Title: Famicom Pokemon Yellow - music/translation hack
Post by: Azathoth on March 01, 2012, 10:57:55 AM
I don't really know much about Pokemon titles (or Famicom pirates in general) but I thought this might be of interest to some.

Update By: Lugia2009

I started this project a couple of weeks ago.

This is a hack of Lei Dian Huang: Bi Ka Qiu Chuan Shuo,otherwise known as Pokemon Yellow.

This is an amazingly accurate famicom port of Pokemon Yellow. It's made by the Shenzhen Nanjing, the makers of the Final Fantasy VII and IV famicom ports. It also uses mapper 163. But unlike other games made by this company, this one is of very high quality. In some ways it's even better than the game boy version.

This game was praised for it's high quality, but criticized for the music. But this hack completely replaces the original songs in the game with ones that are more accurate to the original, and less annoying. The original 14 songs were replaced, with more than 20 new songs. Almost all are based on Pokemon R/B/Y, some are based on G/S/C.

This hack also translates many of the game’s menus. Pretty much anything that could be translated without hacking the game’s text system.

Have fun! :) (http://www.romhacking.net/forum/index.php/topic,14071.0.html)p://www.romhacking.net/forum/index.php/topic,14071.html

That said, I do welcome English translations of pirate originals. :)

Pfft, not all the music is even from Pokemon Yellow.  That, and some of the new renditions sound kinda bad.  Oh well, at least more of these games are being English-translated.  Now if only someone were to do that with more good pirate games instead of these mostly-shitty SNT games...

I actually considered translating this game to English a while back, the text system is really easy to hack. But the chances of me having the time to work on it are pretty low atm. ):
