Theres a game i always wanted to play back then but it never came out anywhere outside of Japan. It's called Homeland and runs on the Gamecube. I remembered it just now, because of a picture i have saved for a decade now. A quick search on google shows that there are some people wanting to do a translation job, but they never really got around finding enough members.

According to this the game would still be playable online if translated wich is awesome. Sadly im not a hacker or fluent enough in japanese, so i wouldn't be of much help. But maybe some of you are and are interested in this.

It being a kids game, all content seems to be in hiragana/katakana, which I could translate, and wouldn't be hard to find others also willing to.
It appears most of the issues are with extracting and inserting text back in the game.
What a shame. Looks like a good game.
There might be programs out there for changing the text, it doesnt seem like a hard mod to do considering you're not changing anything too significant in terms of coding... I could be talking out of my ass with all of this but so long as you can translate it changing the text shouldnt be hard.
damn, that's actually real interesting. not quite retro but i'm kinda glad you mentioned it anyway. if anyone's interested in getting a translation going i could probably contribute with translation and editing, not so much with the actual hacking though, sorry.

I'm not the guy who run that help post on romhacking, so maybe you guys should just post in the thread to reach those guys.

looking at those threads the issue is more with lack of hackers than lack of translators, anon
Damn, I remember reading about this game when I used to comb GameFAQs' database for new vidya to play. Chunsoft made a lot of quality titles that will never see the west unfortunately.
