    Growing up, my dad had the third game in this series. It holds a special place in my heart because he was very unpleasant to be around, so whenever my family visited him, I could at least forward to playing Boku no Natsuyasumi 3. I know this is the second one, but still, it's the same series so it holds some nostalgia. I hope many English speakers enjoy these games too. Thank you a lot for spreading these games to the world!

    I want to try to fan translate a game, and I've never modded games before. I will watch this in full when I have the time, but I just wanted to say, thanks for creating this unformative video, even if the subject is very niche

    2D facial animations should have been done more during the ps2 era. Much more expressive and better than attempting low poly mesh animations.

    5:41 The two in the middle and the one on the right are definitely sprites for the boost controllers. the two in the middle look like analog dial style boost controllers, like what you would find on tuned Porsche 930 Turbos or something. The one on the right looks like the control unit of an electronic boost controller, like an HKS EVC - these also featured Scramble settings. i bet the middle left one is the B-con, the one on the middle right is the Tri-Boost, and the one on the far right is the Phantom

    The work you did on this game is amazing, and while I didn't know it existed as of a few days ago, I am happy that I'm able to play it on my PS2 now. Thank you.

  • @r3sparxmusic96

    Brother, please can you translate rest of the Boku No Natsuyasumi games? And also the Twilight Syndrome and Moonlight Syndrome games for PS1? I know I am asking way too much but I would seriously love to play those gems and I can't count on anyone but you for these games. Thanks for translating all the other gems. You are a legend in the Retro Gaming Community

    @deonk Před 19 dny

    Thanks so much for making these videos, the work is incredibly impressive! Six weeks sounds quite short for the amount of steps and curveballs the game threw at you and your team. I appreciate the details you go for when making a translation patch such as implementing the descenders/ascenders here or the beautiful texture translation work in Boku no Natsuyasumi. I hope we get a BokuNatsu hacking video sometime. Have a great day :)

    if you don't understand the 4bpp image font with 4 1bpp images inside, imagine a 7(8, 10, 32, ecc...)-segment display, with every combination of on or off segments compose different numbers and simbols.

    I was considering translating the Super FamiCom version of Romancing SaGa 2. This is some really useful information. After seing this video, it seems to be complicated to participate in a translation project, but if the game is something I really love, I think I'd do it. Thank you very much for this video

    This showed up in my chrome "new tab" recommended feed of all places. I didn't even know that thing COULD recommend individual CZcams videos. Doubly weird in that this apparently isn't supposed to be public yet apparently? Anyways, this channel seems like an absolutely fantastic resource for the randomizers I work on. Maybe I'll see how viable MML2 might be as a multiworld randomizer?

  • @DemiGodX

    it's so refreshing to see a romhacking video with narration and detailed breakdown of what's going on. even if people don't fully grasp it, it's enjoyable to watch. I've seen many romhacking videos in the past and most of them are terrible, they have weird techno music playing and text across the screen for us to read. some videos don't explain anything, they act like we're supposed to just know what they're doing. but your videos are really motivating me to get back into it. I have a question about rebuilding discs, would it be possible to add additional content to the disc? like say I want to add a new graphic file or bin, can i modify the exe to have it point to the new data I just added? i've heard of code cave but i was wondering if i can just add new data in instead

    • @hilltopworks
      @hilltopworks Před měsícem

      Yes, it's possible. On PS1, you would need to check the SDK for the file loading functions and use those, and also find empty room in VRAM to put the graphics and upload it there so you can render it later. This was actually done by Esperknight on the Linda Cubed translation to add a font for the cutscene subtitles.

  • @freezingcicada6852
    @freezingcicada6852 Před měsícem

    Yooo. This shit is awesome. I like it cause it helps me visualize memory instead of seeing stack/heap boxes drawings. This might be a bad example, but Lets say you'd want to re-order something to be rendered. Common answer is to slap a whole struct into a linked-list/ references of it. But with a function pointer you could... just effectively re-arrange the function calls instead of re-ordering/re-alloc memory on the heap/stack.

  • @TMracer73

    Racing oil pan could've been used for: 1. Increased engine oil capacity; engine would take longer to reach optimal temps, but also stay at optimal temps more easily, since it increases the thermal mass of the engine 2. Baffles to prevent oil from sloshing, the largest benefit would've been to prevent oil starvation (which some engines were prone to with factory oil pans in very high G turns)

  • @lln6123
    @lln6123 Před měsícem

    Man I understood the basic part, I'll watch the rest to have everything heard already and come back later, thats some complicated stuff! The fact that you must be aware of the target platform you want to work with is already mind-blowing to me, eventhough when thinking about it its just logical. But the amount of knowledge... I want you to know that if youre capeable of that, thats impressive

    This stumbled on my feed and thoroughly enjoyed it, straight to the point. Not really interested in making hacks; mostly thought it would be a good way to have a more through understanding of more low-level stuff and programming in general. I do know some C and use Odin to learn more C, and C to learn more Odin type of situation. But I was fumbling around trying to learn text rendering and image compression without libraries; cause I just wanted to do something simple like get the r/g/b/a variables in a union/struct, change it and slam it back in. Couldnt get a straight answer and felt like going lower would answer the unexplained aspects concerning memory, how its laid out and if/how to read and write it(?)

    When installing on Linux you can't just unzip and it's ready have to have jdk installed and if it doesn't automatically find it you have to give it's destination and hopefully it works if not gotta find out where and add that and stuff. On Linux little more than just unzip
