Afterwards, I was basically left with text files, png images, and the tools to inject them back in the game without much hassle. I had a lot of fun working on this one, especially for the graphic edits (the fontwork in particular, it was quite a challenge to fit everything in while staying readable)

Then he added support to the English character charset to a game that was totally devoid of it, which is again something akin to black magic to me.
Kudos to Kirinn too, who managed to decode the two graphics data formats (CG and sprites) in a really fast time.
Of all PC-98 translation projects I've worked on, this one was probably the more difficult technically. Valley Bell managed to decompress, decrypt and unprotect the executable with not much more than ASM knowledge and the MAME debugger output.
08.03.2026 14:46 โ ๐ 13 ๐ 1 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0Awesome commercial! Fun fact, PSIV was the game that motivated me to learn English beyond the school stuff. I did my first playthrough at the age of 12 or 13, and there were basically no console games localized in French. Still love this game to death nearly 30 years later, best RPG I ever played!
06.03.2026 13:43 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0Still working on "Eve". Most of the H-scenes are now in English. An open beta will be sent to a few testers by the end of the week to track the bugs and errors in the Kojiroh route, while I finish tweaking the Marina one. I'd say around 60 to 70% of the text is now in an acceptable state.

Shizuku - English Translation (PC98) Updated from version 1.8 to 2.0.6
29.01.2026 13:09 โ ๐ 15 ๐ 5 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0For historical context, this newly translated game is considered to be the first visual novel. The developer, Leaf, would later develop the ToHeart series.

An English fan translation of the classic Leaf Visual Novel "Shizuku" for PC-98 [NSFW 18+] has been released by "Her-Saki": github.com/Her-Saki/shi...

From today, we have a fully working and completable English version of EVE Burst Error for PC-98 (minus the untranslated h-scenes, and with still a lot of crap to remove from the script). Don't rejoice too soon, as there still is a lot of work to do. But the groundwork is pretty satisfying!
20.01.2026 21:05 โ ๐ 3 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0Still a lot to do, though... there are a few H-scenes to translate from scratch, a lot of gratuitous profanity and excessive localization to remove, some untranslatable jokes to sort out, not to mention typos and faulty grammar. We're still nowhere near release.
14.01.2026 07:06 โ ๐ 2 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0About 80% of the text has been reinserted, most of the cringiest rewrites have been toned down (no more references to the Lewinsky scandal, Suzuki is no longer an old pervert) and the memory overflow errors are fixed.

Finished inserting the whole Kojiroh route. After a quick test to see if it's completable, I'll work on the missing scenes. Then the tedious part of de-shittifying the script will begin.

YU-NO: A Girl that Chants Love from the Edge of the World - English Translation (PC98) Added
05.12.2025 22:42 โ ๐ 17 ๐ 7 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 4Unless some random nasty game breaking bug pop up (and I'll find it very unlikely considering all the post-release work done on it on the last few years and the extensive testing that went with), I won't touch it anymore. Consider this the definitive release.
05.12.2025 22:13 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0I think I'm finally done with this game. It was the most massive task I've ever done in romhacking, even if it was just a script port. The number of tweaks that had to be done on the script files to actually make the damn thing work was insane.

I just released a big revision for the Yu-No PC-98 English script port. It fixes the (hopefully) last bugs and typos, reformats the text cleanly (split lines are better handled and bad hyphenation is taken care of) and has some code optimization/tidying. gbatemp.net/download/pc-...
