I've been working on lots of projects I hope to release this year. Formal announcements will come soon but, just to hype you all, here's some of the awesomeness you can expect in 2026: - Lovecraftian cultists! - Evil automata! - Time-travelling cats! - Psychic schoolgirls! - MINI MARKETS!!!1!

We PS1 fans had it sooo good in 2025: youtu.be/FPN_KUQyPIs And, oh boy, just wait until you see what's coming in 2026! 🤩

A marvelous (and spoiler-free!) analysis of "Prisoner", that spares neither praise nor criticism! For anyone who's interested in finding out more about the game before giving it a go.

In case you missed it, whowasphone404 wrote a BRILLIANT top 10 list of the greatest GameFAQs contributors, to celebrate the site's 30th anniversary: gamefaqs.gamespot.com/top10/3276-t... It's an awesome read, and features interviews with many of the contributors and lots of interesting trivia!

I know I've been silent around here for a while, but guess what? It's because I'm super busy with ✨ new and exciting translation projects! ✨ I'll announce them soon, but wanted to throw this out there so you mates know good things are coming.

Go check the king @superretropolygons.bsky.social play two AWESOME games back-to-back!

I'm just going to drop this out there: why isn't there a mobile phone emulator for Barcode Battler that leverages the camera to read the bloody barcodes? Emu devs, I'm looking at you 👀

Patch update alert!

Okay, last post about it. Finishing this game, seeing all the charming dialogue, the weird places this game goes, and the best ending, I'm floored by how cool this game is. Everybody needs to experience this incredible game! (Thanks to @laytonloztew.bsky.social for the guided tour via RA set)

Finally, something to look forward to for next week! 💖

I never got into the whole achievements thing, but I know a lot of people love them, so this should be great news for y'all!

I'm right on the cusp of 2,500 (!!?) newsletter subscribers, so while I wait for a flight home at the airport I'm gonna do a little recap of this year's issues so far! I started with a big roundup of recent fan translations, including interviews with folks behind Team Innocent and Tales of Rebirth

it's happening

I love the smell of debugging in the morning. #WonderTrek #RetroGaming #FanTranslation #PS1

The MML series is an absolute treasure, and I love seeing people still rescuing it from Capcom's utter disdain all these years later.

Axyz is out now! It's a more relaxing Kula World and it costs about 1/20 the price of a physical copy of Kula World, now that's value! (also it's the first video I've ever been involved in so please go check it out 🙏) store.steampowered.com/app/2850490/...

I don't know Nick, it looks dangerous to me... The "Wonder Trek" English translation patch now has a new 6px font! It allows to show longer strings, which in turn provide room for a more accurate translation. Stay tuned for further updates! #WonderTrek #RetroGaming #FanTranslation #PS1

It's been a month since I released my second translation patch, "Prisoner" on the PS1. It got over 5K downloads (that I know of). That's 5K people who can now play a game previously unavailable. A mere six months ago I only *dreamed* of fan translating games. Follow your dreams! 💖

Taking a wee break from work and thinking about memes. What are your favourite ones? These are mine. Bloody peak comedy right there.

Hey @askiisoft.bsky.social I absolutely LOVED "Tower of Heaven" and "Katana Zero", but what happened with "Police Team Kazuo"? 🥲
