Snatcher english patch? and booting hu-card roms from CD

[Black Tiger]

Sorry about raising the dead on this thread, but I for one would love to see the sega cd english text/voice reinserted into the pc engine version.

A translated version of PCE Snatcher would be cool and I don't mind if the Sega-CD script is used as a base and touched up, but I'd hate to have the terrible Sega-CD acting used. When the Sega-CD version was anounced, I had a specific idea in mind of what the worst possible dubbing would be like and described it to friends. Then I rented the Sega-CD version and it turned out exactly as I feared.

I don't think that a translated a PCE version is pointless because of the Sega-CD port, but I personally am not interested in the Sega-CD port being slapped onto the PCE version.


The PCE and Sega-CD versions are at least slightly different in every scene and very different in many scenes.

Have you seen the going price on Ebay for the SGCD version these days? Its insane!

So burn a disk.

If the PCE version was translated you'd be burning a disk anyway.

For one I don't own a sega cd (don't plan on getting a genesis and sega cd unless its an xeye), for two I rather play the game as it was intended, not a censored version. Yeah, I would burn it anyway for the pce, but I guy can hope if there was a translation that someone would press it. ^^

Use emulation. That's how I played it.

I have no idea why people care so much over the censorship in the Sega CD version.

The only thing they changed violence wise was when a dogs stomach gets ripped open and its organs are pulsating, in the Sega CD version they removed the pulsating bit, you still see all the gore just not animated.

They also censored some mild nudity but again nothing to even care about. Aka now when you kill that female Snatcher its top doesn't fall off and you don't see anything during a certain shower scene (she was 14 in the PCE version, changed to 18 in SCD).

Essentially the only people that would be upset over this are 12 year old boys or people that have some sort of mental disorder when it comes to removing something from the original source.

They also censored a lot of the text, making Gillian a bit less of a lecher.  Where's the fun in that?

[Duo_R]

Just burn it

Less of a lecher? As in he's more so in the PCE version?

If what you want is unadulterated horny kojima writing then play anyone of his MGS games.
...or Policenauts, there's nothing censored there.

It isn't so much about getting the game translated, its about how VERY little we have seen in the fan sub community for the PCE. I would think this would be a good starting point. As I have stated before, its great we got a few fan translated games and I'm thankful for that, BUT only a dozen for a 20 year old system whereas we literally have over 200 for the snes is a bit insane.
Done ranting now.

[Duo_R]

Ok good point. Now who here will translate it for us? :-)

[SamIAm]

Don't look at me. I think the Sega CD one's just fine.

Yep.

That's not at all what I was getting at.  You seem to be under the false impression that the Sega and PCE versions are virtually identical, with the only changes being stuff that would appeal to those that giggle at fart jokes.

Let's get back to making HuCards playable from CD's, shall we?

What freeware programs are best for making this a probability?

Also what are the best CD-R's to use in a Turbo-CD/Duo?

Verbatim sucks, I haven't had any luck with Phillips either and TDK just isn't good enough so, who makes the best ones for the  job?

If Mindrec really used CD-R's for Meteor Blaster then, what brand were they and what burning method was used?

I have Tru's burning guides for CDRWin and whatever I've burned in the past seems to check out with TocFixer but, I can't get anything to run in my Duo.

I have an all original Meteor Blaster and it works as perfectly in my Duo as any other original so, does anyone know what brand and type, these were?

Also, if multiple HuCards were put on CD, how would one go about making a menu interface?

Thank you for using the search function.

Taiyo Yuden silvers.

Learn to program for the Turbob.  Failing that google 'superhucard' and check these forums for a discussion of its limitations (small roms only to fit within the CD's RAM and many do not work 100%).

If you are just trying to burn downloaded isos, that's your first problem.

There aren't "programs" to make HuCards work off of a CD, you have to do real actual programming and essentially reprogram each game to a certain extent. There aren't many people who are dying to have roms play off of a CD, only a bunch of people who think it would be neat and would appreciate the effort.

I think that any real effort to get roms on CD to work would be best spent getting only Magical Chase Turbo and PCE to work. Anything else would be bonus to most people.

Yeah maybe it will drive down the cost of Magical Chase. Then again, you could always get a flash cart or wait for everdrive. More info, check this thread out:
