I would just like to give this thread a bump, since it's been almost two months since the last status update. :wink:

Having gotten Ys IV out of the way, Arjak continues the finish-the-patch poking! ;)

Well, I have no skills that would allow me to help out at this point, so being a nuisance and forcing status updates is the best I can do! :P

Bonknuts you're right in that the buffer shouldn't matter but for X2 at least it depends if you get lucky :)  When decompressing, X2 will load it's prefilled buffer and somehow it'll get messed up when it decompresses my compressed version that uses 0x00.  Not sure how it's doing it as I can decompress mine and theirs fine regardless but it's some quirk that I must not have included in mine.  So I get around it by just not compressing any of it and just making it look like it is.  Figure that'll work for 99% of the cases hopefully :)  Anything is better then doing a buffer for each block (500+) :D

Edit: Just thought about that you would need to know the original buffer IF they end up using the original/latest LZSS algorithm (I've seen an older one where it doesn't use binary trees).  The original LZSS has a quirk/unintended side effect (I suspect) of RLEing data that matches what's in the original buffer setup.  So in that case, yeah you would need to know how the original buffer is setup :)

LentFilms, what's bad is I have so many I tend to forget about which ones need what work :D

You know, a little late, but welcome to the forums, LentFilms! Did I read that there are 3 brothers total in the Lasagna clan or just you ? You drew the Ys IV stuff, right ? I thought it was interesting that you were merely recent Ys converts, it wasn't something you had grown up with or knew about for all that long.

Thank you.
In total I have 5 brothers including Lasagna and Tim who drew the Ys IV artwork and the fake Rondo of Blood cover. Tim also did the envelope art on the letter we sent to Retronauts and I drew the picture of Adol on the letter itself.

And yeah my brothers and I are new Ys fans, so new that I’ve only really finished one game in the series.
I fist found out about the Ys franchise when Ys Books I & II was released on the Wii's Virtual Console in 2008. I actually avoided the Ys series for a while because of people's comments on the game's "bump and run" gameplay. I only started playing the series in 2010 thanks to sites like Retroware TV, Retronauts, HG101, and XSEED releasing Ys Seven. 2010 was also the same year that Lasagna, Tim, and I all played Sakura Wars 5 together witch indirectly lead to the Ys IV Dub.

Wow, you got my family beat! I only have four brothers and I'm smack dab in the middle! Ain't it great when you have enough siblings to fill up a Turbo Tap? :D

Adding PCE console specific layer on top of that, makes for an interesting challenge (no, not a reference to Ys II).

Ha, all fun and games till someone wins for the third time in a row. Then it's an all out dog fight on the sibling that won, "stares at half broken controllers" :lol:

Wow!  Always great to know someone's waiting on some of the others :D  None of the games in the Yarudora series has any translators as of yet but Filler is interested so maybe after some of the others he's doing... :)  Course anyone who's interested is free to offer *wink wink nudge nudge* ;)  And thanks!  I love doing this :D

There's a surge of activity happening right now. Today was my day off, and I put in a good 8 hours. I know Esperknight's been rocking it, too. I hope we have some amazing news soon.

Also, here's a dude on niconico playing PCE tunes on a piano. Hats off to anyone who can name all the songs just by hearing them (esteban?). :)

http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm2037838

EDIT: In that video, he plays a Monster Maker song at 3:30ish. I checked this game out, and the music in general is impressive. I guess the game's glitchy as hell, though. Too bad. :(


I have to register again to watch the video!

I can't remember my old login info.



ALSO: I concur, Monster Maker does have nice songs ...

Thanks a lot for posting all those links. :)

I've already got the tracks, but Monster Maker is a decent addition to any VGM collection, so I hope others nab them!

Anyway, I stumbled upon that video while watching a LoX2 longplay (for the purpose of searching for specific lines). Niconico definitely has some interesting stuff that you won't find on youtube.

Whenever i look for pce longplay vids i look on nico. Most stuff on YouTube is tool assist vids or just the opening video or even worse some nerds annoying commentary.

SO TRUE. Not that I look for videos often, but whenever I do, I cringe at the results.

No problem. The funny thing is that I had never heard of the game until I was grabbing desktop wallpaper from pcenginebible.uk.love many years ago...Paul had just added a nice desktop image for Monster Maker and I was intrigued.  What is this game?
