Prospect of Making Some OMG RAREZ! Game Boots

[DragonmasterDan]

You could just play the game through and record the sound from the PSP's headphone jack. Then trim the file to size with the help of Turborip. Easy as hell, really.

I can't give two shits about translating Drac X though. I has more text in the closing credits than it does in the entire rest of the game, and the credits are already English. The spoken word is...what, 5 minutes, if that? Its a nearly non-lingual game and a legit copy is barely more expensive than a new PS3 game.

No argument here, I think it's the single most common game registered on PCEdaisukaisen. It requires very little English and the PSP English release can be found for around 10-20.00 max if anyone really wanted to find it.

I'd much rather see Ys IV glass mastered.

Ys IV would be a good one, but it needs english voice acting done first. Without, it just doesn't seem worth it in my opinion. Perhaps the community here could make that a reality? We have seen it possible with MSR... why not Ys IV?

I'd rather see Ys IV as well. However, It's been a dream of mine since I got Drac X a few years back to know what the hell they are saying.

I don't have a PSP either.

I haven't looked into it but I while back I vaguely remember reading that the guys who did the first Ys IV patch were working on updating the patch with english voice acting.

They eventually decided not to go forward with dubbing it.

I thought the Ys IV dubbing project had been dumped but then picked back up again by someone else. Was it then dumped again?

I was unaware of anyone else picking it up.

I may be wrong, but I thought I read somewhere that basically all the recording had been completed by one group, and the only thing left to do was the mixing and mastering.

The LoX:II dub is basically done, by the way. I'm going to get a couple lines redone here and there, but otherwise, it's essentially complete.

[ParanoiaDragon]

I could be wrong, but I haven't heard anything about it lately, so I assume Ys 4 was dumped again.

I voted for Space fantasy zone!
But any translated jp game would be great.. I've tried to patch some but allways seem to do something wrong because it never works.
As for the US games well some of the more "ebay-expensive" ones would also be great. but more intressed in the translated jp-games!!!

Something that isn't available at all in published form is much more worthwhile than a straight reprint.

Sapphire still isn't that cheap and available and bootlegs still sell for as much as or more than the original Turbo versions of some of the titles in the poll (and even real copies of Sapphire), which means that it would still be more worthwhile to bootleg it than those games.

Except we all have copies.  Anyone who doesn't can ask nice and get one.  Maybe we don't all have packaged bootlegs, but resources are better spent making new glass-mastered discs to help gamers play more rare games on real hardware than making extra facsimiles for half-assed collectors too lazy to either print their missing packaging or buy the real thing.

I think the Space Fantasy Zone print by Anime4Ever is really decent, I personally don't think it warrants an improved version.

edit: the version I'm talking about is this one:

Except for the ridiculous price   Plus looks to be "sold out".

Well then, why waste money on packaging at all and not just have a few different games pressed as disc-only for the price of a single packaged game?

Personally, I'd rather have professionally made inserts and manuals and have to burn my own cdr (whether professionally labeled or not) than the other way around. I'm still thinking more about fan translations and unreleased games though.

Most of the Turbo games we're talking about don't go for too much. Why does anyone need Air Zonk in english anyway? Dynastic Hero is the only CD game that isn't available too often and goes for quite a bit. But the only benefit of going to the trouble of bootlegging it would be so that a single guessing game is a little easier (if we're talking about simply helping people play on real hardware). I may play through a lot of gaijin protected games, but I literally guessed randomly the few times I've played through the import and it wasn't a big deal. The other thing to keep in mind is that this isn't some original game that we can only fully appreciate by playing the rare Turbo version of. The Genesis version can be bought CIB for $10 and is always available.

I suggest doing any Turbo games only after all the unreleased, translated and better expensive and/or rare PCE games have been done.
