I probably ought to mention this.

ME (Aeon Genesis)

DTN Translation Division

It seems someone’s finally cracked the compression scheme that Shining Force 3 uses and a patch is finally going to happen it seems.

RPGOne

Game: Mother 1+2
Genre: RPG
Original Language: Japanese
System: Game Boy Advance

Comments: Partial translation of the re-release of these two great games for the GBA. Only part 1 is fully translated, and using the original US release, they are trying to attract some skilled translator. It also needs some asm hacking to be done.

Game: Chrono Trigger
Genre: RPG
Original language: Japanese
System: SNES/Super Famicom

Um, me…

Game: Kalin no Tsurugi
Genre: Action RPG
Original Language: Japanese
System: Famicom Disk System

Comment: Done. Unfortunately, due to how the translation programming was handled, you’ll need DOS or a DOS emu to set it up correctly.

Genre: Maze Action
Original Language: (well, see comment)
System: Famicom/NES

Comment: A mini-project, actually. Honestly, all that needed to be translated was the Japanese title and an instance of Engrish. But inserting that title did take a bit of work.
