Current Projects

Games that we are working on...

(14) NES Pocket Zaurus - Swords of the Ten Kings It's a platformer by Bandai with in game quizzes and crosswords in the manual. It's now a joint project with Stardust Crusaders. Accomplished: In game sign graphics hacked, Title screen hacked, Kanji font tiles translated and inserted, Code hacked to change single lines of text to double lines, DTE coding done, full script inserted, some of manual translated, harmony7 cleaned up script translation Currently: Testing existing translation of game, editing existing translation manual	(15) FDS BodyConQuest I A 2 disk action RPG Dragon Quest parody by Hacker International. DvD was intersted in doing an FDS game for something a little different... Accomplished: FDS BIOS reverse engineered, Items, Equipment, & Spells Translated and inserted, 3 text areas & ending text translated in inserted, ending credits edited Currently: Waiting for harmony7 to translate remaining text areas	(12) NES An traditional RPG but with action battles; third in the series... Finding the pointer tables for this was extremely difficult, but DvD finally found the pointer to the first NPC! Accomplished: Title Screen Hacked, Script Located, Pointer to first NPC finally found Currently: Aishsha translating
(8) SNES Battle Racers A pretty fun cart racer for the SNES that uses the same DSP chip as Super Mario Kart. It might be the only SNES cart racer not released in the US. The only problem is DvD is not really ready to devote the time needed to learn the SNES at this time. Accomplished: Uncompressed Graphics Translated/Hacked Currently: Searching for Compressed Graphics

Canceled Projects

Games that someone else translated completely before we got far enough to matter...

(9) NES Esper Dream 2

PC Non Directional Translations's Gundeadligne DvD completed a lot of graphics hacking for this translation, before it had to be abandoned. All of the graphics behind the original text had to be regenerated to allow English text to be put on it. DvD recreated the graphics and added the new text completing a very tedious task. Unfortuntaely it hasn't been released yet and probably never will since the official translation can now be purchased. :(

  He's currently the translator on project (12).
• Shiroi Translations, our retired translator who's main contributions were to our Dragon's of Flame and Portopia projects. We wish her all the best.

• Radical R, the lead beta tester on the Portopia and Romancia projects and a good friend of mine.
  He worked with Demi to release the most recent version of the excellent Radical Dreamers patch.
  He is in charge of Non Directional Translations. They work on translating PC-98 and PC doujin shooting games, among other things.
  
• Pennywise of Stardust Crusaders Translations is a fellow NES translation hacker who always strives to release high-quality translations.
  He is a very prolific NES translator who now is venturing in to FDS and Gameboy. He helped DvD to move the site and save DvD Translations!
  DvD did title screen hack for his re-translation of Mad City, aka Bayou Billy and his first FDS game, Monty on the Run.
  He puts out a lot of translations. He now is working with DvD on our what has now become a joint Pocket Zaurus project.
• King Mike of KingMike's Translations is the one of the most prolific FDS translators.
  DvD contributed a Windows ROM expander for his Popeye no Eigo Asobi and Kaijyu Monogatari Famicom translations.
  The expander program was also included with our Portopia translation. It has now been replaced by our generic ROM expander ROM Expander Pro.
• DQ Translations DaMarsMan gave us access to all of their Glory of Heracles III translation files!
  
• The Spoony Bard toma and friends translated the Glory of Heracles II.
  
• Aeon Genesis I've never chatted with Gideon Zhi, but, he truly has the biggest and one of the fastest translation groups ever.
  The amount of major projects Gideon Zhi has completed is... amazing.

• Red Soul of Dynamic Designs beta tested for the Glory of Heracles project and did the graphics editing of the Glory of Heracles manual. An actual group in this age of solo artists. The whole group does great work. I'm particularly fond of Taloon's Great Adventure and Just Breed.
