iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

In a couple days, I’m finally headed back to Japan after a long 10 years since I last went. A lot has certainly changed in those 10 years. This is my third time there; and excited to enjoy an adventure of not so much touristy stuff, but an adventure of go anywhere and anything.

Well PS3 and RPC3 can now play WKC2 online crossplay. Thankfully because this game uses a full dedicated server, there is compatibility for the two to play together! Coming soon :)

While working on the translation for Dirge of Cerberus Lost Episodes, I found out that for the English text, they made some sacrifices to how the game displays text to make more room and left out some QoL stuff like colored speaker names. So I went ahead and reimplemented that.

After four days of bruteforcing and spending over $900, the FULL version of FFVII Dirge of Cerberus Lost Episode has been preserved by @yuvi.app! The game's SD card data, which it fully relies on, remained encrypted until now. Despite being 9MB, the game contains cutscenes and voice acting.

Funny enough, the game contained some leftover English for only the tutorial mission of the game. I went ahead and enabled it, but a full translation will still need to happen. Happy to help with that endeavor if anyone steps up to do it.

Well... it's official... I need a translator for Tenerezza; the RE work is all but done. This has really been on my list to get done for far too long now. Happy to have made it all work, made the game work with 1-byte ASCII and everything as before that would crash no matter what.

Nvidia not fixing fundamental OpenGL issues for over a year is crazy... So my hardware rendering does not work because they broke OpenGL support with drivers 572 and above, and yes, it's also broken on the Studio drivers. It is time to suffer and learn DX9. www.youtube.com/watch?v=OF_5...

For those wondering Kingdom Hearts Coded runs at 15fps by default. Increasing beyond will just break the game due to everything being tied to the FPS. In which case my hardware renderer took it from maybe 4-5 fps to a 15 fps cap. This is pretty normal for mobile games in 2008.

Yuvi @yuvi.app · 22/03/2026

Kingdom Hearts: Coded side episode now fully works under hardware rendering; here is what that looks like before and after. It goes from nearly unplayable to fully playable, and you're even able to execute proper combos now!

I just created an OpenGL hardware renderer for STAR keitai emulator. No longer will heavy 3D games run badly. Minna no Golf Mobile 3 goes from like 4 FPS to a locked 30 FPS. All with proper 3D character rendering and texture loading. Plus internal resolution scaling.

My good friend Hilltop made a post regarding the state of fan translation, that I honestly back. There is nothing more important to these games then the translation itself, as it’s the first and last thing the player will most likely see. Leaving a lasting impression for life

I say this as a professional who came up from fan translation and has friends at Sega who will likely never get to work on this officially: when you fan translate ANYTHING that was previously untranslated, you have a deep, heavy responsibility in setting people's first and typically only impression.
