Retro Gaming News 140: Dragon Force II Gameplay Translation Released

This release will let English-speaking Dragon Force fans understand the flow of gameplay, from navigating menus to conducting armies on the field to managing domestic affairs. What it does not do is translate the story. One out of eight storyline scenarios is complete and awaiting insertion, and a second is partially translated, but given the project’s size it’s clear we’re going to need a lot more translation help if a fully English Dragon Force II is ever to see the light of day.
In addition to attracting more volunteer Japanese-to-English translators, we hope this release will spark a healthy fan community around a game that definitely deserves a cult following. Users new to Saturn emulation will want to pay very close attention to the readme and head over to our Dragon Force II project forum with the inevitable questions. Our readme will become a living document as it’s updated with frequently asked questions and answers.
Let’s leave you with a forty minute presentation highlighting the game’s beautiful music and artwork alongside the gameplay translation in action, plus a story preview for one of the eight scenarios and our QA tester recruitment drive video."

Retro Gaming News 138: Tear Ring Saga Translation Released! (PS1)

"Almost everything should be translated.
Known issues:
- Text alignment and line breaks in words at many places, esp. items
- Some graphics text banners not translated
- Ending graphics not translated
- VS mode not translated
- May crash or freeze at Morse tower (and at other places?)
- Not playtested or beta-tested much / at all
- Much of script not proofread or sanity checked
With all that said, we hope this patch in its incomplete state will stir up some interest in clean-up work to fix all the above issues. Please contact FoxStar74 if you are interested in contributing (please have an example work or project to demonstrate your experience)."

Retro Gaming News 137: Final Fantasy IV, typo-free

"There are lots and lots of Final Fantasy IV hacks on the site already, so you must be thinking, “Spooniest, you debonaire swashbuckling hex hero, what makes this one different?”
…Ok, maybe you’re not thinking exactly that, but what makes this one different is that it cleans up the text from Joel Smith’s “FF4 - Cosmetic Changes.” A handful of typos remained from J2e’s hack, and some punctuation and tone issues were present. The full change list is in the readme.
Maybe it’s pointless to try to get anyone to play Final Fantasy IV again, but I’ll be damned if I’m going to sit by while the only versions of the original SNES game available are riddled with typos.
SIDE NOTE: vivify93 requested that I change the ellipses in the game to the “single character” version that is found in the code, which I may still do, if I’m feeling saucy sometime.
Enjoy!
