Kronos Trigger - monumental translation fuck-up hack
« on: January 11, 2017, 10:04:41 pm »
So, the other day the Twitch streamer Vinesauce introduced 'Kronos Trigger.' Apparently, one of his fans took the English version of the rom, ran it through several different language translations, then back to English. The result is an absolute gem! IPS patch attached

this looks entertaining.

also, I somehow never noticed until now that the Zeal throne is flanked by statues of nude women.

Anyone have an idea on how to go about doing this with other games? Say, Chrono Cross?

Why? Are you trying to improve its plot?

No. I just want to have fun with the translation outcomes. I would love to see all the funny results.

The Terminus toolset that Ramsus and yazoo modified was intended for making additional translations, so it should be usable for this, too. (And there my advice ends, because I've never tried to use the thing.)

Thanks. I'll look into it and see what I can do.

Ah, the consecutive translations thing.

Well, the idea is certainly amusing.

Original is best, but it's fun to spice things up. You wouldn't eat the same thing for every meal all your life, would you? It's fun to add variety.

It gives a game as old as CT a new sense of unpredictability and anticipation.
