Well, the guy did ask for help from the DC homebrew devs out there to help him with the project, but I guess nobody ever offered to help.

I mean you can't really get mad at him, it is a very daunting task to translate a japanese game fully like this.

A guy named Nebelwurfer just finished translating the Jap game Advanced Daisenryaku 2001. I am now sending him an email as we speak to see if he could team up with the guy translating Segagaga. Cross your fingers and hope he says yes!

Kanji is much different compared to latin. Cryllic is basicaly a form of greek alphabet, and is much closer related to latin than Kanji is. Kanji is like a hieroglyphic and phonetic hybrid writing system, which means their words are like pictures, but have phonetical uses when many are combined to make words.

Space Channel 5 part 2 was translated pretty easy because they used the PS2 videos from the US version of the game and added it to the game. Shenmue 2 was also translated with the American Xbox English voices, and it is surprisingly good. If you would liek to get that version, I have posted it here for those that didn't know Shenmue 2 has English voices now.

Take your pick, it comes in 2 flavors, one for standard 80min cdr's, and a second higher quality one for 90min cdr's.

Correct me if I'm wrong.. but I thought the guy doing the Segagaga translation said the translating was complete, its just the patching and a few other things that are not done..

[Anthony817]

If that were true then it would be great. I'm sure he would have said something by now if it was. I have no idea if it was though.

[christoph]

I would donate to this guy to get it done too..

I just got a reply from the guy that did the Advanced War translation, and he said he sticks to war and simulation games mostly and he would not be interested in translating Segagaga, so atleast he responded back so you guys aren't kept in the dark.
