I've heard that Dual Orb is very hard to hack -- this is a blessed favor to the community. This game is a piece of garbage and doesn't deserve a patch or any attention at all.
It'll probably happen at some point. I don't think the world will be satisfied until every SFC RPG is translated.
Though I'm not sure how it ranks to Secret of the Stars, considered the worst officially-translated game.
I'm probably quite generous when saying I'd give that game a thorough mediocre rating (maybe a 5 or at most a 6/10).
Yes, it might have the graphics, sound, gameplay and writing of a typical 8-bit game but it was at least thorough enough to play like an average 8-bit game.
(I actually rather like its music. Not the greatest on the SNES but still rather catchy.)
Probably would have been a rather passable game in 1991, but it was released two years after that in Japan, and in the US against Chrono Trigger.
I'd say the same about SD Gundam Gaiden: The Great Prophecy, which was released in 1991 and plays like a first-gen 16-bit game. Passable I guess, for a Dragon Quest clone before the actual 16-bit DQs were released. Slowly working on my dictionary-assisted translation to get something out at some point but it's definitely looking like an 8-bit era RPG. (ie, the story seems to be little more than a trail of hints to get through the game)
