Since I locked the last topic, here is a new one.  Don't argue again, I'll lock this one also.
 
But now Gemini has videos of the game intro translated.

This is some serious progress in the project so I thought I would share with everyone.  Personally I can't wait to play.

Very interesting. I used to really hate having my kanji book next to me  and it never really worked XD

Emulation is a little different once we get to systems that use a cd medium.  Basically you will need the patch, the iso or bin/cue files, and something to apply the patch.  Then once that is done you can burn the game to a cd (with and iso burning software).  Once you have the cd you can play it on your computer with an emulator (which most computers made in the last few years should be able to handle a PSX game).  Or you can play it on a modded PSX/PS2.

So...I just download it once it comes out, if I already a PSX emulator? Sheesh, these things really outta be simpler.

About the CM thing... why not just temporarily stick the spell onto a Persona and use the fusion?

Can't you look through the enemy list and search for anybody who jas the spell in their available enemy ability list?

I suspect that in this, Wheel of Time and Wheel of Fortune are switched from what they do in Eternal Punishment.  
 
Hence why Time has no effect: enemies can't change Persona. That's EP Fortune's effect.
 
Also hence why Fortune does damage: that's EP Time's effect.
 
Can you make an enemy cast Wheel of Time on the party and see if they can P-Change? Of course, it could just crash since they never got it working until EP.

It is so awesome that someone is actually translating this!

If I remember correctly, Wheel of Time in EP actually seals the ability to change persona for a short while. So it's literally meaningless to be used by player characters since none of the opponents change their Persona during Battle. If you say for using on Elizabeth, you win.

That is a real disappointment.
 
It is really unfair when others have to ruin it for everyone else and can not learn to control themselves.
 

Well, they won't get anything from me for sure. Some idiots get so funny when you deny them a precious toy. Fortunately, not everybody is like them.

Don't worry, I don't really give a shit about those moronic comments. But I do consider them a nice way to spend time laughing. At them.

Well, I just wanted to say something encouraging... you have a lot of talent, and reguardless of what is released, I think it's super-kool that you took it so far... it's been what, two or three years in total now? That's dedicated, inspired me to blow the dust off of some of my older abandoned projects.
 
Also, you worked on the Tales of Phantasia (PS1) patch too, right? That's a lot of fun and I appreciated that they're actually two translations (transliterated and cool-sounding-names) for stuff... that's better than you get from "official" sources who in that case didn't even bother to translate the game at all.
 
Anyhow, sorry for veering off-topic... I guess I really should go to sleep after a few hours of coding.  
 
Be encouraged! Don't let flamers get you down!  

Well it's honestly not just that.
 
I don't get the logic of not releasing something just because some guy not even affiliated with anything had a spaz attack.
 
Most fan translators have this superego that needs to be fellated (wasn't there some guy who canceled an entire project just because GameFAQers criticized the way he spelled things?), and as mentioned in the linked topic, they have this need to hold the translation over peoples heads. "Do exactly what I say or you won't get precious."
 
It's absolutely ridiculous. I can understand an entire community putting someone down, and making you feel like it's all for naught, but don't you get enough asskissing to counter all that? You have people that hang off your every word and nearly act like you're God himself, and that's still not enough?
 
You're torturing these people by denying their precious. But I guess that's the point isn't it? You like your power. It's lulz.
 
Regardless, I can wait, I'm not even done Persona 2 yet. Once this eventually gets abandoned and given to another guy, and translated from Dutch to Spanish to English and back, then we can all play it. Together, happily.

Then maybe you should try this hobby before saying anything about it, because obviously you and the other people there have no clue.

You totally missed the point. I mean, entirely. My intention is not to punish anybody with this.
 
Quote:

No, I like my hobbies when they are fun (who doesn't?). In this case it just stopped being fun, at all.

Then why did you bother to post here? I thought you weren't interesting in a dumbass guy's stuff.

So what? I don't give a shit about people bad-mouthing my work, but it doesn't mean I don't care about my blog.

Quote from Alizarin on 10/03/08 at 19:44:03:

It's a topic about my project. So well, I have something to talk about that doesn't necessarily mean trolling. :0

Quote from Alizarin on 10/03/08 at 19:57:49:

A lot of energy? Where exactly? Unless I went black out for a few hours, I doubt so. My energies are well spent on something else at the moment. No, seriously.

Quote from Alizarin on 10/03/08 at 20:05:20:

Which comments did I respond to? I didn't say much except for the fact that the comments on that board are pure trolling. As far as I can remember, I haven't really commented that much anywhere else about this whole affair. The hardon cannon is safe.

Okay kids, time to calm down. Although these back and forths are much better than the VP debates were.

*Facepalms* Somebody is trying too hard to be willfully obtuse.

...OK kids, should I tell him now or later what's going on here?

You do realize that we've been perfectly civil to you here and you're tossing mild barbs at us? Ha.
 
(Yes, we are the same people.)

And? You basically just admitted you're a little sore about it. Good job.

...You have got to be joking. You basically say you're throwing barbs at us here because we did it over there, in the past, despite us being perfectly civil here. Then you claim you're not sore? You know what that smell in the air is, my friend? The smell of bullshit.
 
That's pathetic. Just admit you're sore, it won't hurt. Much. Certainly more honorable than lying to everyone's face.

Yeah I mean...posting something here just to say it's "moronic" and "their shit doesn't bother you" or whatever..
 
Their shit IS bothering you if you go out of your way to post it.

It was for a good laugh. I said this like, 4 times now?
 
Quote:

It isn't if you have a brain and a couple eyes to read and understand. As I said, everything I say will always just provoke in you the same, boring reaction. Try a new joke for a change.

Sorry, but said from a person like you it has no meaning at all. And I doubt I will answer anymore to your nonsense. For me the discussion ends here and now.

What is with people and their trying to make the internet some perfect reality according to them? No arguing, no funny business, no criticism, just me me me me me me me and praise.
 
It's getting ridiculous, lol.

No, -I- am the Supreme Troll. I've been working for YEARS for this, there's no way Tallgeese is taking it away from me so soon.
 
See Gemini, maybe if you weren't such a hardass serious spaz, people would get along with you alot better.

How about less back and forth on this issue, I would like to see the patch, I appreciate effort that has gone into.  I just wish that the issues with the few wouldn't let people ruin things for the many.

...We all agree about SMT? I reallllly hope you're joking.
 
It's got nothing to do with wanting it early; believe me when I tell you that SHODAN and I have plenty to occupy ourselves with... like the aforementioned Eternal Punishment where we are carrying around a 99 all stats Jack O' Lantern. Dark Cloud 2. Mayhaps some Suikodens. Wii games... list goes on.

All I can say is that I am incredibly excited for this patch.  I've been lurking the update blog for a very long time now and the work shown is incredible.  Thanks for all the hard work, Gemini.
 

And the sucking up begins in...
 
What, I didn't even get to start the count damn.

Quote from Tallgeese on 10/14/08 at 21:33:33:

 
Not so much with the sucking up.  More to do with the fact that I've been wanting to play this in English for longer then I care to remember.
 
Besides, nothing gives me greater pleasure then interrupting countdowns.  It's my Evil Power, don't you know?
 
EDIT: Ok, I did some searching around the net, and I just can not find this info anywhere.  But I have Swap Magic discs for the PS2, both the CD one and the DVD one.  Is the CD one compatible with this?  Or do I need to find another route to play this?

Awesome and thanks!

lol the classic Mav

This new second patch messed up my memory card. I’m playing the game on my modded PS1 PAL console. I started the game and everything was perfect. I played the game and saved it. I just wanted to take a look and play it after I finish the other RPG I’m currently playing. I checked my memory card because I wanted to delete my savestat and there was no Persona 2 I.S. savestat. But I had 3 Castlevania: SOTN save blocks (and I know that I normally have only one). What’s even more weird, the three Castlevania save blocks count as one when you want to delete them. It looks like Innocent Sin took over my Castlevania block and created additional two same looking save blocks. You can guess, I lost my Castlevania stat. However, that’s not important. It gets much worse. I deleted the Castlevania/Persona blocks and started the game again. I choose CONTINUE and my Persona savestat was still present, even it was deleted minutes before. I checked my memory card again and… three Thrill Kill save block (and it’s possible to have only one). Luckily, I have three memory cards. I copyed all my undamaged save blocks to the other memory card and deleted my Thrill Kill/Persona save blocks. It looked (only looked)that my memory card was empty now.I went experimenting. I started the game, clicked CONTINUE and the savestat was still there. I saved my game on all five blocks. Now I looked at my memory card. It was empty/full. You couldn’t see any save blocks but they were there. Which made it impossible to delete them, because they were invisible. I found that out by inserting some game and tried to save it. I got the message “Your memory card is full”.
This is not so bad in my case, because I have three memory cards. But I believe there are people with only one memory card. I hope this only happened to me.
Gemini fix this, please.

Yes, they do (because there are no PAL/NTSC memory cards). They are all the same. The only thing that may not be working is a PAL savestat with the NTSC version of the game. Or vice-versa.

I can make a fix for you, but I need you to test it for me so that you can tell me if it works. Such an error was never mentioned during the whole beta testing. O_o Give me a few minutes and it'll be online.

Iirc, saves with translated names freeze the Japanese game. Anyway, I think I got what the problem was (again, another error I made with the hacking script that I forgot to update...). You can try the same procedure you suggested with this build of the patch and it should fix the MC block headers. Be sure to apply it to a clean ISO.

I applied the patch you gave me and I got my save stats back. Everything works fine now.
