I'm just wondering though when they'll get more manufactured though...since I already have 6 games on the way( I need help I know :oops: ) and kinda want to get more if i can help it because this would complete my collections a lot quicker so I'd have more to play on these systems. Not to mention I could use to save some space while getting rid of 2 consoles(into storage at least) and gain sega ones to play...
My gameroom
My systems: NES, SNES, N64, Gamecube, Wii, original gba, gba sp(001), ds lite, 3ds, vita, psp, PSone(101 model) ps2, ps3(320gb model), ps4, retron 5, and Dreamcast.

The Tales game on GBA was translated poorly and the game runs not great either with some issues which is why it's so cheap and not because the game is bad (as it's good.) You'd be best getting a translated game using new parts(costs most) or get the Japanese title and use the IPS on the R5 (Cheapest if you have the r5.)

Maybe someone should setup a thread about games with translation patches would be a good resource for players getting into importing games for their Retron 5.

Possibly stupid question: Are there any non-rpg translations? I know you don't really need to translate an action game as they only have occasional text. I'm just curious.

Yep. You can check out the translation section of romhacking.net for lots of examples spanning multiple genres.

Yes. Tons.

http://www.romhacking.net/translations/

Of course not every translation is on this site, but it should get you started.

EDIT:

There's not a translation patch for Tenchi Sōzō (Terranigma) is there? I assume what everyone in the US emulates (and what repro carts are based on) is the PAL ROM, huh?

I believe that is correct. At least I have never heard of any translation patch for Terranigma.

^ That's fine. I'm sure I can handle that one in Japanese.

Time for you to start looking at Mystic Ark. 8)
