I will have to try and translate a PCE game o e of these days. Bucket list item, naybe!?
Another thread time it seems.
There aren't many RPGs left for the original PCE, actually. I recall Benkai Gaiden, some Momotaru RPGs, Necromancer (the first one) and there was this one game based on Go Nagai's work... Susano-o, I think.
It's not an RPG, but I'd still like to translate City Hunter (PCE) one of these days.

Precisely, his lists are really good in the sense that you always know the exact number/percentage of untranslated games. As you can see, PCE/N64/MD have rather few games that you could objectively considered 'text-heavy', mercifully enough. It still boils down to NES/SNES, even after all these years, with PCE-CD being rather unexplored by fan-translators for other reasons.
When I think PCE-CD I think of David Shadoff and Nightwolve.
I think that many folks drawn to fan translation originally were fans of JRPGs on the SNES who realized at some point in their gaming careers that many JRPGs weren't making the trip to western shores. Also, a lot of folks just plain played/play Nintendo systems. Sadly, they don't care about, or at least don't have any nostalgia for other systems.
As for my personal anecdote, even being such a huge anime and Japanese game fan, one of the few systems I don't own is a PCE/PCE-CD. I have a Marty for crying out loud! I even own a PCE-CD game or two. I just, for whatever reason, have found it low on my list of priorities to collect for, or play on the PCE-CD. Or perhaps put off by the system cards, and array of hardware releases.

By the way, congrats on the release of Battle Golfer Yui filler/Supper! That's one more Genesis game down. Hope Supper does more hacking for the system. I have a couple of titles on my wishlist as far as MD fan-translations go, but either way the more, the merrier.
Thanks! I know at least one on the way. I technically traded Supper's work on Battle Golfer Yui, for the translation of the script for the Sailor Moon game on Mega Drive. I assume Supper will work on that next.
As far as me, I'm interested in trying to dump some scripts from some untranslated Mega Drive games, but we'll see. Depends on what I can make heads-or-tails of, and whether I'm working on something else or not.
