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

[LMS]

I've never got around to playing snatcher and it's time I gave it a peep. Anyone know of the existence of an english patch or if they may be one in development anywhere?

while I'm on the cyberpunk/digital comic subject, I'd like to give the patched bubblegum crash a try too but I don't have a tototek card and I'm not keen on emulation. did anyone ever find away to boot hu-card roms from a cd? I think i remember someone explaining to me why that wasn't possible but the details escape me.

thanks in advance for any info

There is a way, but all the memory calls in the HuCard ROM need to be converted to the memory addresses of the CD-ROM work RAM. So heavy editing of the ROM would be required for it to run.

I think that's the gist of it, anyway.

The guys who are working on the Policenauts translation for Playstation were saying how they were interested in translating the PCE SCD version of Snatcher. One guy went and wrote down all the spoken voice parts from the Sega CD version, but I'm not sure if anything has happened beyond that.

Yeah, you get to see some corpse breasts and a 14 year old girl showering.

It totally changes the experience, it's really not even the same game.  I hope a patch gets released soon!

I DO hope a patch gets released soon. Playing the PCE version after playing the Sega CD version gives a different, unique view on the game. The music itself makes it quite a different experience. Nothing major, but it's nice.

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.

Go play translated Policenauts!

On 3do?!?  I'll get right on that!

Not to sound like a dickwad, but you can play the MSX version in English!

[BigusSchmuck]

But I want it on the PCE! And its by far the best version too! Especially the music.

I dunno, the MSX one is pretty good, and the SCC music is really nice.  It's Konami, using their special soundchip at its finest...

By far? I don't want to get in an argument over which versions best (seen way to many of these) but both version are very close to each other and many even prefer the Sega CD version.
and..

Go play translated Policenauts!

Seriously, I liked Policenauts better then Snatcher *gasp*, not that I'm saying Snatcher isn't worth playing, they both are, just Policenauts is the better option in my opinion (though I know some people would strongly disagree with me).
I even wrote a huge guide on Junker HQ a wile back on how to get it patched and running.

Play Snatcher on SGCD and Policenauts translated on PS1.

I have played Snatcher on SGCD and Duo side by side. I cant say Duo is a better game, just localized differently. Like different Konami characters in a bar, and the more mature scenes. But honestly the SGCD has good voice acting for the time and is a great version.
