Re: Metal Gear Remix v1.995, Metal Gear (MSX) Translation

Artemio, I'm gonna say that we're set. Playthroughs have been completed and everything works great. I have the final revision posted to the same Google Drive link. You can post it if you like. Hope everyone enjoys it!

Re: Metal Gear Remix v1.995, Metal Gear (MSX) Translation

Just an update, Artemio. Takamichi is playing through Japanese Metal Gear to get a feel for some of the context. He's trying to make sure we're spot on with Schneider's death message. I think we've got it all done, but we're gonna make sure.

Re: Metal Gear Remix v1.995, Metal Gear (MSX) Translation

This is very interesting. Yes, he is. Very interesting. This adds fuel to the fire, haha. I believe it is possible to enable these messages in the code, but their content would be purely creative. I enjoy the unique character of Kojima's work too much to mess with it though. There was some debate g...

Re: Metal Gear Remix v1.995, Metal Gear (MSX) Translation

Just an update. Takamichi made it to the Tank battle yesterday. So far so good! We've had some interesting discussions about the structure of the game since the update. As you may know there are four messages that were disabled in the Japanese game when it was developed. A GuillianSeed on msx.org th...

Re: Metal Gear Remix v1.995, Metal Gear (MSX) Translation

Thanks Artemio. It is good to read from you too! My career started just after I finished the patch and just have never had the time or inclination to look back at any of this until now. I'd love for you to host the patch, yes, thank you! However, it would be a good idea to hold off for a few days. T...

Metal Gear Remix v1.995, Metal Gear (MSX) Translation

Hi! I am the coder for the Metal Gear Remix project. I'm trying to recover some of my old logins to get the word out that I have a new, final, release for the project. I revisited this, because I was feeling nostalgic during this pandemic shut down and I've had plenty of time to put some work in. Fi...

I would think its a reference to the creation of Kojima Productions. Kojima probably felt he was being held back by the higher-ups at Konami.

Figured I'd post a bit of a report on my investigation into the Subsistence scripts... I dumped the scripts and posted them on my MG site (linked below). The scripts are extremely wordy (moreso than I originally thought). In the case of original Metal Gear the script contains very roughly 50% more d...

I'll probably spend some time poking around the subsistence versions this weekend for some information. I will, however, be honest and say that while I have interest in doing such a project, I do not have the motivation these days to stick to it. Hell, I was meaning to do a bug check on the disk sav...

Re: Metal Gear 2 Retranslation?

Now wouldn't it be possible to use the official Subsistence translation as base for a newly translated fan release of the original MSX2 version? What do you guys think? Am I the only one who'd love to see that happen? Just to chime in late... I considered doing this when Subsistence came out. It's ...

I can imagine Kojima saying the movie is a "reimagination" of the game series, so I wouldn't take everything as a given. I believe that is a given. Agreed. I think its should be taken as granted that many changes will be made in order to make Metal Gear more appealing in a movie format. W...

That may be so, but he did mention that the two Snake's would be brothers and that they may not be twins anymore, I would get you the interview for it, but I really cannot remember which one it was, it was a very early one; just after the MGS movie was confirmed at E3. If anyone can back me up on t...

I haven't seen it mentioned yet, but in MGS2 isn't MG Ray's cockpit HUD boot-up sequence the same as those for policenauts? (It's visible when Ocelot hops in Ray in the Tanker story)

Howdy all, I thought some of you would be interested to know i uploaded an updated translation for Metal Gear (1.9). My site's linked in my sig. Anyway it's got a couple of corrections and has been enhanced with lowercase lettering. I know this kind of translation is kind of irrelevant given the sub...

I've thought about that. Although, I have other things in the works at the moment and it's not my project. I'd have to consult Takamichi-san first.

Are there any other name changes to the MG1 characters, other than those already listed in this thread?
(if they're in that scan, i can't read katakana either)

I'm working on an update to the retranslation patch for the game and want to include the new names in one, if feasible.

Plus, a child soldier is still a child . I doubt that he would've engaged in actions similar to the Big Shell. War is war regardless of how old you are when you fight in it.

I'm looking for one which covers all of No.4's backstory information from the Special ...
