SEGA AGES Phantasy Star Generation I translated

A narrated video of the translation:



Apparently there wasn't a whole lot of hacking involved, so a lot of the text in menus is abbreviated.

Translation's avaliable here.

I still own the PS2 original though I will never play it.
I sure as shit will play a translation through emulation nation though!

I'm pissed at Sega for not releasing a remake of PS1 in English.

Looks pretty spartan. Hopefully they pick up some help and do a VWF and expand item names and such.

The original PS is a pretty low bar for localization, though. Although there is a re-translation hack of that (which also adds the original FM music back).

I was concerned about whether it would work on my PS2 after reading the included txt file, but thankfully, it works fine.

I was happy until I saw what was needed to get the BIOS from my PS2 to play. :(

You can get the BIOS file you need in about 30 seconds of typing and clicking.

or you could do the best thing and get a PS2 memory card exploit rolling

Does this require that the PS2 run homebrew software or am I thinking of something else? I'd prefer to play this via emulator so I can take screen grabs.

It's a way to get a PS2 to run homebrew software simply by having a configured memory card inserted. Google around "free mcboot" and you'll find a good amount of info, if you're interested.

I don't think it works on the latest slims, but I could be wrong.

I kind of just want to buy a Jap PS2 slim for import PS and PS2 games.

I think you need the network adapter and a hard drive to get the max usage of mcboot

This is what I did. My only regret is that I got a white one, since that is what I found cheap.

It is super convenient, sure, but you could still use ESR to play fan translations like this even without an HD.

This runs pretty well in the latest PCSX2 anyway. The DX10 renderer fixes a lot of the problems the emu had with 2D games.

The translation seems pretty weak, overall, but it gets the job done, and I like the remake. It's still just as grindy and difficult as ever, though.
