Translation site romhacking.net gone?

[SignOfZeta]

The last update I saw in 2017 for Tengai Makyou Zero is that it's still pretty much in the same stalled position it was a decade ago. Nothing is going to happen until a programmer is found who is willing and able to insert the translation.

There was a recruiting drive for the project on romhacking a few months ago, resulting in programmer(s) and an artist volunteering. There have been page-and-pages of updates and screenshots, and the translation is now supposedly close to finished.

That's awesome! I have to say though, it is kinda sad that the first Tengai game to be fan translated is some weird f*cked up SFC thing, the 4th game. However, I'm sure the way things are going with PCE translations these days I suppose it's only a matter of time before I'm hearing "Welcome welcome, quack quack!" re dubbed into English.

Ku wa ku. Ku wa ku.

Tom (the translator) said on romhacking that he wants to translate the PCE games ... but IIRC, he doesn't want to do any dubs.

He was historically working with EsperKnight on Ziria.

EsperKnight sure did start a lot of projects.

Aw man. I hope they aren't down for good. That sucks.

Well if they did have to take all Nintendo related stuff down at least that will give people more incentive to do other systems than the almighty snes.

That twitter is fake. He's posting cringy /v/ and donald trump memes now. It's 100% a troll.

The romhacking.net page says the site is still alive. NightCrawler said in an email that the server died and needs to be rebuilt https://twitter.com/CuttingRoomWiki/status/842543088815890433

It might take a while, but at least the site isn't dead.

The forums are back up now ... looks like only a few days worth of posts were lost.

Great news!

Phew! 

[roflmao]

Woo hoo!

EsperKnight sure did start a lot of projects.

And broke a lot of hearts by the end.

They need to take a snapshot of all the patches they host and put them up on a torrent. Even it was only done once a year it would be very beneficial.

You could probably just do like an initial snapshot, then yearly packs if wanted.  I doubt they want to encourage that however.
