We did this one spontaneously in 2 weeks - turned out that it wasn't too difficult to hack, and it didn't have that much text either, so we figured we'd do it, especially considering that it's the 30th anniversary of the MSX2 version, and the sequel has been translated for ages.

We also fixed two game-breaking bugs this game had, both likely caused by code duplicates: EXP bug (after getting more than 9999 EXP, your health would go down to 0/numbers would overflow) and item bug (you could only get 14 items before, otherwise the item menu would bug out, and you'd have to use the password to fix it - now it's no longer the case). Still, if you notice any issues with the patch, by all means let me know. Shouldn't take too long to fix them.

Overall, while not a great game, there is a strange charm to it, perhaps due to the subject matter. I personally liked the story, as it was kinda different from most other games at that time. Either way, here it is. I think we'll tackle some PCE-CD games next though, for a change.

One more thing - I strongly suggest you read the "tips and tricks/how to play" section from the text manual form/readme we came up with. The manual will be ready in its pdf form somewhat later, but for now you just need the text anyway. The manual should help out in a pinch, and it explains certain things much better than the game itself. We also put the most important pieces of advice in the RHDN patch description, so hopefully you won't miss them.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Gai Flame/Guyframe - translation patch, beta version]

Hello,
so, we've had this project on the shelf for ages, and it's not fully finished, but I thought it would be a good idea to have it additionally tested beforehand. Most of the game is done away. The only major issue we know of are the menus. Of course, if you manage to notice any errors, inconsistencies etc. please report them, at best in this thread.

The game itself is a turn-based strategy, somewhat akin to other games of this type, such as X-Serd or, especially, its predecessor Gaia no Monshou. It's a part of the Langrisser saga, though this one in particular isn't nearly as long, nor epic in scope. To win, you need to go from city to city with your protagonist, investigate them and find the NPC that advances the plot, all the while doing battles. If you find some good blogs resources on this game, feel free to link them here too.

Without further ado, here's the patch: https://ufile.io/2csgn. This game seems to work best on Mednafen or BizHawk. We haven't yet checked how it works on the hardware, so feel free to do that if you want. 

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Out Live for TG16 got translated]

If you enjoy dungeon crawlers starring giant mechs, this could potentially be a treat for you.  If not, well... it's still cool that another RPG for good ol' TG16 got translated.
