It appears that some people have been working on Quintet/Shade's Brightis for the PS1 for quite a while and the translation is essentially done, but they have run into some technical issues and are presently seeking help.

An actual translation or mtl? I hope its not some esl doing it.

They claim it was done by hand; they have a public spreadsheet linked on their GitHub if you want to check yourself. It should be better than what the ESL clowns at TransGen could have produced.

I was following this project as well, sad to see
Bumping for exposure

>>11886383 (OP)
If this game finally gets a proper translation, i may finally play it after giving up on the japanese release a few times

Posting here for visibility from romhacking.net, the wiki referred here is in the OP

Hi all, it's been quite a while!

Essentially a lot has happened. The notable things are:

All of the text in game has been translated by hand!
We've been able to reinsert some of the text successfully
We got a working DEBUG MODE .asm patch for the game which enables testing of just about everything!

However, there are a number of pointers for text in major cutscenes (as well as some for menus and other techniques) that I haven't been able to find. Along with a number of strange breaks that seem to occur when testing these patches. They've grown to the point that my limited knowledge of Ghidra and PCSX-Redux have begun to fail me, and I no longer can make any real progress alone.

I'm once again asking for assistance. I made a (multiple) write ups on the GitHub wiki but the latest announcement explaining a bit more on what's needed, where our tooling is, and how to help is here.

im still mad at the Zill O'll Infinite translation cause of those fags. It's half baked garbage and its never gonna get fixed. theres also the psp game but i dont think anyone's touched that yet

>>11886408
Oh it's someone else? I clicked explicitly to laugh at TransGen and the stew of shit they were cooking too.

>This project came about after I discovered that previous group (TransGen Translations) had abandoned their translation of Brightis without releasing any announcement or where they were in the process, and disbanded.
kek, bullet dodged.

Wasn't someone translating Hungry Ghosts too? Or is that still dead?

>>11886383 (OP)
That cover rocks. Medieval fantasy peaked in Japan in the 90s

>>11886467
the game is pretty straightforward IMO, so it's playable without translation.

Shade isn't actually Quintet
Thank you HG101 for spreading this misinformation

>>11887954
Have you considered meds?

>>11887954
Wrong + Shade's and Quintet's logos both show up when you boot the game.

Was hoping this would get translated. Pretty neat

>>11886402
AI and LLM is advanced enough now for fairly decent translations imo. No more machine translations with broken English.

>>11886383 (OP)
I hate to be a downer, but this game was awful when I played it. The game just wasn't fun, and the constantly respawning enemies ruined it.

>>11890663
That's your problem. Now go away, pendejo.

>>11890603
It's still not happening unless someone clever steps up and helps these lads, though.
