NEC PC-98 guide

New English patch for the system... this time for True Love, dating simulator with some hentai scenes. It also removes censorship, apparently



The patch has 0.9 as a version number, so revisions are expected in the future.

Information and download.

 

As seen elsewhere in this very phorum, the game Progenitor by Koei has been translated to English.

Judging by the information I've cfound, this is an strategy / simulation game in a similar vein to Uncharted Waters by the same developer, but with a space setting.





It looks fabulous, and a welcome departure from the usual hentai adventures.

Information and download here.

The patch needs to be applied on the HD version of the game from the Neo Kobe set. And in order to load the game you must use the bootdisk included in the game download.

 

Another English translation for the system, YU-NO: A Girl That Chants Love From The Edge of The World:



It's an adventure game from Elf and has adult content.

Information and download here.

 

P.S: As usual I screwed up. This is not a new translation, but a new version of said translation. Nevermind. I didn't even knew the game was translated in the first place!

 

Heeey, it fixed the crash that occurs right at this point when you talk to the guard:



Kinda weird it's not even mentioned in the Readme...

 

It is sad that the translation of Xak II has remained incomplete

 

Indeed. There are other versions of the game available in English, but the PC-98 is likely the better looking.

 

The English translation for YU-NO: A Girl That Chants Love From The Edge of The World has been revised again, now it has reached v1.6.

There has also recently been news about the translation of two visual novels into English. These are Xenon: Mugen no Shitai and Nova:

After some time without new translations for the system, today I've learned of a new English translation for Dragoon Armor , a dungeon crawler with some eroticism.



You can download it here.

 

There seems to be a new English translation for Xenon:



According to MobyGames, the game is about...

Kōji, a Japanese high school student, experiences strange, recurrent life-like dreams. He finds himself in a space station inhabited by beautiful young women. As he tries to explore the dream realm he wakes up. His teacher, intrigued by his account of the bizarre adventure, urges him to travel back to the space station in his dream and report his discoveries to her. Eventually Kōji realizes that his dream and reality are tightly connected, and finds himself compelled to avert a grave danger.

Xenon is an erotic sci-fi visual novel. The player takes control of Kōji by occasionally making decisions, most involving choosing a location to travel to. The entire game is confined to the space station of Kōji's dream and the high school building of reality. Depending on the player's decisions the story may branch into different directions, creating alternate versions of Kōji's dream.

I haven't found the patch yet, but you can get the patched game from Archive.org.

 

Today I've noticed brand new translations for Ancient Ys Vanished Omen , PC-98, PC-88 and MSX versions. The author is GhaleonX :



PC-98 version.

PC-88 version.

MSX2 version.

Make sure to read the release notes for controls and other tips.

EDIT: Even better, the links at Romhacking send you to the author's GitHub, where you can find patches for even more versions of the game, such as FM-7, FM-77AV or Sharp X1.

Yes. I added a quick PS when I noticed those. Seems that the author of the translation has looked into every Japanese version of the game. This will be great news for fans of the more obscure machines, which usually don't get much attention from the translation groups.
