It's a huge bugfix hack that also adds some new content and shuffles some stuff around to feel more like the other games. It's good stuff.

>> No.6216712

>>6216621
It became RHDN policy recently (early 2020) to remove patches based on the base game's contents, directly because of ResetEra vs Goemon 3 (hence the mention).
Napple Tales was released last year and is still affected by this, it's getting a "problematics removal patch" to replace the 1.0 version. More will come in time.

Pretending this doesn't happen is at best naive, and at worst malicious downplaying of the situation so that no one grabs the hack in time.
I will assume malice on your part, considering you brought up politics unprompted.

Contrary to recent vidya localizers propaganda, censorship and bad translations beyond what's required to get around grammar and hidden double entendres are NOT a requirement for any translation.
It's censorship, and very much its own thing. No better proof these days than the "localization changes" in both text and graphics being ported back to Japanese versions. Those changes sure aren't about "conveying obscure foreign cultures better" to the Japanese audiences themselves.

MrRichard spoke up about RHDN on twitter, regarding how they treated the Goemon team.
He is now permabanned... and most interestingly, any new translation with his involvement is banned, as well as anyone who tries to submit it.

A lot of romhackers already stated their support for the Goemon team, so expect a full-scale purge soon.
There is a backup from 2015 on archive.org, anything newer should be preserved because a lot of them rely on that compromised place as their sole hosting place.

From a playtester who replied to my questions regarding the patch:

Aethin said he regretted the story changes he made there. https://old.reddit.com/r/fireemblem/comments/cfwqyt/to_the_fans_of_the_tearring_saga_games_an/

The TRS script was translated in one go without feedback from testers and the like. Besides, he was less experienced back then (which is evident by the occasionally odd grammar in the patch and Holmes spouting "Parents can eat shit" at one point).

The changes in the Berwick translation are very minor in comparison, the BWS patch has been tested and vetted chapter by chapter, and has multiple Japanese speakers involved. Aggro_Incarnate provided a lot of input on scenes involving Herman for example. I also persuaded Aethin to modify the script to be more faithful at a few points as well (a line in the Roswick-Enid post-chapter 6 scene comes to mind).

Yeah, I can't say I'm a fan of this recent "fan-localization" trend (isn't the entire point of a fan-translation to avoid that that filter?), but this one promises to be a direct, raw retransation for once. Anyone know if that's true? The project page mentions a minor issue in the current version with the Dragonlord's secret entrance, but I dunno what that means.
>>6225735
The early Dragon Warrior localizations made a couple of changes to the Dragon Quest games (generally for the better, some unnecessary), so I can see there being a demand for a literal experience. I know some who prefer the SNES fan-translations over the official DS remakes, so this should be right up their alley. The next three are probaby planned next.

I'm not learning Japanese and some games are just unplayable without a translation. That said, I was not aware that these translators were making deliberate changes to the storylines, so that sucks. I'm conflicted now, but will still probably keep playing fan translated games

Okay people, I'd really like to know how far gone the RHDN situation is. I know about the Goemon thing, don't know about MrRichard, and have only a vague understanding of the submission grievances. For reference, I've been working on a retranslation patch on my own time (won't disclose which game now in fear it'll bite me later), and there are one or two lines where the official localization adds empowerment to a female character that simply wasn't there in the original text. In my mind, the change is very similar to one in EarthBound, where Paula says that instead of crying if Ness didn't arrive to rescue her, she'd "have had to try to bust out of here," which always rubbed me the wrong way because it made her seem like a lazy wretch that used Ness if she's supposedly capable of saving herself and reduces the dramatic setup of the circumstances in which you meet her. I admit, my retranslation hack also has elements of a relocalization, but this is something I will not compromise on since my goal is to be more true to the text and meaning of the original language. At this rate, if someone's going to shriek and hatemob that I removed girl power that was added in localization, we're going to have to set up shop elsewhere, except I don't know of any serious alternative to RHDN.

Thanks a lot for your work. More of these works are needed than ever.
If you're retranslating from Japanese don't call it a relocalization, that's what they call "rewrite by EOP" nowadays.
You're underselling your work.

Consider promoting your work on twitter and SET UP YOUR OWN BLOG.
Very important point there. Un-worked designs research is stored in a separate blog.
As >>6227896 said zophar is decent. There's a romhacking subreddit to market there.
romhackers or BHDN (which it split from) say they do this, but they have quite the baggage.

>Okay people, I'd really like to know how far gone the RHDN situation is.
To keep it short and to the point.
The Goemon 3 team was attacked by resetera, and despite calls to the community and administration to protect them by fellow veteran romhackers, the RHDN administration not only chose to refuse, but cracked down on the popular support for the translator. They bid their time, then blocked everything DDS would submit, even unrelated games (Goemon 2), until he would submit the cut patch as an option, then approved that temporarily and told him he had to make it mandatory. He then withdrawed from twitter.
Then other romhackers got complaints to "update" "problematic patches" released in the past over content in the original game. It's now a de facto rule.
Then the many romhackers who supported Tom and DDS are starting to get retaliated against over that, starting with MrRichard, and a NEW translation hack he was a contributor to, that's now banned from submission, and anyone who submits it is threatened with bans. A "deplatforming". They propose deleting his previous work as well (84 translations) There's many more romhackers (many "sjws too) who supported Tom and disapproved of this last move, who are next.

Just submit the patch there and don't bring up this little fact since it seems like it's a relatively small thing in the grand scheme. If you do, there's only a 50/50% chance they'll even notice, and if they do and have a massive bitchfit about it, congrats, your hack will enjoy the Streisand effect while simultaneously further making clowns out of the administration and their goons; if you DON'T, someone is going to find your patch and upload it there anyway, except they'll make shadow-edits to the script and give themaelves credit for "preserving" it.

Let's be honest with ourselves, everyone - "tranny" was a pretty shit translation of "newhalf". If you're using fanslations or fansubs, chances are that you've probably come across this word in passing, so don't tell me that it needed to be updated to a (not wholly accurate) cultural equivalent to be understood. I've always said this, but let corporations localize for normies and fans translate for niche, the latter doesn't need to become the former.

The real issue is that fan translations have become dependent on RHDN not just to host their patches but also to have a space for people to give them feedback and a place to hang out with other translators. There's nothing stopping them from putting it up on mediafire or wherever, making the announcement on twitter, and getting the word out by emailing some game journalists about it, but they choose not to because it means looking at 15-16 different places to make sure you're on top of all translation news at all times. Compare that to the OP where you just go to RHDN's front page and can see everything under the sun immediately.

This includes RHDN, there are people from reshetera who wormed their way up to the upper ranks of RHDN's staff so when you try to argue against RHDN you wind up arguing against reshetera and have to deal with all those people from that website who have no qualms with ruining your life prospects forever.

romhackers and BHDN are not respectable places.

During their feud to get their hacks approved, they tried to use the administration's double standards to get genuinely useful romhacks marked non compliant, and removed a few (mapper hacks)
The compromised moderation used that feud as their excuse to "compensate" by appealing to tumblr more (gender neutral zelda hacks by another crazie who tried to get nintendo to shut RHDN) and then resetera directly, first purging Zynk Oxyde at their direct demands, then this.

Zophar is a respectable place focused on its mission, and many romhackers have their own blogs now.

Emoyan no 10 Bai Pro Yakyuu is a baseball game by the highly problematic MrRichard999 who dared support Tom and call out the RHDN administration. Ganbare Pennant Baseball was banned, so this one should be banned too. What the hell, RHDN? This is a big oversight in your deplatforming of an enemy of the ResetEra state.

Dragon Quest retranslations have problematic content including transphobia, mysoginy, public pissing, fucking prostitutes in front of the church if the heroine is dead, and jolly other things.

Berwirck Saga translator regretted overlocalizing his Tear Ring Saga script, which makes this potentially problematic and in need of vetting by ResetEra, as Shozou Kaga is no stranger to rape tropes.

Aretha II is by the highly problematic Dynamic Designs group, some of them collaborated on the recently banned Konami baseball sim, and Wildbill is an editor again, and he's an open right winger who inserted political rants before in their games and angered ResetEra a lot (the only time you'll ever see ResetEra complain about the horrible practice of localization) D-D have a backup plan, their self-hosted website

It's not a weird obsession is the current happening in RHDN is an ongoing purge because of them. Them being not "trannies" specifically, but resetera, a well-known harassment operation directly causing all of this.

Outside of this situation (which both left and right scene members called out, because it's fucking harassment and a stalinian purge by association in progress for even people who work with people who dare to voice condemnation for that harassment), resetera is also known for organizing campaigns against LGBT-friendly games such as A.I. The Somnium Files (a fucking review bomb with homophobic reviews) so sweetie, I don't think your "those who hate resetera are /pol/ or the alt-right" spiel is gonna save your skin here.

>"your shitposts"
Again, hi resetera.
It's painfully obvious you're a samefagging shitter who wants this covered up, but you have no way to know we could tell, being the obvious parasite you are.

In honor of your valiant effort, here goes:

The compromised RHDN administration, to please ResetEra, will happily approve of harassment, enable it, further shadow-ban the targets of the harassment, punish translation teams for the contents of the original game (effectively removing "problematic games" by resetera standards, which is a lot and includes the likes of mother 3 and monster hunter, from translatable games) unless they willingly cut content, and if your team knows someone who speaks ill of these measures, them and their work will be banned from submission.

So save yourself the trouble and start your own translation websites, which don't have to be politicized shitholes such as baddesthacks or romhackers. Even a mongrel can start a blog, so a romhacker has no excuse for laziness. Leave their patreon drives and websites to rot, and work by your own rules.

RHDN administration sure gives a lot of shits about what resetera thinks.
And so a lot of big names condemned this controversy, and resetera specifically.
Then more did when the first wave of purges started.
That's precisely because they can't "move along with their projects" and pretend all is roses and sunshine when they are really starting to get affected by it, and everyone pressured into avoiding certain games and forced into a certain brand of "localization" most of their romhacks objectives run counter to it.

>non-productive romhacker consumers

>call romhackers lazy for whatever reason
This isn't resetera sweetie, so "lazy dev rhetoric" isn't a bannable offense to silence inconvenient discussions.
Romhackers already have to write submissions to RHDN.
It's LESS work and risk to do their own blog thing, and if they're getting years of hard work scrapped by cultist jannies over vacuous reasons like guilt by association and offsite drama, they have better things to worry about than how "offensive" this advice is.

Venom Kyo here, criminal mastermind behind most of the BHDN trolling. Don't fucking blame me for RHDNs nonsense. They've been pulling that shit since at least 2009. They got what I percieved to be at the time, "what was coming to them".

The fact of the matter is that many of the people running RHDN are the same type of people that would frequent a hellhole like resetera. At least one of the mods on the forum is also trans, so it's understandable why they would crack down on this.

That's not to say that I'm okay with it. Merely that they have the right to run RHDN however they want. The only reason they're the monopolistic tyrants you people portray them as is because we as a community have allowed them to. As of right now, even with all the nonsense they're commiting to, RHDN is the best we seem to be able to do. If you are upset about it, do what I am doing and open your own website.

Get a clue.

/r/ing a link to a patched copy of the Digital Devil Monogatari: Megami Tensei ROM for NES/Famicom. I'd apply the patch myself but I'm on Android exclusively atm. Also I cannot create threads due to my IP range being blocked or I would have asked /r/.

Dude, write a straight translation of the original, fuck the moralfags and fuck the REEEEsetera cu.cks, and dont apologize to them!

If you use the term "SJW", in earnest, you honestly deserve to be murdered. And so does every /pol/tard fuck in this thread.

/vr/ is dead. Good riddance. And I thought the Doom threads were the only ones completely overrun.

/v/ already has taken over the board. This thread should be proof enough, they couldn't even leave the few good threads on this shithole alone.

Go back to resetera, psycho.

No one deserves to be murdered over a term, or just because you, the paragon of morality, marked them as a kill. People who say things like you unironically need to be on a list in the legal system, then again anyone on pedoera probably is already on one.

You already got what you wanted. Half of the new english fan translations this week are by persona non grata teams on the RHDN administration list.

Nips outside the media will just refer to them as ’kama, i.e. Okama, meaning crossdresser/homo.
Any stream where one pops up tend to be spammed with it.

RHDN just killed themselves with the whole Goemon drama.

I don't see how you can be for years and are still unaware of Japan's fairly strong culture of political correctness. Shit, even if you're some bottom feeder English teacher here, you would still be aware of the revolving door of off limits terms.

You aren't even supposed to call blind people "blind" anymore, you're supposed to say "people who can't see" because apparently "blind" is a discriminatory term these days. For a country that's fetishized by /pol/fags as having a conservative, traditional culture where no one stands out, pretty much every interest group here has complained about the words used to refer to them. It's been like this long before SJWs, too.
