[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Anearth walk through site going away]

Thanks for the support and offers guys! I plan to have the files available for distribution soon possibly with some added notes if I can still find them.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Anearth walk through site going away]

My Anearth Fantasy Stories walk through website will be disappearing soon. Hoped to have it up until the translation came out but that may not happen in my lifetime.

Project dead or just resting?

[Localizations, Games, Apps, Docs / Re: Valkyrie no Densetsu English translation patch released]

Thanks for this! Much appreciated.

Squeek!?

Welcome to Pilates Island!

[Localizations, Games, Apps, Docs / Re: Anearth Fantasy Stories - Translation Project Thread]

All the magic scrolls, gear and special items are shown that way in the game (yellow text followed by a picture of said item) so yep, very important. Carry on!

[Localizations, Games, Apps, Docs / Re: Anearth Fantasy Stories - Translation Project Thread]

Squeek! Squeek! Pot boiling?

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Resource for translated PCE manuals?]

Been tried in the past. Almost impossible to find anyone who can/will take the time to actually do the translating.

[Localizations, Games, Apps, Docs / Re: Santatlantean - A FREE Festive Shoot 'em up!]

Very cool. Thanks!

[Localizations, Games, Apps, Docs / Re: Anearth Fantasy Stories - Translation Project Thread]

Anearth? An Earth?

[Localizations, Games, Apps, Docs / Re: Digital Comic]

Color me interested! What type of story are you planning? Sci-fi? Fantasy? Mystery?

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Introducing myself and Turbo Views......]

Enjoyed your Ghost Manor review! I've always thought it was a decent game except for the "waiting for elevators" part and the damn fire pits. Good stuff.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: PC Engine 2015 Calendar]

Thanks! This is going on my desk.

[Localizations, Games, Apps, Docs / Re: Anearth Fantasy Stories - Translation Project Thread]

Glad to see progress on this.

I have a favor to ask of anybody who is playing through the game for the translation. If you have screenshots of items I'm missing in my walk through ( http://m1sz1.com/anearth/gear.html ) or any additional information, corrections etc. please PM me so I can update the site. Of course I'm guessing the site will be even more useless once the game is completely translated but I'd still like to finish it up someday. Thanks!

[News / Re: 09.01.14 - Announcing development of new pcengine-fx.com MEGA-SITE]

This is very good news. Excited to see what you have in store for us!

Yeah, what he ^ said.

I remember it well. Of course I'm older than dirt.

[Localizations, Games, Apps, Docs / Re: Anearth Fantasy Stories - Translation Project Thread]

I've got huge amounts of savestates for this game but unfortunately none in Mednafen. Glad to see it's still being worked on!

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: TG-16 Thunderdrome!!!! 2 games enter 1 leaves Vol. 1 Shumps!]

Soldier Blade for me. GOT is good but SB just gets played way more. One of my favorite TG16 games.

[Localizations, Games, Apps, Docs / Re: Anearth Fantasy Stories - Translation Project Thread]

Wondering if there's been any more progress on this lately?

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Which game is this?]

It is one of the better mahjong games for the system if that makes any difference to you.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Need help with Mahjong Gakuen & Mahjong Gakuen Mild]

The main differences in the game (in academy mode) are that the first girl you compete against is slightly different and also in the "mild" version the girls don't end up completely topless.

Sorry can't help you with the other part because I've never been able to completely finish that mode either (without hacking at least).

Still waiting on someone who will translate my script dump of this game! 

[Localizations, Games, Apps, Docs / Re: Anearth Fantasy Stories - Translation Project Thread]

Thanks for the update!

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: WTB: Sexy Idol Mahjong]

Not selling mine but yeah, it's one of the trickier ones to find cheaply. It plays quite a bit differently than most of the other Nichibitsu mahjong games but other than the topless rock, paper, scissors parts and a very tiny bit of video there's not much to it. Hold out till you find it at a bargain price.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Cleaning turbo cds]

Sticking with the car theme, Mequiar's Scratch X 2.0 also works superb on scratched discs.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: The Official "The Brothers Duomazov" Thread]

Yes! Been looking forward to the Anearth review for a while now and it couldn't have come at a better time. Here's hoping that the renewed interest in this game will lead to a translation soon which would make my guide unnecessary. Great review for a great game!

[Localizations, Games, Apps, Docs / Re: Tra$lation Compen$ation - Anearth Fantasy Stories]

Taking a look at all three.  Anearth I've almost dumped fully as I just need to mark out some of the script commands such as color and other things related to displaying the text.

Good news indeed!

[Localizations, Games, Apps, Docs / Re: Tra$lation Compen$ation - Anearth Fantasy Stories]

Out of curiosity, what character are you playing as?

[Localizations, Games, Apps, Docs / Re: Tra$lation Compen$ation - Anearth Fantasy Stories]

Glad to hear about the progress. The pictures I posted are from the "debug" version of Anearth. The caped crusaders and the 2 guys sitting at the PC in the pics are just a couple of examples of some goofiness added to the original game for some unknown reason.

[Localizations, Games, Apps, Docs / Re: Tra$lation Compen$ation - Anearth Fantasy Stories]

Having played through both versions now more times than a sane person should (would?) I'd say your points about The PCE version are pretty much spot on. The Saturn version does a couple of things different though I would say it's seems a bit easier rather than better balanced. Either way they're both fun.

I wish someone could tell me the whole story behind the demo version -

/CD_8F93AADA-002.png

Who is TWI Soft? What were they planning on doing with this game in 1995?  It's fun to play around with as there are some very interesting screens -

Hope to hear the story on this someday. 

[Off-Topic / Re: Random Pictures Thread]

16 Bit Power Stereo Screen Effect!

Don't know where the pic originally came from. I have hundreds of PC Engine related pics saved on a hard drive. Many of them are from online auctions and such. I just save any that look somewhat interesting to me. Like this one...

[Localizations, Games, Apps, Docs / Re: Tra$lation Compen$ation - Anearth Fantasy Stories]

Well at least this thread brought Anearth some interest again. A couple of things I've noticed about it is that there is English text and alphabet in the game and not an extreme amount of text. There is also a the debug version of the game available which may or may not help out. If anyone does take it upon themselves to give it a go, I've played through it many times and would be willing to do whatever I could to help out.

Thanks for the input on the mahjong game (Mahjong Gakuen). I have ran the text through every online translator I could find and also Atlas machine translation which as you can guess gave very mixed results. I have screenshots of every "spoken" part in the game and even have them grouped together by each person speaking if that would help anyone. As for the mahong terms, I already have those done for the most part though I'm sure there are some in the other text as well. Hmmmm....just got another idea....

[Localizations, Games, Apps, Docs / Re: Tra$lation Compen$ation - Anearth Fantasy Stories]

It seems very hard to me to find anyone to do the translation part. For example, the text file in my original post isn't very large (relatively) but since it's from a mahjong game, no one is interested. I posted it on Romhacking forums and asked anyone there to give me a price on translating it but not a single person responded. Luckily, I've got the menus, locations and mahjong terms translated and (half-assed) inserted so I'll just carry on from there for now.

[Localizations, Games, Apps, Docs / Re: Tra$lation Compen$ation - Anearth Fantasy Stories]

SamIAm - I'm really looking forward to Xanadu II and appreciate the work you guys are putting into it. I promise not to pay you for it when it's complete.    Seriously though, I understand what you're saying about money mucking up things at times.

The Saturn version would be pretty cool since they're essentially the same game but it still doesn't interest me as much as the PCE version.

[Localizations, Games, Apps, Docs / Re: Tra$lation Compen$ation - Anearth Fantasy Stories]

It's been on a couple of peoples lists over the years. Nightwolve, you may even remember this, but many years ago there was a group of about 7 or 8 of us offering money for someone to translate it and I think the reward was up to something like $600. Of course at that time it wasn't really even considered to be possible.  

Like I said, I'm sure no one would go out of their way to do it just for the money but consider it my preorder if they do.

[Localizations, Games, Apps, Docs / Tra$lation Compen$ation - Anearth Fantasy Stories]

I know everyone already has a lot they are working on and that it's not about the money. However, since my last standing offer expired, I thought I'd renew it for the new year.

I will pay (via Paypal) $150.00 to anyone who successfully makes a playable, English translated version of Anearth Fantasy Stories for the PC Engine.

I will also pay someone $40.00 to translate the following text for me into English.

/finaldumpclean.txt

Contact me if interested in translating the text.

Happy new year to all and good luck on all your projects!

Offer expires November 1, 2013

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: A TurboGrafx-16 Christmas Special]

I am currently wearing pj pants very similar to those in the video. Swear to Bonk, I just got them as a present yesterday. Great game and very funny video. Thanks for posting!

[Localizations, Games, Apps, Docs / Re: Ys IV: The Dawn of Ys English Dub Patch Released!]

Just wanted to say my thanks to everyone who had a role in finally getting this done. Starting a new play through today.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: The Brothers Duomazov: two new updates (10.5 & 10.6)]

This is good news. More please!

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: manual translations for legend of xanadu 1,2 and startling odyssey?]

A Startling Odyssey 2 translated manual was being worked on by Tru but I haven't heard anything on it in a while.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Ys 4 Manual In English]

The translation of the manual itself came from the good ol' turbo list. It was done by someone named Hiroshi Kawai. I did the scan of the manual, cleaned it up and inserted the English text. Originally had plans to do many more manuals this way (see - http://m1sz1.com/manuals/pceman.html for early version) but as always with these types of projects, finding someone to actually do the translation seems impossible.

Glad to see Sparky taking the time to print this out. Put me down for one of these too.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Downloadable Turbo grafx manuals]

I've got all of the manuals from the old Dritz Manual Site saved here. Some are TG and others are PCE. About 80 in total. I put up a couple of them here -

http://m1sz1.com/manuals/mandown.html

Esteban, PM me if you want me to send them your way.

[Localizations, Games, Apps, Docs / Re: Yet another - Translation help needed!]

Just need the text in the files above translated.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Virtual Cushion]

It's no Aura Interactor but it's OK. I just had a great idea, I could USE BOTH AT ONCE!

[Localizations, Games, Apps, Docs / Re: Yet another - Translation help needed!]

Good to be seen, esteban! 

SamIAm - your current projects are much more interesting than this. Get back to work on them! 

I've got most of the mahjong terms, menus, options, and prefecture names done and inserted. The rest of the text is separated by screen in the file above. There's not a whole lot of "story" so I figure it won't take someone too long to translate the rest. Since this will only appeal to about 4 people on the entire planet, the translation doesn't have to be exact.
