(37) NES Translation A platformer; first in its series Game text translated by another group, they specifically asked for help with the title screen and some graphics text in the game. The group still exists but won't answer any of their emails. Not sure what to do... Accomplished: Translated and inserted: Title screen Added multi-line items so that they entire item text could be displayed In game compressed graphics text - there is only one word Replaced 90% of the original text hack code because the way it was done prevented text from displaying sometimes Corrected specific issues in the script but did not replacing the whole thing Currently: Trying to contact the original group for many months with no response. Otherwise, we are going to have to release the patch ourselves using their work. Ouch!	(36) NES Stage Select Enhancement An Sunsoft platformer Accomplished: Built but permanentely disabled in cheat now enabled Currently: Trying to make sure you start with the correct items when stage is selected	(35) SNES Translation A platformer; main game text translated by another group, but the group died and none of the compressed graphical text, of which there is a lot, or the title screen was translated, nor was the intro story or ending Accomplished: Translated and inserted: All compressed graphics in game text showing all enemy names Compressed graphics title screen Animated sprite text Intro Story and Ending Credits 2/3 of the script updated (to fix important improperly named characters in the original script and make this use a completely original script as we can't release this with the original group as they are dead) Currently: About 1/3 of the script still needs to be updated
(34) NES Stage Select Enhancement An early Tecmo platformer Stage select hack Accomplished: All code dumped, Mapper changed to 0 Currently: Trying to get it work	(33) NES Stage Select Enhancement Ninja Gaiden II Accomplished: Level select and item hack complete Currently: Need to limit how much ninpo you are allowed to select on each stage and then make the stage understand you've already picked that ninpo up	(24) NES Controller Localization that became so much more... An action game; second in the series... It's 100% ready for release, but I'm holding off because I started on major final enhancement. Accomplished: Level editor can now save to battery and offers many options not originally available Currently: We are planning on releasing this as-is as it's an awesome totally complete hack like it is and DvD doesn't feel like killing himself completely programming an entire new level editor. We're just really worried about people using doner carts for this one because the hack uses VRC6 with battery. Please don't sacrifice any VRC6's, just use a flash cart as intended...
(7) SNES Translation Battle Racers A pretty fun cart racer for the SNES that uses the same DSP chip as Super Mario Kart (1 or 1B). It might be the only SNES cart racer not released in the US. Accomplished: Uncompressed Graphics Translated/Hacked Currently: Searching for Compressed Graphics

(12) NES Super Little Chinese Kung-Fu Ninja Hero Brothers 3 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 Translated.Games translated Super Chinese 3 before we got very far. No biggie. Although, I really love the title screen we made. The title makes fun of the total lack of consistency that Culture Brain did in their translations of all of the titles in this series after they took it over from Namco. I mean, they are NOT Ninjas. They are Chinese. Oh, well. Of course this is nothing compared to the title that befits the translation of Super Chinese World 2: Super Little Chinese Galactic Kung-Fu Ninja Hero Brothers World Defender Boy 2

(9) NES Esper Dream 2 Aeon Genesis translated Esper Dream 2 before we got very far. No biggie, that just made the game more fun for me to play!

PC Non Directional Translations's GundeadliGne DvD completed most of the 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. It was a very tedious task. Unfortunately it will never be released since the official translation can now be purchased. :-(
