insectduel's post in the screenshot thread made me curious; is there a Japanese rom hacking scene like there is in the English speaking (and Italian and Spanish, too, I'm just not familiar with those)? Obviously I can't really google this because "Japanese Romhacking" just returns links to translation hacking docs we've got on the site.  |

There's a bunch of hacks that make the Super Metroid redesign look like a kiddie game.
Mostly I've seen Chinese folks do hacks and translations... I doubt the Japanese would want to translate US-only GBA/XBox games... :p

Let's make a separation between console and PC market.
On consoles, well there are practically no games they miss out :p
And on the PC - oh oh, they are not interested in western games at all. Why? Because they don't contain porn scenes of course.
So I doubt they are interested in our games^^

Are Wizardry-type games still hot over there? Wizardry was incredibly popular over there back in the day. |

I think this is less about translation hacks as it is about gameplay hacks. I know there's a fairly active Super Mario World and Super Metroid hacking community; other things, I couldn't say. |

Yeah, I meant non-translation hacking.

There are a few Japanese-only hacks. ... Like Super Mario World hacks... Wow; but I'm sure there's more. I know that the PSP's been hacked by Japanese hackers! Real shame [e] hasn't released a fully working Wonderswan emulator... Then again, I haven't tried his latest one... |

Another thing, if you think about it:
Wouldn't it be fairly easy, hacking wise, to translate a game from English into Japanese? We have such a hard time fitting English words into Japanese games because Japanese can say alot with little amounts of text. They'd have TONs of space to work with for scripts.

Why are you guys babbling about. I hope you guys don't confirm me as a stereotype. Especailly after that accident in another board when I said about being better than them. Most recently I've hosted the Spikes Instant Kill type 1 for SMAS that I ripped off from the NES Spike Patch and use the coding as my own. Here's the link here. This patch allows to transform coins into Spike chasms. BUT I've still having trouble with the coding when the Spike chasms only exist in mushroom attributes only while the other attributes has coins. OK, maybe some Japanese SMB1 hackers ARE intellegent than I was, but I learn from them. But no one hacks SMB1 for SMAS but myself and Spellwerdzrite. And also done SMB3 for SMAS by myself too. Recently, I wrote new data for SMAS, but no thanks to the floppy disk damage, I can no longer host it anymore unless I have internet in my home computer. And so is my future translation project, Boys over Flowers another love story. I can't even pick up the ROM either. I've done a lot work so Japanese is NOTHING to do with ROM hacking. It's just your skill. I've learned that now. |

...huh? I was just wondering if there's a Japanese hacking scene analogous to our little corner of the net. I wasn't deliberately attacking you or anyone for that matter. O_o |

I know you weren't Redcomet. But I am behaving very badly in the past and discriminate their work. I had a major problem about that scene when I was thinking.

Do you have any links or any specific hacks that come to mind? Since we are Romhacking.net shouldn't we host those (Japanese) hacks too? |

*Blinks twice* Huh? O.o You're definitely not a fluent English-speaking/writing person, hm? (I guess this makes me fall under wiseass mode? I don't mean to offend, I'm just asking...) Another thing, if you think about it:

I hate it when you're only given five or four spaces to input a name in games. Sure, in Japanese you can input the name... er, "Hiroshima" and it falls in four spaces... But try writing "Moulinoski" without it being "Moul" or "Mouli"... >_> Although I usually input my real name... |
