Since I've been back from Japan. I really have hit the dumps; back to normal daily life. Of where it feels like there is not much to do but sit at my computer all day and grind.

My last gift for myself, before heading back home. The new Famitsu magazine art is insane. Happy to have joined the line outside Yodabashi to get it this morning.

Saw the new Street Fighter movie in Japan. In possibly one of the best theaters I’ve been too. What a great experience this was to watch in Japan. Movie was quite amazing as well.

While still in Japan, you know I had to buy the Tales of Eternia remaster physical.

Over the last 6 months I have also resumed work on the Net De Bomberman revival project I last teased in 2023. Well, I have made some significant progress. Such as making a new feega service and getting into the battle arena successfully! So stay tuned for more!

In a couple days, I’m finally headed back to Japan after a long 10 years since I last went. A lot has certainly changed in those 10 years. This is my third time there; and excited to enjoy an adventure of not so much touristy stuff, but an adventure of go anywhere and anything.

Well PS3 and RPC3 can now play WKC2 online crossplay. Thankfully because this game uses a full dedicated server, there is compatibility for the two to play together! Coming soon :)

Part 3 This one is all about the tools and issues. I'll have to rebuild the game! But these tools make the journey much easier. www.youtube.com/watch?v=oNXo...

Part 2 of my journey into bringing back a lost MMO. The world is starting to feel alive now! Every episode that goes by, I'm so excited to show you the progress I've made. As seeing this all come alive just brings back so much nostalgia.

Project Inferia, The biggest journey I've ever taken to complete my life's goal. Bringing back Tales of Eternia Online. Over the last 6 years, I've been honing my skills and working slowly on this game that means the world to me. Today I present you the first part of my journey.

Well, it's been done! I have been able to make a mostly fully functional White Knight Chronicles 2 server! What you are seeing below is 3 friends on their first adventure in the game in over 13 years. Thanks for the help testing! @snowyaria.goodorevengreat.games @nichetopic.bsky.social

Nobody has seen these for well over 13 years! I'm in the process of working on a White Knight Chronicles 2 private server! Cannot wait to share more!

Surprise! I have gone ahead and ported over the English translation for "Hero Must Die" to the PS Vita! I'd highly recommend you play this amazing twist on a traditional JRPG. Avaliable now! t.co/JiJbScF1XA

While working on the translation for Dirge of Cerberus Lost Episodes, I found out that for the English text, they made some sacrifices to how the game displays text to make more room and left out some QoL stuff like colored speaker names. So I went ahead and reimplemented that.

After four days of bruteforcing and spending over $900, the FULL version of FFVII Dirge of Cerberus Lost Episode has been preserved by @yuvi.app! The game's SD card data, which it fully relies on, remained encrypted until now. Despite being 9MB, the game contains cutscenes and voice acting.

Funny enough, the game contained some leftover English for only the tutorial mission of the game. I went ahead and enabled it, but a full translation will still need to happen. Happy to help with that endeavor if anyone steps up to do it.

Man-eating angels wander the ruined streets of Tokyo. Haruaki searches for the human-turned-angel that he used to love. What will he do when he finds her? Innocent Tears is now here in English! Hacking - @yuvi.app Translation - @snowyaria.goodorevengreat.games Images - @nichetopic.bsky.social

This is what happens when you want to go REALLY FAST! 16x RTX 6000's over 100GKeys a sec is wild

Save Onigard from the clutches of Emperor Mahj with the power of riichi mahjong! Mahjaventure: Warring Tiles for the Famicom is out now in English! Patch: github.com/Eight-Mansio... Hacking: Pennywise Translation: @snowyaria.goodorevengreat.games Graphics: @nichetopic.bsky.social and Graphicus

A playtest build for the next translation to be released has been generated. So not too far off now! All I can say is this was the most complex ASM hacking I've done in a long time. With one of the biggest scripts I've been a part of. Fun times ahead. :D

Team Innocent videos now fully subbed and running on hardware, with my new PC-FX Video Encoder I made.

Cooked up a decoder and encoder for PCFX Blue Breaker videos. Getting tools ready to eventually do a translation :D

I was so excited to show you the first-ever WonderGate footage of Digimon 02 - D1 Tamers until, well, it got a little broken. 😄

Making a server for a Wonderswan game... Whoops overflowed everything

Everyone has got to check out how impressive "Lineage Mobile i" is on a cell phone back from 2007. Some awesome tech being used here to render this. www.youtube.com/watch?v=q6l4...

The start of something new :D Just a rough draft of trying to create an enclosure for a fully self-contained device that will add some awesome functionality to certain PSX games. It all fit, and clearances were on point.

Happy to helped on this project!

If you know, you know... This is huge progress for the project.

Tales of Fandom Vol. 1 for PSX now has working online leaderboards again! I just finished the server implementation. You might be asking, "How does the PSX have online connectivity?" Well, you could use certain docomo Keitai back then to give you PSX internet access. So cool!

A new partial copy of Before Crisis FFVII was preserved by NaoyaShinota! This copy contains Turk data for Cissnei, as well as a battle map and sprites for Weapon D Mode (postgame superboss mode). Now we preserved four Turks: Rod, Gun (Male), Nunchuck, and Shuriken (aka Cissnei).

Well... it's official... I need a translator for Tenerezza; the RE work is all but done. This has really been on my list to get done for far too long now. Happy to have made it all work, made the game work with 1-byte ASCII and everything as before that would crash no matter what.

Long time coming! But this was a fun challenge of a project.

Nothing makes me happier than to see the quality of the fan translations being released these days. Kowloon's Gate has always been one game on my list I'd love to play one day. So I'm happy to say that my good friends Hilltop and Cargodin are releasing it here soon!

I did a thing.

ICYMI, @yuvi.app released ReMEXA, an SDK reimplementation for J-PHONE, Vodafone, and SoftBank keitai games! These were competitors to i-mode games. They're finally accessible on Windows, Linux, and Mac. See my video for some featured games! An Android version is in the works too, so stay tuned...

The Android version of ReMEXA is coming along! I am working on GPU acceleration right now, since CPU cannot keep up for these later Appli (at least the one in the Retroid P2+) Its coming soon I promise :D

Introducing ReMEXA A full SDK reimplementation of all three JPhones SDKs into a single modern Java application that will work for Windows, Linux, and Mac. MA2/3/5 Audio support, 3D support, Online Bluetooth Gaming, In-game Live Translation Android support coming soon! github.com/Yuvi-App/ReM...

A glimpse at a new Open Source Jphone emulator I made running natively on Retroid Pocket 2+, Android 9+ compatibility. I am going to need a more powerful android devices to test with, running out of memory while debugging :D Cannot wait to announce this properly!
