Projects

Boku no Natsuyasumi, the PS1 & PSP slow life game in which you enjoy a summer vacation in the 1970s Japanese countryside. Without so much as a single English release in the series’s two decades, I’m finally translating the PSP version of this classic.

The 1997 PC-98 adventure about death, family, and an otherworldly train. In English for the first time in over two decades. A flawed diamond, forgotten by time. With the translation comes a Player’s Companion, which offers context on the game’s development and explanations for cultural references.

The Nightmare of Druaga: Fushigino Dungeon, the roguelike PS2 sequel to the classic arcade game Tower of Druaga, has a lot of secrets. When Arika localized it, though, they removed the hints for those secrets. This is a translation of all of those hints, so the game can be played in English as it was meant to be!

Twilight Syndrome: The Search

Human Entertainment’s cult classic PlayStation 1 game about a group of girls investigating urban legends in their home town. Known in the West for being heavily referenced in Danganronpa 2. Can you believe it’s never been fan translated!? Someone’s gotta do it, and that someone is me.

Old video games’ save chips run on batteries… and when those run out, your savefiles are gone forever. This hardware mod I developed for Game Boy (and Game Boy Color) cartridges makes your savefiles immortal! Launched for purchase in January 2021.

A device for testing and programming ferroelectric RAM chips! Lets you safely use cheap FRAM for cartridge immortalization.

I translated all of the text in this legendary leak, and did quite a bit of disassembly, hacking, and documentation work to boot. Cryin’ shame the team fell to pieces. Art by RacieB!

A program that lets you convert between various retro tile graphics formats and PNG. So far it’s been invaluable in my disassemblies, ROM hack build systems, and reverse engineering work!

A personality-packed monster collecting game for the Game Boy Color. You don’t catch the monsters – you make friends with ‘em and get their phone numbers. I’m working on this both as a hacker and the main translator!

A Python library for extracting colors from images! Hey!

A device that lets you trade Pokémon between generations II and III – allowing you to bring your beloved mons all the way from the original Red and Blue up to today’s very latest games. It works on emulator, but the hardware is as yet unfinished.

A program for automatically downloading video game soundtracks from khinsider.com. Who doesn’t like a bit of frictionless tunage, y’know?

Like PYCS, I consider this prehistory for my activity as a creator: a website for checking Pokémon attack effectivity on the fly. It helped lay the foundation for my web development skills.

Python Chat Statistics. My first significant programming project ever, from when I was a tiny tyke. The code is a mess, and it doesn’t have all the features one might want, but… it works a charm, and it’s what started me on the path to becoming who I am today.
