OMG! ZIRIA! ZIRIA!! ZIRIA!!! IT ACTUALLY HAPPENED!! 34 YEARS LATER!! The epic/legendary Tengai Makyou/Far East of Eden: Ziria JRPG has finally been localized! Supper the Subtitler struck again! Simply unstoppable, NOTHING can prevent him from TOTAL PCECD localization domination!!!! WHACHA GONNA DO BROTHER?!?!


Supper writes: Tengai Makyou: Ziria is the debut entry of the Tengai Makyou series. Published by Hudson Soft for the PC-Engine CD-ROM² system in 1989, it was the first RPG ever released on CD and served as a showcase for the new medium, with elaborate visuals and voice-acting far beyond what any competing title could offer. Its success led it to become the first in a popular series, very little of which was ever released outside Japan.

Wow, sorry I only noticed this now Sanhime! This forum is mostly left around for history/an archive, I never expect new posts so I don't actually bother to look!

Anyway, yeah, it'd be nice to do another PC Engine project if I finish Emerald Dragon! I was actually contacted by 2 translators/editors on Twitter who are interested in working on it, but I didn't wanna lead them on - I made it clear it's a slight possibility only AFTER I finish Emerald Dragon.

Thanks for stopping by, hope you're doing well! : )

I step away for some years and I come back to see this?!?!?!  *Cheers!*   Can't wait to see more progress on this and Emerald.

I'm close to rating this one of the greatest PC Engine History/Legacy tours I've ever seen, it's definitely up there! Epic, pretty damn good! ShmupJunkie's selection of the best PCE music really helps, and now with Book/Part II it'll really seal the deal! He cleverly used the Ys Book I & II CD intro to take you into the past of this console's rich history which, while very successful in Japan, unfortunately lost out in the US due to several factors he touches upon.

This is the one I'd LOVE to see finished!!

Title: "Dragon Slayer: The Legend of Heroes II"
Alt: "Dragon Slayer: Eiyuu Densetsu II"
Platform: PC Engine Super CD-Rom2
Produced by: NihonFalcom/Hudson 1992

facebook.com/NightWolve/posts/10222365253029555Localization potential? Recently on a whim I decided to tinker! To my surprise, the text/print system was the ~SAME as Emerald Dragon! So, could I port the 8x12 font/mod work here also? YES!!! And voila!


I also learned there's a control code space character of only 4 pixels width, so instead of using the common ANSI 0x20 char code which causes a spacing of 8 pixels wide via an 8x16 font, you use 0x60 to cause 4 pixels of width. That's how I got the 1st & 3rd lines to fit in the last image. Look at "What if I told you" and "under the control of" for example being squeezed tight to fit in a line. Will be useful at times and hopefully is also mirrored with the Emerald Dragon message/font functions! If you can never have a variable-width font, this is a somewhat useful fallback/alternative.

#1) A first-look teaser of the Emerald Dragon [PC Engine CD] English localization project has been published!!!  8) Took YEARS to get here...

#2) I got an email from David Michel, the PCE/PC-FX emulator author, informing me I had won his PC Engine CD contest!!! How about that ?? Hard to believe he's still around and running contests at MagicEngine.com... A really unexpected bonus! The game is Neo Metal Fantasy, a JRPG.

I think this works pretty good, although I'll have more OGG to WAVE extraction tweaks to implement soon to achieve perfection. To get you playing right now though, it's ready! :)

(The future tweaks I want involve skipping OGG extraction and decoding to WAVE by directly reading from the EXE and not first extracting the OGGs to the target folder (improved speed tweak) and other sophisticated tweak issues with the OGG decoder I want just in the name of perfection.)

https://www.ysutopia.net/downloads/ysc/Ys2EpicBGMSoundMod.exe

If you have any creative ideas on what to title it, lemme know.

Ys2EpicBGMSoundMod.exe (My best idea so far and probably final)
Ys2EpicBGMusicMod.exe (Hmm, has potential, less characters, says the same thing)
Ys2RyoBGMSoundMod.exe (Alternatively maybe Ryo in the filename might make it more marketable)
Ys2RyoOSTMod.exe (Shorter alt)
Ys2RyoSoundMod.exe (Shorter alt)
Ys2RyoMusicMod.exe (Shorter alt)

"ys2c-altst.exe" <-- (Original, BORING idea by XXXSEED Cock-Flasher Jeff... See how someone might not give a shit?)

Beyond the Installer filename, there are the various internal titles I used:

'"Ys I Complete" Epic/Ultimate BGM Soundtrack Mod'
"Presenting: The Ryo Yonemitsu Epic BGM Soundtrack Mod!"
Upgrade Ys I Complete to the epic PC Engine/TurboGrafx-CD soundtrack, The Ryo Yonemitsu Cut!
"The PCE Turbo-Powered Ryo Yonemitsu Soundtrack Cut!"

Oh and prepare yourself for a bit of a Splash screen and classic voice-acting when you start the patch BTW, it's a special added touch I also thought of. :)
