difficulties of extracting what are usually embedded, in-house text formats from any game are often insurmountable. A technically competent programmer with fluent Japanese/English skills are rare - rarer when you consider the size of the fan base. Eh...besides you can get TSS for Sega CD and PSX - the demand for a translation is hardly there... (Nice enough for you? |

Yes, I fully understand both of your points mal and curtis. I just thought it would be cool, I didn't expect anyone to go "I will do that now." Heh, I just thought some of you programmers or Hex Editors may find this interesting. I know it has been thought of... Anyways yea, that is all I am asking just to joke around with me and be nice |

The thought of having a translated version of a popular Japanese game in your hands seems tempting to a lot of people. However, it involves the hard work of many volunteers (unless you got money) and a heap of resources. I'm sure D-BOY or others in here can explain in sufficient detail what kind of a pain in the a** it can become to mess around in such a game. And it's the hard work and all the problems you might face that scares people off. So if you think this project would be "hella cool", you can go on writing messages on here, or maybe you can just take some time and learn the tools of the trade. This is not meant to be a flame or anything, but if you want to see it happen on Saturn, you need to get the ball rolling somehow. Don't expect too much from other translators or programmers on here, most of them got their own projects. They are open for discussion and able to help, as long as the question is a more specific one. Now, I don't know what your background with Saturn is, but if you find this project appealing enough, why not go into programming yourself? Learn the basics, take your time, read the documentation in the developer section, get your TAKtools out |

Geez, sorry on there, dude. I didn't even knew that the rest of the forum was picking on you already. Absolutely nothing personal, but the way you posted sounded really n00bish and retarded, like if you were saying:
Sorry, bu I had to smack some reality upon you... do not take it personal. This is an internet forum after all. Also, if you look at the DEV forums from time to time, you'll see ongoing translation projects, and the trouble they are having to go on. You can't then ask people to shift from games that never had a US release, to games that were translated in other systems, making it 100% possible for you to understand the story. |
