If you don't know what kind of work is takes mean it's hard enough to dump the project right now.

if you don't try and ask questions how would you ever learn? what game do you want to translate? there have been a few successful translation projects in the past. FF4 probably being one of the most notable. perhaps you might try to search out some of the translation teams members from some of these projects and see if they could offer some advise.

SNES hacking would be significantly different from Wii hacking. Having done several minor mods/translation attempts of SNES games a few years ago, I can tell you, in theory at least, it should be much easier to access the correct portions of the game and alter them since you won't need to individually rebuilt indexes and pointer tables.

That said, it's still not a walk in the park, especially because you'll still have to modify graphics, translate the game, bug test, and do quite a bit of assembly hacking...

  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I used to drink alcohol fairly often. Never to the point of it being a problem, but like 2-3 beers with dinner each night, or a few cocktails or glasses of Scotch or something. Started smoking/vaping weed a lot a few years back which killed 90% of my interest in booze. Now I stopped smoking/vaping weed as much and just deal with life the boring way most of the time

    I only drank alcohol once and it was by accident
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    I didnt know it was beer, it was on a juice bottle
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Yeah, I'm addicted to smoking, sadly. It's very addictive but I wish I didn't start.

    @SylverReZ, you played that Mario flash game called Mario 63?
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, No, but I've seen it on Vinesauce's stream.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, that game is one of the reasons i met newgrounds bc the full versión of it is in that site
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:

    Spoke to Tom Fulp the other day, if he can find his old Newgrounds site content like the mini Flash animations from the 2000's that played on the portal.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    So far no response, but he did say that he'll find them. Wayback Machine doesn't have em.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, atleast the 1999 versión of pico's school is avaliable (the difference between it, the 2006 versión and the 2016 versión is that the speed of the game depends of the speed of your computer and that it had the og soundtrack)
