Fan translations and other contributions that feel essential

Germs and linda same week???

I was going to post the link to the Linda Cube but of course the fine gentlemen on these forums beat me to it. The most important fan translation of the last 5-10 years? If not, it's certainly up there!

Already have the game running on my CRT. May be crazy to say but I feel like this is going to be my most anticipated game of the whole year.

In the lapse of a mere week I've jumped from not having a way to play PSX outside of emulation to having a game that was just released already running on og-ish hardware in like 0.3 seconds thanks to my new Mister. Feels insane||ly good!||

by the btw way it seems like the germs patch was deleted after someone pointed out how it probably wasn‘t the best translation, but it’s still on cdromance; it sounds like another group is also working on a patch that will hopefully be more accurate.

@“Mnemogenic”#p150904 Heck yeah. Any links for non-Twitter users? I have no idea how to use that site plus I think you need an account.

@“MovingCastles”#p150989 You can find the patch on GitHub here. They put the link below their calls for charity, and it‘s also a 0.95 release that Eight Mansions wanted to get out a bit early for public playtesting. (YMMV on whether that’s fair for everyone who‘s waited for the complete patch, but it’s a huge game to get through and who knows what players will find that the hacking team hasn't.)

There is also cdromance, the owner of the site tends to upload the games already patched as soon as possible (with permission from the translators). It's the most convenient option imo.

And also yeah, huge props to the translators for putting those links to charity first instead of the patch itself, shows a level of conscience I wish I was seeing more on the mainstream industry.

@“Pasokon Deacon”#p151002 Are you aware of what‘s missing that makes it .95 instead of 1.0? The readme talks about save files not transferring everything between patches and now I’m wondering if I should keep waiting.

@“Mnemogenic”#p150904 yooooooooooOOOOO

anyone know how long this is lol

@“Mnemogenic”#p151087 I‘ve heard that it doesn’t work on psp.

I also couldn‘t get it work on steam deck, but I didn’t really try that hard.

Personally, I‘d say that’s more like .07 than .05 but what do I know

looking forward to finally understanding what‘s the big deal with linda cubed. I’m on a PS1 kick already. once I wrap up a couple other games I‘m in the middle of, I’ll give her a go. (cubed)

Yeah, Germs, yeah, Linda Cubed Again, yadda yadda…… None of that matters in the wake of Kiki Kaikai Dotou-hen, dude

@“JoJoestar”#p150936 yeah, I'm gonna have to find a way to play this Live on the Real Deal, I think this is gonna be my big time PS1 game this year.

@“exodus”#p151429 Actually now that you say that, it could be super fun if we make it a monthly game club entry. Gathering the community and playing it along would be pretty cool I think!

@“JoJoestar”#p151439 good idea. The randomness of the wheel is good for most months, but would be good to add this one when it's Fresh.

Someone brought it up in the nomination thread but a Feb game was already picked. If we do it in March maybe we’ll get a few more big fixes if there are any.

We could always go for a Warp Zone like we did with Void Stranger. I‘m willing to wait until March if that’s what people decide though.

Selfishly I want to wait until March so I can get my CRT back from repair lol

@“sabertoothalex”#p151566 Then we absolutely should wait, all of us fellow CRTers should be able to enjoy it properly!
