You can’t even comprehend how important Eien ni Hen’s work is to the fan translation community. Romancing SaGa, Fire Emblem, Sakura Wars, Tear Ring Saga, Glory of Heracles, Dragon Force II, Dark Half, Beyond Oasis, Psi-O-Blade, Arabian Nights, and so much more. What a loss. Rest in peace.

Can you perhaps provide why those got scrapped? Were there issues with rating boards?

@chetsucks.com I got a quick question. In the recently leaked June 2008 build of L4D1, we noticed that the suicide note from No Mercy's apartments got removed in the final release. An unused model of a corpse that committed suicide by hanging was also found but it's unknown in which campaign it was.

I'm trembling while writing this: Kamaitachi no yoru—not the PC remake, not the iOS port, but the actual original SFC version—has been translated at last by ButThouMust, who graciously brought us an English patch for Otogirisou in the past. This is HISTORICAL.

It should be possible. In fact I think we plan on redoing the OP typesetting entirely. I've talked with our TLC guy and he also thinks some of other lines are a bit stiff.

badspot @beyond-infinity.nekoweb.org · 03/07/2026

I wonder why is that the case… I assumed it's because perhaps the Sega developed filesystem (PVR) doesn't support transparency? The sprites that are dumped from the Dreamcast version don't have a transparent background for are rather green entirely. In the PS2 version, they are transparent.

010

badspot @beyond-infinity.nekoweb.org · 03/07/2026

One fascinating thing about difference between Dreamcast and other versions of Ever17 is that in the DC ver. Sora's stole isn't transparent at all. This is exclusive to Dreamcast for some reason.

"Dreamcast", a haiku Each day he rises. Asks me, "Is it still launch day?" "Yes," I lie. "Always."

My Dreamcast asking me to set the date, and showing the Japanese launch date of 27th of November 1998.

To this point, I will also reiterate that PS3 and PS Vita digital download preservation remains incomplete, particularly for Japanese games and DLC, where I imagine the bulk of that work has taken place abroad. This essentially gives a one-year deadline to plug some sizeable, yet quite tricky holes.

Honestly, the PS2 scene has some great developments in recent times. From MMCE devices to FreeMCBoot basically being superseded. The only thing that is missing is an ODE.

badspot @beyond-infinity.nekoweb.org · 01/07/2026

With PS3 the situation is direr than with PS Vita. Across all regions, only half of PSN has been preserved when it comes to games.

badspot @beyond-infinity.nekoweb.org · 01/07/2026

Of all available JP games only 83.88% of them are dumped. DLC wise it's way worse though…

Afaik Mechapwn should work on FAT 50k models and all Slim models due to them having Dragon-based mechacon. Only issue is that PAL and JP based consoles require you to boot games off wlaunchELF cause of the logo check they have.

The absolute state of gaming in the big 2026

Playstation, Xbox, and Epic Games send themselves back to the lobby with baffling business decisions, while Steam is executed by AI tech giants. Nintendo sits in the middle, confused and contemplating how it will live up to Playstation and Xbox's legendary failures.

I can kinda understand why they're killing off digital storefronts for PS3 and Vita (as much as it sucks) but to kill off physical copies this fast…

Hi everyone We will be prepared for this when Sony delists their legacy PlayStation stores. We will shortly begin double checking our archives to ensure we have everything Puyo related available from the PlayStation 3 & Vita stores when the time comes. We will update you when possible. #PuyoPuyo

Like how does one look at the results and somewhat think this looks "acceptable?" Fact that they're pricing this horrible remaster at 6k yen is unacceptable given the minimum effort it has.
