    You could always just use a translator

    Haha. True, but how will i ever understand the cliche japanese complexities of "find princess, save kingdom" without proper grammar?

    What games are you getting? I suggest first going to Romhacking and look up the translation, then check out the readme.txt for patching instructions. Some translations use different mappers and expand the roms and stuff. For instance I picked up Portopia before reading the patch notes and now I'm stuck with it. I guess I could just resell it. That's a lot of hassle for a couple bucks though.

    Problem is, im a complete noob where these things are concerned and i know itd be cheaper to pay somebody to do the work than invest in something to reprogram carts.



    And its games like ff 4-6 and secret of mana 2

    Well what would i need to do it myself? Im not too knowledgeable about this stuff...

    Are you asking who will translate a video game for you, or who will put already translated SFC/FC games onto those carts?



    If it's the first, I don't think you quite know the complexlity of that path .

    so you want the carts made.   not to start a new translation (which can take months-years depending on how complex the compression,scripts etc.. are)   fortunately most Japanese games have been translated in the last 15 years or so. 



    what you want is here

    @ gorillazero I want already translated versions of the games on japanese versions of those games that im about to purchase. Basically i want somebody to use the actual game that i want reproed as a donor... if that makes sense?



    @ roku thats awesome! Thanks!

    hmm.. I have a copy of Bahamut lagoon I could patch and I have carts of Just Breed and maybe Madara already done.

    I would help you, but I prefer new boards. So much less work in the end. Good luck though.

    Hmmm... guess ill just scope out a few repro makers from the sticky roku pointed out.I didnt realize how difficult what i wanted was.



    Thanks everyone for the responses!
