List of all PCE translation projects.

[goldenband]

I've been playing the translated ROM of Gaia no Monshou lately. There's a lot about the game I like, and I had fun with it at first, but the stringent time requirements and cumulative points thing make it into such a chore. I don't mind replaying scenarios to see if I can do better, but having those replays be essentially mandatory and dependent on a RNG is rough.

I guess there's no FAQ out there telling me the approximate minimum number of points I should have at the start of each battle -- is there? I've managed to complete the first couple scenarios without losing any men & in the allotted time or less, but I'm not sure if I need to do even better than that to have a realistic chance in later levels.

Not going to post a link, but I'll say a couple of good ones.

There aren't all that many like the super famicom, but the list is growing.

Ys IV is pretty outstanding, absolutely essential especially if you like Ys 1 and 2

SonSon II is great if you're a capcom fan, based on black tiger but also like wonder boy in monster land

Legend of Valkyrie is a fun arcade port, a top down shooter in a fantasy setting with branching paths

Also, make sure to follow the phenomenal Xanadu 1 and 2 translations. They won't be released till the optional dubs are done. Cream of the crop 16-bit legends

Gai Flame is the final game in the series on the PCE, actually. The patch will drop later this year, since it's already partly done. The final game improves upon many issues present in Gaia no Monshou, but it's very easy in my opinion.
Also, wasn't someone working on Nazo no Masquerade? IIRC that's the final untranslated HuCard adventure game, or is there anything else?

[goldenband]

Cool! I'll check out Gai Flame for sure when the translaton patch becomes available.

Meanwhile I found a playthrough of Gaia no Monshou on Niconico, so I'll just write down the points that the player has at the start of each level and post it here when I've made the list (Niconico doesn't let you skip around in videos...). I figure if his/her playthrough is successful, then those are good benchmark numbers.

Anyone know if the River City Ransom CD game was ever translated to English?

Thanks.

We do.

It was not.

Hey guys, I'm looking for a list of all the PCE games that have been translated, and ones that are currently being translated.

SuperPlay keeps an updated list in his dedicated thread, my projects are listed as well. Scroll down to "Homebrew, PD, Translations."

Yes, I believe MooZ was (is) working on Nazo no Masquerade.
I can think of at least a couple more digital comics on hucard (Sadakichi Seven and Chikudenya Tobe)

Nice to hear Gai Flame is in the works. I look forward to spending some time with it~

Spinner 8 recently made a list of all the untranslated PCE games as well -> https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Y9eeNPz0gusXpHR177TXGOVxP8sFouMiHzp3Pivv2kw/edit#gid=1935945707. All the credit obviously goes to him. The list is updated regularly, whenever a new patch comes out.
He's in the process of making a separate list for PCE-CD I believe.

That game is quite simplistic actually, it's mostly just an updated Gaia no Monshou with a more prominent, overarching plot. Still, it's not that bad, just doesn't stand out too much nowadays. It had a really tiny script for a game of this sort as well. I guess X-SERD was the priority for the company back then.

Also, make sure to follow the phenomenal Xanadu 1 and 2 translations.

I didn't know those were happening....    better wait on playing 3 then.

I've had them on the shelf for years now. Started 1 and 3 just enough to see them in action for a bit. I picked them up because some of the art I saw in various places reminded me of Kia Asamiya's art (Silent Mobius) and...    well, that and they were action RPG's on the 'Engine. Actually I remember a buddy showing me some of 3 when it had first come out now thinking about it.

Are you, perhaps, confusing the Legend of Xanadu games with something else? There are only 2 games in the LoX series.

I'm thinking he confused them with the Xak series. I wouldn't mind seeing a translation of Xak 1&2 one day, but if any platform should get it*, it probably should be the X68000 - the PC Engine CD compilation, while good in its own right, guts out about 60% of the music tracks, which is just too big a loss.

*the MSX HAS a translated version of Xak 1 and 2, but I'd prefer something with a bit smoother presentation!

60%?  Yikes!  Still, I'd love to see it translated!

Yes, Xak...    not sure why I mixed that up.
