So f*ckin Epic

How would that work? 

Have a JP copy and a cart to flash the translation?

And I forget.  But there was Snatcher. But there is another Kojima game he did similar but in space for either the Sega Cd or Daturn. Memory is working against me. But there is a fan translation. How do you play it on a home system?  I saw the website awhile back about it but I don't remember the particulars.

It's pretty easy. You download an ISO (or make your own) and use an IPS patch on it.

Lol, that's pretty funny.

How's the Princess Crown translation coming by the way?  I was playing it for awhile in Japanese but when I heard there was going to be a translation I decided to wait to play it.

Inquiring minds want to know

The translation is done. It's just a matter of getting the text engine to work properly. Also, there is some text that is stored as images which we'll have to edit. It's mostly up to the hacker.

Thanks for the update!  I know the text for Cosmic Fantasy Stories on the MegaCD has been fully translated too and is waiting for someone to do the insertion as well.

This is so awesome. I hope this leads to a Saturn ever drive soon. Also equally awesome is the princess crown translation.

Just so I'm sure, this is just to play CDRs right? Nothing at all to do with loading games from the AR memory.
Just my opinion, but the v3 saturn modchips are so easy to install...this seems more of a proof of concept than a replacement for them. That damn cart slot is easily broken I wouldn't want to keep swapping out carts...even just for the purpose of flashing the cards themselves.
But. Maybe I'm missing something?

That's my take on it too.  But there are some people who consider any modification to a console sacrilege, or that don't want to touch a soldering iron at all.  I think this is a good solution for them, but modchip is so nice once you have it in.  Just pop in the CDR and gogogo!

I just tried with one of these



and it worked great. Will come in handy if I need to test something on my Japanese Saturn.

Awesome, it's so handy to have now!

I hope you don't have official memory carts ;-)

I imagine most people run the action replay 4m plus instead, official cards are not real useful much nowdays. Since the pcb is also thicker on the aftermarket stuff you probably couldn't go back to stock anyway.

I have an extra one of these laying around. I'll have to give this a shot.
