You did a real good job on this translation, keep up the good work.

damn o_O

wow, congratulations.

one thing i'm curious about... so taking all the individual files and zipping them into one file would count as modification of the distribution?

Damn, oh well it's better than nothing

Yes, all versions of ZSNES and SNES9x have had this same bug for at least seven years now. And we've seen the bug reported to them every year. I even gave advanced notice that we were releasing and that this bug existed, hoping it would be fixed. I actually planned to block playing the games in either ZSNES or SNES9x. The only things that stopped me were time and the personal feeling that it would be unprofessional for an SNES translation to detect the presence of emulators.

Unfortunately, this is sure to result in hundreds, maybe thousands, of combined hours of lost playtime for many people who simply cannot read. Along with countless false bug reports, where people wrongly assume the bug is my fault. And Nightcrawler thought his WOZZ cursor bug was annoying and took forever to get fixed ...


Are you running at 60fps? If so, that's the realtime speed. Try changing the game speed option from fast to normal (use start or select on the battle map to get to the options). It might make it a little easier for you. If you are getting more than 60fps, then try changing the settings->speed regulation options. You want that turned on and set to normal speed.

Alternatively, there is also SNEeSe and SNESGT. They may be capable of playing the game. None of us have played the game very long in either emulator. My experiences show that SNEeSe is the more accurate of the two, but SNESGT has a nicer GUI. I would recommend either over ZSNES and SNES9x for specifically playing Der Langrisser any day.

Lastly, I deeply apologize about bsnes' speed. I never had any idea that this emulator bug would remain to this day, despite seven years of advanced notice. Despite being in the perfect position to create a true alternative to these emulators that everyone could use, I ended up being too focused on accuracy over speed, and as a result ... it appears at least 70% of people interested in this translation have absolutely no way of playing Der Langrisser at fullspeed without periodic crashing or resorting to playing the game in sickeningly inferior monoraul sound. This game has one of the best soundtracks on the SNES, it deserves stereo sound.

Had I know this bug would still remain to this day in ZSNES9x, I would have tried much harder to at least have two forks of bsnes -- even without the rigorous accuracy, I'm sure I could have done a better job ensuring the game would be fully playable.

The name byuu really is fitting sometimes ...

I'm on scenario 7, and I am addicted. Now I know where Suikoden's battles come from.

I am playing it on ZSNES because I wish to have super fast forward on button press and save states.
I have "stereo sound enabled" unchecked which seems to prevent freezing. No bugs so far. No slowdown.

The mono sound is not that bad, the music is awesome. I mean, I didn't have a stereo TV until I got a playstation. It's the same music.

Thanks for hacking this game byuu, I'm enjoying it.

Really nice work byuu! I'd hardly played the Langrisser series at all untill recently, i know i'm gonna end up getting stuck into this particular title over the next few days.

Massive thanks for this translation. DL has been one of my most highly anticipated projects for years now. Awesome game, and really profession work you guys have accomplished with it.

edit:
Just kidding.  I downloaded the archive again, and received a complete download.

And to be on topic, smashing job, Team DL.  I just played scenario 1 in bsnes at scale2x using NTSC filter.  I had to use frameskip 1 in order to make this computer keep up, though.  The sound quality really adds to the experience.
