Will someone make a English Translation Patch for the game??

PCEngineHell

Why? Its import friendly. It doesn't exactly have a compelling storyline anyway.

HercTNT

Kmnightwarrior, i'm sorry, but that is an extremely absurd question. the game is fully playable from start to finish in english. what more is it that you need?

This "max-level forum psycho" (:lol:) destroyed TWO PC Engine groups in rage: one by Aaron Lambert on Facebook "Because Chris 'Shadowland' Runyon!," then the other by Aaron Nanto "Because Le NightWolve!" Him and PCE Aarons don't have a good track record together... Both times he blamed the Aarons in a "Look-what-you-made-us-do?!" manner, never himself nor his deranged, destructive, toxic turbo troll gang!

Lol seriously.  How would Street Fighter 2's experience have truly been had you never known Ryu said "You must defeat my dragon punch to stand a chance". I just... I just don't know what I would have done....

Arkhan Asylum

and what about Balrog's wise words:

"My fists have your blood on them".

Doesn't hurt to ask

Super SFII X on the Dreamcast got a English Patch

CrackTiger

It would be cool to read more direct translations, even if they aren't patched into a game. They can't all be ridiculous in the exact same ways and I'm sure some of it must be "insensitive".

I'm more interested in soneday seeing a non-glitching version "Fighting Street II'" with at least one stage updated.

HercTNT

true, that's a fair enough. but the turbo is not the dreamcast and everything is in english except for the credits i think. are you really reading the credits?

Only because certain people don't have anything better to do with their time evidently. There are far more deserving games out there that could benefit from a translation. SF2 IS NOT one of them. Its already been translated via the countless American releases.

Everything is in Japanese

HercTNT

maybe you right, its been awhile since i played it. but its so simple its hard to imagine that anyone would have trouble figuring it out. i'm as simple as it gets and i get it. just my two cents.

PCEngineHell

What I'd like to see is someone do a non-cropped version for Pce. I mean seriously, not like the hardware cant handle it. All the arcade card fighters have large full screen graphics about.

Only the win quotes and endings, which...you'd think everyone would have memorized by now. The character select, the announcer's voice, the credits, the option screen, everything you'd really need is already in English in every version of SFII.

Wow man, that has to be one of your silliest posts ever. No point to this at all. Nobody would bother to put it on a HuCard. The only feasible way to do it would be to hack a ROM... but at that point, anyone who uses ROMs could easily just play any one of the other 1004 versions of Street Fighter II out there.


-if you make a silly post, you will get mocked. Yes, this was a silly post you made. :P

I thought Fatal Fury Special already had an English option in it. I know Art of Fighting does.

I'm going to translate Insanity.

It has such a compelling story.  Those Japanese people need to know all about it.

I'll have to look and get back to you.  I've never tinkered with the options much with the SNK fighters...  That is other than to turn the challenge up to 11!!!  HARDCAW!!!

Super SFII X on the Dreamcast got a English Patch
Several PCE games like this, which have minimal Japanese or the text translated elsewhere have already been patched up. A game as popular as SFII' would have been translated years ago if it didn't employ bank switching. It's actually the only HuCard that does. So it would actually be too challenging to be worth the effort for the kinds of programners who seem to pick off easy to translate games like this.

Zeta: the post match VS mode screen has a bunch of stats in Japanese. It would be nice to have that translated.

Actually the bankswitching probably wasn't the problem exactly. The most popular emulator for a long time was MagicEngine, which uses or used some sort of Hash/Checksum calculation to detect SF2 and emulate the mapper. So if you changed just 1 byte of the ROM, MagicEngine didn't want to emulate the mapper anymore. Atleast that is what I recall running into when I thought it would be easy to just insert the english text into this game. But that was years ago. And there really was no point to it. It could be done, and probably no more difficult than other translation hacks. But until someone just feels like it, it won't happen. It's not like someone is going to do it for fame.

Arkhan Asylum

Maybe I'll do it

but the text won't be correct.

Chun Li will be like IM THE STRONGEST LESBIAN IN THE WORLD

and Sagat's name will say Fagat

and Blanka will just make wookie noises.

Guile will be like GO HOME AND BLOW YOUR MOM.

etc.

It will be awesome.

Good god, i would be terrified of the animation on that one alone  :shock:

BigusSchmuck

Its not a completely absurd request, hell people are still tinkering with Super Mario Brothers and that game is damn near 30 years old. I'll put it up there with the Snes Tactics Ogre Battle translation request.

I've always had an interest in seeing this game translated, not that it really NEEDS to be.  I did some graphical upgrades to the stages and title screen a while back too.  I'm too lazy to search for the thread on it, though.

I now have a reason to care about SFII' on PCE. :pcds:

What would actually be cool is if someone did something like a Sonic and Knuckles type thing that converted SF2 Champ to Super SF2 or something, or simply as a upgrade to fix any issues in Champ itself including updating the backgrounds and maybe add in any missing frames of animation, like the walking backwards animations.

Another idea kind of spawned off your quote could be putting new sprites into old games..  Perhaps something that looked like the Kisado adapter that actually had a game inside of it.  One idea could be a way to put a popular NEC/TTi character inside of other games on the Turbo.  Imagine a game called 'Invader Zonk' or something, where you could connect with a number of classic Turbo games.  Air Zonk in Bonk's Revenge, Zonk in Ninja Spirit, Zonk in Keith Courage?  Could just be as simple as a sprite swap to place a walking Zonk animated over the original sprite.
