I knew it was pretty damn weird to remove the patch for 'deal' reasons. The author also was obviously quite angry about the situation, not very surprising, anyone would be. While there are many unfinished, broken and terrible translations uploaded in RHDN (mostly from late 90s and early 2000s), that seems to be the actual reason for removing the patch from that website, the author asked for it to be taken away, because not only wasn't finished, it was stolen too. On the RHDN forums discussion about this opened today and the person doing this translation chimed in to say that the patch was stolen and distributed without permission, and in fact is glitchy, unfinished and in his/her own words with 'extremely shitty text'.

Or at least, I hope nobody would be stupid enough to jump into such an obvious trap.Īnyway, here's some new info that I didn't have yesterday: I don't think anyone with two brain cells to rub together would devote as much time as translating a game takes to 'help' someone to produce fake carts to make money based around copyrighted content owned by unrelated companies. Other times, a company even aproaches a fan-translator and buys their work, like Magical Drop 2, which Aeon Genesis Translation Project was making, but Data East snatched to put in their Data East Classics Collection.īut paying someone to make a translation so you can sell repro carts is quite another. Someone pays another individual to hack a game. How the hell could someone make a legal deal to sell cartridges with a copyrighted game? Specially with the current owners of the IP being Square Enix.Ĭommissioning a translation or hack to privately use is one thing (not one I like, but it has happened before).
