Thanks! I will certainly be going to the Suragaya in Shizuoka for all that PC glory. So if I find something nice, I'll let you know!

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 :)

Well, it's been done! I have been able to make a mostly fully functional White Knight Chronicles 2 server! What you are seeing below is 3 friends on their first adventure in the game in over 13 years. Thanks for the help testing! @snowyaria.goodorevengreat.games @nichetopic.bsky.social

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.

A playtest build for the next translation to be released has been generated. So not too far off now! All I can say is this was the most complex ASM hacking I've done in a long time. With one of the biggest scripts I've been a part of. Fun times ahead. :D

Thank you! I had made this work yesterday on emulator, but did not realize they were inaccurate when it came to hardware for video playback. So after some work got it working in hardware correctly. This should help all PC-FX translations going forward since most games all use this format.

Cooked up a decoder and encoder for PCFX Blue Breaker videos. Getting tools ready to eventually do a translation :D

Yuvi @yuvi.app · 13/07/2026
But this is the type of stuff that makes real people who spent many months and years working to make the best translation possible quit. Because people like this are putting out a bad translation with zero care given to the propriety, or even attempting to do it right.

Yuvi @yuvi.app · 13/07/2026
It's clear as day based off the post they have made and images they have shown; they don't know anything about it. They did not even bother to use the right character names for characters until I pointed it out. That they clearly don't care. Sorry im a little peeved about it

I have been working on this game with a real proper translation for quite some time now. This whole thing has just been a slap to my face for all the time and effort I've put into making something great for this great game. This person gives zero F's about this game; they just chose it because.

Tales of Fandom Vol. 1 for PSX now has working online leaderboards again! I just finished the server implementation. You might be asking, "How does the PSX have online connectivity?" Well, you could use certain docomo Keitai back then to give you PSX internet access. So cool!

A new partial copy of Before Crisis FFVII was preserved by NaoyaShinota! This copy contains Turk data for Cissnei, as well as a battle map and sprites for Weapon D Mode (postgame superboss mode). Now we preserved four Turks: Rod, Gun (Male), Nunchuck, and Shuriken (aka Cissnei).

That's cool! Since I have a VWF, my code just fits the text properly with no manual alignment needed. I have been working on this (even if small) since around 2022 or so. But either way my hacking work is all done until a translation is finished, which so far I have one person working on.

Currently PC, but they follow the same file scheme so it's not to far off to make it work.

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.
